Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stand for clamping mast or rod-shaped parts according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic Christmas tree stand is in the DE 10 2013 009 486 B3 described.
  • the Indian DE 10 2013 009 486 B3 The stand described has a water level indicator which comprises a buoyant body which is arranged in a guide channel, the guide channel protruding into a receiving space of the stand housing and being fluidly connected to it. If there is no or too little water in the housing of the Christmas tree stand, the buoyancy body experiences little or no buoyancy force, so that an upper side of the buoyancy body runs flush with an outer surface of the housing. By filling water into the receiving space of the housing, the guide channel is also filled with water so that the buoyancy body experiences a buoyancy force, whereby the buoyancy body is lifted and the upper side of the buoyancy body protrudes from the outer surface of the housing. If the buoyant body protrudes from the outer surface of the housing, there is enough water in the receiving space of the housing Stand so that a Christmas tree held by the stand is supplied with water.
  • the water level indicator from the DE 10 2013 009 486 B3 known Christmas tree stand has various disadvantages.
  • the visibility of the water level indicator is not necessarily given because the water level indicator can, for example, be covered by a branch of the Christmas tree held by the stand.
  • the buoyant body protrudes slightly from the outer surface of the housing, so that a user of the Christmas tree stand fills it with water, even though the Christmas tree held by the stand is supplied with enough water.
  • the water level indicator from the DE 10 2013 009 486 B3 known Christmas tree stand has the disadvantage that the buoyancy body can tilt in the guide channel, so that despite sufficient water level within the receiving space of the stand, the user continues to fill water into the Christmas tree stand, as a result of which water can escape from the Christmas tree stand.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing an improved stand for clamping mast or rod-shaped parts which does not have the disadvantages described above.
  • the object on which the present invention is based is achieved by a stand for clamping pole- or rod-shaped parts, in particular Christmas trees, the stand having a housing, at least two holding elements adjoining a receiving space for receiving the pole- or rod-shaped part, a safety device and a flexible power transmission device.
  • the holding elements are arranged angularly offset about a central axis of the receiving space and can each be pivoted about a pivot axis away from the central axis in the direction of a release position and towards the central axis in the direction of a fixing position.
  • the force transmission device leads from the safety device to the holding elements, which are coupled in motion to the safety device by means of the force transmission device, with the force transmission device being pulled and/or subjected to a force in a pulling direction towards the safety device by transferring the safety device from an unlocked position in the direction of a safety position, so that the Safety device by means of the power transmission device counteracts a pivoting of the holding elements in the direction of the release position or prevents them.
  • the stand according to the invention has a fill level sensor that protrudes into the receiving space of the housing for determining a liquid fill level in the receiving space, the fill level sensor being electrically connected to an electrical display device arranged on an outside of the housing, so that fill level information that can be displayed by means of the display device is linked to a level indicated by the fill level sensor determined liquid level correlates.
  • the stand according to the invention is characterized in that the luminous display device is embedded in a recess of the housing, and that the stand has a cover for covering the recess.
  • the stand according to the invention has improved reliability with regard to determining the degree to which its receiving space is filled.
  • the stand according to the invention has improved accuracy when determining the degree to which it is filled with water.
  • the stand according to the invention also has improved visibility of the degree of filling of the stand or its receiving space.
  • the fill level sensor is designed as a capacitive fill level sensor or as a conductive fill level sensor or as an ultrasonic fill level sensor. There are no restrictions with regard to the design of the filling level sensor, as long as filling level information determined by the filling level sensor can be transmitted electrically to the display device.
  • the filling level sensor is preferably data-coupled to the electrical display device.
  • the pivot axes about which the holding elements can be pivoted between their release position and their fixing position are designed as horizontal pivot axes or pivot axes with a horizontal component to the central axis.
  • the safety device can, for example, comprise a carriage guided in the base plate, which has a smaller distance to the central axis of the stand in the safety position than in its unlocked position. The force transmission device is thus pulled in the direction of the carriage when the carriage is transferred from the unlocked position into the safety position.
  • a prestressed roller for winding and unwinding the force transmission device can also be provided, for example.
  • the security device be designed as a ratchet known to those skilled in the art.
  • the safety device can also be referred to as a tensioning device for tensioning the force transmission device. According to the invention, there are no restrictions with regard to the design of the security device.
  • the power transmission device leads to all holding elements.
  • the power transmission device can, for example, only comprise a tensioning cable which, starting from the safety device, leads to all the holding elements.
  • one tensioning cable leads to one half of the holding elements, whereas the other tensioning cable leads to the other half of the holding elements.
  • the force transmission device it is also conceivable for the force transmission device to have a number of force transmission elements corresponding to the number of retaining elements, for example in the form of tensioning cables, with each tensioning cable then leading to only a single retaining element.
  • Visible light is light with a wavelength in the wavelength range from 400nm to 700nm.
