Abstract
A decorative, action oriented ornament/display system is attained by providing an attention-attracting member which cooperates with a support platform or plate which is removably mounted to any limb or branch of a tree. By employing this construction, an ornament display system is realized which is quickly and easily mounted to a tree, whenever desired, or removed therefrom for display on any other surface. In the preferred embodiment, the ornament/display member incorporates interlock means formed on the support plate for removably affixing the ornament/display member to the support plate whenever desired. Furthermore, the ornament/display member also preferably incorporates a stowable hook or ring member cooperatively associated with the upper portion of the ornament/display member for enabling the ornament/display member to be affixed to a supporting branch or limb independently of the platform. In the preferred embodiment, the ornament/display member is constructed as a bubble blowing member and incorporates circuitry for enabling the ornament/display member to be switchable between three alternate positions, an OFF position, an ON position, and a third position which engages a built-in time delay for continuously cycling between an activated and deactivated mode.
