## Abstract

A collapsible cone tree has a mast having a top and a base and a plurality of legs mounted to the base. The legs are foldable upwardly toward the mast to a storage position and pivotable to unfolded state. The legs cab lock in the unfolded state. Each leg has a free end. A plurality of first flexible stringers extend between the legs' free ends and the top of the mast and a plurality of additional flexible stringers extend from between respective ones of adjacent legs to the top of the mast.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A collapsible cone tree, comprising:
a mast having a top and a base;
a plurality of legs mounted to the base, the legs foldable upwardly toward the mast to a storage position and pivotable to unfolded state, the legs lockable in the unfolded state, the legs each having a free end;
a plurality of first flexible stringers extending between the legs' free ends and the top of the mast; and
a plurality of additional flexible stringers extending from between respective ones of adjacent legs to the top of the mast.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cone tree of claim 1 further including a mount extending from adjacent ones of the legs and including a joining member, and wherein the additional flexible stringers extend from respective ones of the joining members to the top of the mast.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cone tree of claim 1 wherein the first flexible stringers and the additional flexible stringers are LED light strings.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cone tree of claim 1, wherein the first flexible stringers and the mount are attached to the legs by biasing elements.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The cone tree of claim 2, wherein the mount includes a first flexible connecting member extending one of the legs and a second flexible connecting member extending from an adjacent one of the legs, the first and second flexible connecting members joined to the joining member.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The cone tree of claim 5, wherein the first and second flexible connecting members are mounted to their respective legs spaced from the legs' free ends.

### Claim 7

A collapsible cone tree, comprising:
a mast having a top and a base;
a plurality of legs mounted to the base, the legs foldable upwardly toward the mast to a storage position and pivotable to unfolded state, the legs lockable in the unfolded state, the legs each having a free end; and
a plurality of flexible stringers extending from the legs to the top of the mast,
wherein some of the plurality of flexible stringers extend from free ends of the legs to the top of the mast, and others of the plurality of flexible stringers extend from other than the free ends of the legs to the top of the mast.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The cone tree of claim 7, wherein the plurality of flexible stringers are LED light strings.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The tree cone of claim 7, wherein the others of the plurality of flexible stringers extend from mounts extending between adjacent legs to the top of the mast.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The cone tree of claim 9, wherein the mounts are mounted to adjacent legs spaced from free ends of the legs.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The cone tree of claim 10, wherein the some of the flexible stringers are mounted to the legs by biasing elements and wherein the mounts are mounted to the legs by biasing elements.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The cone tree of claim 11, wherein the biasing elements are springs.
