ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a decorative light set, and in particular to a decorative light tree set for supporting a decorative light net thereon. The decorative light tree set mainly comprises a central post, and a plurality of supporting rings with different diameter surrounding the central post, incorporating with a light net attached on the supporting rings, to form an easily assembling decorative light tree.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Decorative light strings are widely used in holidays and festivals, especially Christmas. A light string usually is composed of a plurality of bulb sockets and an electrical wire for connecting the bulb sockets. Each of the bulb sockets may receive and hold a light bulb thereon. Typically, the light bulbs arranged on the light string are electrically connected in series to form a series circuit loop. An electric plug may be provided at one end of the light string for connection with an external power source. Further, an electric socket may be connected at the other end of the light string to provide an electrical connection to another light string to form an extendible long light string.
Since the electrical wires are usually not rigid enough to support themselves in the space, usually the light strings are just simply wound around a conifer or a plastic tree. Therefore, a conventional supporting frame is commonly adapted to support and arrange the light strings into desired shapes.
The conventional supporting frame is made of rigid materials, such as metal or plastic members, forming a rigid frame. Some of the light strings supporting frames have a knockdown structure allowing a user to detach/disassemble parts thereof thereby reducing the amount of space required for storage. However, the user still needs to spend some more time to arrange the decorative light string on the supporting frame on his own.
It is thus desirable to have a light tree set having a simple structure and can be easily and conveniently assembled for overcoming the problem discussed above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a Christmas light tree having a simple structure.
The second object of the present invention is to provide a decorative light net having a tree-like configuration.
One more object of the present invention is to provide a decorative light tree set that is easily to assemble. Furthermore, the decorative light tree set is preferably composed of flexible members thereby facilitating storage thereof.
To achieve the above objects, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a Christmas light tree comprising a central post that has a plurality of sections detachably connected to each other. The central post has top and bottom ends, which the top end is attached with a top supporting ring and the bottom end is attached with a stand. A star-shape member containing bulbs therein is attached to the top supporting ring. A number of supporting rings arranged separately in the same axis with the top supporting ring. Each supporting ring has a different diameter and preferably the diameter of the supporting rings increases from the top supporting ring to the bottommost supporting ring. A wire net attached with numerous bulbs is attached and fixed on the supporting rings making the decorative light net looks like a Christmas tree.
