Definitions
- the invention relates to a holding device for holding Christmas trees according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Christmas tree stands in various designs are known from practice. Stands are offered that consist of a base plate and a tube fastened vertically on it, in which the Christmas tree is fastened using several horizontally arranged toggle screws. Setting up a tree using such stands usually involves several problems: two people are required to set up and align; the tree stumps usually have to be made to fit; the toggle screws offer only little contact surfaces for the fingers and are therefore difficult to turn; and the water supply is either not guaranteed at all or only marginally.
- Stands are known, the receiving tube of which has an oversized diameter and into which the tree is placed approximately in the middle and wedged in place by means of several wedges which are driven between the edge of the receiving tube and the tree. Aligning the tree is also difficult for an individual here.
- a stand is known in which the tree trunk to be fastened is guided in a slotted sleeve, a wedge-shaped displacement body being screwed onto the outer circumference of the sleeve in the manner of a union nut and pressing radially arranged pressing jaws towards the tree trunk through its wedge-shaped displacement profile. Through the with the jaws moving radially inwards, the tree trunk guided in the sleeve is finally clamped and fixed.
- This tree stand is also disadvantageous in that if the cross-section of the tree trunk deviates from the circular shape, the pressing jaws lie unevenly and thus there is insufficient fastening on the one hand and the alignment is not completely vertical on the other.
- Christmas tree stands are known with a receiving part arranged on the base plate for the trunk and a plurality of holding elements arranged around an axis of symmetry, which can be pivoted independently of one another above the receiving part between a release position and a holding position in planes, which are at least approximately in the Cut the axis of symmetry, the holding elements in the holding position being able to be placed against the trunk of the Christmas tree under pressure with an abutment area and having only one clamping device which acts simultaneously on all holding elements with the same force via a force transmission element and moves the holding elements into their holding position.
- This stand which has achieved considerable market penetration, currently appears to be the best.
- this Christmas tree stand also has disadvantages: a considerable manual force must be generated in a stooped position, in which it is difficult to keep the tree in a straight position, in order to actuate the tensioning device.
- the rope which is pulled by the tensioning device and places the holding elements on the tree stump, works on two considerably different levels, develops a considerable tensile force at the point furthest away from the tensioning device, that is to say on the rear holding elements, which ensures a uniform Force distribution on all holding elements does not allow and also requires an extremely stable construction, ie is cost-intensive.
- a Christmas tree stand which is produced in a complex and expensive casting process and is designed as a pot with three fixed webs at a distance of 120 ° and an inclination of 25 ° on an inclined plane.
- Tensioning wedges provided with corresponding grooves are movably arranged on the webs in such a way that the centrally positioned tree presses on a plate connected to the tensioning wedges, thereby placing the tensioning wedges on the tree and fastening it.
- a tree so fastened is difficult to remove.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a mechanical holding device of the generic type, by means of which Christmas trees up to about 2.50 m high, with thick or thin stumps and smooth or uneven surface on the stumps, in a vertical position with the least possible effort, evenly attached and aligned automatically.
- This object is achieved in that two or more flexible connections from a fixed point, which is arranged in a tilting and rotating manner, are passed through a plurality of holding elements by a diversion to a pulling element and are tightened by means of the pulling element in such a way that the holding elements arranged in a tilting manner are themselves with their upper outer ends in a predetermined radius to the axis of symmetry of a receptacle, which receives the stump, move and lock it.
- the holding elements are tightened with the tensioning of the flexible connections before they are directed to the holding elements and are crossed with each other between the holding elements and the end fastening points, by means of a pulling element without loss of forces and yet Due to the flexibility of the fixed point, it reacts flexibly, i.e. compensates for unevenness, against the stump.
- the simple operation of the pulling element either by operating a foot lever or a remote control that starts an electric motor, allows the tree to be set up safely and perpendicular to its axis of symmetry without having to bend down.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic top view in operation with two flexible connections.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view in operation with two flexible connections.
- Fig. 3 is a greatly simplified top view with the stand closed by the cover.
- the receptacle 2 which can be cylindrical or angular due to the greater water content and serves to fix and water the Christmas tree, is firmly connected.
- a mandrel 21 is attached in the center of the receptacle 2 for fixing the tree trunk.
- a commercially available ratchet 18 is used for transferring the holding elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c, which are arranged at equal distances from one another around the receptacle 2 in or on bearing blocks 12, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, 12e, 12f, 12g so that they can pivot on bearing bolts 13, 13a, 13b, 13c are arranged, from their rest position, which is brought about by one or more return springs 7, which are guided via guide grooves 22 and 22a, into a holding position, a commercially available ratchet 18 is used.
- the ratchet 18 is in a bracket 19 which is firmly connected to the base plate 1 and 19a are mounted and rolled up by means of the vertical pressure movement of the lever 20, which is 20a square or round to accommodate a lever extension 24, 25, the flexible connections 5 and 6.
- These connections 5, 6 are guided through the openings 17 and 17a and crossed after the diversion 16, which is firmly connected to the base plate 1 (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 crossed again at the point 15a and up to their end points 11 and 11a in or on the tiltable Fastener 8 out.
- the fastening element 8 is attached to or in a bearing block 9 by means of a bearing bolt 10, which is rotatably mounted on a spacer bolt 29.
- This and the sliding freedom of movement that the flexible connections 5, 6 can have in the guide bores 14, 14a, 14b, 14c the holding elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c bring the required pressure, taking into account unevenness and misalignment, to the tree trunk to be held in an excellent shape and align and fix it in a predetermined vertical position.
- the flexible connections 5, 6 can be rolled up by an electric motor 26, which is supplied with current by a 12 V battery or transformer 28 and is controlled by means of a remote control 30, via a drive shaft 27 upstream of a ratchet 18, which is intended to prevent the unwanted loosening of the flexible connections 5 and 6 and thus the holding elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c in the event of a power failure.
- Attaching a watertight encapsulated 220V socket 32 in the cover 31 for connecting electrical Christmas tree candles makes the user-friendly Christmas tree stand a real complete solution.
- the return spring 7 can contract the holding elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c below their bearings 13, 13a, 13b, 13c towards their axis of symmetry, so that the holding elements 3, 3a, 3b, 3c, which hold the tree with their upper ends, release this.
- the Christmas tree can be removed.
