Hanging Ornamental Christmas Tree with a Hollow Interior

Abstract

Provided is an ornamental Christmas tree with a hollow interior that is adapted to be suspended from a support. The device includes a cording system attached to a base board. The cording system includes a plurality of elongated cords threaded halfway through a ring support and one or more wraparound cords. The elongated cords are supported by a ring support, such that the cords angle outward therefrom and towards the base to form a conical representation of a Christmas tree with an open interior. Wraparound cords are positioned around the outer perimeter of the device in a spiral or multiple ring configuration. In a suspended state, the ring support is hooked onto an overhead support. A user can decorate the device as the user would normally decorate a Christmas tree and fill the interior of the simulated tree with holiday decorations or presents.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An ornamental tree adapted for storage in a suspended state, comprising:
 a base board having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter edge;   a cording system comprising a plurality of elongated cords having a first and a second end and at least one wraparound cord;   a ring support adapted to be securable to an overhead attachment;   said ring support supporting said plurality of elongated cords at their substantial midpoint between said first and second end, said ring support forming a common point;   said first and second end of each elongated cord being secured to opposite ends of said base board in close proximity to said perimeter, wherein said plurality of elongated cords define a hollow conical structure between said common point and said base board when in a suspended state; and   said wraparound cord positioned around said plurality of elongated cords and on the outside of said hollow conical structure.   
     
     
         2 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein:
 said at least one wraparound cord comprises a wraparound cord having a first end and a second end forming a spiral shape between said ring support and said base board;   said first end of said wraparound cord being secured to said ring support, said wraparound cord being disposed on the outside of said conical in a downward spiral, and said second end of said wraparound cord being secured to said base board in proximity to said perimeter edge.   
     
     
         3 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein:
 said at least one wraparound cord comprises a plurality of loops substantially parallel to said base board and having of different diameters arranged in increasing diameter from said ring support to said base board.   
     
     
         4 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , further comprising a string of lights wrapped around said outer perimeter. 
     
     
         5 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein said elongated cords and said at least one wraparound cord further comprise a plurality of individual stands of rope knotted at intervals. 
     
     
         6 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second end of said elongated cords are heat sealed. 
     
     
         7 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second end of said elongated cords are bound in a knot. 
     
     
         8 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second end of said elongated cords are secured to said base board upper surface. 
     
     
         9 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second end of said elongated cords are secured to said base board lower surface. 
     
     
         10 . The ornamental tree of  claim 1 , wherein:
 said base board further comprises a plurality of apertures adjacent to said board perimeter edge;   wherein said first and second end of said elongated cords are knotted below said apertures of said base board.
