Benefits of technology
"The invention is a single elongated tubular shaped piece of plastic or metal that is attached to a safety pin. This tubular support body is designed to hold flower stems and has an inner and outer diameter that depends on the size and quantity of the flower stems being used. The tubular support body is typically open on both ends, but can also be closed at one end to prevent leakage from the flower stem. The safety pin is a rotating clasp that can be easily removed or replaced. The invention is used to create a corsage by inserting flower stems into the hollow interior of the tubular support body and securing them with floral tape. The technical effects of this invention are that it provides a simple and secure way to create a corsage with flower stems that are held in place and can be easily removed or replaced."
Problems solved by technology
Corsages are attached using straight pins, which can often result in injury to the corsage wearer because there is no protective covering over the sharp end of the straight pin.
Using the traditional straight pin attachment method, the stem of the flower or flowers of the corsage is damaged when the straight pin is pushed through the stem of the flower.
The stem can also be bent or broken as the result of accidental contact with the corsage.

Embodiment Construction
[0014]As previously described, the invention is an improved corsage mounting apparatus. In the following description of the invention, florist is intended to mean any person using flowers, either real or fake, to create a corsage with the described invention. The word corsage encompasses both corsages and boutonnieres and any device used to secure flowers to the body of a person.
[0015]FIGS. 1-2 demonstrate one embodiment of the invention, which comprises an elongated tubular support body 20 with a safety pin 10 attached thereto. The elongated tubular support body 20 has an internal cavity which is accessible through openings at either end of the elongated tubular support body 20. The inventor envisions the safety pin 10 molded directly into the elongated tubular support body 20. In alternative embodiments, the safety pin 10 could also be fastened to the elongated tubular support body 20 with an adhesive, rivets, twist ties, zip ties or other process that would result in the safety p...

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Historically corsages have been worn as fashion accessories during formal occasions. Corsages are traditionally pinned to the front portion of a dress or suit near the shoulder. Corsages are attached using straight pins, which can often result in injury to the corsage wearer because there is no protective covering over the sharp end of the straight pin.[0002]Using the traditional straight pin attachment method, the stem of the flower or flowers of the corsage is damaged when the straight pin is pushed through the stem of the flower. The stem can also be bent or broken as the result of accidental contact with the corsage. Through the natural movements of the corsage wearer, the stems can bend or break as a result of the straight pin attachment method.[0003]Over at least several decades, attempts have been made to achieve replacements for the conventional long straight corsage-mounting pins. The inventor does not know of an alternative corsage mounting...
