Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a tree-top ornament apparatus configured to present a removeably attachable ornament above a top of a tree and supporting the presented ornament by clamping an ornament-connected deformable conduit to a secure portion of a tree trunk below the top of the tree. In an illustrative embodiment, the conduit may be deformable and yet semi-rigid so as not to deform under the weight of the presented ornament. In some embodiments, a sleeve may be configured to provide an electrical signal to a light emitting device for illuminating the ornament. The sleeve may include a light emitting device within a top hollow of the sleeve. In some embodiments, the light emitting device may be configured to illuminate a clear or semi-clear ornament received in the top hollow of the sleeve. The tree-top ornament apparatus may advantageously secure a tree-top ornament to the tree trunk at a location where the trunk is strong.

Abstract: A tree top ornament with one or an array of lights, with an attachment mechanism for releasable attachment to the top branch or trunk of artificial and natural trees. The lights are connected to a sleeve designed to fit over the top vertical branch of the tree, but which is supported by a rigid conduit that clamps to the tree branch some distance below the top, so that the top of the branch does not itself bear any of the tree top ornament's weight. The user may selectively attach a variety of clear and semi clear acrylic or glass ornamental tree toppers for illumination by the lights.

Abstract: A display box for a game ball, comprising, at least three side panels, wherein each side panel is integrally connected to at least one other of the side panels along a vertical seam interposed between the connected side panels; each side panel comprising, at least one central panel and at least two end panels, wherein each end panel is integrally connected to the central panel along a horizontal seam; wherein each end panel comprises, at least one support panel and at least two corner panels; wherein each of the corner panels is integrally connected to the support panel along a transverse seam; and a method for assembling the same.
