Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Christmas tree stand according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Christmas tree stands With Christmas tree stands, it is generally a problem to securely clamp the Christmas tree to be set up in such a way that the clamped Christmas tree is largely vertical, the clamping process being to be as simple as possible and with little effort.
  • a large number of Christmas tree stands have become known, all of which have set themselves the task of being able to carry out the largely vertical clamping of a Christmas tree as efficiently and simply as possible.
  • Christmas tree stands have become known in which the end of the trunk of the Christmas tree to be fixed or clamped in can be fixed by a plurality of clamping screws arranged radially in the circumferential directions of the trunk.
  • the end of the Christmas tree trunk to be clamped is inserted into a sleeve or tube, which is passed horizontally by the clamping screws.
  • the sleeve in turn is connected to a base or stand part in order to produce the necessary stability.
  • a disadvantage of these known Christmas tree stands which have become known in a variety of modifications and modifications, is that a plurality of the clamping screws, usually three or four such clamping screws, must always be tightened individually in order to clamp them as precisely as possible, that is to say perpendicularly to be able to guarantee the Christmas tree trunk.
  • the individual tightening and, if necessary, loosening of the clamping screws is extremely unpleasant and cumbersome to accomplish.
  • FIG. 1 Another category of Christmas tree stands uses movable clamping bars or clamps, which are pressed under force against a fixed bearing and thereby clamp the trunk of the Christmas tree to be fastened between them.
  • Examples of such Christmas tree stands have become known from DE-OSen 35 24 588 and 37 02 773.
  • the trunk or the free end of the trunk to be clamped or clamped is clamped in the manner of a vice between a stationary or frame-fixed replacement bearing and a clamping bar or clamp that is movable relative thereto.
  • the movement of the clamping bar and the application of the necessary clamping and holding forces is carried out by manually operated threaded spindles.
  • the attack level i.e.
  • the clamping point of the free end of the Christmas tree trunk between the fixed repository and the movable clamping beam is at a certain height and the lowest free end of the Christmas tree trunk is fixed by a vertically protruding centering mandrel attached to the Christmas tree stand, so that after the Christmas tree trunk has been clamped in, this is done according to Art a three-point support is fixed.
  • a disadvantage of Christmas tree stands which, like DE-OSen 35 24 588 or 37 02 773, use a fixed bearing and a clamping beam that can be moved relative to it, is the fact that tree trunks that are out of round in the clamping area or are very considerably round due to branch stubs or the like Deviate from the contour, in particular are very difficult to clamp vertically when the lowest free end of the trunk has already been fixed by the centering mandrel has been.
  • an out of round or irregularly contoured trunk can be pressed out of the vertical position, that is to say clamped obliquely or obliquely in the course of the clamping process.
  • a Christmas tree stand has become known from DE-PS 517 609 in which the trunk of the Christmas tree can be clamped between clamping brackets which can move relative to one another.
  • two separate clamping units are provided in the subject of DE-PS 517 609, which are arranged horizontally one above the other and spaced apart in a common stand body.
  • Each clamping unit consists of two parallel, horizontally arranged threaded rods, with two clamping brackets being slidably guided on the threaded rods.
  • the clamping brackets By means of wing nuts, which are in engagement with the threaded rods, the clamping brackets can be moved towards one another in such a way that the clear width of a receiving opening formed between the clamping brackets can be adjusted, ie reduced.
  • the clamping brackets lie against the trunk of the Christmas tree and by individually tightening the wing nuts, the clamping brackets can also be placed against a non-circular or irregularly contoured trunk in such a way that the fully clamped Christmas tree is largely vertical.
  • two of the clamping units mentioned are provided one above the other and at a distance from one another in the common stand body, so that the Christmas tree trunk is subjected to the applied clamping forces over a certain axial length extension and is largely secured against tilting.
  • the clamps in the Christmas tree stand according to DE-PS 517 609 are pressed against the trunk of the Christmas tree by the wing nuts that can be operated by hand.
