Stretchable and shrinkable tree light strings
First Claim
1. A stretchable and shrinkable light string tree comprising:
- a long trunk including many short pipes, the short having many connecting rings with vanes;
a base frame with a central axis to support said long trunk to stand up straight;
multiple branches, a base part of the branches form a round shape and a hole being defined on the round shape, said round shape being arranged between two said vanes with said holes aligned with each other;
a pin extending from one side of the vane going through its hole, then going through the hole of the branch to another hole of the vane, the pin being fixed and used as an axis to make said branches being stretchable and shrinkable freely;
single or multiple sets of light strings, each composed of many lamp bulbs, lamp holders, electrical conductors and receptacles, to be fixed on the branches to establish tree light strings.

Abstract
A stretchable and shrinkable tree light string including a long trunk with many short pipes. The short pipes have one or many connecting rings. A base frame has a central axis to support the long trunk to stand up straight. Multiple branches connect at one end with a pin to the connecting ring on the short pipe. These branches use the connecting ring as a base pivot point. The branches being centered on the long trunk to be able to stretch out to form a tree shape, and also to be able to fold up to reduce the volume. Single or many sets of light strings, composed of many lamp bulbs, lamp holders, electrical conductors and receptacles, are to be fixed on the branches to establish tree light strings.
