Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Christmas tree stand, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Christmas tree stands are known in which a vertically upright sleeve is provided on a plate or on a foot part, which serves to receive the lower end of the Christmas tree trunk.
  • clamping screws are provided all around at regular intervals, which penetrate the sleeve and are used for clamping and thus for fixing the Christmas tree trunk inside the sleeve.
  • the disadvantage here is that only a slight clamping effect can be applied to the trunk via the clamping screws, which can usually only be actuated by finger force, so that the fastening of a Christmas tree with these known Christmas tree stands is not satisfactory.
  • the exact vertical alignment of the Christmas tree trunk which is desirable for aesthetic reasons, is very difficult to achieve.
  • the alignment and clamping requires the help of a second person, since it is practically impossible to hold the tree and tighten the clamping screws at the same time.
  • DE-AS 23 52 892 shows a support stand, in particular for setting up Christmas trees, in which a receiving sleeve is arranged vertically on a base plate in a known manner. Inside this receptacle is one second sleeve slidably guided and is supported with its bottom end on a correspondingly dimensioned compression spring. This inner coaxially movable sleeve is used to hold the trunk of the Christmas tree. Brackets are arranged on the outer sleeve in its upper edge area such that they can be pivoted in the direction of the central axis of the two sleeves.
  • DE-PS 25 47 184 shows a tree stand in which the tree trunk to be fastened is guided in a sleeve provided with slots, a wedge-shaped displacement body being screwed onto the outer circumference of the sleeve in the manner of a union nut and radially arranged pressing jaws due to its wedge-shaped displacement profile pushing towards the tree trunk.
  • the tree trunk guided in the sleeve is finally clamped and fixed in position by the press jaws moving radially inwards. It is also disadvantageous in this known tree stand that if the cross-section of the tree trunk deviates from the circular shape, the pressing jaws are not positioned uniformly and thus are insufficient Fastening on the one hand and a not completely vertical alignment on the other hand.
  • DE-OS 30 03 233 and also US Pat. No. 2,260,932 show a device for the vertical holding of rod-shaped objects, in particular tree trunks, in which the tree trunk to be fastened is clamped and held in a corresponding holder in the manner of a ship's mast by means of a complex tension wire system.
  • these known devices are extremely complex in their construction and, moreover, are difficult to operate.
  • DE-PS 20 42 shows a Christmas tree holder with a cylinder provided with vertical openings, which is placed vertically on a foot part or frame.
  • the slot-shaped recesses are penetrated by brackets which are guided in horizontal axes of rotation such that they can perform a pivoting movement.
  • the upper end of the bracket is sharply tapered, while the lower end is blunt and protrudes into the interior of the cylinder when the bracket is at rest.
  • the disadvantage here is that the holding forces should already be applied in the course of the insertion movement, so that with a continuous insertion of the tree trunk into the holder, progressively increasing forces have to be overcome, which eventually become so high that the tree trunk is no longer inserted into the holder can be used, although the retaining edges or claws on the brackets have not yet provided a sufficiently secure lateral fixation.
  • a Christmas tree stand has become known from DE-OS 23 581 51, which essentially consists of a receiving part for receiving the lower end of the Christmas tree trunk and radially outwardly extending legs.
  • the receiving part has, for example, three clamping claws or holding claws, which can be moved in the direction of the trunk surface and moved away from it via a common clamping device and an intervening toggle joint.
  • the tensioning device which in the exemplary embodiment is a tensioning screw, a horizontal plate is moved up and down, and knee plane connections articulated on the plate act on the individual clamping claws.
  • a generic Christmas tree stand in which the support of the tree trunk against a foot part is carried out by a total of three bow-shaped hinged support struts which are pivotally supported at one end on the foot part and at the other end to the trunk of the Christmas tree can be created. Furthermore, a wire strand or the like is provided, which can be placed and tightened via a screw / nut arrangement around the ends of the support struts resting on the tree trunk, so that the free ends of the support struts are pressed against the trunk of the Christmas tree and hold it in the clamped position should.
  • a disadvantage of the generic Christmas tree stand is first that only relatively low clamping forces can be applied to the wire strand and thus only correspondingly low holding forces can be applied to the Christmas tree trunk by the clamping device designed as a wing nut or the like. Furthermore, with the generic Christmas tree stand, a secure, ie stable, installation of a Christmas tree is only partially or difficult to accomplish, in particular by a single person. The reasons for this are first of all the already mentioned laborious and forceful tensioning of the wire strand by means of the wing nut, whereby this tensioning can only be done with one hand in the case of a single person, since at the same time the Christmas tree still has to be held with the other hand until the clamping process is completed has been.
