Multi-wire quick assemble tree

An artificial tree comprising:

• a plurality of tree trunk sections;
• a male end of a first trunk section of the plurality of tree trunk sections, the male end comprising a central prong disposed in a substantially circular male end cylinder, a first channel prong, a second channel prong, and a third channel prong, the first and the second channel prongs disposed along an outer surface of the substantially circular male end cylinder, and the third channel prong disposed along an inner surface of the substantially circular male end cylinder, the central prong and the first, second, and third channel prongs configured to conduct electricity;
• and
• a female end of a second trunk section of the plurality of tree trunk sections, the female end comprising:
• a substantially circular outer wall (i) comprising an interior surface and (ii) defining a perimeter of a channel void, the channel void being substantially circular;
• a substantially circular female end base extension disposed proximate the channel void's center, the female end base extension defining a central void, the female end base extension comprising an outer surface;
• a first, a second, and a third channel contact device disposed at least partially within the channel void, the first, second, and third channel contact devices configured to conduct electricity;
• and
• a central contact device disposed at least partially within the central void, the central contact device configured to conduct electricity,
• wherein the central prong is configured to engage the central contact device, the first channel prong is configured to engage the first channel contact device, and the second and third channel prongs are configured to engage the second and third channel devices to conduct electricity between the male end of the first trunk section and the female end of the second trunk section, and
• wherein the first trunk section comprises an inner sleeve proximate the male end of the first trunk section and the second trunk section comprises an outer sleeve proximate the female end of the second trunk section, the inner sleeve configured to engage the outer sleeve.

An artificial Christmas tree comprising:

• a first tree trunk section having:
• a male end, the male end comprising a central prong disposed in a substantially circular male end cylinder, a first channel prong, a second channel prong, and a third channel prong, the first and the second channel prongs disposed along an outer surface of the substantially circular male end cylinder, and the third channel prong disposed along an inner surface of the substantially circular male end cylinder, the central prong and the first, second, and third channel prongs configured to conduct electricity;
• a plurality of distinct, radially extending clutch elements, each radially extending clutch element having a height and a surface extending downward at an angle from the height, the radially extending clutch elements restricting the first tree trunk section from rotating with respect to a second tree trunk section, the second tree trunk section having:
• a female end of the second tree trunk section, the female end comprising:
• a substantially circular outer wall having an interior surface, the outer wall defining a perimeter of a substantially circular channel void;
• a substantially circular female end base extension disposed proximate the substantially circular channel void's center, the female end base extension defining a central void and having an outer surface;
• a first channel contact device configured in a ring shape and substantially abutting the outer surface of the female end base extension;
• second and third channel contact devices substantially abutting the interior surface of the outer wall, the first, second, and third channel contact devices configured to conduct electricity;
• and
• a central contact device disposed at least partially within the central void, the central contact device and the first, second, and third channel contact devices configured to conduct electricity;
• and
• a second plurality of distinct, radially extending clutch elements, each radially extending clutch element having a height and a surface extending downward at an angle from the height, the radially extending clutch elements restricting the firsttree trunk section from rotating with respect to the second tree trunk section,
• wherein the central prong is configured to engage the central contact device, the first channel prong is configured to engage the first channel contact device, and the second and third channel prongs are configured to engage the second and third channel contact device to conduct electricity between the male end of the first tree trunk section and the female end of the second tree trunk section.
