Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dekorationsgegenstand aus Dekorationsmaterial in Form einer Säule mit einem Hohlkörper mit gleichförmigem Querschnitt, der am oberen Ende abgedeckt ist.The invention relates to a decorative object made of decorative material in the form of a column with a hollow body with a uniform cross section, which is covered at the upper end.

Bei Dekorationsgegenständen, die z. B. auch als Raumteiler verwendet werden können, stellt sich das Problem, daß die Form und das Äußere des Gegenstandes dem Vorbild möglichst nahe kommen soll, daß aber dadurch die Verwendbarkeit zu Dekorationszwecken oder dergleichen nicht oder nur wenig beeinträchtigt werden darf. Ist das Material des Vorbildes aus Gründen der Lebensdauer oder des Gewichtes nicht für einen Dekorationsgegenstand geeignet, so muß mit Hilfe von anderen ähnlichen Materialien versucht werden, den Eindruck des Vorbildes zu erwecken.For decorative items that, for. B. can also be used as a room divider, the problem arises that the shape and the exterior of the object should come as close as possible to the model, but that the usability for decorative purposes or the like must not be affected or only slightly. If the material of the model is not suitable for a decorative object for reasons of durability or weight, other similar materials must be used to try to give the impression of the model.

In der DE-PS 344 689 ist eine Dekorationssäule beschrieben, die aus einer Rollstabwand aufgebaut ist. Diese Säule steht auf einem festen Sockel und trägt oben als Abschluß ein austauschbares Kapitel. Derartige Säulen sind vor allem für Theater und Bühnen geeignet. Ihr oberes Ende ist regelmäßig gestaltet und durch sie soll beispielsweise ein Raum das Gepräge eines gewissen Stils erhalten.In DE-PS 344 689 a decorative column is described, which is constructed from a roll bar wall. This column stands on a solid base and has an interchangeable chapter at the top. Such columns are particularly suitable for theaters and stages. Its upper end is regularly designed and, for example, it should give a room the character of a certain style.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, einen Dekorationsgegenstand in Form einer Säule so zu verbessern, daß er dem Vorbild Säule möglichst nahe kommt, dabei aber leicht zu transportieren ist und bei geringem Gewicht optimale Stabilität und Lebensdauer aufweist.The invention has set itself the task of improving a decorative object in the form of a column so that it comes as close as possible to the model of the column, but is easy to transport and has optimum stability and durability with low weight.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung einen Dekorationsgegenstand in Form einer Säule vor und schlägt vor, daß ein Hohlkörper mit gleichförmigem Querschnitt am oberen Ende unregelmäßig gestaltet ist und einen Einsatz aufweist, der im wesentlichen von Dekorationsmaterial gebildet ist, das das obere Ende des Hohlkörpers abdeckt.To achieve the object, the invention provides a decorative object in the form of a column and proposes that a hollow body with a uniform cross-section is irregularly designed at the upper end and has an insert which is essentially formed by decorative material which covers the upper end of the hollow body .

Der Hohlkörper, der das Gerüst der Säule bildet, besitzt ein relativ geringes Gewicht, so daß sich ein solcher Dekorationsgegenstand auch zur Dekoration von Innenräumen eignet. Durch den Einsatz am oberen Ende wird der Hohlkörper so kaschiert, daß durch entsprechende Gestaltung des Einsatzes der Eindruck einer Säule entsteht. Der Einsatz kann beispielsweise mit zerbrochenem Glas oder Ziegelmaterial gefüllt werden, das unregelmäßig angeordnet ist. So wird der Eindruck erweckt, daß die Säule oben abgebrochen ist.The hollow body that forms the framework of the column has a relatively low weight, so that such a decorative object is also suitable for decorating interiors. By using the upper end, the hollow body is laminated in such a way that the impression of a column is created by appropriate design of the insert. The insert can be filled with broken glass or brick material, for example, which is arranged irregularly. This gives the impression that the column has broken off at the top.

Es hat sich als günstig herausgestellt, wenn das untere Ende des Hohlkörpers einen Sockel trägt.It has proven to be advantageous if the lower end of the hollow body has a base.

Obwohl auch andere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten denkbar sind, wie etwa das Verschrauben der Säule mit dem Boden, bringt ein Sockel mehrere Vorteile. Auf der einen Seite wird der Eindruck einer Säule durch einen Sockel, der beispielsweise aus quadratischen Platten, die unsichtbar miteinander verschraubt sind, verstärkt, andererseits läßt sich die Säule so ohne Beschädigung leicht wieder entfernen und für eine andere Gelegenheit weiterverwenden.Although other fastening options are also conceivable, such as screwing the column to the floor, a base has several advantages. On the one hand, the impression of a pillar is reinforced by a base made of square plates that are invisibly screwed together, on the other hand, the pillar can be easily removed without damage and used for another occasion.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird der Einsatz durch von innen angebrachte Schrauben im Hohlkörper gehalten.In one embodiment of the invention, the insert is held in the hollow body by screws attached from the inside.

