Corner pot holder adapted for use on a deck

Abstract

The present invention is to an improvement in accoutrements for a patio deck. In particular, the present invention provides a corner pot holder. The corner pot holder is of unitary construction. Unitary construction allows the corner pot holder may be stamped from a piece of metal or may be molded from plastic. The corner pot holder permits the flower pots held by the corner pot holder to drain thus avoiding stagnant water.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A corner pot holder adapted for use on a deck, 
 said corner pot holder having a unitary construction;    said unitary construction having a planar surface;    said planar surface having a length and a width;    said planar surface having one or more surface means for defining at least one opening through said planar surface, for when in use, receiving and supporting one or more containers;    a second surface adjacent to said planar surface;    said second surface having a length and a width; and    said second surface extending from said planar surface at a generally right angle.    
     
     
         2 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 1 , having one or more second surface openings in said planar surface, for when so used, receiving fastening means to fasten said planar surface to a deck.  
     
     
         3 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 1 , wherein said planar surface is generally trapezoidal.  
     
     
         4 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 1 , wherein said width of said second surface is equal to or slightly less than said width of said planar surface.  
     
     
         5 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 1 , wherein said planar surface having one or more surface means for defining at least one opening through said planar surface, for when in use, receiving and supporting one or more containers is the sole support of the containers.  
     
     
         6 . A corner pot holder adapted for use on a deck, 
 said corner pot holder having a unitary construction;    said unitary construction having a planar surface;    said planar surface having a length and a width;    said planar surface having one or more surface means for defining at least one opening through said planar surface, for when in use, receiving and supporting one or more containers;    a second surface adjacent to said planar surface;    said second surface having a length and a width;    a pair of flanges extending from said planar surface, for when in use, supporting said corner pot holder on a surface of a deck.    
     
     
         7 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 6 , having one or more second surface openings in said planar surface, for when so used, receiving fastening means to fasten at least one of said flanges to a deck.  
     
     
         8 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 6 , wherein said second surface extends from said planar surface at a generally right angle.  
     
     
         9 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 6 , wherein said planar surface is generally trapezoidal.  
     
     
         10 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 6 , wherein said planar surface having one or more surface means for defining at least one opening through said planar surface, for when in use, receiving and supporting one or more containers is the sole support of the containers.  
     
     
         11 . A corner pot holder adapted for use on a deck, 
 said corner pot holder having a unitary construction;    said unitary construction having a planar surface;    said planar surface having a length and a width;    said planar surface having one or more surface means for defining at least one opening through said planar surface, for when in use, receiving and supporting one or more containers;    a second surface adjacent to said planar surface;    said second surface having a length and a width;    a third surface adjacent to said planar surface;    said third surface being in a different plane than said second surface and generally parallel to said second surface.    
     
     
         12 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 11 , having one or more second surface openings in said planar surface, for when so used, receiving fastening means to fasten at least one of said flanges to a deck.  
     
     
         13 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 11 , wherein said second surface extends from said planar surface at a generally right angle.  
     
     
         14 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 11 , wherein said planar surface is generally trapezoidal.  
     
     
         15 . The corner pot holder according to  claim 11 , wherein said planar surface having one or more surface means for defining at least one opening through said planar surface, for when in use, receiving and supporting one or more containers is the sole support of the containers.
