Abstract
A ferris wheel-like structure for feeding birds or acting as a planter which may be supported in one of a myriad of positions.
Claims11
A ferris wheel-like structure comprising the combination of:
- at least two spaced apart extending support members forming a common axis of support;
- a rotatable member operatively connected to said at least two extending support members, said rotatable member being freely and rotatably supported from said extending support members, said rotatable member being disposed in axially spaced manner from each of said extending support members, said rotatable member including a plurality of ray-like members radiating therefrom to terminate at respective distal end portions;
- at least one holding member coupled to said distal end portion of one said ray-like member of said rotatable member;
- and
- a base operatively connected to said at least two spaced apart extending support members and being adapted to support said ferris wheel-like structure in one of a myriad of positions.
2 more elements
A ferris wheel-like structure comprising the combination of:
- at least two spaced apart extending and upstanding support members forming a common axis of support;
- a rotatable member including two spaced apart members having extending rays radiating in symmetrical fashion to terminate at respective distal end portions, said rotatable member being operatively supported from said at least two extending and upstanding support members in freely rotatable fashion, each said extending ray being disposed in axially spaced manner from said extending support members, said extending ray members having a rod member extending between said respective distal end portions thereof;
- a plurality of holding members each coupled to one said rod member for holding a predetermined material, said holding members each comprising a unitarily constructed double container having opposed container portions and an interconnecting bridge portion which is frictionally and releasably secured upon said rod members extending between said ray members, and a planar base member operatively connected to and extending between said at least two spaced apart extending and upstanding support members wherein said planar base member may be secured in one of a plurality of positions and wherein said rotatable members may freely rotate about said axis and wherein said holding members are pivotable about said rod members.
