Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Baumständer, insbesondere Weihnachtsbaumständer, wobei der Ständer einen Boden zur Aufnahme des Baumstammes aufweist.The invention relates to a tree stand, in particular a Christmas tree stand, the stand having a floor for receiving the tree trunk.

Weihnachtsbaumständer sind hinreichend bekannt; bekannt ist hierbei ein Ständer, bei dem der Baumstamm in eine zylindrische Hülse eingeführt wird, und alsdann durch seitlich angeordnete winklig zueinander stehende Schrauben in einer bestimmten Stellung fixiert wird. Bekannt ist allerdings auch, den Baumstamm durch Hebelmechanismen oder Spannfedern in seiner Stellung zu fixieren.Christmas tree stands are well known; a stand is known in which the tree trunk is inserted into a cylindrical sleeve and is then fixed in a certain position by laterally arranged screws at an angle to one another. However, it is also known to fix the tree trunk in its position by lever mechanisms or tension springs.

Aus der DE-OS 42 11 158 ist ein Weihnachtsbaumständer bekannt, bei dem der Ständer eine Hülse zur Aufnahme des Baumstammes aufweist, wobei seitlich zur Hülse Arme vorgesehen sind, die mittels einer Kette um den Stamm angelegt werden können.From DE-OS 42 11 158 a Christmas tree stand is known in which the stand has a sleeve for receiving the tree trunk, arms are provided laterally to the sleeve, which can be placed around the trunk by means of a chain.

Diese bekannten Baumständer haben alle den Nachteil, daß, bevor der Baum in dem Ständer fixiert werden kann, der Baumstamm zumindest bearbeitet worden sein muß. Die Bearbeitung kann beispielsweise mit dem Ziel erfolgen, den Stammdurchmesser zu verringern, damit er überhaupt von dem Baumständer aufgenommen werden kann, oder aber den Baumstamm durch Bearbeitung zu begradigen, damit der Baumstamm halbwegs lotrecht steht, um hierdurch auch die Gefahr des Umfallens zu vermindern.These known tree stands all have the disadvantage that before the tree can be fixed in the stand, the tree trunk must at least have been processed. The processing can be done, for example, with the aim of reducing the trunk diameter so that it can be picked up by the tree stand at all, or to straighten the tree trunk by processing so that the tree trunk is halfway perpendicular, thereby also reducing the risk of falling over.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Baumständer zu schaffen, durch den ein Baum aufgenommen werden kann, ohne daß der Baumstamm in irgendeiner Weise vorher bearbeitet werden muß und der dennoch gerade steht.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a tree stand by which a tree can be picked up without the tree trunk having to be processed in any way beforehand and which is still standing.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Boden ein Lochmuster zur Aufnahme mehrerer Stangen besitzt, die um den Stamm herum in die durch Äste des Baumes gebildeten Zwischenräume ragen. Die Standfestigkeit des Baumes wird somit im wesentlichen dadurch erreicht, daß sich die Äste mit den Stangen verzahnen. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß selbst schief gewachsene Bäume mit dieser Vorrichtung. ohne in irgendeiner Weise bearbeitet werden zu müssen, im wesentlichen lotrecht aufstellbar sind.The object is achieved in that the bottom has a perforated pattern for receiving several rods that protrude around the trunk into the spaces formed by branches of the tree. The stability of the tree is thus essentially achieved in that the branches interlock with the poles. It has been shown that even crooked trees with this device. can be set up essentially vertically without having to be processed in any way.

Nach einem besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist das Lochmuster derart gestaltet, daß die Stangen in unterschiedlichen Kreisdurchmessern anordbar sind, um den unterschiedlichen Baumstammdurchmessern Rechnung tragen zu können.According to a special feature of the invention, the perforated pattern is designed in such a way that the rods can be arranged in different circle diameters in order to be able to take the different tree trunk diameters into account.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist der Ständer als Behälter ausgebildet, wobei der Behälter zur Erhöhung der Standsicherheit mit schwerem Material, wie beispielsweise Sand, oder auch mit Wasser ausgefüllt werden kann, wobei das Auffüllen mit Wasser den Vorteil hat, daß der Baum länger frisch bleibt. Vorteilhaft weist der Ständer zwei Kammern auf, wobei die eine untere Kammer mit einem zur Erhöhung der Standfestigkeit schwerem Material ausfüllbar ist, und wobei die andere obere Kammer mit Wasser anfüllbar ist.According to a further feature of the invention, the stand is designed as a container, the container for increasing the Stability can be filled with heavy material, such as sand, or even with water, the filling with water having the advantage that the tree stays fresh longer. The stand advantageously has two chambers, one lower chamber being able to be filled with a material which is heavy to increase the stability, and the other upper chamber being able to be filled with water.

