Abstract
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.