Diese Schrauben sind von außen nicht zu sehen, stören also den optischen Eindruck nicht und ermöglichen ein leichtes Herausnehmen und eventuelles Auswechseln des Einsatzes.These screws are not visible from the outside, so they do not disturb the visual impression and allow easy removal and possible replacement of the insert.

Es ist günstig, wenn der Hohlkörper außen eine Beschichtung trägt.It is advantageous if the hollow body has a coating on the outside.

Die Beschichtung, die durch aufgebrachte Längsleisten ergänzt werden kann, richtet sich je nach Verwendungszweck der Säule und wird in ihrem Äußeren dem Füllmaterial des Einsatzes angepaßt. Das äußere Erscheinungsbild der Säule läßt sich hierdurch verbessern. Die Längsleisten werden vorzugsweise aufgeklebt oder aufgenagelt.The coating, which can be supplemented by applied longitudinal strips, depends on the intended use of the column and its exterior is adapted to the filling material of the insert. This can improve the external appearance of the column. The longitudinal strips are preferably glued or nailed on.

Die Fertigstellung des gesamten Dekorationsgegenstandes einschließlich der Beschichtung des Hohlkörpers und einer entsprechenden Beschichtung des Sockels kann wegen des geringen Gewichts in der Werkstatt geschehen, so daß im Verwendungsraum der Dekorationsgegenstand nur noch aufgestellt wird.The completion of the entire decorative object including the coating of the hollow body and a corresponding coating of the base can be done in the workshop because of the low weight, so that the decorative object is only set up in the use room.

Es hat sich als günstig herausgestellt, wenn der Hohlkörper von einem Kunststoffrohr gebildet ist.It has proven to be advantageous if the hollow body is formed by a plastic tube.

Bei einer solchen Bauart reduziert sich das Gewicht des Dekorationsgegenstandes weiter. Auch ist das Kunststoffrohr, das im allgemeinen als Abwasserrohr gebraucht wird, vergleichsweise billig und in vielen Abmessungen erhältlich.With such a design, the weight of the decorative object is further reduced. The plastic pipe, which is generally used as a sewage pipe, is comparatively cheap and available in many dimensions.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist der Hohlkörper einen vieleckigen Querschnitt auf.In one embodiment of the invention, the hollow body has a polygonal cross section.

Auch bei einem so gestalteten Hohlkörper läßt sich ein Kunststoffrohr verwenden. Durch die vieleckige Gestalt erhöhen sich die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten des Dekorationsgegenstandes und es wird eine optische Vielfalt erreicht.A plastic tube can also be used with a hollow body designed in this way. The polygonal shape increases the possible uses of the decorative object and an optical variety is achieved.

Bei einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung trägt der Einsatz eine Mulde oder Schale für Pflanzen.In another embodiment of the invention, the insert carries a trough or bowl for plants.

Durch das Einpflanzen von Pflanzen in den Einsatz am oberen Ende der Säule wird ein besonders attraktives Aussehen des Dekorationsgegenstandes erreicht. Die Mulde kann dabei Erde, Material für die Hydrokultur oder Wasser aufnehmen.By planting plants in the insert at the upper end of the column, a particularly attractive appearance of the decorative object is achieved. The trough can hold soil, material for hydroponics or water.

Der Hohlkörper 1 steht mit seinem unteren Ende vorzugsweise auf dem Sockel 5, auf dem er durch Schrauben 10 gehalten wird. Der Sockel 5 kann aus mehreren Einzelplatten 11 aufgebaut sein. Die Scheibe im Hohlkörper 1 erleichtert die Verbindung mit dem Sockel 5.The lower end of the hollow body 1 preferably stands on the base 5, on which it is held by screws 10. The base 5 can be constructed from several individual plates 11. The disc in the hollow body 1 facilitates the connection to the base 5.

Besteht der Sockel 5 aus mehreren Einzelplatten 11, so werden diese jeweils durch Schrauben 12 miteinander verbunden, wie in Fig. 3 zu sehen ist.If the base 5 consists of a plurality of individual plates 11, these are each connected to one another by screws 12, as can be seen in FIG. 3.

Der Hohlkörper 1 weist eine runde Gestalt auf, wie beispielsweise in Fig. 2 gezeigt. Möglich sind aber auch vieleckige, beispielsweise viereckige oder sechseckige Querschnitte. Bei einem viereckigen Querschnitt wird der Hohlkörper vorzugsweise aus Preßspanplatten gebildet, die miteinander verbunden werden. Weist der Hohlkörper 1 eine runde Form auf, so besteht er im allgemeinen aus einem Kunststoffrohr.The hollow body 1 has a round shape, as shown for example in FIG. 2. However, polygonal, for example quadrangular or hexagonal, cross sections are also possible. In the case of a square cross-section, the hollow body is preferably formed from particle board which are connected to one another. If the hollow body 1 has a round shape, it generally consists of a plastic tube.

Der Hohlkörper 1 trägt die dekorative Beschichtung 7, die durch Längsleisten 8 ergänzt wird.