Zur Erleichterung der Verpackung, und zur Anpassung an die Stammhöhe, sind die Stangen in ihrer Länge veränderbar ausgebildet. Dies ist dadurch erreichbar, daß die Stangen entweder teilbar oder aber teleskopartig verlängerbar ausgebildet.In order to facilitate the packaging and to adapt to the trunk height, the length of the rods is variable. This can be achieved in that the rods are either divisible or extendable telescopically.

Nach einem besonders vorteilhaften Merkmal der Erfindung besitzt der Boden konisch ausgebildete Löcher, wobei korrespondierend hierzu die Stangen endseitig ebenfalls einen Konus aufweisen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß die Stangen fest in den im Boden angeordneten Löchern einsitzen. Möglich ist allerdings auch die Stangen in die Löcher im Boden einzuschrauben.According to a particularly advantageous feature of the invention, the base has conically shaped holes, the rods correspondingly also having a cone at the end. This ensures that the rods are firmly seated in the holes arranged in the floor. However, it is also possible to screw the rods into the holes in the floor.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung sind die Stangen schräg stehend von den Löchern im Boden aufnehmbar. D. h., daß die Stangen nach Art eines Straußes konisch auslaufend von den im Boden angeordneten Löchern aufgenommen werden. Wenn die Stangen in größerer Entfernung vom Baumstamm in das Geäst des Baumes eingreifen, so steht der Baum sicherer, als wenn die Stäbe unmittelbar am Baumstamm parallel zum Baumstamm entlang geführt werden, da der Hebelarm, der zum Kippen des Baumes erforderlich ist, länger wird.According to a further feature of the invention, the rods can be received obliquely from the holes in the floor. That is, the rods are received in the manner of an ostrich tapering from the holes arranged in the bottom. If the poles engage in the branches of the tree at a greater distance from the tree trunk, the tree stands more securely than if the bars are guided directly along the tree trunk parallel to the tree trunk, since the lever arm, which is required to tip the tree, becomes longer.

Nach einer Variante des Baumständers sind die Stangen exzentrisch und verdrehbar, jeweils durch ein Loch des Lochmusters aufnehmbar. Hierzu weisen die Stangen vorteilhaft an ihrem dem Boden des Ständers zugewandten Ende jeweils ein Exzenterglied auf, wobei das Exzenterglied ein Fußteil zur Aufnahme durch ein Loch des Lochmusters besitzt. Der Vorteil dieser Variante besteht darin, daß mit weniger Löchern im Boden des Ständers dennoch unterschiedlich starke Baumstämme sicher aufgenommen werden können, da durch Verdrehen der Stangen in den Löchern des Lochmusters der Abstand der Stangen zueinander variiert werden kann.According to a variant of the tree stand, the rods are eccentric and rotatable, each of which can be received through a hole in the hole pattern. For this purpose, the rods advantageously each have an eccentric member at their end facing the base of the stand, the eccentric member having a foot part for receiving through a hole in the hole pattern. The advantage of this variant is that with fewer holes in the base of the stand, tree trunks of different strengths can be used can be safely accommodated, since the distance between the rods can be varied by rotating the rods in the holes of the hole pattern.

Vorteilhaft ist zur Verstärkung der Verbindung zwischen der Stange und dem Exzenterglied ein Steg vorgesehen, der nach Art eines Dreiecks ausgebildet sein kann und senkrecht auf dem Exzenterglied angeordnet ist.To reinforce the connection between the rod and the eccentric member, a web is advantageously provided, which can be designed in the manner of a triangle and is arranged vertically on the eccentric member.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal dieser Variante ist das Fußteil in dem Loch fixierbar. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, daß das Loch mehreckig, also beispielsweise dreieckig oder viereckig ausgebildet ist. Jedoch ist auch denkbar, durch Schrauben das Exzenterglied auf dem Boden des Ständers zu fixieren.According to a further feature of this variant, the foot part can be fixed in the hole. This can happen, for example, in that the hole is polygonal, for example triangular or square. However, it is also conceivable to fix the eccentric member on the base of the stand by means of screws.

