Patent ID: 7052156

Claim:
A combination artificial tree-lighting arrangement, said combination being connectable to an electrical power source for providing an illuminated decoration, said combination comprising: a generally elongated tree trunk, said tree trunk defining a trunk longitudinal axis; at least one connecting component, said connecting component being mountable on said tree trunk; at least one display component mountable on said connecting component, said display component having at least one tree limb extending therefrom, said display component also having at least one lighting cable extending therefrom, said lighting cable being supportable by said tree limb and being provided with at least one decorative light; an electrical circuitry connectable to said electrical power source, said electrical circuitry being attachable to said connecting component, said electrical circuitry including a connecting component-to-light coupling means for electrically coupling said connecting component to said decorative light, said connecting component-to-light coupling means allowing said display component to rotate relative to said connecting component about a rotation axis substantially parallel to said trunk longitudinal axis while maintaining the electrical coupling between said connecting component and said decorative light.
