ABSTRACT:
A deflector for artificial snow upwardly discharged from the upper end of a delivery tube which extends along substantially the entire length of the trunk of a tree. A blower is positioned at the base of the tree within a catch basin containing and recollecting artificial snow which is fed by gravity to the blower inlet. The blower outlet supplies artificial snow into the lower end of the delivery conduit. A deflector includes upper and lower dome-shaped discs connected in spaced apart relation to form a downwardly disposed artificial snow discharge slot therebetween. An artificial snow dispersing element connectable to the upper end of the delivery conduit is itself connected to the upper disc and downwardly extends through a central snow discharge aperture in the lower disc. By this arrangement, artificial snow is uniformly dispersed to fall over the tree from the discharge slot and the discharge aperture.
