Abstract
A decorative cover is adapted for receiving and storing a plumbing plunger in a generally upright position. The decorative container includes a base member for receiving the plumbing plunger and a cover member for engaging the base member and covering the plumbing plunger. The base member has a generally flat bottom wall and four generally inwardly tapered intersecting sidewalls extending upwardly from an upper surface of the bottom wall by a predetermined distance. A portion of the bottom wall extends outwardly beyond the sidewalls to establish a supporting lip. The cover member has four intersecting sidewalls which taper inwardly from a lower end to a curved upper portion. The cover member is sized and shaped to surround and snugly engage the sidewalls of the base member when the cover member is installed on the base member. The lower end of the cover member engages and is supported by the base member supporting lip.
