Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tree stand, in particular a Christmas tree stand, the stand having a floor for receiving the tree trunk.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the length of the rods is variable. This can be achieved in that the rods are either divisible or extendable telescopically.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the rods are eccentric and rotatable, each of which can be received through a hole in the hole pattern.
  • 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.
  • a web is advantageously provided, which can be designed in the manner of a triangle and is arranged vertically on the eccentric member.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the rod 5 is anchored in the hole 9a by means of a threaded connection 10.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the web 13 is provided, which is designed in the manner of a vertical triangle (Fig. 6).
  • the eccentric member 11 is fixed on the bottom 4 of the stand 1 by means of the screw 15.
  • 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.
