View Patent ↗The present invention is an artificial tree consisting of a shape such as conical wherein there is an artificial outer layer, e.g. artificial grass, a solidified foam core, and a post molded into the foam core.
1. A method of making an artificial tree comprising:
a) cutting and joining a woven outer layer into a predetermined shape;
b) placing a cut and joined woven outer layer inside a tube or post sufficiently strong to hold the tree upright;
c) adding uncured foam designed for solidification expansion to an inside of the woven outer layer;
d) positioning the post or tube centered in the uncured foam and holding it in place;
e) curing the uncured foam to create a solidified expanded foam core with the post or tube sticking out a bottom; and
f) removing the artificial tree from the mold.
2. The method of making the artificial tree according to claim 1 wherein a piece of woven outer layer material is positioned on a top of the solidified expanded foam core.
3. The method of making the artificial tree according to claim 1 wherein the post or tube is positioned using a jig which holds the rigid post or tube in place during curing of the foam.
