ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use with a Christmas tree cascades artificial snow particles through the tree branches. The apparatus includes a conical particle collecting receptacle having an interior surface inclined with respect to the axis of the cone at an angle sufficient to direct snow particles, by the force of gravity alone, into a sump portion. An aperture at the center of the cone receives the trunk of the tree, and tabs extend from the periphery of the aperture for sealing the receptacle to the trunk.
The apparatus further includes a blower mountable on the tree trunk above the cone having a particle inlet conduit for communication with the sump portion of the receptacle and a particle outlet conduit. The outlet conduit leads to a deflector positioned atop the tree. The deflector has a conically flaring hollow for deflecting particles discharged from the outlet conduit through the tree branches to the receptacle.
