Abstract

The trunks and/or branches of a decoration tree are made of “metal mesh/insulation/metal mesh” sandwiched structure. Ornamental articles are configured to be easily and rapidly inserted into the sandwiched structure to decorate the decoration tree. The two metal meshes are each coupled to one of the two electrodes of an electric power supply. The coaxial pin of each ornamental article is made coaxial to couple to the two metal meshes respectively, so that the ornamental article shines when it has been inserted in the trunks or branches of the tree.

Claims (9)

1. A decoration tree, comprising:

a sandwiched structure comprising a first metal mesh, an insulation layer, and a second metal mesh as a material of the trunk or branches of the decoration tree; wherein said insulation layer is between and insulates said first metal mesh and said second metal mesh.

2. A decoration tree as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

at least an ornamental article, having a stem for insertion into said sandwiched structure; and

a light emitting diode embedded in said ornamental article, and having two electrodes.

3. A decoration tree as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said stem is a coaxial plug of a first electrode and second electrode, said first electrode and second electrode coupling to said two electrodes of said diode, respectively.

4. A decoration tree as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said first metal mesh coupling to said first electrode, and said second metal mesh coupling to said second electrode when said ornamental article is inserted in said sandwiched structure.

5. A decoration tree as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising: a bump on the stem between said first electrode and said second electrode for positioning and holding said stem in the inserted state.

6. A decoration tree as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said insulation layer is made from a material selected from the group consisted of foam, sponge, plastic, rubber, and styrofoam.
