  • Patent number: 5158355
    Abstract: A cluster of miniature electric lights is arranged above a rigid stake, with the electric wiring for the cluster extending below said cluster and wrapped tightly to said stake by an adhesive tape to simulate a stem for a potted flower having a stamen simulated by the cluster of lights. The floral part of the plant is formed from one or more tufted wire chenilles, each sculptured along its length to provide a series of floral parts connected by reduced diameter nodes. Alternate nodes of each chenille are arranged along a retaining wire, such that each alternate node and the pair of floral parts connected thereby form a bight with the node at its base and with the retaining wire within each bight adjacent to the base. The retaining wire is wrapped snugly around the stem adjacent to and below the light cluster to secure the alternate nodes to the stem.
