Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a false tree by kitting an artificial garden tree having sufficient strength avoiding break even if being weathered by wind and rain in the open air so as to easily assemble at home, and making the kit suitable for distribution and sellable at hardware store or by online shopping. <P>SOLUTION: This false tree is obtained by erecting on the ground, a fixing support made by connecting several supports divided into a proper size, and winding a belt-like vinyl sheet stamped and colored or printed with a pattern imitating a bark surface around the support so as to shape a trunk. In more details, the belt-like vinyl sheet is fixed not by directly winding around the fixing support but by winding around a crossbeam attached to the support. When winding, an insertion hole to insert and fix a branch on the end of the crossbeam, and an insertion hole of the belt-like vinyl sheet are joined together, and wound, and an artificial branch made of plastic is inserted into the insertion hole and fixed so as to complete the artificial tree. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a pseudo tree made of a tree such as a garden tree or a row of trees, not a living tree, but an artificial object.

  Having a garden tree in the house is preferable for the scenery, and it is a place where residents want to plant a garden tree, but it takes a long time to grow a garden tree, and even if planting an adult tree, Due to the difficulty, it is difficult to cultivate grown garden trees in urban houses and the like, and it is convenient to have artificial trees.

  Light-weight artificial trees such as foliage plants that decorate indoors are very popular, but in the case of Zyze, which has a relatively thick trunk tree, it is a strong surface in an environment where it continues to be exposed to wind and rain outdoors. Therefore, since it could not endure practical use for a long time and there was a risk of debris and the like being damaged when damaged, it was hardly spread.

  Other than foliage plants, there are artificial palm trees in which a tree pole is directly attached to a metal pole in an amusement facility such as an amusement park. However, it has not spread widely as a garden tree because of cost and distribution.

  The present invention has been made in view of this point. The trunk, branch trunk, and branches and leaves have sufficient strength, are not damaged even when exposed to wind and rain for a long time, and are generally used as garden trees having a relatively large diameter. It is an artificial tree that can withstand outdoor use and is inexpensive, compact, and easy to assemble.

  A vinyl with several struts divided into appropriate lengths connected and fixed to the ground, and arm braces attached to the struts in a detachable manner, and embossed patterns on the surface resembling the bark. A tree-like pseudo-bark sheet is wound around this support in a spiral shape to form a trunk.

  Alternatively, a plastic shield-like pseudo-bark block that is engraved and printed with a concavo-convex pattern on the surface to resemble the bark, or a cylindrical pseudo-tree trunk bark block that has a circular shape of the trunk is fixed to this column. Sculpt the trunk.

  An artificial tree is formed by inserting and fixing an artificial branch and an artificial leaf made of artificial leaves into the trunk thus shaped.

  The bark sheet made of vinyl has a belt-like shape, and the bark block or the arc shield-like material is fixed to a support column to form a tree trunk.

  Join the pipe-shaped connecting struts divided into several tens of centimeters, stand on the ground, attach the arm to this, and attach the arm to this arm with a strip-like vinyl sheet or plastic piece with screws etc. By locking, the trunk is shaped, and unlike conventional metal poles, it is not heavy and long and can be easily assembled and made lightweight.

  By inserting and fixing artificial branches, which are also made of vinyl or plastic, a lightweight and durable artificial tree can be easily completed.

  The length and thickness of the braces can be changed arbitrarily, so the height and thickness can be adjusted arbitrarily, and it is easy to make things with different bark surface shapes, branch tree shapes, etc. This artificial tree can be realized as a garden tree.

  By combining the above-mentioned connection-type struts, arms, pseudo-bark block or pseudo-bark block sheet, and artificial branch tree into parts, packing them in a size suitable for distribution as a kit, and selling them at home centers and online, cheap and easy In addition, garden trees can be realized in ordinary households.

  Using the figure below, a brace 150 having a bark fixing hole 154 and a branch tree insertion hole 156 at the tip is attached to a strut that stands on the ground by connecting a number of connected struts 100, and resembling a bark. A description will be given of an embodiment of the present invention that constitutes a tree trunk formed by winding a belt-like vinyl sheet 200 (hereinafter referred to as a pseudo-bark sheet 200) that is engraved and colored on its surface.

  Several struts 100 having arm mounting holes 105 for fitting and fixing the arm 150 to the circumferential surface are connected to each other and inserted into a strut fixing tool 500 fixed to the ground by an anchor A to be fixed. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixed support | pillar used as the foundation which continues standing stably even if exposed to a wind and rain stands on the ground.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the arm 150 is attached to the support 100 in a radial manner. If the length of each support 150 is gradually shortened toward the top of the support 100, the pseudo bark is obtained. When the sheet 200 is wound, the bottom is thick and the top is thin, resulting in a shape like a trunk of a real tree.

  Also, by adjusting the length of the arm 150, the diameter of the entire trunk can be adjusted, so that artificial trees of various sizes can be constructed.

  FIG. 3 is an example in which the pseudo-bark sheet 200 is wound in a spiral shape, but is a diagram in which the pseudo-bark sheet 200 that is transparent without being colored is wound for clarity of explanation. Of course, for practical use, a bark pattern is engraved and colored. After the end of winding and fixing with a screw, the waterproof cap 180 is put on the upper end.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the wound sheet is fixed to the bark fixing hole 154 at the tip of the arm 150 with a screw. When fixing, a branch through which the branch tree 300 passes through the pseudo-bark sheet 200. The tree insertion hole 205 and the branch tree insertion hole 156 are aligned and fixed.

  Since the tree trunk thus formed exposes the branch tree insertion hole 156, the branch tree 300 composed of the leaf 355 made of vinyl and the child branch 350 is inserted and fitted into the figure. The artificial tree is completed as shown in FIG. 5, but the branch tree 300 is fixed more firmly by screwing or bonding with an adhesive.

  Instead of wrapping the pseudo bark in a strip shape, it is possible to easily form a trunk even if it is attached as a shield-like block, and FIG. 6 shows that the pseudo-bark is made into a shield-like bark block 250 as shown in FIG. It is an example attached to the column 100. In addition, it is possible to easily form a trunk even if a cylindrical block having a pseudo bark cut into a circular shape is fixed.

  FIG. 7 is a view of the present invention in which the support column 100 has a nested structure and the support fixture 500 is foldably attached. In the present invention, as shown in the figure, the column fixing device 500 is expanded and fixed to the ground, and the entire column is simply stretched and screwed, so that the column can be easily erected from the ground. become.
