A B S T R A C T An artificial Christmas tree including a plurality of branch mounting members which are designed to support and laterally restrain branches for movement between a raised ship- ping position and a lowered display position. In prior artificial trees difficulty has been experienced in attempting to provide adequate support and ease of mounting of the branch members. According to one aspect of the present invention an artificial tree comprises an elongated trunk member, a plurality of branch members each having an eyelet at the inner end thereof, a plurality of branch mounting members and a branch mounting pin. The branch mounting members are mounted at spaced intervals on the trunk and each consist of a sleeve member mounted on the trunk, a plurality of branch mounting wing sets on the sleeve, each wing set consist- ing of a pair of side walls projecting racially from the sleeve in a spaced parallel relationship to define a branch receiving passage therebetween. The side walls are arranged sufficiently close to one another to provide a lateral support for the inner ends of the branches on opposite sides of the branch receiving passage. A branch supporting transverse wall extends between the side walls and a branch mounting passage extends transversely through the side walls. The branch mounting pin projects through the branch mounting passage and the eyelet of a branch member to pivotally mount a branch member on each wing set for movement between an elevated position and a lowered position as aforesaid.
