Abstract:
A power transfer system to facilitate the transfer of electrical power between tree trunk sections of an artificial tree is disclosed. The power transfer system can advantageously enable neighboring tree trunk sections to be electrically connected without the need to rotationally align the tree trunk sections. Power distribution subsystems can be disposed within the trunk sections. The power distribution subsystems can comprise a male end, a female end, or both. The male ends can have prongs and the female ends can have voids. The prongs can be inserted into the voids to electrically connect the power distribution subsystems of neighboring tree trunk sections. In some embodiments, the prongs and voids are designed so that the prongs of one power distribution subsystem can engage the voids of another power distribution subsystem without the need to rotationally align the tree trunk sections.

Claim (Index 11):
A lighted artificial tree, comprising:\n a first tree portion, including:\n a first trunk portion; \n a first power distribution subsection; and \n a first electrical connector, the first power distribution subsection and first electrical connector housed at least in part within the first trunk portion, the first electrical connector including:\n a first electrical contact set, the first electrical contact set in electrical connection with the first power distribution subsection; and \n a first plurality of teeth, the first plurality of teeth electrically isolated from the first electrical contact set; and \n \n a second tree portion, including:\n a second trunk portion; \n a second power distribution subsection; and \n a second electrical connector, the second power distribution subsection and second electrical connector housed at least in part within the second trunk portion, the second electrical connector including:\n a second electrical contact set, the second electrical contact set in electrical connection with the second power distribution subsection; and \n a second plurality of teeth, \n \n wherein the first tree portion is configured to couple to the second tree portion such that the first electrical contact set and the second electrical contact set form an electrical connection and the second plurality of teeth receive the first plurality of teeth, thereby electrically connecting the first power distribution subsection to the second power distribution subsection and mechanically coupling the first tree portion to the second tree portion such that rotation of the first tree portion about an axis of the lighted artificial tree with respect to the second tree portion and rotation of the second tree portion about the axis of the lighted artificial tree with respect to the first tree portion are substantially prohibited.
