ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an ornamental decorative article in the form of a star especially suitable for use as a Christmas decoration and more particularly relates to a star within a star ornamental decorative article.
There are a number of decorative display devices used in homes and businesses in celebration of the Christmas season. Some of the most popular displays used are decorative five-pointed star articles. These five-pointed stars may include lighting fixtures therein wherein the lights are arranged in a five-pointed star configuration thereby making these decorative stars useable indoors and outdoors and, particularly useful at night. Since these star-like decorations are only used during the Christmas season they are generally placed in storage during the remaining portion of the year. However, many of these display articles are quite bulky and therefore occupy or take up a considerable amount of space in storage. Moreover, many of these star like devices, if left in their star like configuration, may be damaged if not packed carefully. And, such packing is not generally easy because of the size and odd shape of the star shaped ornament.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an ornamental decoration of a five-pointed star shaped configuration.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an ornamental decoration of a five-pointed star-shaped design within a five-star pointed shaped decorative article.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a five-pointed star-shaped configured ornamental decoration which is easily storable when not in use.
It is even a further object of the present invention to provide a five-pointed star-shaped configured decorative article which is formed of ten symmetrical identically-shaped trapezoidal configured elongated members.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a five pointed star-shaped ornamental decoration with illuminated devices therein.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide an improved five pointed star-shaped ornamental decoration which involves relatively few parts, which is easy to install, economical to operate, and takes up relatively little storage space.
More particularly, the present invention provides a five pointed star shaped decoration which is made up of ten symmetrical elongated longitudinally extending members of trapezoidal configuration. Each of the elongated members is provided with parallel sides and opposed first and second terminating ends wherein the inner angles of the first and second ends to a common side is a totality of 108 degrees. Each of the first ends of the elongated members is attached to a corresponding first end of an another elongated member and each of the second ends is attached to a second end of another elongated terminating member whereby the connecting of the ten elongated members forms a five-pointed star.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and from the accompanying drawings.
