Abstract

See full text

An artificial lighted tree is presented with power routed through the trunk of the tree and three-wire safety grounding. The tree is divided into sections for easy assembly, disassembly, and storage. The base of the tree is grounded through a three-prong safety grounded electrical cord and each section of the tree makes a ground connection with the base section as it is assembled to the artificial lighted tree. Electrical connections to power the lights may be made outside the trunk of the tree or through electrical connections within the tree.
