Disclosed is an artificial tree having a plurality of electrified tree sections that couple together to provide power and/or command signals to devices connected thereto. One or more tree sections may have a trunk portion, one or more electrical connectors having a plurality of terminals, branches, a light string, and an electrical distribution system located at least partially within the trunk portion. A first tree section may be configured to couple to a second tree section such that an electrical connector of the first tree section is in electrical connection with an electrical connector of the second tree section, thereby mechanically and electrically connecting the first tree section to the second tree section such that power and/or the control data are transmitted to the second tree section. Further, each trunk segment may include an axial electrical connector that permits adjacent trunk segments to connect in a plurality of radial orientations relative to each other.

An illuminable decoration comprises at least two trunk sections, each trunk section includes a hollow tube and a cable assembly coupled to each trunk section. Each cable assembly comprises a first modular electrical connector end that has an inner socket and an outer plug that circumscribes the inner socket. Further, each cable assembly comprises a second modular electrical connector end that has an inner plug and an outer socket that circumscribes the inner plug. A first electrical wire electrically couples between the inner socket of the first modular electrical connector and the inner plug of the second modular electrical connector. Also, a second electrical wire electrically couples between the outer plug of the first modular electrical connector and the outer socket of the second modular electrical connector. When two trunk sections are assembled together end-to-end, the trunk sections are mechanically and electrically coupled to form a modular electrical distribution system.

A no wrap strap for a string of decorative lights including a plurality of apertures within a main body and a plurality of pairs of hanging hooks extending from the main body, with each pair of hanging hooks being disposed near a corresponding aperture. The no wrap strap further includes a securing element integrally attached to and extending from one end of the main body, the securing element including a plurality of securing balls arranged along a securing string.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to an artificial tree including a trunk with first tree branches extending from the trunk to above the floor, a base configured with apertures adapted to retain second tree branches extending from the base and covering the space between the floor and the first branches, and a light source configured to illuminate the first and second branches. In an illustrative example, the apertures may be tubes configured for fiber optics. The light source may be, for example, fiber optics illuminating branches inserted in the tubes, permitting full-flow appearance branches to spread out, covering the base. Some examples may employ additional illumination sources configured in the base below the apertures to shine through a color wheel offset from the trunk center.

The present disclosure relates to the field of light-emitting decorative craft, and in particular, to a Christmas tree connecting rod assembly. A branch connecting rod is assembled with a branch mounting rod, and a first connecting contact assembly is electrically connected to a second connecting contact assembly. Therefore, the entire connecting rod assembly achieves circuit communication through the first connecting contact assembly and the second connecting contact assembly. In addition, all wires are routed internally, so that electrical wires are prevented from being directly arranged on the trunk of a Christmas tree, making the Christmas tree decoration more beautiful.

An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a lighting component, an energy storage assembly electrically connected to the lighting component, and a housing. The energy storage assembly is a Graphene stack battery that includes a Graphene strip. The energy storage assembly is disposed on or in the housing. The lighting component is disposed on or in the housing. The Graphene strip is a folded Graphene strip with a folded serpentine shape having intervening insulation strips disposed between a plurality of folded Graphene strip portions with leads at the two ends of the Graphene strip.

A method is disclosed. The method includes providing an interactive device having at least one of a display screen and an audio component, pairing the interactive device with a user device, transferring data to the interactive device, and displaying images via the display screen or emitting sound via the audio component based on the transferred data. The interactive device is a non-transmitting device.
