Definitions
- the present invention relates to an assembly for mounting a platform
- the mounted platform according to the invention was originally designed for fitment to a Christmas tree to allow a conventional model train to be located on the platform. The train being free to orbit the Christmas tree adding movement to the static tree display.
- the mounted platform according to the invention also allows addition of add on accessories to expand the product. These add on accessories include; an internal platform extension plate, branch supporting tunnel and track extension.
- the internal platform extension plate allows scenes to be added within the tree and any problem branches (on a living tree) can be lifted and supported by the tunnel, which saves the problem branch from being removed and adds to the ambience of the decoration.
- the track extension allows for an additional track to be added to the platform to further enhance the decoration.
- the mounted platform assembly of the invention has the advantage that it is much more versatile than the system shown and described in
- the system proposed by the invention can be used in combination with many different track systems and vehicles.
- the platform may be modified, for example by addition of a central groove or pair of grooves (often required by many existing vehicles) or to allow addition of magnets, both of which are required in the vehicle systems described in the prior art referenced above.
- the mounted platform assembly of the invention also allows the user to use the assembly as the basis for a much more decorative system, even adding a second track to the original.
- the system of the invention allows the user to add a train, car or other vehicle that can obit within the canopy of a Christmas tree and a tunnel assembly may also be provided to overcome the problem of branches obstructing or interfering with the orbiting vehicle when added to a tree.
- the mounted platform assembly of the invention has the advantage that the system can be mounted either way up, i.e. supported from the bottom of (underneath) the platform or suspended from the top of (above) the platform.
- the present invention provides a platform assembly that is built from a centre clamp, which is located around a post or tree trunk.
- the centre clamp is formed from at least two segments, which are joined together around the post or trunk. Once detachably joined together, the hole in the centre of the clamp has clearance around the post or trunk, so that the clamp can be used on multiple diameters.
- the centre clamp serves two important functions; to secure the whole platform assembly rigidly on the post or trunk and to allow the adjustment necessary to orientate and maintain horizontal alignment of the platform.
- the clamp includes adjustment means that can be operated to adjust the pitch and roll of the platform to achieve its horizontal position before the clamp is secured to the trunk or post to fix this position.
- the adjustment of the clamp allows the system to be fitted to a living tree as well as an artificial tree or post.
- the adjustment means may take many different forms, which will be well-known to the person skilled in the art.
- the clamp segments may accommodate a number of bolts or fixings that can be adjusted independently.
- one clamp segment accommodates a single bolt or fixing to allow a user to secure the clamp to the post or trunk and the opposite clamp segment accommodates multiple bolts or fixings to allow a user to adjust the pitch and roll of the clamp and thereby the attached platform.
- the clamp may advantageously have additional components to cradle the trunk or post.
- one side of the clamp has one bolt or fixing centred and in the middle of the clamp segment.
- These bolts or fixings allow a user to secure the clamp to the post or trunk with the single bolt, and adjust the pitch and roll of the clamp using the four bolts or fixings.
- the user has to loosen the single bolt or fixing and then adjust either the upper or lower of the four bolts or fixings to obtain the required position before tightening the single bolt or fixing to secure this position.
- the two opposing segments are identical, each having five bolt holes.
- This duplication of parts provides both ease of manufacture and cost benefits.
- the platform may be provided by multiple platform segments, again all of the same design, which snap fit together by any of the means common to those skilled in the art.
- a plurality of support brackets are mounted on the centre clamp assembly at one end and the support brackets hold the platform at the other end.
- the minimum number of support brackets required to support the platform is three. However, more support brackets can be used if required, up to a maximum of eight. The number of support brackets largely depends on the size and mass of the platform and associated items mounted thereon.
- the support brackets may be curved, to allow the platform assembly to distribute the mass it carries without collapse and also to allow the support brackets to be hidden amongst the branches when mounted into a tree. To allow the platform assembly to distribute the mass it carries without collapse, the support brackets could equally be straight and/or angled, but they would not be hidden as well if mounted into a tree.
- the centre clamp assembly can be arranged above the platform with the support brackets depending therefrom, allowing the platform to be suspended from above.
- the platform can be made of multiple segments and joined together on assembly. It can be shaped, round or oval and round or oval shaped platforms allow for another platform to be added to the original. This allows additional track systems to be added to the platform assembly.
- the track systems can be a train track, car racing track or the like and each is preferably located using features on the platform or support brackets to keep its desired position and placement.
- the platform can be sized and manufactured to allow standard track layouts to be used and the current, tested embodiment is round in shape and sized to accept a circular track made from the 1 st radius curves from a oo scale model train set. It is envisioned that other diameters may be designed to allow larger radius track to be used and other scales of model such as n scale (smaller than oo) etc.
- the platform assembly according to the invention has the major advantage that it can be augmented by accessories that clip onto the platform around its edge.
- the single tunnel accessory clips to the outside of the platform and snaps in place with a 'snap' feature or locates on a feature around the outer edge of the platform and multiple tunnel accessories can be added to one platform where required.
- One use for adding the tunnel accessory is to allow branches of a Christmas tree (or similar) to be supported, which would otherwise be obstructing the path of the orbiting vehicle, for example a train or car.
- the addition of this feature also adds character and charm to the system.
- the internal platform extension plate may use one or more support arms that clip radially onto the inside of the platform and once the support arm/s are fitted the platform extension plate can be added.
- the platform extension plate is located on features of the support arms.
- the platform extension plate may have one or more integral support arm/s. This accessory allows the addition of scenes and the scenes can be whatever the user desires. Multiple platform extension plates can be added to the main platform to allow a full 360° coverage.
- the track extension accessory comprises an additional platform that is larger in diameter than the original platform and sits on the top edge thereof.
- This accessory allows for the addition of a second track of larger diameter than the first and this allows two systems of trains, cars or other vehicles to run at the same time.
- the track extension platform has features around its circumference to ensure if a track system is added it locates concentrically to the centre clamp. When this accessory is used, the single tunnel accessory is no longer used and a dual tunnel accessory is used in its place.
- the dual tunnel accessory is mounted to the track extension platform in the same way as the single tunnel accessory is mounted to the original single platform.
