Abstract
The present disclosure discloses an apparatus for suspending decorative lights. The apparatus comprises an elongated tube structure that can be coupled to a window, door or other fixtures in a building with one or more removable pivoting connector mounts. The elongated tube structure comprises individual lights or a net of lights. The lights are coupled to the elongated tube structure via openings provided in the elongated tube structure. The elongated tube structure comprises a wire within the structure to draw power for lighting the lights.
Claims20
Apparatus for suspending lights comprising:
- an elongated light tube having a removable connector at each end thereof to allow for extensions of said light tube;
- an electric wire extending through said light tube and said connectors for connecting to adjacent light tubes and/or a power source;
- a plurality of spaced openings formed along a length of said light tube;
- light generating sources extending out of said spaced openings, each light source having a clip connecting to said electric wire for drawing power, said light sources being suspended from said light tube;
- whereby said removable connectors are removable and said wire retracted into said light tube for storage;
- said elongated light tube being connectable by at least one removable pivoting connector mount to a surface extending in a plane parallel to an axis of said elongated light tube or to a surface extending in a plane not parallel to an axis of said elongated light tube.

Apparatus for suspending display lights from a vertical surface comprising, in combination:
- an elongated light tube having a removable connector at each end thereof to allow for extensions of said light tube;
- an electric wire extending through said light tube and said connectors for connecting to adjacent light tubes and/or a power source;
- a plurality of spaced openings formed along a length of said light tube;
- light generating sources extending out of said spaced openings, each light source having a clip connecting to said electric wire for drawing power, said light sources being suspended from said light tube;
- at least one removable pivoting connector mount attached to said light tube for adhesively connecting said light tube to said vertical surface;
- and
- whereby said at least one removable connector is removable and said wire retracted into said light tube for storage away from said vertical surface;
- said elongated light tube being connectable by said at least one removable pivoting connector mount to said vertical surface, wherein said vertical surface is a surface extending in a plane parallel to an axis of said elongated light tube or wherein said vertical surface is a surface extending in a plane not parallel to an axis of said elongated light tube.

A method of constructing and using a light tube for displaying lights comprising the steps of:
- providing an elongated light tube having a removable connector at each end thereof to allow for extensions of said light tube;
- extending an electric wire through said light tube and using said connectors to connect said electric wire to adjacent light tubes and/or a power source;
- providing a plurality of spaced openings along a length of said light tube;
- suspending light generating extending sources out of said spaced openings, using a clip to connect each light source to said electric wire for drawing power, said light sources thereby being suspended from said light tube;
- using one or more removable pivoting connector mounts attached to said light tube for adhesively connecting said light tube to said vertical surface;
- connecting said elongated light tube by said one or more removable pivoting connector mounts to said vertical surface, wherein said vertical surface is a surface extending in a plane parallel to an axis of said elongated light tube or wherein said vertical surface is a surface extending in a plane not parallel to an axis of said elongated light tube;
- said removable pivoting connector mount having at least one removable adhesive layer strip;
- and
- removing said one or more removable pivoting connector mounts from said vertical surface and said connectors from ends of said light tube, followed by retracting said wire into said light tube for storage away from said vertical surface.
