Hanging planter with obscured attachment point
A planter includes a wall and a rim formed at an open end portion of the wall. A set of holes is formed through the wall and is disposed on a surface beneath the rim. The surface beneath the rim includes a shape to obscure a view of the hole below the rim.
1. A planter, comprising:
a wall that includes a set of holes through a surface of a top portion of the wall;
a rim formed at an open end portion of the wall, above the set of holes; and
a hanger assembly including a set of attachment features, each attachment feature including two arms that branch from a common point at the attachment feature, wherein the two arms include a first arm that is configured to engage an inner surface of the planter at a first height and a second arm that extends around the rim and includes an internally facing hook, at a distal end portion, that hooks under the rim and passes through a respective hole in the set of holes and bends toward the rim to secure the planter in a hanging arrangement, and wherein each first arm includes a first length, that extends inwardly into the planter, and a second length, that extends from a distal end of the first length and makes contact with the inner surface, the second length having an enlarged section at its distal end.
2. The planter as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second arm engages an external surface of the planter at a second height different from the first height.
3. The planter as recited in claim 1 , wherein the hanger assembly includes a one piece monolithic construction.
4. The planter as recited in claim 1 , wherein the rim includes a smooth contour such that the set of holes provide the only attachment points for the hanger assembly to secure the planter.
5. The planter of claim 1 , wherein each second arm includes a curved length that extends from the common point to a respective hole from the set of holes and the internally facing hook at a distal end of the curved length.
6. A planter, comprising:
a wall that includes a set of holes through a surface of a top portion of the wall;
a rim formed at an open end portion of the wall, above the set of holes; and
a hanger assembly including:
a hook;
a set of cables attached to the hook; and
a set of respective attachment features connected at ends of respective cables, each attachment feature including two arms that branch from a common point at the respective cable, wherein the two arms include a first arm that is configured to engage an inner surface of the planter at a first height and a second arm that extends around the rim and includes an internally facing hook, at a distal end portion, that hooks under the rim and passes through a respective hole in the set of holes and bends toward the rim to engage the inner surface of the planter at a second height and to secure the planter in a hanging arrangement, wherein each first arm includes a first length that extends inwardly from the respective cable into the planter and a second length that extends from a distal end of the first length and makes contact with the inner surface, the second length having an enlarged section at its distal end, and wherein each second arm includes a curved length that extends from the respective cable to a respective hole from the set of holes and the internally facing hook a distal end of the curved length.
7. The planter as recited in claim 6 , wherein the second height is different from the first height.
8. The planter as recited in claim 6 , wherein the hanger assembly includes a one-piece monolithic construction.
9. The planter as recited in claim 6 , wherein the rim includes a smooth contour such that the set of holes provide the only attachment points for the hanger assembly to secure the planter.
10. The planter as recited in claim 6 , wherein the set of cables includes four cables.
11. The planter as recited in claim 6 , wherein the set of cables is attached to the hook in a linear arrangement.
12. The planter as recited in claim 6 , wherein the hanger assembly further includes an attachment feature on a body of the hook.
