| Abstract: |
Illuminated decorative displays utilizing fiber optics are presented. The decorative displays are in the form of Christmas season ornaments such as wreaths, Christmas trees, and outdoor lighting series. The simulation of light bulbs is achieved by transmitting light through a solid light conducting medium. In the case of the Christmas tree, a cast solid medium in the form of a coniferous branch is used. In the case of the wreath, either a solid light conductive medium cast in an annular shape, or a hollow annular chamber with perforations filled with optical fiber material is used. In the case of the lighting series, either a long case rod with protrusions, single or bundled group of optical cable is used.

We claim:
1. An illuminated decorative display in the form of a Christmas tree, including a structural housing with an enclosure wall in the form of a hollow tubular trunk of the tree, a light source extending throughout the hollow trunk, in the form of an elongated tubular light, solid light conducting members made of cast organic material each having a stem portion and branch portions cast and extending from the stem portion in such a manner that the stem portion and branch portions transmit visible light to the ends of the branch portions and the stem portion, the light conducting members forming the tree branches of the Christmas tree with the one end of the tree branch penetrating a discrete opening in the hollow tubular trunk and being in close proximity to the light source and the branches of the light conducting member being in the form of evergreen needles extending from the stem of the tree branch such that light is emitted at the end of the stem and at the end of the needles of the tree branch.
