F21V 704
US Classification:
362 32
Abstract:
A tree-simulating illuminated decorative device, which includes an upper frame member, a plurality of light-conducting rod shaped elements having first axial extremities carried on an upper frame member, a lamp mounted proximate to the upper frame member for illuminating the first axial extremity of each of the rod shaped elements, and a plurality of sprays of optic fibers. A spray is in light communicating relationship with each of the rod shaped elements. In another form of the invention a tree-simulating illuminated decorative device includes an upper frame member and a plurality of light-conducting bough members, each having a first axial extremity fixed to the upper frame member. The locus of the connections between each of the light-conducting bough elements and the upper frame members may be a circle. The light-conducting elements may extend both downwardly and radially outwardly from the upper frame member.
