  • Patent number: 5829863
    Abstract: A fiber optic Christmas tree is provided including a housing with a base and a trunk. The trunk has a first end fixedly coupled to the top face of the base and is extended upwardly therefrom. The trunk has a plurality of bores formed therein. Next provided is a plurality of fiber optic cables each having a first end situated within the interior space of the base and a second end extending through an associated one of the bores of the trunk. A length of each cord is such that an extent to which the fiber optic cables extend from the trunk increases from a top of the trunk to a bottom thereof. The fiber optic cables thus have a conical configuration. Each of the fiber optic cables is adapted to emit light from the second thereof upon the application of light at the first end thereof. A lamp is situated below the fiber optic cables within the interior space of the housing and adapted to apply light to the first end of each of the fiber optic cables upon the receipt of power.