  • wing nuts of this type can only exert comparatively small forces, so that the holding forces that clamp the Christmas tree can also be correspondingly low and the overall stability of the Christmas tree suffers.
  • a Christmas tree stand according to the preamble of claim 1 has become known from US Pat. No. 2,628,798.
  • This known Christmas tree stand comprises a stand body with a receiving opening into which the trunk of a Christmas tree can be clamped.
  • the central tensioning device comprises a ring in which the free ends of the tensioning bracket are received.
  • the ring With a foot-operated lever, the ring can be moved along the length of the free ends of the clamps, the spring-elastic clamps enclosing and clamping the trunk of the Christmas tree to a greater or lesser extent when the ring is displaced.
  • the basic idea behind the subject of the generic US Pat. No. 2,628,798 is to set up the tree to be set up loosely in the Christmas tree stand in such a way that the tree is already standing without further aids, but can still be corrected for setting its exactly vertical position.
  • the lever for moving the ring and finally clamping the tree trunk is only actuated after the tree has been precisely aligned.
  • a disadvantage of this Christmas tree stand is that due to the resilient design of the clamping bracket, these cannot clamp the Christmas tree trunk with sufficiently high cold forces, since they still have a certain elastic reserve even when clamped.
  • the Christmas tree that is set up is therefore not completely secure, which can be problematic particularly in the case of tall and / or protruding Christmas trees.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a Christmas tree stand according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that even circular or irregularly contoured tree trunks can be securely and quickly largely vertically clamped with it.
  • a Christmas tree stand is therefore created with: a stand body with a vertical axis; a receiving opening arranged in the stand body, through which the vertical axis passes and into which the trunk of a Christmas tree can be clamped essentially parallel to the vertical axis; and at least two clamping brackets, essentially horizontally arranged, delimiting the receiving opening, with which the clear width of the receiving opening can be adjusted and which can be placed under pressure on the trunk of the Christmas tree, the clamping brackets with one of their ends on the stand body in a substantially horizontal plane are pivotably pivoted and can be acted upon at their other, free end by a central tensioning device in such a way that they move essentially symmetrically with respect to the vertical axis.
  • This Christmas tree stand is further characterized in that the central tensioning device comprises a threaded rod which is rotatably and axially immovably mounted in the stand body and has two opposing threaded sections which are in engagement with corresponding mating thread areas at the free ends of the tensioning bracket.
  • the Christmas tree stand according to the invention is thus characterized by a plurality of features which, in their interaction, enable a secure and fast, largely perpendicular clamping of even round or irregularly contoured tree trunks.
  • the tensioning brackets are first acted upon by the central tensioning device in such a way that they move essentially symmetrically with respect to the vertical axis of the stand body.
  • the tensioning bracket is pivotally mounted on one of its ends on the stand body of the Christmas tree stand and the central tensioning device acts on the other free end of each tensioning bracket. Since the clamping brackets move symmetrically towards one another when they are acted upon by the central clamping device, i.e.
  • the central tensioning device comprises the threaded rod which is rotatably and axially immovably mounted in the stand body and has two opposing threaded sections which are in engagement with corresponding mating thread regions at the free ends of the tensioning bracket.
  • the high holding forces to be applied in turn also make it easier to set up the Christmas tree exactly vertically, since out-of-round contoured trunks, stub branches or the like can be displaced or squeezed to the side due to the high contact forces of the tensioning brackets, i.e. the tree trunk cannot be removed from its vertical during the clamping process Location is pressed.
  • the threaded rod of the central tensioning device is advantageously set in rotation from the outside of the stand body of the Christmas tree stand or can be set in rotation from the outside. This creates the possibility of rotating the threaded rod in various ways in order to actuate the central clamping device.
  • the threaded rod can be set in rotation by means of an appropriately designed handle.
