Decorative system
View Patent ↗A decorative system that provides malleable decorative rods that bend, illuminate, and extend from an electrical base to form a decorative object, such as a Christmas tree. The malleable properties of the rods provide sufficient flexibility to bend and manipulate until a desired shape and dimension is achieved. The rod comprises at least one protrusion to help enhance a desired decorative effect such as pine needles that provide the look and feel of garlands. The rod also includes at least one illumination for illuminating the system. A base portion, from which the at least one rod extends, provides power to the rod. The base portion includes a threaded metal base that joins with a matching electrical socket, similar to an Edison base screw. At least one aperture and a cover provide a foundation into which the rods may be secured.
1. A system comprising:
a base portion, said base portion being configured to provide a foundation for said system, said base portion further being configured to at least partially provide power to said system,
said base portion comprising an integrated mounting end, said mounting end being disposed to join with a power source,
said base portion further comprising an integrated neck end,
said neck end comprising an integrated cover, said cover being configured to regulate access to an interior portion of said base portion,
said cover comprising a plurality of apertures; and a plurality of rods, said plurality of rods being configured to at least partially extend from said a plurality of apertures, said plurality of rods being operable to at least partially bend, said rod plurality of rods comprising a plurality of protrusions, said plurality of protrusions being configured to provide a decorative feature,
said plurality of rods further comprising a plurality of illuminations, said illumination plurality of illuminations being operable to at least partially illuminate said rod plurality of rods;
wherein the plurality of rods are disposed such that said rods initially extend perpendicular to said cover for a few inches, then bend at a 45 degree downward to form the shape of a tree.
2. The system of claim 1 in which said system comprises a Christmas tree shape and design.
3. The system of claim 1 , in which said base portion comprises an Edison screw base.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said mounting end is operable to rotate in a first direction for urging said base portion downwardly into engagement with an electrical socket.
5. The system of claim 1 , in which said neck end comprises a perimeter ridge.
6. The system of claim 1 , in which said cover comprises a thermoset melamine material.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of rods extend from said plurality of apertures.
8. The system of claim 1 , in which said plurality of apertures comprises an insulated ring.
9. The system of claim 8 wherein said insulated ring forms a tight fit around said plurality of rods.
10. The system of claim 1 , in which said plurality of rods comprises wires.
11. The system of claim 1 , in which said plurality of rods comprise external coverings.
12. The system of claim 11 , in which said external coverings comprise a forest green color.
13. The system of claim 12 , in which said external coverings comprise polypropylene.
14. The system of claim 1 , in which said plurality of protrusions resembles a plurality of pine needles.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of pipe needles are fire proof.
16. The system of claim 1 , in which said plurality of illuminations comprise a plurality of light emitting diodes.
17. The system of claim 1 , in which said plurality of illuminations comprise a C6 and/or a C7 and/or a M6 and/or a G12 type bulb.
18. A system consisting of:
means for joining an integrated mounting end of a base portion with an electrical socket;
means for joining a plurality of rods with an integrated neck end of said base portion;
means for bending said plurality of rods to a shape of a tree; and means for illuminating a plurality of illumination portions from said plurality of rods.
19. A system consisting of:
a base portion, said base portion comprising an Edison screw base, said base portion being configured to provide a foundation for said system, said base portion further being configured to at least partially provide power to said system, said base portion comprising an integrated mounting end, said mounting end being disposed to join with a power source, said power source comprising an electrical socket, said mounting end being operable to rotate in a first direction for urging said base portion downwardly into engagement with said electrical socket, said base portion further comprising an integrated neck end, said neck end comprising an integrated cover, said cover being configured to regulate access to an interior portion of said base portion, said cover comprising a plurality of apertures, said plurality of apertures, comprising an insulated ring; and a plurality of rods, said plurality of rods comprising wires, said plurality of rods being configured to at least partially extend form said plurality of apertures, said plurality of rods being operable to at least partially bend, said plurality of rods being disposed to extend from said plurality of apertures such that said rods initially extend perpendicularly for a few inches then bend downward at a 45 degree angle to form a shape of a tree, said plurality of rods comprising a plurality of protrusions, said plurality of protrusions being configured to provide a decorative feature, said plurality of protrusions comprising a plurality of strands of garland, said plurality of rods further comprising a plurality of illuminations, said plurality of illuminations being operable to at least partially illuminate said plurality of rods, said plurality of illuminations comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes.
