Ornamental support for Christmas tree and the like

Abstract

An improved, ornamental, decorative structure such as a Christmas tree or the like in which the structure has a decorative device mounted above a floor in cantilever fashion. Thus, the decorative device, is, in effect, cantilevered above the floor and uses a center portion of the structure as the main support, thus avoiding the need for additional support beneath the device and on a floor therebelow. The device itself can be a ring which can support another object, such as a continuous track over which a train can be movable, either under manual power or by electrical power supplied to the track by an electrical transformer on the floor adjacent to the ornamental structure. The train will have an engine provided with an electrical motor which will drive the train along at an elevated position. Thus, the device will provide a display which will provide enjoyment and amusement for young and old alike. The operation of the train and other still or moving parts associated with the elevated device will be seen from a location near the structures and will present no hazards which might otherwise detract from the aesthetic and safety aspects of the device as well as the ease with which the elements mount the device on a center portion of the Christmas tree or the like.
