ABSTRACT:
A telescoping, outdoor, lighted, Christmas tree exhibit, which at night will simulate a lighted Christmas tree. The Christmas tree exhibit comprises a plurality of concentric hoops, populated with Christmas lights. The hoops are each of decreasing diameter that are sequentially interconnected by a plurality of concentric non stretching, flexible plastic bands, each hoop decreasing in size at the same rate as the hoop before it, with the largest-diameter hoop at the bottom of the Christmas tree exhibit and the smallest-diameter hoop at the top of the Christmas tree exhibit, when fully extended, a conical, tree-shaped appearance is obtained. Preceding the uppermost hoop is a top disk that is connected to the top end of the non stretching, flexible plastic bands. The top disk is supported by an adjustable, collapsible center pole. The bottom end of the non stretching, flexible plastic bands are anchored at the bottom of Christmas tree exhibit, so that when the non stretching, flexible plastic bands are fully extended and pulled taut, the hoops of the tree are completely suspended off the ground and the Christmas tree is standing. The tree is light weight and wind resistant. When disassembled, the hoops rest one inside the other, not touching each other, allowing the lights to stay attached to the hoops while in storage and preventing the breakage of bulbs and entangling of lights, resulting in a quick pop-up installation, and quick disassembly with minimal storage space required.
