Visually-distinguishable paneled skirt
View Patent ↗A visually-distinguishable paneled skirt is an apparatus that conceals undesirable objects, items, or surfaces such as a Christmas tree stand. The apparatus includes a plurality of panels and a plurality of fasteners. Each of the plurality of panels is connected to one another by the plurality of fasteners. This allows the user to interchange the plurality of panels as to best represent the current members of his or her family. Each of the plurality of panels is arranged with one another into an annular configuration. An opening allows the trunk of a Christmas tree to traverse through the apparatus. The apparatus may be converted into a tablecloth with a covering panel, which covers the opening. The circumference of the apparatus may be extended with an annular panel.

each of the plurality of panels comprising a panel body, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a concave edge and a convex edge, the plurality of fasteners being discretely distributed only along a middle section of each of the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge;
the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge being positioned opposite to each other across the panel body;
the concave edge and the convex edge being positioned opposite to each other across the panel body;
the plurality of panels being radially positioned about a central skirt axis;
the first lateral edge of each of the plurality of panels being detachably attached along the second lateral edge of an adjacent panel from the plurality of panels by the plurality of fasteners;
the plurality of panels being superimposed onto the annular panel;
a central hole of the annular panel being concentrically positioned with the convex edge for each of the plurality of panels;
the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge being straight edges;
a radial altitude of the panel body traversing along the panel body in between the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge;
the first lateral edge being oriented at a first specified acute angle with the radial altitude;
the second lateral edge being oriented at a second specified acute angle with the radial altitude; and
the first specified acute angle and the second specified acute angle jointly forming an acute angle.

the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge being positioned opposite to each other across the panel body;
the concave edge and the convex edge being positioned opposite to each other across the panel body;
the plurality of panels being radially positioned about a central skirt axis;
the first lateral edge of each of the plurality of panels being detachably attached along the second lateral edge of an adjacent panel from the plurality of panels by the plurality of fasteners;
the opening being delineated by the concave edge of each of the plurality of panels;
the plurality of panels being superimposed onto the annular panel;
a central hole of the annular panel being concentrically positioned with the convex edge for each of the plurality of panels;
the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge being straight edges;
a radial altitude of the panel body traversing along the panel body in between the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge;
the first lateral edge being oriented at a first specified acute angle with the radial altitude;
the second lateral edge being oriented at a second specified acute angle with the radial altitude; and
the first specified acute angle and the second specified acute angle jointly forming an acute angle.
6. The visually-distinguishable paneled skirt as claimed in claim 5 comprising:
the concave edge and the convex edge are concentrically positioned with each other; and