  • the fully clamped Christmas tree is poorly prevented from lateral tilting movements, since the design of the support struts and their position fixing on the trunk by means of the wire strand to be tensioned allows sliding movements of the tree trunk relative to the contact areas of the support struts. So the tree trunk tilts not reliably prevented by the Christmas tree stand, since the flexible design of the entire support and tensioning device allows a certain amount of yielding. A tree that is heavily loaded on one side can therefore lean towards the load side over time, the contact ends of the support struts yielding on the one hand due to the comparatively low clamping forces to be applied by means of the wing screw and the structurally unfavorable design of the entire holding and clamping device on the other.
  • the object of the invention is to design a Christmas tree stand according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that a tree set up with it can be set up in a simple yet stable manner.
  • a Christmas tree stand has, in accordance with FIG. 1, essentially a foot part 4, for example a solid metal plate, a triangular stand or the like, and a receiving part 6 arranged thereon for receiving a trunk (not shown in more detail in the drawing) of the Christmas tree.
  • the receiving part 6 consists essentially of a circular cylinder 8 with side walls perpendicular to the foot part 4 and a receiving cone 10 arranged coaxially therein, the side wall of which is inclined as shown in FIG. 1 such that the receiving cone 10 starts from the foot part 4 upwards extended to the edge region of the cylinder 8.
  • a centering mandrel 12 is arranged standing vertically upwards. As can be seen in particular from FIG.
  • a plurality of holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 are provided on the outer circumference of the receiving part 6 or its cylinder 8.
  • the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 are here pivotably mounted in bearing supports 22, 24, 26 and 28 provided on or attached to the outer circumference of the cylinder 8 by means of pivot axes 30, 32, 24 and 36.
  • the end regions of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 opposite the pivot axes 30, 32, 34 and 36 form contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44, which are used for contact with a Christmas tree trunk 2 to be fastened in the Christmas tree stand 2 according to the invention, as will be explained below becomes.
  • the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 are pivotable about the pivot axes 30, 32, 34 and 36 between a release position in which the Christmas tree can be freely inserted into and removed from the receiving cone 10 and a holding position in which the contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44 fix the Christmas tree trunk between them.
  • a tensioning device 46 which acts on the individual holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 via a force transmission element 48.
  • the tensioning device 46 has a commercially available latch mechanism 50, which is supported both on the foot part 4 and on the cylinder 8 by means of suitable webs 52 and 54, and in which one with a latch lock via a movable tensioning lever 56 58 provided winding roller 60 is rotatable.
  • the tensioning lever 56 is biased in the direction of the cylinder 8 or its neutral position by means of a tension spring 62.
  • the force transmission element 48 is a steel cable 66 which, according to FIG. 1, is attached at one end to the roller 60 and can be received by the latter. Starting from the roller 60, the steel cable 66 passes through appropriately dimensioned bores 68, 70, 72 and 74 in the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 2.
  • the remaining free end of the steel cable 66 is fastened in a suitable manner either to the foot part 4 or in the region of the receiving part 6. This can be done by a cable lock 76 or the like.
  • the steel cable 66 serving as the force transmission element 48 thus wraps around 75% of an insertion opening 78 in the region of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 and penetrates the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 in holes 68, 70, 72 and 74.
  • the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 are prestressed in the direction of their release position by return springs 80, 82, 84 and 86.
  • the functioning of the Christmas tree stand according to the invention described so far is as follows:
  • the Christmas tree to be fastened in the Christmas tree stand 2 is with the free end of its trunk in the insertion opening 78 between the contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44 of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 in Fig. 1 down into the receiving cone 10 of the cylinder 8 or the receiving part 6 introduced.
  • a first provisional fixation of the trunk in the horizontal direction then takes place via the centering mandrel 12.
  • the entire Christmas tree is now brought into a vertical position by hand, after which the same person who holds the tree trunk in a vertical position sets the roller 60 in rotation by actuating the tensioning lever 56, so that the steel cable 66 is successively wound onto the roller 60 will and tensions.
  • the actuation of the tensioning lever 56 takes place particularly advantageously by foot actuation by one and the same person, who holds the tree trunk in a vertical position.
  • the steel cable 66 acting as a power transmission element 48 is gradually wound on the roller 60 by actuating the tensioning lever 56 of the tensioning device 46, the other free end of the steel cable 66 being fixed in the cable lock 76, which results in the steel cable 66 building tensile stress and also the decreasing length of the steel cable 66 in general that the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 in Fig. 1 and 2 are moved in the direction of an axis of symmetry, the axis of symmetry being understood as an axial extension of the centering mandrel 12.
  • the successively shortening steel cable 66 pulls the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 inward against the force of the return springs 80, 82, 84 and 86, the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 corresponding pivotal movements about the pivot axes 30, 32, Execute 34 and 36 so that the contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44 gradually approach the surface of the tree trunk.
  • the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 pivot here in planes which essentially intersect in the axis of symmetry according to FIG. 2.
  • the holding element 14 strikes the surface of the inserted tree trunk first as the tree trunk is in the area of the retaining element 14 may have an irregular bulge.
