Abstract

The artificial floral assembly with illumination comprises a stem backbone, electrical light fixture wiring, a flower bloom, and a leaf structure as well as an optional stem interface. The stem backbone may have wire, electrical wiring, polyethylene sheet material, cloth reinforced adhesive tape, caulking, and fabric. The flower bloom may have wire rings joined together at a center point, fabric covering the wire rings, and strands of wire dangling from the center point. The wire rings may be attached to a metal collar which slides over the top of the stem backbone/light fixture.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An artificial floral assembly comprising 
 (a) a stem backbone comprising wire, polyethylene sheet material, cloth reinforced adhesive tape, caulking, and fabric, and    (b) a flower bloom comprising a plurality of loops of wire, the wire loops joined together at a center point, fabric covering the wire loops, and strands of wire dangling from the center point, the dangling wire strands connected to the stem backbone.    
   
   
       2 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 1  wherein the fabric of the stem backbone comprises chenille fabric and the fabric of the flower bloom comprises closed end stretch nylon tube material.  
   
   
       3 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 1 , further comprising a leaf structure comprising fabric, adhesive material, and wires, the wires connected to the center point of the flower bloom.  
   
   
       4 . An artificial floral assembly comprising 
 (a) a flower bloom comprising a plurality of wire rings, end sections of wire protruding from the wire rings, the end sections of wire twisted together into a strand of wire, a center point of the end sections of wire twisted together, fabric covering the wire rings, and a knot of fabric in the center point,    (b) a leaf structure comprising fabric and wires, the wires twisted together,    (c) means for connecting the strand of wire of the flower bloom to the twisted wires of the leaf,    (d) a stem backbone comprising wire, adhesive material, plastic material, tape, and fabric,    (e) means for connecting the stem backbone to the strand of wire of the flower bloom, and    (f) means for connecting the stem backbone to the twisted wires of the leaf.    
   
   
       5 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 4  wherein the 
 (a) the adhesive material of the stem backbone is caulking,    (b) the tape of the stem backbone is cloth reinforced adhesive tape, and    (c) the fabric of the stem backbone is chenille fabric.    
   
   
       6 . A process for producing an artificial floral assembly, the process steps comprising 
 (a) making a leaf structure, the steps of making the leaf structure comprising 
 1. creating a wire frame of two pieces of wire,  
 2. cutting a strip of a first fabric, comprising a first section and a second section,  
 3. streaming adhesive material onto the first section of the first fabric,  
 4. aligning the wire frames along the first section of the first fabric,  
 5. folding the second section of the first fabric over the first section of the first fabric,  
 6. letting the first fabric set for 1 to 24 hours, and  
 7. cutting the first fabric into shapes of leaves with exposed wires;  
   (b) making a leaf subassembly, the steps of making the leaf subassembly comprising 
 1. taking a plurality of leaves with exposed wire and twisting sections of exposed wire,  
 2. wrapping a second fabric around twisted sections of exposed wire,  
 3. spreading the adhesive material over the second fabric covering twisted sections of exposed wire,  
 4. wrapping a third fabric over the adhesive material, and  
 5. letting the leaf structure set for 1 to 24 hours;  
   (c) making a flower bloom, the steps of making the flower bloom comprising 
 1. forming a plurality of rings of wire, with a center point connecting the rings, and with dangling wire strands falling below the center point,  
 2. separating the plurality of rings of wire so that each of the wire rings is positioned around the center point,  
 3. covering each of the wire rings with a fourth fabric, the fourth fabric having an end area,  
 4. connecting the end areas of the fourth fabric covering each of the wire rings, and  
 5. painting the fourth fabric; and  
   (d) making a stem backbone, the steps comprising 
 1. cutting wire into segments, the segments comprising many locations,  
 2. wrapping a flower bloom around one location of the wire segment,  
 3. wrapping a leaf around a second location of the wire segment,  
 4. wrapping plastic material around the wire segment,  
 5. wrapping tape around the plastic material covering the wire segment,  
 6. placing the adhesive material over the tape along the wire segment,  
 7. wrapping a fifth fabric over the adhesive material, and  
 8. letting the wire segment set for 1 to 24 hours.  
   
   
   
       7 . A process as in  claim 6 , wherein the adhesive material is caulking.  
   
   
       8 . A process as in  claim 6 , wherein the tape is cloth reinforced adhesive tape.  
   
   
       9 . A process as in  claim 6 , wherein the fourth fabric covering the wire rings is a closed end stretch nylon tube material.  
   
   
       10 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 1  wherein the stem backbone further comprises electrical wiring, the electrical wiring attached to a section of the wire.  
   
   
       11 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 10  wherein the stem backbone further comprises a wall plug, the wall plug attached to a section of the electrical wiring.  
   
   
       12 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 11  wherein the stem backbone further comprises a lampholder further comprising a lampholder base, lampholder extension, and outer casing, the lampholder connected to the electrical wiring.  
   
   
       13 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 1  further comprising a mount, the mount comprising a tab, wherein the dangling wire strands are connected to the tab.  
   
   
       14 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 1  further comprising a mount, the mount comprising a circumference, wherein the dangling wire strands are wound around the circumference of the mount.  
   
   
       15 . An artificial floral assembly as in  claim 14  further comprising caulking and fabric, the caulking placed over the wire strands and the fabric placed over the caulking.
