Patent attributes
An adaptable decoration and lighting system is provided enabling a method of transforming a systemic device, through moving it between a retracted condition and a plurality of extended conditions, to mimic different holiday icons. The systemic device has a shaft and a plurality of support ribs pivotally coupled thereto to move between the different conditions, whereby the plurality of support ribs move between a parallel relationship with the shaft to radial relationship as it moves between the retracted condition and the plurality of extended conditions. A locking mechanism slidably coupled to the shaft can lock the plurality of support ribs in each condition of the retracted condition and the plurality of extended conditions. Light strings are concentrically attached to the plurality of support ribs along with a decorative accessory or two enable a method of selectively effectuating one of a multiple holiday-inspired configurations of the system.
