Apparatus and method to manufacture a leaf display device

US-7302747-B1

Abstract

A method and apparatus to manufacture a leaf display device. The method includes the steps of positioning a top leaf on a broadleaf stem substantially co-linear with the broadleaf stem; positioning a leaf adjacent the top leaf substantially parallel to, and on top of the top leaf; positioning a leaf adjacent the leaves already stacked substantially parallel to, and on top of the previously stacked leaves; and repeating the previous step until all leaves desired to be stacked have been stacked. The method may include the additional steps of employing a notched broadleaf stem holder to hold stacked broadleaf stems in the correct configuration until they are ready to be used for assembly. The notched broadleaf stem holder may be supported on a table or a transportation device by means of a broadleaf stem holder support. An alternate embodiment broadleaf stem holder comprises a recess sized to admit and hold at least one stacked broadleaf stem. The alternate embodiment broadleaf stem holder may comprise one or more partitions defining individual recesses sized to admit and hold at least one stacked broadleaf stem.
