Definitions

Christmas tree stands in various designs are from practice known out.
Setting up a tree using such stands hides usually several problems: there are to set up and align two people needed; the tree stumps usually have to fit be made; the toggle screws offer only small contact surfaces for the fingers and are therefore difficult to turn; and the water supply is either not guaranteed at all or only marginally.
a stand is known in which the tree trunk to be fastened in a slotted sleeve is guided, a wedge-shaped Displacement body in the manner of a union nut on the outer circumference the sleeve is screwed on and by its wedge-shaped displacement profile radially arranged press jaws pushing towards the tree trunk. Through the the pressing jaws moving radially inwards will be in the sleeve led tree trunk finally pinched and fixed.
This too Tree stand is disadvantageous that in the event of a deviation in the cross-section of the tree trunk of the circular shape an uneven contact of the press jaws and therefore an insufficient fastening on the one hand and a not completely vertical one On the other hand, alignment takes place.
Christmas tree stands are also known, e.g. according to EP 419 972 A, with one on the base plate arranged receiving part for the trunk and several around an axis of symmetry arranged holding elements above the receiving part between a release position and a stop position in levels independently are individually pivotable from each other, which are at least approximately cut in the axis of symmetry, the holding elements in the Stop position with an investment area under pressure to the trunk of the Christmas tree can be put on and have only one clamping device, via a force transmission element on all holding elements at the same time attacks with the same force and the holding elements in their Stop position moves.
This stand the respectable market penetration achieved seems to be the best at the moment.
a Christmas tree stand is known to be complex and expensive Casting process is produced and as a pot with three fixed webs formed at a distance of 120 ° and an inclination of 25 ° in an inclined plane is.
a tree so fastened is difficult remove again.
the present invention has for its object a mechanical To create a holding device of the generic type, by means of which Christmas trees up to approx. 2.50 m high, with thick or thin stumps and smooth or uneven surface on the dies, in vertical Position with the least possible effort, evenly attached and be aligned automatically.
the retaining elements By arranging the fixed point on one on the Retaining elements related lower level, the retaining elements at Tighten the flexible connections before they are directed to the holding elements and between the holding elements and the end attachment points are crossed with each other by means of a tension element without loss of forces and yet flexible due to the flexibility of the fixed point reacting, i.e. compensating for unevenness, applied to the stump.
the receptacle 2 is be cylindrical or square because of the larger water content can and the fixation and irrigation of the Christmas tree serves connected.
a mandrel 21 is located in the center of the receptacle 2 Fixation of the tree trunk attached.
connections 5, 6 are guided through the openings 17 and 17a and after the diversion 16, which is firmly connected to the base plate 1, crossed (reference number 15).
the connections 5, 6 then run through the guides 14, 14a, 14b, 14c in the holding elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c and are then again on the Place 15a crossed against each other and up to their endpoints 11 and 11a performed in or on the tiltable fastener 8.
the fastener 8 is by means of a bearing pin 10 on or in a bearing block 9 attached, which is rotatable on a spacer 29 is stored.
the rolling up of the flexible connections 5, 6 by an electric motor 26 by a 12V battery or transformer 28 powered and by remote control 30 is controlled via a drive shaft 27 with ballast a ratchet 18, which in the event of a power failure, the unwanted loosening of the flexible Prevent connections 5 and 6 and thus the holding elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c should be taken over.
