Claims6
An artificial tree comprising an elongated trunk member supportable from a lower end to extend on a vertical axis, said trunk member having at least a tubular portion, a plurality of pairs of spaced-apart apertures in said tubular portion, said pairs of spaced-apart apertures each lying on an axis substantially coextensive to the long axis of said elongated member, a plurality of limb members each having a connector end, said connector end having engageable means constituted by a first rod section and a second rod section extending substantially transverse to said first rod section, said second rod section including an angled rod portion extending substantially in the same direction as said first rod section and terminating in an upwardly extending end portion substantially transverse to said first rod section, said first rod section being locatable in a lower one of a pair of said pairs of apertures, said angled rod portion being engageable within an uppermost aperture of a pair of said pairs of apertures whereby each said limbs can be attached and deteched from said trunk member by vertical arcuate displacement thereof.