  • the steel cable 46 is still taken up by the roller 60 and a corresponding tensioning force is transmitted from the steel cable 66.
  • the holding element 14, the contact area 38 of which rests on the surface of the tree trunk does not exert any force on the tree trunk, since the steel cable 66 can pass through the bore 70 practically without force and thus only the remaining holding elements 16, 18 and 20 successively on the peripheral surface of the tree Tree trunk to be moved.
  • the one of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 that has reached the peripheral surface of the tree trunk first comes into contact with this surface essentially without force until the remaining holding elements have likewise reached the trunk surface either then or simultaneously in succession. Only when all the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 with their corresponding contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44 bear against the circumferential surface of the tree trunk, does the force exerted by the tensioning device 46 on the steel cable 66 again have an essentially uniform distribution on all holding elements 14 , 16, 18 and 20, so that now the contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44 are pressed under the force of the clamping device 46 to the circumference of the tree trunk.
  • the points of engagement of the steel cable 66 in the area below the pivot axes 30, 32, 34 and 36 of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 can be provided, the points of engagement of the steel cable 66 in the area below the pivot axes 30, 32, 34 and 36 of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 to arrange.

  • the brackets can either be directly on the foot part 4 or on one with the foot part 4 connected cover to be attached.
  • the steel cable 66 is tightened by actuating the tensioning device 46, the sections of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 lying below the pivot axes 30, 32, 34 and 36, which preferably have a greater length than the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 , pivoted outwards so that the sections of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 lying above the pivot axes 30, 32, 34 and 36 are pivoted accordingly inwards and the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 with their contact areas 38, Place 40, 42 and 44 in the manner described on the trunk of the Christmas tree.

  • the holding element lies down which corresponds to the circumference of the tree trunk to be fastened reached first as long as practically no force on this circumference until the remaining holding elements have also applied to the circumference. Only then is the clamping force applied by the clamping device 46 evenly transmitted to all holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20, so that the contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44 or the holding claws 88, 90, 92 and 94 on the circumference of the Create a tribe or dig into it.

  • the stem of the Christmas tree is not pushed out of its position into which it was brought before actuation of the tensioning device 46 by the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 which are successively applied. It is therefore also possible to deliberately and securely clamp the trunk in a certain inclined or skewed position. This is advantageous if the base of the Christmas tree stand 2 is not horizontal, for example outdoors, so that a vertically clamped tree would ultimately be crooked.
  • the unlocking bracket 64 is actuated in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, so that the pawl lock 58 no longer acts on the roller 60. Due to its inherent elasticity, the steel cable 66 and the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 relax and are no longer pushed into their holding position by the steel cable 66, but rather return either under the action of the return springs 80, 82, 84 and 86 or by applying a certain finger force back to their release position so that the Christmas tree can be removed from the Christmas tree stand 2.
  • the pressure medium is sucked out of the individual pressure cylinders 98 or escapes automatically after actuation of a corresponding valve, so that the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 also return to their release position.
  • a significant advantage of the Christmas tree stand according to the present invention is also that both in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 and in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 and the second embodiment according to FIG. 4, the holding position of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 can be adjusted at any time. This is particularly advantageous when the Christmas tree lingers in the Christmas tree stand 2 for a long time, since the trunk of the Christmas tree begins to dwindle as the wood begins to dry out, so that the clamping of the tree gradually subsides.
  • the steel cable 66 can be easily re-tensioned by actuating the tensioning lever 56 one or more times and thus the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 can be securely held again.

  • an insertion sleeve can also be provided on the tensioning device 46 according to FIG. 1, into which a broomstick or the like can then be inserted in order to actuate the tensioning device 46.
  • This can be particularly advantageous if the tree to be fastened in the Christmas tree stand 2 is very expansive in its lower region, so that the tensioning lever 56 is difficult to access.
  • the unlocking bracket 64 can also advantageously have a type of remote control, for example a cable pull or the like. This has the advantage that one does not have to crawl under the Christmas tree to open or loosen the tensioning device 46, which is usually already dry at the time of loosening and needles accordingly.
  • the installation position of the pressure cylinder 98 in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 is also only to be understood as an example. Other installation positions are also conceivable in which the force of the pressure cylinder 98 is transmitted to the holding elements.
  • the steel cable 66 passes through the bores 68, 70, 72 and 74 in the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20. This may mean that through the bores 68, 70, 72 and 74 the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20 are unnecessarily weakened in their area between the contact areas 38, 40, 42 and 44 and the pivot axes 30, 32, 34 and 36. It can thus be advantageous to guide the steel cable 66 around the outside of the holding elements 14, 16, 18 and 20, in which case the steel cable 66 is then guided in eyelets or the like welded onto the holding elements.
  • the described embodiments are not limited to the mounting of a Christmas tree. Rather, it is possible to hold practically any approximately rod-shaped object with the Christmas tree stand 2 according to the invention.
