| Abstract: |
A new and improved container assembly apparatus for attachment to the front surface and rear surface of a memorial stone at a vertical edge of the memorial stone, for supporting an item (such as an arrangement of flowers) on the memorial stone. The apparatus includes a first clamping arm for placement against the front surface of the memorial stone, a second clamping arm for placement against the rear surface of the memorial stone, and a clamping arm support for supporting the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm in a horizontal orientation in spaced relation with each other. The clamping arm support is positioned in a vertical orientation adjacent a vertical edge of the memorial stone, such that the front surface and the rear surface of the memorial stone that are adjacent to the vertical edge of the memorial stone can be sandwiched between the first and second clamping arms. Connected to the clamping arm support, a clamping-pressure-exerting assembly is provided for forcing the first clamping arm against the front surface of the memorial stone. A container is connected to the clamping arm support for supporting the item (e.g. flower arrangement) adjacent to the vertical edge of the memorial stone. The clamping-pressure-exerting assembly may include a resilient material bend located between the first clamping arm and the clamping arm support. Alternately, the clamping-pressure-exerting assembly may include adjustable, threaded connector assemblies.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:
1. A new and improved container assembly apparatus for attachment to a substantially flat front surface and substantially flat rear surface of a memorial stone at a vertical edge of the memorial stone, for supporting an item on the memorial stone, said apparatus comprising:
- a first clamping arm which includes a clamping surface mid-way along said first clamping arm adapted for placement against the substantially flat front surface of the memorial stone,
- a second clamping arm which includes a clamping surface mid-way along said second clamping arm adapted for placement against the substantially flat rear surface of the memorial stone,
- clamping arm support means for supporting said first clamping arm in a horizontal orientation and said second clamping arm in a horizontal orientation in spaced relation with each other, said clamping arm support means being positioned in a vertical orientation adjacent a vertical edge of the memorial stone, such that the substantially flat front surface and the substantially flat rear surface of the memorial stone adjacent to the vertical edge of the memorial stone can be sandwiched between said clamping surface of said first clamping arm and said clamping surface of said second clamping arm,
- clamping pressure exerting means, connected to said clamping arm support means, for forcing said clamping surface of said first clamping arm against the substantially flat front surface of the memorial stone, and
- container means, connected to said clamping arm support means, for supporting the item adjacent to the vertical edge of the memorial stone.
