Tree Topper with Trunk Attachable Deformable Conduit

摘要

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a tree-top ornament apparatus configured to present a removeably attachable ornament above a top of a tree and supporting the presented ornament by clamping an ornament-connected deformable conduit to a secure portion of a tree trunk below the top of the tree. In an illustrative embodiment, the conduit may be deformable and yet semi-rigid so as not to deform under the weight of the presented ornament. In some embodiments, a sleeve may be configured to provide an electrical signal to a light emitting device for illuminating the ornament. The sleeve may include a light emitting device within a top hollow of the sleeve. In some embodiments, the light emitting device may be configured to illuminate a clear or semi-clear ornament received in the top hollow of the sleeve. The tree-top ornament apparatus may advantageously secure a tree-top ornament to the tree trunk at a location where the trunk is strong.

主权项

1. An illuminated tree top ornament apparatus comprising:
an ornament configured to be illuminated by at least one light; an ornament sleeve configured to attach to the ornament, the ornament sleeve configured to provide an electrical signal to the at least one light; a conduit having an upper end connected to the ornament sleeve; and, a clamp connected to the conduit and configured to connect to a top vertical tree branch at a predetermined distance below a top of the top vertical tree branch so as to present the ornament, when attached to the ornament sleeve, above the top of the top vertical branch, wherein the conduit is configured such that, when the clamp is connected to the top vertical tree branch at the predetermined distance below the top of the top vertical branch, the top of the top vertical tree branch does not bear any of the weight of the ornament, the at least one light, and the ornament sleeve.
