Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stand for holding Christmas trees and similar objects such as Parasols, fence posts, flagpoles, barriers and the like more, said items in one Clamp bracket of this stand can be centered should.
  • Such a stand is for example with the object DE-U-94 03 811 become known.
  • the object of the invention is a stand of the beginning mentioned type So that that with essential lower manufacturing costs a more secure attachment of the Object is guaranteed.
  • each Spring body consists of a spring clip that slants towards Attached below to the inner circumference of the holding body and one or more at its respective spring end Has tips, at least the tips radial are directed inwards.
  • the spring clips are in several rows arranged one above the other.
  • a particularly good wedging effect is achieved if the tips are ground like a knife.
  • a such cutting-like grinding is achieved that the lower edge of the respective spring clip is less steep is inclined as comparatively the upper edge, so that a Cutting edge is reached, e.g. a chisel or have other such tools.
  • each spring body consisting essentially of a Spring clip consists of one or more radial tips are directed inward and obliquely downwards, and being several Rows of spring clips are provided one above the other on the holding body.
  • This embodiment also allows multi-part spring bodies, for example, each spring body from a first Spring clip exists on which as a further part with a appropriate attachment attached the respective tip is.
  • the spring clip with its tip to be the only one-piece part.
  • Such a technical teaching comprises a holding body, which is closed in itself and the inside circumference of which mentioned spring body are arranged.
  • this trunk is insoluble in this Holding body added. I.e. he can without further action can no longer be released from the holding body.
  • the object to be held detachably in the holding body is included.
  • the holding body is made of there is at least two partial shells, the hinge-like are hinged to each other so that the partial shells to each other can be opened and closed.
  • the two partial shells then form in the closed state an all-round, closed holding body, while in open state one shell from the other can be pivoted away so as to hold the object to be able to release from the receiving space of the holding body.
  • both the one shell as well as on the other part of the shell Spring bodies are arranged. Accordingly, the one Partial shell swung away from the other, then it is missing holding object when opening the partial shells of the hold, because the spring body with the opening of the shell from the Material of the tree trunk can be pulled out, and onto this The tree trunk can be removed very easily from the holding body be detached.
  • This arrangement therefore requires a hinge axis that approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the object to be held is.
  • the partial shells in a hinge axis are held perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holding object is arranged, i.e. so, this The hinge axis would then be close to the base plate perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the object to be held arranged.
  • the two partial shells would then be approximately can be folded apart in a star shape, which makes results in a particularly large recording space.
  • two or more partial shells are circular segment shaped and not with each other are directly connected; then they become only one closed holding body assembled and by one or several tensioning straps lying on the outer circumference held together.
  • the present invention is not limited to any particular one Shape of the holding body limited.
  • the holding body can have an approximately tubular configuration be formed, both a circular cylindrical tube as well as hexagonal tubes, oval tubes, square tubes or the like Pipes can be used.
  • the holding body 1 consists of essentially of two partial shells 2, 3, which are essentially are tubular.
  • Each partial shell 2, 3 is here designed as a semicircular tube; the two semicircular tubes are hinged together.
  • the one another opposite hinges 4,5 are each as Piano hinge trained and exist in known per se Way from hinge sleeves 9,10 (see Figure 3), wherein in axial distance from one another on the one half shell 2 mutually aligned hinge sleeves 9 are attached with the corresponding, on the other shell 3 arranged, complement hinge sleeves 19.
  • Figure 3 is a (not shown) locking pin inserted through the hinge 4 while he is in Hinge 5 was pulled. In this way it is possible the two partial shells 2, 3 in the direction of the arrow 11 and in To make the opposite direction pivotable to each other.
  • Partial shell 3 of the bottom 7 is formed, which in itself a known way up in its central area directed tip 8 carries.
  • the second Partial shell 2 can then be pivoted away with little effort.
  • Embodiment it is provided that the holding body 1 in a ceramic bowl or the like with corresponding Holding elements is used, so that the said Christmas tree stand sits in a water bath and thus water can be introduced to the trunk of the Christmas tree in order to to keep it fresh longer.
  • Spring body 12 consists essentially of a spring clip 13 at its front end in one down and inside inward tip 17 merges.
  • the spring clip 13 and the Tip 17 from a one-piece, uniform material Material, e.g. a stainless spring steel, the spring steel having a thickness of e.g. 1.2 mm.
  • each spring clip 13 with corresponding fastenings 14 on the inner circumference of the shell 2,3 is attached and that in each row at least two each other opposite spring body 12 in the receiving space of the Holding body 1 are arranged to attach to both opposite sides in the trunk of the to be held To dig into the object.
  • three can also be in each row opposite spring body can be arranged, which then in Angle of 120 ° to each other on the inner circumference of the holding body are distributed.
  • the spring clips 13 are preferably in the downward direction and inward straight line 15 on the inner circumference of the Partial shells 2,3 attached, the angle 16 in the area can be between 10 ° and 60 °.
  • the respective tip 17 of the Spring clip 13 is designed like a blade, as shown in Figure 4 is shown in more detail.
  • the Top edge 19 compared to the lower edge 18 an angle 20
  • the Bottom edge 18 runs flat than the top edge 19, all the more so to form a cutting edge 18 formed like a blade. It a chisel-like cutting edge is created, which is in the kind of a wood chisel in the material to be held Item buries.
  • the length 21 of the spring clips 13 is relatively arbitrary. she can be a length of e.g. have in the range between 40 to 80 mm.
  • FIG. 5 In the embodiment of Figure 5 is a different shape a holding body 22 shown where it can be seen that an upper ring 23 arranged the spring body 12 are.
  • the ring 23 is via vertically extending rods 25 with the bottom 7 connected.
  • the opening mechanisms previously described provided. Either is the ring 23 divided and consists of several Partial shells that can be pivoted over the hinges 4.5 are interconnected, or it's a segmental Ring given by an encircling, graphic not shown, strap is held together.
  • the ring 23 is divided into two and instead of the hinge 4,5 described above (with a Hinge axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the to be held Subject) a hinge 26, 27 is present, the Hinge axis approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the to be held Object runs. This would then be the one above called - consisting of several partial rings - ring 23 can be unfolded like a star.
  • the Holding body as a triangular body or as a hexagonal body is designed to perpendicular to the existing scraps to be able to put on the outer surfaces of the holding body 1.
  • Such a holding body 1 in a water trough used there is the further advantage that Dig the tips 17 into the material of the tree trunk Water better and with higher efficiency to the tree trunk can be introduced and the tree longer keeps fresh.
