ABSTRACT:
A bracket for supporting a plurality of artificial tree branches, such as those used to form artificial Christmas trees, from a tree trunk in an angular relation simulative of the natural relationship between a tree trunk and tree branches. The bracket member includes a collar mounted on the tree trunk and a plurality of radially extending, circumferentially spaced arms unitary therewith with each of the arms defining an upwardly opening channel having parallel side walls and an upwardly and outwardly inclined bottom wall for receiving the inner twisted wire end of an artificial Christmas tree branch. One side wall of each arm is provided with a vertical slot therein and the opposite side wall is provided with a lateral projection defining a socket communicating with an opening in the opposite side wall to enable the laterally extending end of the twisted wire end of a Christmas tree branch to be assembled and disassembled with respect to the arm by inserting the offset end into the socket while passing the major portion of the tree branch end through the slot with the tree branch then being pivotally connected to the arm with the inclined bottom of the channel forming a downward limit for the downward swinging movement of the tree branch thereby orienting it in a desired angular relation to the tree trunk and permitting free upward swinging movement of the branches toward a position alongside of the tree trunk.
