Hanging basket cover

A hanging basket cover comprising:

• an integrally formed body including a first open end, a second opposing end and an inner peripheral surface, said body including a designated shape and a flat, outer surface that angles inwardly from said first end to said second end along an entire length of said body:
• at least two arms adjacent to said open end, said arms transversely extending from and hingedly connected to said body, wherein said at least two arms move between a rest position and one of an upward flexed position and a downward flexed position, each of said arms including a first end attached to said body and an opposing, second end including a stop extending transversely from said second end;
• and
• a support ring spaced from the first open end and the second end such that the support ring is positioned between the first open end and the second end of said body, said support ring extending along the entire inner peripheral surface and transversely extending inwardly from the inner peripheral surface of said body, and including a plurality of flexible tabs configured to move between a rest position and one of an upward flexed position and a downward flexed position based on the movement of the hanging basket relative to said body, wherein the tabs are configured to engage a sidewall of the hanging basket and align the hanging basket within said body,
• wherein, when in use, a hanging basket is inserted into said first, open end of said body and against said plurality of flexible tabs of said support ring and at least two arms and against said tabs causing said at least two arms and said tabs to move from said rest position to said downward flexed position for allowing the hanging basket to move into said body until said at least two arms extend over a top edge of the hanging basket and move to said rest position for securing said body to the hanging basket, wherein each of said tabs remain in the downward flexed position against an outer surface of the hanging basket and each of said stops engage an inner edge of the hanging basket to limit lateral movement of the hanging basket relative to said body, and
• wherein said body is removed from the hanging basket by disengaging said stops from the inner edge of the hanging basket and moving the body downwardly relative to the hanging basket causing said at least two arms to move to said upward flexed position until body is separated from the hanging basket, said body maintaining said designated shape when the hanging basket is inserted into said body and when said body is removed from the hanging basket.

A hanging basket cover comprising:

• an integrally formed body including a first, open end, an opposing second open end and an inner surface extending therebetween, said body including an outer surface that angles inwardly from said first end to said second end along a length of said body, and a diameter that decreases from said first end to said second end;
• at least two flexible arms transversely extending from said first end of said body, each of said arms including a first end attached to said body and an opposing, second end including a stop extending transversely from said second end, said arms being movable between a rest position and a flexed position;
• and
• a plurality of flexible tabs extending radially inwardly from said inner surface of said body, wherein said plurality of flexible tabs and said at least two flexible arms are different,
• wherein a hanging basket is inserted in said first end of said body and against said flexible arms causing said flexible arms to move to said flexed position for allowing the hanging basket to move into said body until said flexible arms extend over a top edge of the hanging basket to secure said body to the hanging basket, wherein said plurality of flexible tabs are configured to contact a portion of the hanging basket between the top and bottom ends of the hanging basket to align the hanging basket within said body, and wherein each of said stops engage an inner edge of the hanging basket to limit lateral movement of the hanging basket relative to the body.
