  • Publication number: 20020080608
    Abstract: A decorative ornament bearing the shape and structure of a typical candy cane is disclosed. The ornamental cane has a multiple of holes that pass completely through and are spaced somewhat uniformly along its length. The size and spacing of these holes are to permit the insertion of small incandescent light bulbs. The candy cane ornament will consist of two separate colors in the form of two spiraling stripes from one end to the other. These two colors are typically red and white. The overall concept is the illumination of the candy cane by a single downward strand of lights found on the typical icicle light set. The longest strand equipped with the most bulbs is to be used in with the candy cane. Each of the light bulbs will be inserted through the holes and will project out the other side, providing illumination. It is recommended that colored light bulbs (red) be substituted for clear light bulbs when they are to be located in a hole that extends through a colored (red) stripe.

The candy cane ornament consists of two separate colors in the form of two spiraling stripes. The overall concept is the illumination of the candy cane by a single downward strand of lights found on the typical icicle light set. Each of the light bulbs is inserted through the holes and projects out the other side, providing illumination. The order in which the light bulbs are attached allows the cane to be displayed in an upright position. The candy cane is permitted to suspend freely just as the adjacent downward strands of lights. Multiple quantities of candy cane ornaments may be attached to the icicle light set at various intervals.