  • the stand is designed in such a way that the illuminated display device has a plurality of luminous elements. More preferably, the stand is designed in such a way that the respective lighting elements are designed as light-emitting diodes.
  • the filling level sensor and the display device of the correspondingly designed stand can be operated over a long period of time with electricity from a battery arranged in the housing of the stand, since light-emitting diodes consume less energy than other light-emitting elements (e.g. incandescent lamps).
  • light-emitting diodes consume less energy than other light-emitting elements (e.g. incandescent lamps).
  • the stand is designed such that the light-emitting display device has a first number of first light-emitting elements for emitting light in a first wavelength range and a second number of second light-emitting elements for emitting light in a second wavelength range.
  • the information as to whether there is enough water in the receiving space is visible in a simplified way. This is because the second light-emitting elements are only active and emit light when the fill level in the receiving space is below a predetermined target fill level.
  • the stand is designed in such a way that the light-emitting display device is designed in such a way that at least a first light-emitting element emits light when the liquid level in the receiving space is above a predetermined minimum level.
  • the stand is designed in such a way that the light-emitting display device is designed in such a way that at least one second light-emitting element emits light when the liquid level in the receiving space is below a predetermined minimum level.
  • the stand is designed in such a way that the first wavelength range is between 490 nm and 560 nm and the second wavelength range is between 630 nm and 700 nm.
  • the information as to whether there is enough water in the receiving space is visible in a simplified manner, since red light can be distinguished very well from green light.
  • the stand is designed in such a way that the stand has a transmission device for the wireless transmission of filling level information.
  • filling level information can be transmitted to an external display device, in particular to a mobile terminal device (for example a cell phone).
  • a mobile terminal device for example a cell phone
  • the object on which the present invention is based is also achieved by a stand system with a stand according to claim 9 and a terminal, the terminal being designed to receive and display the fill level information transmitted by the transmitting device of the stand.
  • figure 1 is a schematic spatial representation of a stand according to the invention.
  • the stand 1 according to the invention and also to be referred to as a Christmas tree stand 1 comprises a housing 10 which in turn comprises a housing base 11 or a base plate 11 and a housing cover 12 .
  • the housing cover 12 is connected to the base plate 11 in a fluid-tight manner, so that the housing 10 is suitable for receiving water, so that a Christmas tree to be held by the stand 1 can be supplied with water.
  • a water level indicator 70 is provided in the housing cover 12, which has a float.
  • the stand 1 also includes a safety device 30 which can also be referred to as a tensioning device 30 .
  • the safety device 30 has a safety lever 31 or a tensioning lever 31, by means of which a tensioning roller (not visible in the figures) can be actuated.
  • the securing device 30 is designed as a tensioning ratchet 30 known to those skilled in the art.
  • the stand 1 has a force transmission device 40 which is designed as a tension cable 40 in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • the holding elements 20 are arranged angularly offset about the central axis 19' and can each be pivoted about a pivot axis away from the central axis 19' in the direction of the release position and onto the central axis 19' in the direction of the fixing position.
  • the tensioning cable 40 leads from the safety device 30 to the respective holding elements 20 which in turn are coupled for movement to the safety device 30 by means of the tensioning cable 40 .
  • the respective holding elements 20 have lead-through openings 21 through which the tensioning cable 40 is passed.
  • the tensioning cable 40 is pulled in a pulling direction towards the safety device 30, so that the safety device 30 by means of the tensioning cable 40 prevents the holding elements from pivoting 20 counteracts in the direction of a release position.
  • the display device 60 is designed as a light display device 60 and has several light-emitting elements 61 , 62 , 63 which are arranged on a circuit board of the light-emitting display device 60 .
  • the light-emitting elements 61, 62, 63 are designed as light-emitting diodes 61, 62, 63, with first light-emitting elements 61 being designed to emit light in a first wavelength range between 490 nm and 560 nm, and with second light-emitting elements 62 being designed to emit light in a second Emit wavelength range between 630nm and 700nm. Consequently, the first light-emitting diodes 61 emit green light, whereas the second light-emitting diodes 62 emit red light.
  • the display device 60 is designed in such a way that when the housing 10 is completely filled with water, all the light elements, ie both the first light elements 61 and the second light elements 62, emit light.
  • all the light elements ie both the first light elements 61 and the second light elements 62.
  • individual first light-emitting elements 61 will initially no longer emit any light.
  • the second light-emitting elements 62 which emit red light in the exemplary embodiment shown, light up.
  • the user can easily see that the level inside the housing 10 is no longer sufficient, so that the stand 1 can be filled with new water.
  • a battery compartment is arranged in the depression 14, in which two batteries 80 are arranged in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • a further cover 17 is provided to open up the battery compartment.
  • the illuminated display device 60 with the first light-emitting diodes 61 and the second light-emitting diodes 62 is shown together with the level sensor 50 .
