Space egg

Abstract

A new and improved apparatus is disclosed that will allow a user to place an Easter egg in an upright position and have the Easter egg stay in an upright position without any external means of support. The present invention would comprise an Easter egg and a weight that would be strategically placed within the Easter egg. The egg would comprise two halves, an upper half and a lower half. Both the upper half and the lower half of the egg of the present invention would have an inner surface and an outer surface. The upper half would be the portion of the egg that would round out more gradually, while the lower half of the egg of the present invention would be the portion of the egg that would round out more quickly. The weight of the present invention would be located within the lower half of the present invention, and would be removably attached to the inner surface of the lower half of the present invention. Preferably, the weight would be located on the lowest possible point of the inner surface of the lower half of the present invention, which would ensure that the egg would stand upright when both the upper half and the lower half of the egg are attached to one another and a user attempts to stand the present invention up.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . An apparatus for displaying a toy egg in an upright position comprising: 
 (a) a toy egg comprising two halves, an upper half and a lower half, the upper half and the lower half each having an inside surface and an outside surface, the upper half and the lower of the toy egg each having a rounded end, the upper half capable of being removably connected to the lower half, the upper half of the egg including the rounded end of the egg that would round out more gradually, the lower half of the toy egg including the rounded end of the egg that would round out more quickly, and    (b) a weight having at least one flat surface, the flat surface of weight being removably attached to the inner surface of the lower half of the toy egg.    
     
     
         2 . An apparatus for displaying a toy egg in an upright position according to  claim 1  wherein the weight would be designed in the shape of a cross-section of a tube.  
     
     
         3 . An apparatus for displaying a toy egg in an upright position according to  claim 1  wherein the weight would preferably be removably attached to the point on the inner surface of the lower half of the toy egg closest to the rounded end of the lower half.  
     
     
         4 . An apparatus for displaying a toy egg in an upright position according to  claim 1  wherein the toy egg would be designed to represent an Easter egg.
