The disclosure relates to tree power source device and more particularly pertains to a new tree power source device for inserting a plurality of universal serial bus inputs.
The prior art relates to tree power source devices. The prior art relates to a variety of tree power source devices having a plurality of inputs configured for coupling to light emitting diodes. Known prior art lacks a tree power source device having a plurality of universal serial bus ports configured for coupling to a universal serial bus input of a decorative ornament.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a tree configured for being displayed as a holiday decoration. The tree has a trunk made of plastic material. A plurality of branches protrudes off from the trunk. Each of the branches is an electric wire having a plurality of plastic pine leaves. The tree has a bottom base, and a power source is positioned proximate to the bottom base of the tree. The power source is a battery. Furthermore, a plurality of universal serial buses is coupled to the electric wire of each of the branches of the tree. Each of the universal serial buses has a port, wherein the port is a female insert to a universal serial bus input. Each ornament of a plurality of ornaments has a universal serial bus input. The universal serial bus input of each of the ornaments is a male insert to the port of the universal serial bus of the tree.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A power source 28 is positioned proximate to the bottom base 24 of the tree 12. The power source 28 is a battery 30, and the battery 30 has a power cord 32. The power cord 32 protrudes out from the battery 30, and the power cord 32 has a male power plug 34. The male power plug 34 of the power cord 32 is configured for inserting into a power outlet 36 wherein accumulating electricity to the battery 30. An electric cord 38 protrudes out from the battery 30 into the interior 22 of the trunk 14 of the tree 12. The electric cord 38 is configured for being a conduit for electricity from the battery 30. Furthermore, a switch 40 is in electric communication with the electric cord 38 from the power source 28. The switch 40 is an actuator for starting and stopping the flow of electricity from the power source 28.
A plurality of universal serial buses 42 is coupled to the electric wire 20 of each of the branches 16 of the tree 12. Each of the universal serial buses 42 has a port 44. The port 44 is a female insert to a universal serial bus input 48. Furthermore, each ornament 46 of a plurality of ornaments 46 has the universal serial bus input 48. The universal serial bus input 48 of each of the ornaments 46 is a male insert to the port 44 of each of the universal serial buses 42 of the tree 12.
Each of the ornaments 46 has a light emitting diode 50. The light emitting diode 50 is in electric communication with the universal serial bus input 48 of each of the ornaments 46. The light emitting diode 50 is positioned in an orb 52, wherein the orb 52 of each of the ornaments 46 is configured for being decorativable. The orb 52 of each of the ornaments 46 is configured for having a holiday decoration such as Christmas.
An alternate embodiment 54 of the plurality of ornaments 46 including each of the ornaments 46 lacking the light emitting diode 50 and has a fan 56 as a replacement. The fan 56 is in electric communication with the universal serial bus input 48 of each of the ornaments 46. The fan 56 is configured for blowing a plurality of fake snow 58 within the orb 52 of each of the ornaments 46, wherein displaying a scene of falling snow within the ornament 46.
In use, the male power plug 34 is inserted into a power outlet 36 to provide electricity to the battery 30. The electric cord 38 from the battery 30 provides power to each of the universal serial buses 42 of each of the branches 16 of the tree 12. The user can insert the universal serial bus input 48 of each of the ornaments 46 into a respective one of the port 44 of each of the universal serial buses 42 of the tree 12. When the switch 40 is engaged with to turn on the electric current, each of the ornaments 46 will emit light through the orb 52. Alternatively, a plurality of ornaments 46 having a fan 56 rather than the light emitting diode 50 can blow the plurality of fake snow 58 within the orb 52 to depict a scene of falling snow.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
