PATENT APPLICATION

in Luxemburg

in the name of: Rudolf BREITSCH for: "Baumscheibe" J 1 - 1 -

Tree slice 1. The invention relates to a so-called tree slice with a mountable tree holder.

Although, strictly speaking, "tree slice" refers to the free floor area around the tree to be protected, this term now usually includes all measures around the recessed area 10 - be it in a circular, square or rectangular design - with which the adjacent areas of the Plant pit should be protected in particular from soil compaction. This is especially necessary for new plantings in traffic areas, such as streets and squares. 1

For this purpose, tree grates have been developed, for example, from steel pipes or concrete, reinforced concrete elements or segments in the most varied of dimensions, designs and embodiments, with more or less extensive depending on the size of the elements / segments in place Laying work 25 are required. These include the installation of perforated panels for tree posts and irrigation shafts. The elements / segments / grates / panes usually contain ventilation holes. So that large, and therefore relatively heavy, parts do not already compress the soil by laying their own weight, they are placed on support foundations, or the disks have foundation studs.

- 2 -

This work is carried out immediately after planting, whereby you want to get by with elements that are as identical as possible. Since the outside dimensions of tree grates must be at least 2.0-2.5 m, 5 in order to effectively protect the root area, it often happens that even when closely fitting tree grids that are close together they are damaged by driving on construction site vehicles and in particular are then inoperative if the soil is not immediately loosened again.

However, such impairments must always be expected if the streets and squares are opened to traffic after completion.

15

The risk is increased if the tree grates are level with the environment. This has the further disadvantage that surface contaminated water can reach the planting area unhindered via the ventilation holes and break points.

3. The invention seeks to remedy this. In particular, it should be excluded that the soil of the planting pit is solidified by external influences; it should be ensured that the tree disk is not destroyed even by driving on it. It is also required that no surface contaminated water gets into the planting area. In addition, it should be achieved that the laying work can be completed in the shortest possible time. Finally, it is important that the tree disk is also visually appealing »’ - 3 - and does not act as a foreign body in its environment.

4. These various requirements are met together in accordance with the measures proposed with the invention, as found in the claims, which are hereby repeated and are also part of the description. In contrast to previous practice, the 10 tree disc can be installed and released for landscaping in a very short time, in detail: For new plantings, the prefabricated tree disc is a 1-part unit in the dimensions of the planting pit to be covered. It consists of 2 layers, a reinforced concrete precast with an opening for planting and a surface covering arranged on the precast reinforced concrete, preferably made of hard stone paving or another material of the desired color, hardness and

Structure. Advantageously, an upturn of the inner edge region forms a barrier both against the inflow of contaminated water and against unintended access to the open planting area.

25th

A filling opening in the form of a water slide cap for irrigation and fertilization, which is connected via a T-piece to a 30 ring irrigation line, which is stored in brackets below the precast reinforced concrete part, is integrated in the tree disc in the immediate vicinity of the upstand , the latter being designed and designed such that they are also suitable as transport supports and stack supports. Thanks to this line routing, rapid evaporation is counteracted in the dry season by irrigation below the surface.

5 Stop brackets, preferably 4, are releasably attached at equal intervals over the inner circumference of the prefabricated reinforced concrete part. These stop brackets form receptacles for struts of a Ge-10 stells, the retaining ring with opening for inserting and fastening the tree is at the required height above the ground. The frame is made up of struts and the retaining ring, which can be adjusted in height.

15 The frame itself can be adjusted vertically in the stop brackets if the tree pane is laid at an angle to the horizontal. The brackets are designed so that they can also serve as transport brackets. Both the frame and the stop brackets can be assembled, are made of hot-dip galvanized steel (tube) and can be reused.

For trees that have already been planted, the tree disc 25 is made in two parts, the two halves in the

Laying in the area of the joints on two additional in-situ concrete foundations; the ring irrigation line is closed via connectors.

It is understood that the tree disc according to the invention, including the additional parts such as irrigation pipe, brackets and the like, the 30th

IV

- 5 - 't can be adapted to individual requirements.

5. The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings of a preferred exemplary embodiment 5:

They show in perspective

Figure 1 shows the tree disk along with stop brackets for a tubular steel frame and

In-situ concrete foundation (from above),

FIG. 2 the stop bracket, FIG. 3 the tubular steel frame,

Figure 4 shows the tree slice along with ring line and

Accessories (from below).

20 a) A surface covering 2, preferably made of hard stone paving, is applied to a prefabricated reinforced concrete prefabricated part 1 which is matched to the dimensions of the respective planting pit. The surface covering has a raised edge 3 in the area of the inner edge (FIG. 1).

The tree disk also has a filling opening 4 for watering and fertilizing the tree in the form of a commercially available water slide cap, which 30 is provided with a perforated connection piece 5

Ring line 6 is connected, which is held in brackets 7 below the reinforced concrete precast 1. These brackets 7 are designed so that they are “t * 6” at the same time distance and stack supports when storing and transporting the finished part or the tree disc (FIG. 4).

5 Stop brackets 8, preferably 4, for a 4-braced tubular steel frame 9 are attached to the inner circumference of the prefabricated reinforced concrete part 1 as a tree holder via fastening means located in bores 8.1. The upper part of the stop handle 10 is connected to the lower part, in the form of a metal plate 8.3, by means of a hanging eye 8.2. A detachable steel ring 8.4 (FIG. 2) is located within the upper part of the stop bracket 8, which is only open upwards and downwards. 15

This bracket 8 also forms a receptacle for the struts 9.1 of the 4-braced tubular steel frame 9, which has a holding ring 9.2 with an opening 9.3 in its upper part (FIG. 3).

20 Both the steel bracket 8 and the tubular steel frame 9 are hot-dip galvanized.

The tree grates with all the accessories can be prefabricated and stacked to save space at the manufacturer, where they are available including the tree holder if necessary.

b) A planting pit is dug at the place of planting and a foundation 10 is placed, 30 which absorbs the loads outside the planting pit. Then the tree slice can be level with its - 7 -

Environment. The tubular steel frame 9 is mounted in the stop bracket part 8, possibly by rotating it over the holes 8.1, so that it is vertical 5 as a tree bracket. The struts 9.1 are tightened via the steel rings 8.4.

c) Afterwards the gardening work can be carried out undisturbed by any construction site operation. Around the root ball of the newly planted tree, the planting pit with suitable soil falls into disrepair, and the upper area of the tree is inserted through the opening 9.3 into the retaining ring 9.2, to which it is attached with hemp ropes.

15 d) As soon as the tree bracket is unnecessary, tubular steel frame 9 and the associated stop brackets 8 can be dismantled and reused.

20th

In this way it is achieved that the entire tree slice can be prefabricated, prepared and made available on demand as a compact structural unit with all the necessary functional parts, without lengthy and traffic-disturbing construction and laying work having to be carried out. Planting and watering are possible immediately.

Another advantage is that the production of 3aumschei.be can be carried out regardless of the weather, ie at times, 30 "I fc - δ - in which, due to the weather, no outside work can be carried out. In this way, extensive planting times can also be carried out in autumn Projects are completed in a very short time, 5 whereby in contrast to previous practice, the horticultural design forms the conclusion.

The surface of the tree pane can also be designed centrally, as standard in an economical and technically advantageous manner, for example in natural stone facing, which can be driven on thanks to the reinforced concrete prefabricated part underneath, so that the non-accessible area can be kept as small as possible without that the planting area is consolidated or that harmful water can flow in or that the tree disc is destroyed.
