Abstract
An artificial foliage structure with wire cores embedded in its leafy parts causing these parts to “spring back” upon removal of compressive loading acting thereupon. These wire cores may be made of hard, springy steel such as piano wire or small diameter spring wire. Thicker, woody limbs and branches have embedded therein heavier wire cores that are sufficiently soft to be given a set solely by manually applied bending force.
Claims (2)
1. A naturally appearing artificial foliage structure including woody and leafy constituant parts made of plastic material encasing therein a skeletal framework of embedded steel wires, wherein:
the hardness of the wires embedded in the leafy parts exceeds the hardness of the wires embedded in the woody parts.
