ABSTRACT:
An artificial decorated and lighted Christmas tree (10) which is concentrically collapsible into a shallow open-topped box for storage. When displayed, the artificial tree (10) is preferably hung from a ceiling or other overhead support. The skeleton of the tree consists of a flat disk (15), a member (16) projecting upwardly from the center of the disk (15) from which the artificial tree (10) is suspended, a cylindrical crown (24) of garland supported on the disk, (15), at least three rigid wire loops (20, 30, 40) having different diameters, and at least three flexible cords (18A, 18B, 18C, 18D, 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D, 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D) affixed to equally spaced apart edge segments of the disk (15) and to equally spaced apart segments of each one of the rigid wire loops (20, 30, 40). The skeleton of the tree is completely hidden from view by an elongated garland (26) of artificial conifer needles which may include traditional Christmas ornaments and electric lights which is wound successively around each one of the spaced apart rigid wire loops (20, 30, 40) to completely cover and hide the disk (15) and all the flexible cords (18A, 18B, 18C, 18D, 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D, 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D) and rigid wire loops (20, 30, 40) thereby creating an artificial conical Christmas tree (10).
