Description

Christmas tree.

Introduction

The invention presented corresponds to a Ornamental object especially significant at Christmas time Although its use is not limited, it can be extended to all The times of the year.

It consists of a solution that evokes the tree of Christmas specially designed for these times when become aware and the appropriate regulations have even been implemented relative to respect for everything that nature offers us.

It is known that at that time they occur numerous abuses by felling fir trees, pines and similar trees with purely mercantile ends being unfortunate that in a moment it interrupt the life of countless trees that have needed years to reach its most elementary development; and all for reasons decorative that last a few days.

It is therefore to emulate this Christmas motive by means of a simple object of easy installation and transport that even, due to its low value, can be destroyed once accomplished its mission but which is also susceptible to being stored  for use in later years.

Sector of the technique to which the invention relates

The invention presented affects the Sector of Current necessities of life, Personal or Domestic Objects, directly affecting the industrial manufacturing sector of decorative items for use in public places, in companies, shopping centers or private homes.

Background of the invention

Ornamental motifs are very common for give an endearing atmosphere at Christmas time both in places public as in shops and homes of all kinds. The ornaments are adorned streets, shop windows hotel lobbies and private homes with various motifs such as nativity scenes, flowers, plants and trees complemented with small decorative details and especially with lighting of different colors.

As for trees, pine trees are typical and small firs that must be cut in the woods with the consequent damage to nature that is aggravated by having in note that these trees, at the end of the holiday season, They end up being thrown into garbage containers.

The authorities have certainly taken some measures to avoid these facts by providing facilities for said Trees are planted when possible.

In any case, these measures, for logical reasons, they will be increasingly restrictive considering the culture Current defense of the natural environment.

That is why the inventor has conceived an idea of the one that does not know antecedents, consisting of replacing the true trees by a simple simulation of them, made of wood, available to all economies and with the advantage of being removable, it can be saved in a short time space, for use in successive years.

Description of the invention

The present invention, as it has remained exposed above, refers to a manufactured Christmas tree artificially to prevent the plundering of forests natural

The invention evokes the classic firs or trees of the coniferous family, and conforms in a way very simple because it consists of only two flat pieces, practically the same, which have a profile similar to those trees and that can be coupled over each other to form a three-dimensional assembly in which others can be installed accessories such as tinsels, colored balls, lighting all kinds, small gift packages and similar little objects weight.

Each piece has some grooves lengths that match the axis of symmetry and that extend, in one of the pieces, from its lower part to the middle of the height and in the other piece, from half its height to Its highest part. These pieces also have holes located in different places of its surface on which They can hook the decorative accessories.

They are preferably made of wood starting from thin panels, plywood type, and they are painted with simulation of tree branches or simply in uniform or combined colors. It is not ruled out, however, its Manufacture in other materials such as plastic, pressed wood or any other similar.

Brief description of the drawings

It includes three figures that are considered sufficient for the understanding of the invention.

Figure one

This figure represents one of the pieces components of the Christmas tree having pointed out what next:

1.1.-

Piece m

2.1.-

Bottom groove

3.-

Orifice.

Figure 2

This figure represents the other piece that composes the Christmas tree having indicated the following:

1.2.-

Piece n

2.2.-

Top slot

3.-

Orifice.

Figure 3

This figure represents the set formed for the two component pieces of the Christmas tree once coupled over each other. They are indicated with the same references of previous figures having schematically represented the right (b) the previous step of the coupling in which the piece m (1.1) slides down on part n (1.2) forming its respective planes an angle of 90 degrees sexagesimal. To left (a) the final aspect of the tree is observed with the two parts already attached.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In an embodiment preferred by the inventor, the Christmas tree (Figs. 1, 2 and 3) consists of a ornamental item that preferably represents a tree of the conifer family, such as pine, fir or cedar and that It consists of two flat pieces, practically the same, called piece m (1.1) and piece n (1.2) whose profile is similar to that tree with the particularity that the piece m (1.1) has a longitudinal groove practiced in the axis of symmetry of said piece, called in this document lower groove (2.1), which is extends from the bottom edge of the piece (1.1) to the point half of its height and piece n (1.2) has another slot, of the same characteristics, also coinciding with its longitudinal axis of symmetry, referred to herein as the upper slot (2.2), which extends from the midpoint of its height to the edge higher. It should be clarified that the widths corresponding to the lower slot (2.1) and the upper slot (2.2) are equal and also coinciding with the thickness of the piece m (1.1) and of the piece n (1.2). In this way, it is possible to fit a piece on the another to form a single three-dimensional set in which the plane of the piece m (1.1) is perpendicular to that of the piece n (1.2) with the result that the set is kept in balance stable presenting the shape of a Christmas tree (Fig. 3). In the Figure 3 (b) schematically depicts how both are prepared pieces for mutual fit so that piece m (1.1) is it places in the high part of the piece n (1.2) so that, coinciding the slots of both, it is possible to slide one over the other making slight pressure The final position is defined by the length of the slots themselves allowing the coincidence of the bases of both pieces in such a way that they rest so sign on a support plane.

Once mounted the tree can be complemented with classic ornaments consisting of tinsels, balls, small packages and colored bulbs, all of which can be fasten over the holes (3).

In principle, the inventor conceives that the tree It is made of plywood although it can also be made with pressed wood, plastic or any other material Similary.

Being piece m (1.1) exactly equal to the piece n (1.2), it is possible to place them one on top of another with which they occupy minimal space, this being the right position for their storage and transport from one place to another. On the other hand we must emphasize the advantage that this tree can be saved from one year to another without any deterioration.

The inventor conceives the painting of the pieces m and n in one or several colors also thinking of a decoration complete through drawings or even by pasting photographs that simulate branches, pineapples, snow etc., to give the tree an appearance more real

Finally we think about the manufacture of trees of different sizes for use in scenarios of greater or lesser dimension.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description for a subject matter expert can understand its scope and the advantages derived from the invention, as well as develop and implement the object of the same.

However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, so which may be subject to change without implying any alteration of the basis of said invention, being able to affect such modifications to the shape, size and / or Manufacturing materials; that is, the terms in which it has remained Exposed this preferred description of the invention, should be always taken with a broad and non-limiting nature.
