Primary Examiner: Epstein; Henry F.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Litman; Richard C.

Disclosed is a Christmas tree ornament formed of three transparent plastic parts, a top member, a bottom member and an internal member. Photographs and messages may be mounted on the internal member, the internal member and the top member being attached to the bottom member by suitable attachment means including mating pins and apertures, adhesives and mating lips, depressions and rims. The top member may be configured as a cone, a cylindrical barrel or a portion of a sphere. The internal member is generally pyramid-shaped, providing three large triangular portions for supporting photographs and three separating panels on which messages may be placed. In a second embodiment of the internal member the triangular portions have a substantially convex surface configured substantially like a lens. The bottom member may also be formed as a substantially convex wall. The attaching means include pins and holes, and adhesive. The ornament is intended to be sold in kit form whereby the owner may mount his own photographs on the internal member and then seal the internal member within the top and bottom member before hanging the ornament on a Christmas tree.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Before explaining in detail the present invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways.
Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not limitation.
Christmas tree ornament 10, shown in FIGS.
1, 2 and 3, comprises a top member 12 formed of transparent plastic and which is cone shaped, a bottom member 14 which is convex-shaped in a manner similar to an eyepiece or lens, and also formed of transparent plastic, and a substantially pyramid shaped internal picture supporting member 16.
Internal picture supporting member 16 has three triangularly shaped surfaces 18 for supporting a triangularly shaped photograph or the like 20.
Surfaces 18 are separated by three narrow panels 22 which may be tapered at the top as shown in FIGS.
1 and 2, or have a triangular configuration, the panels 22 serving to support short messages, as shown by rectangular sheets 24.
As shown in FIGS.
2 and 3, panels 22 each have a hole 26 for receiving a mating pin 28 extending from bottom member 14 whereby internal picture supporting member 16 is attached to bottom member 14 after photographs 20 and sheets 24 have been properly mounted on surfaces 18 and panels 22.
The attachment may be aided by using a suitable adhesive.
Bottom member 14 also includes a circular rim 30 bounded by a circular raised lip 32, which mate with a circular rim 34 and a circular depression 36 provided on the base 38 of top member 12, whereby top member 12 may be attached to bottom member 14 either by a press fit or through the use of adhesive materials.
A hole 40 is placed in top member 12 whereby ornament 10 may be hung on a branch 42 of a Christmas tree 44 by means of a hook or the like 46
