Jewelry tree

Abstract

A jewelry tree comprising a base having a concave top surface, a tube having a first tube end, a second tube end, and at least two branches extending therefrom, and a rod having a first rod end, a second rod end, and at least two branches extending therefrom, where the first tube end is adapted to be secured to the base, the tube is arranged to extend upwardly from the base, the rod is adapted to slidably and telescopingly engage the tube, the rod is rotatable within the tube, and each branch is adapted to hold at least one item above the base.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention broadly relates to jewelry holders and, more particularly, to a jewelry tree.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Jewelry trees are well known devices or articles of manufacture, which provide a user with an aesthetically pleasing means for holding and displaying jewelry having long chains, straps, and / or strings, as jewelry of this type tends to become entangled if held in containers, such as jewelry boxes. Generally, a jewelry tree comprises a base, a “trunk” or “stem” extending upwardly from the base, and a plurality of “branches” or members extending outwardly from the trunk, where the branches are operatively arranged to hold separate and display a plurality of items.[0003]One problem with prior jewelry tree designs is that the trunk tends to be in a fixed arrangement, which limits how a user may arrange items thereon. For example, with the trunk in a fixed position, a user may not be able to hang a particular item, such as a long necklace,...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a jewelry tree with a telescoping and rotatable rod that allows users to create their own arrangement according to their needs and wishes. This results in a more flexible and customizable jewelry tree.

Problems solved by technology

One problem with prior jewelry tree designs is that the trunk tends to be in a fixed arrangement, which limits how a user may arrange items thereon.

For example, with the trunk in a fixed position, a user may not be able to hang a particular item, such as a long necklace, on some of the branches as it may become entangled on nearby lower branches or with nearby hanging jewelry.

Additionally, since the trunk is fixed, another problem with this type of prior jewelry tree is that the particular branching pattern of the jewelry is fixed, which again limits how the user may arrange items thereon.

Another problem with prior jewelry trees is that they are only designed to hold long jewelry, such as necklaces, thus necessitating a separate device for holding other types of jewelry, such as rings and earrings.

Yet another problem with prior jewelry trees is that the branches tend to be linear, such that jewelry like a necklace, bracelet, watch, etc., can easily slide off the branch from which it is hung.