  • the handle can be an attached lever with a ratchet mechanism in the manner of a so-called ratchet, a knurled wheel, a star wheel or the like.
  • the threaded rod can be set in rotation by a motor, in particular by an electric motor.
  • the central tensioning device can be actuated at the push of a button, and the actuating button can be connected to the electric motor via a longer cable, so that manipulation of the tensioning device does not have to be manipulated in the immediate vicinity of the Christmas tree stand designed in this way.
  • the clamping brackets have holding claws on their side facing the receiving opening, the trunk of the Christmas tree to be clamped is fixed even better since at least some of the holding claws are on the clamping brackets dig into the material of the Christmas tree trunk as part of the actuation of the tensioning device and thereby improve the position fixation of the trunk.
  • the holding claws are advantageously formed in each clamping bracket along a substantially semicircular or circular segment-shaped recess. This ensures that the holding claws come to rest not only at one point on the circumference of the Christmas tree trunk, but radially distributed at least along a partial area of the trunk circumference, so that the Christmas tree trunk is not only subjected to the holding force by the central tensioning device in a punctiform or linear manner, but at least partially radial or circumferential.
  • At least one of the clamping brackets has the shape of a U lying on its side in cross section, the two free ends of the legs of the U pointing in the direction of the receiving opening.
  • the profile of each clamping bracket is self-supporting and thus extremely stable, and on the other hand, the Christmas tree trunk is supported at least two points offset in the axial longitudinal direction of the trunk via the two free ends of the legs of the U, as a result of which the entire support of the Christmas tree trunk is improved in the Christmas tree stand according to the invention.
  • the holding forces applied by the central tensioning device each focus on the two free ends of the legs of the U, so that the trunk of the Christmas tree is clamped extremely firmly and securely in cooperation with the holding claws.
  • At least one of the clamping brackets can be designed such that there is essentially flat contact along at least a portion of the axial length of the Christmas tree trunk. Since the Christmas tree trunk is also supported over a certain axial length in this embodiment, the Christmas tree is held securely and immovably.
  • At least one clamping bracket can be rotatably mounted on the stand body by means of tabs.
  • the bearing hole passing through the bracket is oversized compared to a stationary counter bearing, there is a better adaptation of the clamping bracket or the clamping bracket to the trunk to be clamped, since the clamping bracket can then perform a tilting movement about the longitudinal axis.
  • a cover can be provided, which can be placed on the stand body of the Christmas tree stand from above and thereby largely covers the clamping bracket and the clamping device.
  • this significantly improves the visual appearance of the Christmas tree stand according to the invention and, on the other hand, the moving parts of the central tensioning device are secured against direct contact, so that the risk of contamination and / or accidents is minimized.
  • a water container is removably arranged in the stand body of the Christmas tree stand.
  • a tree clamped in the Christmas tree stand is prevented from drying out too quickly by the water that can be filled into the water container.
  • the resulting advantages include a lower tendency to needling the tree, a reduced fire risk due to a dried tree, and the visual advantage of a tree that looks fresh and green for longer. Is the water tank is removable, so it can be easily cleaned and refilled.
  • a Christmas tree stand according to the invention designated overall by 2 in the drawing, has, according to FIG. 1, a base or base plate 4, away from which upwards a stator body 6 extends.
  • the stand body 6 is square or rectangular in the embodiment shown with side walls 8, 10, 12 and 14 which are perpendicular to the base plate.
  • the entire stand body 6 is open at the top.
  • the area enclosed by the side walls 8, 10, 12 and 14 is smaller than that of the base plate 4 in order to give the Christmas tree stand with a clamped Christmas tree a secure stand.

Eggs are fastened from the bearing section 16, projecting vertically upwards, two bearing journals 22 and 24, which penetrate corresponding bearing recesses at the free ends of the tensioning brackets 18 and 20.
  • the clamping brackets 18 and 20 are secured on the bearing journals 22 and 24, for example, by means of locking rings or split pins.
