Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for setting up, aligning and holding Christmas trees according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Tree stands are used to set up Christmas trees. Usually the tree trunk is pushed into the Christmas tree stand and fixed with screws at right angles to the tree axis in the stand. Tree stands are also known which allow the tree to be aligned via a ball joint, via clamp connections or via the adjustability of articulated foot supports.
  • the devices listed here allow the correct alignment of the tree only with difficulty.
  • the insertion of the tree into the stand and the attachment is often difficult and cumbersome.
  • Most of the work is done in a stooped position or lying on the floor and with the help of another person.
  • a Christmas tree stand is known (published application DE-OS 34 21 733), in which a fastening part screwed to the tree rests in an articulated socket and is frictionally clamped to the foot part via a tensioning band.
  • the strap is tightened using a screw.
  • the fastening part is also loosened using the screw. Accordingly, after inserting the fastening part into the socket of the foot part, cumbersome and cumbersome handling is required to align and fix the tree. Attention should also be drawn to the complex design of the device.
  • DE-GM 77 25 342 describes a Christmas tree stand of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, in which the tree holder is articulated in a foot container and is aligned and fixed by means of adjusting screws.
  • the alignment of the tree is achieved by means of an opposing tension screw.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a tree stand that allows the installation and correct alignment in a simple and easy handling.
  • the sleeve connected to the tree trunk by means of a clamp screw connection and inserted with the conically closed part into the likewise conically shaped counterpart of the foot is fixed via a perforated plate.
  • the plate lies on the surface of the foot cover. It is under a preselected contact pressure and can be moved against the frictional engagement between the two surfaces. Only the force exerted by hand on the tree causes an adjustment of the perforated plate centrally surrounding the sleeve and thus fixes the desired position of the tree.
  • the foot of the tree stand is designed as a closed hollow body. It is filled with water in order to increase the stability of the device and to ensure that the tree is irrigated via inlet openings.
  • a perforated plate P pressed on by spring elements E.
  • the screws S which penetrate into the circumference of the foot cover A press the spring elements E against the perforated plate and foot cover A.
  • the centrally in the perforated plate P bores B are selected in diameter so that a sufficiently large displaceability of the perforated plate P on the foot cover A is ensured.
  • the sleeve H connected to the inserted tree trunk by means of a clamping screw is conical at the closed end. It is inserted through the perforated plate P into the conically shaped counterpart K. So that the sleeve H is fixed with the clamped tree against the foot F from reaching.
  • the perforated plate P comprising the shaft of the sleeve H is shifted on the foot cover A until the desired vertical position of the tree is reached.
  • Inlet openings ⁇ are provided within the foot container F and in the sleeve H for watering the tree.
