Definitions
- the invention relates to Christmas tree lighting according to the preamble of Claim 1.
- Christmas tree lighting of this type is known (US 4,516,193).
- the well-known Christmas tree lighting essentially comprises a two-core trunk, the is laid on the trunk of a tree and that in predetermined fixed Line distances ring-shaped connecting elements, which the trunk of Tree can be attached to this and then attached to it further connector elements electrical candle or lamp groups can be connected are.
- the latter are each designed so that all lamps or candles of this Lamp group are provided on a common line, the one Plug can be connected to an annular connecting element of the riser.
- connection elements on the trunk be provided at a predetermined distance in order to create a loose and thus optical to avoid disruptive hanging of the sections of the trunk line from the trunk. It is also necessary to place the candles or lamps of each group of candles in the Arrangement to be provided on the tree by the arrangement of these lamps or Candles is provided on the common line of the lamp or candle group.
- the well-known Christmas tree lighting is therefore mainly for an artificial one Christmas tree determines where the distance of the branches on the trunk, the number of branches and whose course and size are already predetermined by the production and in this respect an adaptation of the Christmas tree lighting to the most varied Tree shapes are not required.
- the object of the invention is to show a Christmas tree lighting that can be particularly easily and easily assembled. To solve this problem is one Christmas tree lighting designed according to protection claim 1.
- the Christmas tree lighting according to the invention is special due to its design easy to install.
- the Master line attached to the Christmas tree trunk the formation of the Master line in which the second electrical connection elements Section as a spiral line has the advantage that the main line by stretching or relaxation can be brought to the required length and also the Distances between the second electrical connection elements to the respective Conditions can be easily adjusted.
- the trunk line is attached to the tree trunk.
- the candle groups connected to the main line, but only for each group a first electrical connection element with a second electrical Connection element must be connected.
- the Christmas tree lighting shown in the figure consists of several electric candles 1, each with a lamp 2 and one in the form of a candle simulated housing 3, which in its lower end also with a Bracket for attachment to a branch or branch of a Christmas tree is provided.
- the lamps 2 are each low-voltage lamps, which are exchangeably attached to the housing.
- a group G1-G5 of candles 1, i.e. in the illustrated embodiment, four or five candles 1 are over Connection wires 4 connected to a common two-pin connector 5, and in such a way that the lamps 2 of this group are connected in parallel.
- the lead wires 4 have one from group to group different length, i.e. in the uppermost group G1 in the figure, the Connection wires 4 kept short and in the lower group in the figure G5 possess the connecting wires 4 have a much greater length.
- the main line 6 is in the form of a spiral spiral line or formed as a spiral cord.
- sockets 8 are provided, in each of which a plug 5 fits, namely such that, after the plug 5 has been plugged into the socket 8, the lamps 2 the relevant group G1 - G5 in parallel to the two wires of the main line 6 are connected.
- fastening means are provided on section 6 ' with which this section 6 'are attached to a trunk of a Christmas tree can.
- the fastening means are Velcro strips 9th
- the transformer 7 can be connected on the primary side to the mains supply voltage, by means of a plug.
- the Christmas tree lighting described enables a particularly simple Installation.
- a spiral cord can not only be the length of section 6' slightly adjust the respective height of the trunk, but also the distance between the individual sockets 8 can the respective circumstances by appropriate stretching or relaxation of the spiral cord Section 7 'can be set.
- the individual groups of candles G1 - G5 can be installed by plugging them in of the respective plug 5 to a plug socket 8 and by distributing the candles 1 in the desired form.
- the Velcro strips 9 are both on the Section 6 'between two sockets 8 and one each Plug socket 8 is provided so that the latter is optimally attached to the tree trunk can be.
