This invention relates to Christmas-tree holders of that variety where novelty, in the way of miniature replicas of well-known objects, combine with the the holders aforesaid. v
The objectsof the invention are: the pro-' viding of a safe and ornamental tree holder utilitarian purposeof that will allow for innovations which will keep up the interest in festive customs. The providing of a braced tree holderwhich has all its mechanical-structural aspects masked in forms that present a more pleasingaid to the imagination. luminated means for an otherwise darkened and hidden area, which invites the at-' tention of observers by the pleasing effect produced. And the ofiering of an object which will provide an economical device that will dually function as an element of juvenileinterest asidefrom its uses as atre support.
The figures of the drawing are indexed as follows Fig. 1 is a rear dotted line. I v a Fig. 2 is a side elevation, broken away to disclose the interior.
Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view of the treecentering means. 7 r I Similar characters of reference applyto like parts throughout the several views.-
Referringmore particularly to the drawings, D is a miniature reproduction of a. bungalow, or domicile, having all the essen V tial elements'that usually appear in replicas common to the dolls-house class. The house rests upon an integral base or yard B, which extends beyond the outline of the house proper, so that a wide area is covered for insuring against any tilting tendency, and,
also, for allowing the placing of other objects that may be added as seasonal adjuncts.
The walls will have transparencies in the form of windows, some of which may be free to open upon occasion. V
The roof is in two parts; one half is R, hinged to the rear wall at I-I;the other half,

The said unit provides for a plurality 5 of connections that will serve for a variety of uses in the distribution ofelectric our- The hinging of the door portion R will allow also, of free access to the house interior when the device is functioning as-a Directly under the I F of the house D, is fashioned a basin-like depression W for holding water that is ab- .sorbed by the tree; there is a further depression of cone-like form, centrally aligned with the chimneys aperture which functions as a self centering means for the tree trunk T.

A house-current wire W will service the invention from any convenient outlet or socket, and tl 1e..do1nicile itself will be tinted to represent those efiects common to structures of this classification,
Having described the invention, what is claimed as being patentably novel and desirous of protecting by Letters Patent, is
An article'of, manufacture having, an inclosure accessibly covered, a hinged cover portion integrally combined with a rectangular tube, a fixed centering rest within said nclosure, and means residing in said tube for limiting the hinged portion to complete the inclosure cover when locating the rectangular tube spacedly above and axially aligned With the aforesaid centering rest.