Gemäß der Fig. 1 besteht der insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Baumständer aus zwei Kammern 2 und 3, die durch den Boden 4 getrennt sind. Der Boden 4 nimmt die Stangen 5 auf, zwischen die der Baumstamm 6 des Baumes 7 in Richtung des Pfeiles 8 eingesetzt werden kann. Der Boden 4 besitzt das Lochmuster 9, wobei die einzelnen Löcher 9a des Lochmusters 9 derart angeordnet sind, daß die Löcher in etwa auf zwei Kreisen liegen.According to FIG. 1, the tree stand, designated as a whole by 1, consists of two chambers 2 and 3, which are separated by the bottom 4. The bottom 4 receives the rods 5, between which the log 6 of the tree 7 can be inserted in the direction of the arrow 8. The bottom 4 has the hole pattern 9, the individual holes 9a of the hole pattern 9 being arranged such that the holes lie approximately on two circles.

Die Ausbildung der Löcher ergibt sich aus den Fig. 3 und 4. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 besitzt der Boden 4 Löcher 9a in Form eines Konus, wobei der Konus einen Winkel von etwa 8 ° aufweist. Die Stange 5 besitzt an ihrem Ende entsprechend ebenfalls einen Konus 5a, der kraftschlüssig von dem Loch 9a aufgenommen wird. Die Löcher 9a können in dem Boden 4 derart angeordnet sein, daß die Stangen schräg in dem Boden stehen, wie sich dies aus Fig. 1 ergibt. Hierdurch wird die Verzahnung mit dem Baumgeäst inniger, da im Abstand vom Baumstamm weitere Astverzweigungen vorhanden sind, die dem Baum insgesamt einen besseren Halt geben.The formation of the holes results from FIGS. 3 and 4. In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the base has 4 holes 9a in the form of a cone, the cone having an angle of approximately 8 °. The rod 5 also has a cone 5a at its end, which is non-positively received by the hole 9a. The holes 9a can be arranged in the bottom 4 such that the rods are inclined in the bottom, as can be seen in FIG. 1. This makes the interlocking with the tree branches more intimate, since there are further branches at a distance from the tree trunk, which give the tree a better grip overall.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 4 ist die Stange 5 durch eine Gewindeverbindung 10 in dem Loch 9a verankert.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the rod 5 is anchored in the hole 9a by means of a threaded connection 10.

Die Stange 5 selbst kann geteilt ausgebildet sein, wobei die beiden Enden der Stange, beispielsweise durch eine Gewindeverbindung miteinander verbindbar sind. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, die Stange bei Art eines Teleskops auszubilden, ähnlich einer Antenne, um die Länge der Stange variabel zu gestalten; dies in Hinblick auf eine Erleichterung bei der Verpackung und auch in Hinblick auf die Wahl der Größe in Abhängigkeit von der Höhe des Weihnachtsbaumes.The rod 5 itself can be of split design, the two ends of the rod being connectable to one another, for example by means of a threaded connection. However, it is also possible to design the rod in the manner of a telescope, similar to an antenna, in order to make the length of the rod variable; this in terms of ease of packaging and also in terms of the choice of size depending on the height of the Christmas tree.

Die in den Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 dargestellte Variante eines Baumständers zeichnet sich durch das Exzenterglied 11 aus, daß die Stange 5 mit dem Fußteil 12 verbindet. Das Fußteil 12 sitzt in dem Loch 9a des Bodens 4 ein. Zur Verstärkung der Verbindung zwischen der Stange 5 und dem Exzenterglied 11 ist der Steg 13 vorgesehen, der nach Art eines senkrecht stehenden Dreiecks ausgebildet ist (Fig. 6).The variant of a tree stand shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is characterized by the eccentric member 11 that connects the rod 5 to the foot part 12. The foot part 12 sits in the hole 9a of the bottom 4. To strengthen the connection between the rod 5 and the eccentric member 11, the web 13 is provided, which is designed in the manner of a vertical triangle (Fig. 6).

Die Fixierung des Exzenterglieds 11 auf dem Boden 4 des Ständers 1 erfolgt durch die Schraube 15. Durch Verdrehen der Stange 5 und mithin des Fußteils 12 in dem Loch 9a ist der Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Stangen untereinander variabel zu gestalten, so daß auch bei weniger Löchern des Lochmusters immer noch unterschiedlich dicke Baumstämme durch den Ständer aufnehmbar sind.The eccentric member 11 is fixed on the bottom 4 of the stand 1 by means of the screw 15. By rotating the rod 5 and therefore the foot part 12 in the hole 9a, the distance between the individual rods can be made variable, so that even with fewer holes of the hole pattern, tree trunks of different thicknesses can still be picked up by the stand.
