Magnetic floral attachment device

Abstract

The invention provides a magnetic floral attachment device which includes a T-shaped flower receiving body and a magnetic component to be placed on opposite sides of an article of clothing so as to secure the flower in place. The attachment device is an improved mechanism for attaching floral arrangements, such as corsages or boutonnieres, to garments in that it eliminates the use of floral pins which can cause damage to skin or clothing and provides an improved means with a unique shape and magnetic grip to firmly hold the floral arrangement in place.

1 . A magnetic floral attachment device comprising: 
 (a) a T-shaped body and a magnetic component,    (b) said T-shaped body made of magnetically attractive metal including a horizontal head portion and an elongated vertical shaft portion to which a floral arrangement may be affixed with floral tape, said T-shaped body to be placed against the outer surface of a garment,    (c) said magnetic component which is elongated in complimentary relation to said horizontal head portion of said T-shaped body, said magnetic component to be placed on the interior surface of a garment directly complimentary to said horizontal head portion of said T-shaped body so as to produce a magnetic attraction of such force to securely attach said floral arrangement to said garment.    
   
   
       2 . A magnetic floral attachment device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said T-shaped body is made of pliable magnetically attractive metal material and which further includes an arm or plurality of arms extending perpendicularly from said elongated vertical shaft portion, said arm or plurality of arms to be bent over a stem or stems as a means to secure said floral arrangement.  
   
   
       3 . A magnetic floral attachment device comprising: 
 (a) a T-shaped body and a magnetic component,    (b) said T-shaped body made of non-magnetically attractive material including a horizontal head portion and elongated vertical shaft portion to which a floral arrangement may be affixed with floral tape, said horizontal head portion which includes a magnetically attractive metal plate affixed posteriorly thereto, said T-shaped body to be placed against the outer surface of a garment,    (c) said magnetic component which is elongated in complimentary relation to said magnetically attractive metal plate of said T-shaped body, said magnetic component to be placed on the interior surface of a garment directly complimentary to said magnetically attractive metal plate of said T-shaped body so as to produce a magnetic attraction of such force to securely attach said floral arrangement to said garment.    
   
   
       4 . A magnetic floral attachment device as defined in  claim 3 , wherein said T-shaped body is made of pliable non-magnetically attractive material and which further includes an arm or plurality of arms extending perpendicularly from said elongated vertical shaft portion, said arm or plurality of arms to be bent over a stem or stems as a means to secure said floral arrangement, and which further includes a magnetically attractive metal plate affixed posteriorly to horizontal head portion of said T-shaped body.  
   
   
       5 . A method for fastening a floral arrangement to a garment without penetration, comprising: 
 (a) providing a T-shaped body and a magnetic component,    (b) affixing stems of said floral arrangement to front of said T-shaped body,    (c) providing a magnetically attractive metal surface on posterior of top horizontally extending portion of said T-shaped body,    (d) placing said T-shaped body on outer surface of a garment,    (e) providing said magnetic component of size in relation to said top horizontally extending portion of said T-shaped body,    (f) placing said magnetic component on inner surface of said garment in relation to said top horizontally extending portion of said T-shaped body,    whereby said floral arrangement is attached to said garment in a secure manner.    
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein a pliable arm or plurality of arms extend from the vertical portion of the T-shaped body, bending said arm or plurality of arms to bind stems of said floral arrangement to said T-shaped body.
