Definitions

  • the invention relates to a power supply according to the preamble of claim 1 it is known from US 22 30 900.
  • the trunk of a tree serves as a stand for Mounting of radially projecting lamp arms that can be swiveled in the horizontal plane, which is mechanically and electrically connected to a hinged polygonal by means of an L-shaped attachment Iron ring are connected, which is spaced from radially oriented support screws around the tree trunk is radially braced against it.
  • the crown of a tree cannot be illuminated in this way, because on the one hand the branches of the throat who are in the way of the arms of the candlestick, and on the other hand these arms not protruding into the periphery of the crown at the respective height of the tree trunk along the branches are equipped with lamps.
  • the present invention is namely a power supply, as it is known from the electric Christmas tree lighting, which is increasing but is also used elsewhere, such as outdoors, for example for illumination of individual striking trees or of entire guest gardens.
  • the electric Christmas tree lighting which is increasing but is also used elsewhere, such as outdoors, for example for illumination of individual striking trees or of entire guest gardens.
  • miniaturized low-voltage lamps are usually used on the Christmas tree often have the shape of a candle, but can be of any design.
  • the lamps of the low-voltage lighting mentioned are usually connected in series, with multi-core supply for simultaneous laying of several sections parallel but electrically isolated series connections. This has the advantage If one of the series connections fails, the entire line cannot be darkened immediately.
  • a disadvantage of the conventional low-voltage power supply for one But tree lighting is above all the tangle of cables, which looks like a fishing net disturbingly extends over the periphery of the crown to be illuminated.
  • the object of the present invention is not only to remedy this, but also in connection with this with further training of the generic measures an illumination of the tree top itself with a less distracting as well as easier manageable and flexible use for such tree lighting enable.
  • a flexible sleeve equipped with electrical connection points is provided is placed tightly around the trunk or around a branch of the tree and at the same time, for example, by means of a Velcro fastener can without having to use tools.
  • At least two-core low-voltage cabling is incorporated into or glued to the cuff, as for weaving as such from DE 30 28 229 A1 a safety belt equipped with light-emitting diodes is known.
  • the wiring in turn is with small connection points for radiating lamp connection cables along the branches and with a feed point for the also releasable connection of a Supply cable equipped.
  • Commercially available connections can be made along the cuff miniaturized low-voltage sockets can be attached, or as similar from DE 2 98 06 955 U1 are known as such for pluggable fairy lights.
  • connection points serve Supply of small low-voltage lamps, their sockets off the cuff to be attached to the branches. They are equipped with the connecting cables, which run individually lengthways of the respective branch to the nearest cuff and there for the releasable electrical and mechanical connection to a still free connection point in the form of about one Push button contact.
  • the lighting cabling is now no longer peripheral via the crown but instead much more inconspicuous and with less long free cable loops radially from the center the crown of the tree. This is the optically and handling-technically disturbing, net-like Avoid routing of cables over the periphery of the branches.
  • the tree as a light bearer can now be freely equipped with lamps, which can also be retrofitted can still be redistributed and supplemented easily because only in each case the short line section along the branch to the nearest distributor sleeve on Branch or trunk must be laid in the area of the center of the tree crown.
  • the mighty trunk 12 of a tree raised in a base 11, bears in different Heights, preferably just below or above the base of his crown (not shown), at least one strip-like, manually folded flexible sleeve 13. They are fastened against the trunk 12 by means of a closure when the system is tight 14, preferably in the manner of a Velcro tab.
  • a closure when the system is tight 14, preferably in the manner of a Velcro tab.
  • the upper, slimmer part of the Tribe 12 inevitably leads to a further peripheral overlap of the Velcro fastener 14 of the folded-around unit cuff 13 as further down on the trunk 12. Any constructive adjustment measures for the cuff 13 to the strength the branch or trunk 12 are therefore not required.
  • Each sleeve 13 is equipped with at least two-wire wiring 15, which with in the circumferential, ie longitudinal, direction of the sleeve 13, spaced apart connection points 16 e.g. in the form of smaller narrower, with the arrangement of their two slots parallel to Trunk and thus transverse to the longitudinal extension of the sleeve 13 aligned two-pole miniaturized low-voltage sockets are occupied. From here, electrical can Energy is fed into connection cable 17, which is then along the trunk 12th and / or the branches of the tree lead to sockets 18 for small lamps 19.
  • connection points 16 In order not to have the connection points 16 applied too high and yet without any requirement of tools mechanically and electrically reliable, easily removable connection points 16 can be realized, preferably according to the type found in textile technology be made of metal push buttons, that is, per cable wire from a push button pair exist (not included in the drawing).
  • a feed point 20 for example in the form of a miniaturized pin socket or two push buttons equipped to which a two-wire feed cable 21 leads. That in turn is from a transformative or electronic power supply 22 supplied, either by direct connection or by connection via a cable 21 and another of the sleeves 13, as both in the Drawing considered.
  • the sleeves 13 are like those operated with safe low voltage Lamps 19, connected in parallel, so that in particular the failure of one of the lamps 19 none has further consequences.
  • the individual channels can be used for special lighting effects e.g. with different repetition frequencies be dimmed.
  • connection points 16 for radiating lamp connection cables laid along the branches 17 are equipped.
