ABSTRACT:
Artificial Christmas trees have been formed by sandwiching one or more thin strips of plastics sheeting, whose side edges have been severed by a very large number of closely spaced transverse cuts so as to give transverse elements simulating the pine needles, between a pair of wires approximately at the longitudinal center line of the strip. The resulting structure is cut to a length of two twigs and joined at its center to a main branch formed, for example, by twisting a pair of larger wires. A full branch is formed by providing a number of such twigs spaced along the length of the branch. In a branch of an artificial Christmas tree according to the invention a length to be formed into a pair of twigs is formed by twisting the composite structure at the center of its length relative the two ends forming twists of opposite directions on either side of the center. As a result the simulated pine needles trapped between the twisted wires on each half are oriented towards the outer ends or what will be the tips of the twigs and the simulation of the resulting artificial Christmas tree to a real tree is enhanced.
