Abstract
An artificial banana apparatus includes a plurality of artificial banana bodies, each artificial banana body being elongate and curved, each artificial banana body having a stem end and an opposed tip, and each stem end having a channel. The banana apparatus including a plurality of elongate stems, each stem having a first end telescopically received in a respective channel to allow a length of the stem outside said artificial banana body to be adjusted, each stem having a second end with a magnetic element. The apparatus includes a stem hub having at least one magnetic element complementary to the stem magnetic elements to removably couple the stems to the stem hub, the stem hub having at least two rows of sockets complementary to the stem second ends to receive the stem second ends in at least two rows.
Claims18
An artificial fruit apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of artificial fruit bodies, each artificial fruit body having a proximal end and a distal end, each proximal end telescopically receiving an artificial stem to allow a length of said stem outside said artificial fruit body to be altered;
- a stem hub, said stem hub includes at least one complementary magnetic element;
- means for removably coupling said stem hub to plurality of said artificial stems, said means for removably coupling includes a magnetic element coupled to each artificial stem;
- and
- a display stand having a base and an arm above said base, said arm being configured complementary to said stem hub for supporting said stem hub above said base.
An artificial banana apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of artificial banana bodies, each artificial banana body being elongate and curved, each artificial banana body having a stem end and an opposed tip, each stem end having a channel;
- a plurality of elongate stems, each stem having a first end telescopically received in a respective channel to allow a length of said stem outside said artificial banana body to be adjusted, each stem having a second end with a magnetic element;
- a stem hub having at least one magnetic element complementary to said stem magnetic elements to removably couple said stems to said stem hub, said stem hub having at least two rows of sockets complementary to said stem second ends to receive said stem second ends in at least two rows.
An artificial banana apparatus, comprising:
- a stem hub having front and rear ends and top and bottom sides, said front end having a width that is less than a width of said rear end, said bottom side having at least two row of sockets;
- a plurality of elongate stems having first and second ends, a respective stem second end being received in each socket, said stem second ends are removably received in said sockets;
- each stem second end has a magnetic element;
- and
- said stem hub has at least one magnetic element complementary to said magnetic elements of said stem second ends, wherein said stem second ends are removably coupled to said stem hub;
- a plurality of artificial banana bodies, each artificial banana body being elongate and curved and having a stem end and an opposed tip, each stem end having channel, a respective stem first end being telescopically received in each channel.
