  • Patent number: 11365874
    Abstract: A wreath decoration system is used to enable users to mount a decorative acrylic plate to a wreath to enhance the decoration of the wreath. The system includes a first wire fastener, a second wire fastener, a support beam, a primary illumination source, a microcontroller, and a power supply system. The first wire fastener and the second wire fastener help secure the support beam to the wreath. The first wire fastener and the second wire fastener also help position the support beam behind the wreath so that the support beam is hidden behind the wreath leaves. The support beam centers the primary illumination source on the wreath. The primary illumination source illuminates any decoration positioned on the center of the wreath. The microcontroller enables the configuration of the settings of the primary illumination source. The power supply system supplies the voltage necessary to the primary illumination source and the microcontroller.

  • Patent number: 11363760
    Abstract: A wreath decoration mounting system is a system that enables the mounting, positioning, and orienting of different ornaments around a wreath's center. The system can be attached at various locations and angles along the wreath's wire frame to support the different ornaments that would otherwise be glued or wired to the wreath's wire frame. The system may include a first wire fastener, a second wire fastener, a support beam, and a support platform. The first wire fastener and the second wire fastener secure the support beam to the wreath's wire frame. The first wire fastener and the second wire fastener also help offset the support beam from the wire frame to hide the support beam behind the wreath. The support beam receives the load from the support platform and any ornament mounted onto the support platform. The support platform facilitates the mounting of the desired ornaments to the support beam.
