  • Artificial leaf decorations and method of forming same
    Patent number: 6093459
    Abstract: Artificial trees and wreathes are constructed from a plurality of artificial leaves having shape memory characteristics. The leaves are constructed from twisted wires of plastic material which capture elongated strips providing the thistles for the leaves. The shape memory characteristics enable the leaves to return to their original orientation after being distorted from storage in a carton either during shipping or between use.
