Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a pedestal for planting a Christmas tree.

(Prior Art) A Christmas tree is planted on a support base that has a receiver into which a trunk is fitted and three or four legs protruding from the outer periphery of the receiver. Such support stands are known as those with legs that are integrated with the receiver of the trunk shaft, or those that are detachable and can be assembled and disassembled.Generally, the former is for relatively small trees, and the latter is for large trees. used for.

In this case, items that can be disassembled and reassembled are relatively convenient for storage, but parts may be lost or assembly parts are assembled, so it takes time to assemble. Sometimes it is bulky and inconvenient.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention provides a support base that is convenient for both storage and storage during periods of non-use and during use.

(Structure of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the supporting pedestal of the present invention is characterized in that the upper end of the leg is pivoted to the receiver of the tree trunk shaft, and has an open/close structure.

With this configuration, when not in use, the protruding leg can be closed from the shaft stop to the receiving tube and stored integrally in a rod shape along the axial direction of the receiving tube, so there is no loss of parts during storage, and the product is not bulky. It has a small size and is convenient to handle, and when in use, it is only necessary to open the legs, and it can be easily set up.

Hereinafter, the drawings showing the embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the supporting leg base in an open state, and this supporting leg base 1 includes a short cylindrical receiving tube 2 and an outer circumferential surface of the tube. It is composed of three legs 3 that can be opened and closed. In addition to being integrally molded, the receiving tube 2 is provided as an assembly of piece pieces 2a whose circumference is divided into several parts, and in the latter case, there is a flange at the lower end of the pieces 2a and a pin penetrating through it. , and other shaft attachment parts 4 are provided to form a connection structure. In addition, a pair of left and right flanges 5, 5a, etc. are arranged on the upper outer circumferential surface of the receiver tube 2 at divided positions on the circumference, and leg portions 3 are disposed between these flanges.
A mounting groove 6 is provided. When the receiving tube 2 is divided into piece pieces 2a..., each piece is provided along the outer edge of each piece 2a.... 7 is a reinforced part of the collars 5 and 5a, which is made thicker.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper ends 3a of the legs 3 are fitted into the mounting grooves 6, and the upper ends 3a and the pair of flanges 5, 5a are rotatably fixed by pins 8. In addition, a tapered joint surface 9 cut inward is provided on the edge of the upper end 3a of the leg 3 to form a stopper when it comes into contact with the outer surface of the receiving tube 2, and also to prevent the leg 3 from contacting the receiving tube 2. Maintain the prescribed split leg posture. The inclination angle of the tapered joint surface 9 is arbitrarily set.

A wide grounding part 10 is provided on the supporting part 3b of the leg part 3 to stabilize the supporting leg base 1. Although the grounding portion 10 is formed by folding the structural piece of the leg portion 3 into two pieces to the outside of its width, it may be modified as appropriate.

As shown in FIG. 3, a notch 11 is provided on the inner edge of the upper end 3a of the leg 3 to make the leg width slightly narrower, but this is to make the closed leg 3 parallel to the receiving tube 2. There are cases where it is not necessary.

(Effects) With the above-mentioned configuration, each leg of the tree supporting base opens at a predetermined angle with respect to the receiving tube into which the trunk shaft of the tree is inserted and supports, and the legs close with respect to the receiving tube along the axial direction. This makes it convenient for assembling a Christmas tree or for long-term storage, as it can be miniaturized and easily handled.
