Abstract
Three equal length sections of cord on which lights are mounted have three continuous length portions having different lengths which are arranged to bridge three spans of equal length. The spans are shorter than each of the three length portions. Each length section has its respective three length portions sequenced differently than the three length portions of the other two length sections so that the length portions bridging each span sag to three different levels. Attachments are provided at the ends of the spans.
Claims12
A lighting display assembly comprising:
- three light string sections having a cord with light units mounted thereon at regular intervals in the light string sections;
- attachments at the beginning and end of each of three end-on-end spans of about equal length;
- each of said string sections containing a length section having a length which is the sum of the lengths of three length portions each having a length different from the length of each of the other length portions, at least two of said length portions having a length greater than said spans;
- the end-to-end order of said length portions in each of said length sections being different from the end-to-end order of the length portions in each of the other length sections;
- each of said length sections bridging each of said spans by a respective one of its three length portions such that each span is bridged by three length portions of different lengths from different ones of said length sections;
- and
- each of said length portions being retained at its ends by respective ones of said attachments, whereby each of said spans is bridged by three length portions having their centers at three different levels.

A lighting display assembly comprising:
- three length sections of cord of about equal length having a series of light units mounted thereon, each of said length sections including three length portions having three different lengths and adapted to bridge three spans of about equal length which is less than the length of each of said length portions;
- each of said three length sections having its respective three length portions sequences end-to-end differently than the three length portions of the other two length sections, whereby the three length portions bridging each span are from different of said length sections and sag to three different levels;
- and
- attachments at the ends of said spans for holding end portions of the three length sections.

A lighting display assembly comprising:
- length sections of cord of about equal length having a series of light units mounted thereon, each of said length sections including the same number of length portions having different lengths, said length portions being arranged to bridge multiple spans of about equal length which is less than the length of each of said length portions;
- each of said length sections having its length portions sequenced end-to-end differently than each of the other length sections so that the length portions bridging each span are from different of said length sections and sag to different levels;
- and
- support units at the ends of said length sections.
