An arrangement for mounting holiday decorations on a smooth surface of a support includes a mounting element that has a bifurcated first end portion forming a first channel for receiving a portion of a garland, and a bifurcated second end portion forming a second channel for receiving a portion of a greeting card. The mounting arrangement further includes a suction cup component constructed to suctionally adhere to the smooth support surface, with the mounting element being connected with the suction cup component.

Seasonal decoration mounting arrangement

A lampholder for decorative strings of lights comprises at least two clips, one of which is radially oriented, the other of which is axially oriented, the axially oriented clip being formed as an extension of the radially oriented clip. Preferably a second axially oriented clip is provided in diametrically and axially opposed relationship to the first axial clip. The clips permit the lampholders to be secured to widely different types of supports that may be adventitiously found in a dwelling structure or that may be easily provided and attached thereto, and in different orientations, thereby facilitating the decoration of the dwelling. Suitably and preferably the clips are integrally molded with the body of the lampholder.

Decorative light strings and multi-purpose lampholders therefor

An arrangement for mounting decorative lights on a variety of external building structures, including roof shingles, soffits, vinyl or metal gutters or the like, includes a mounting member having a support portion including at least one substantially cylindrical confining portion for receiving a portion of the respective decorative light. The mounting member further includes a mounting portion including a central portion extending substantially along the same plane as the support portion, and a pair of angled lateral portions flanking the central portion and extending out of the plane and back to it as considered in a direction away from the support portion. The central portion and the pair of lateral portions are operative for engaging oppositely facing surfaces of the respective building structure to at least frictionally detain the mounting member and, thus, the decorative light in place on the building structure. The lateral portions may be provided with teeth that either dig into the roof shingle or soffit, or engage behind a ledge or a rear protuberance of a gutter, depending on the type of structure on which the mounting arrangement is mounted. The central portion may include a serrated detent that projects out of the plane of the central portion towards the support portion and into engagement with either the roof shingle, or a front protuberance of a metal gutter.

Universal decoration mounting arrangement

An arrangement for mounting a miniature light on a tree branch includes a mounting member that has a first end portion forming a first channel for receiving a portion of the miniature light, and a bifurcated second end portion forming a recess for receiving a portion of a respective branch that is situated at the location at which the miniature light is to be placed. The recess has at least two portions respectively bounded by at least two substantially circularly cylindrical surfaces of different diameter. The recess portions open into one another at respective cusps separating the recess portions from one another. The cylindrical surface diameters decrease from one of the recess portions to another in a direction toward the one end portion and are so chosen as to enable the respective recess portions to individually accommodate and frictionally engage the branch portion having thicknesses within a wide range.
