Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stand for trees or plants according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the tree stump is inserted into the cup-shaped holder here, the stem end standing on the bottom of the holder.
  • the end of the trunk used is then clamped with clamping screws arranged in two levels one above the other.
  • the holder is rotatably placed on a base with removable feet.
  • Stands are also known in which the lower end of the trunk is inserted into a holder (for example DE-GM 1 778 031), the end of the trunk being seated in the region of the lower end of the holder and clamped in the region of the upper end of the tubular holder with a plurality of locking screws becomes.
  • the holder is placed on a stand provided with feet, the projection of which determines the stability.
  • an attempt is made to absorb the weight of the tree by sitting on it, and thus to align the set trunk with the help of the locking screws arranged near one end of the holder and to fix it in the aligned position.
  • a further Christmas tree stand is provided with a foot part with three feet, which are connected radially outwards at the same angular distance from one another and can be placed on a positioning plane, and are connected to one another, and with a holder for the trunk with two clamp-like trunk holders, which are open on one side and arranged in two levels one above the other, whereby these log holders are provided with the locking screws.
  • the sideways protruding feet are placed with their free ends on the base forming the base plane without the possibility of alignment, the free ends of the sideways protruding feet being bent downward to form the footprint.
  • the trunk is held outside the central axis of the foot section, so that there is a risk of tipping.
  • the Christmas tree stand described in US Pat. No. 2,681,780 is a folding stand with a foot part and a central trunk receptacle (the height adjustability and rotatability of which can be disregarded here), the foot part of which has three radially outwardly pointing at equal angular intervals a placement level is provided, which are connected to the cup-shaped holder for the trunk.
  • the feet are designed so that they have a downward-facing arc in their central area, which runs out essentially horizontally and adjusting plates are articulated at the ends thereof.
  • the cup-shaped holder for the trunk is arranged centrally and closed in its lower area, in the base of which a mandrel is provided, on which the tree end is placed for centering and fixing.
  • a Christmas tree stand described in DE-PS 471 166 is designed so that an inserted tree can be aligned vertically regardless of the fastening means holding the tree.
  • the stand has a base plate with radially protruding projections, the ends of which are provided with means for positioning, in which set screws act on vertically displaceable end plates, so that the rotary movement of the set screws does not act on the setting plane, so that the adjustment in spite of the tree inserted is in spite of whose weight is possible.
  • DE-GM 1 778 031 describes a Christmas tree stand with sideways projecting feet, which are detachably attached to the trunk receptacle by means of plug connections.
  • the trunk receptacle itself is sleeve-shaped, with the trunk-centering ribs in the area of the lower end and with fastening screws above the sleeve of the trunk receptacle, which is provided with axially upward extensions for receiving the locking screws.
  • the tree cannot be adjusted or positioned with respect to the vertical.
  • CA-PS 1 167 015 relates to a Christmas tree stand according to the preamble of claim 1, which is provided with a foot part and a sleeve-shaped trunk holder.
  • the foot part is formed by three feet, which essentially point towards the outside and can be placed on a level.
  • the holder for the trunk end forming a closed vessel for water absorption for watering the tree, the inner bottom of which has a mandrel for centering the trunk end, is provided at its upper end with radial fastening screws arranged in a fastening plane for fastening and aligning the trunk end.
  • the feet are attached to the outer wall of the holder, for which purpose the outside has axially parallel grooves into which laterally protruding feet are inserted, and one of the feet is poured with water has, which is in communication with the interior of the trunk holder.
  • Brackets and feet are made of a heavy plastic.
  • axially parallel grooves are provided in the wall of the holder, into which inserts are inserted, which in turn have the threaded holes for the fastening screws.
  • the grooves receiving these inserts are provided with undercut edges which receive the inserts like sliding blocks, a dovetail-like design of the undercut edges facilitating the insertion of the inserts.
  • the holder itself has through holes through which the fastening screws are guided. The screw heads on the outside allow the fastening screws to be tightened and loosened.
  • the tips or tips penetrate into the trunk and transfer the weight to the holder, the inserts are pressed outwards and lie against the inner wall of the groove with which they are frictionally engaged.
  • the weight is safely introduced into the holder and transferred from the holder to the feet via the mounting screws on the lower inner wall of the through holes and the resulting frictional connection. Supporting the inserts against a circumferential stop can also serve to improve the introduction of force.
  • the holder Due to the feet attached to the upper edge of the holder, the holder is virtually suspended, so that the tree carried by the holder, be it a Christmas tree, a maypole or another tree or other tall growing plants placed for decorative purposes, is held securely.
  • This hold is independent of the number of feet, if only their number is greater than three; three feet can always be placed on one level without tilting. If the surface deviates from an ideal level, or if the stand has more than three feet, it can be tilted by means of a corresponding compensation using the height-adjustable means, the adjustable height adjustment of which makes this compensation possible.
  • the free ends of the substantially outwardly directed radial parts of the feet which may also have a downward slope, are formed at their free ends so that they can accommodate such means.
  • the holder for the trunk and the feet are placed on each other so that the distance between the lower edge of the holder and the level reaches a size that allows a water container to be pushed under.
  • this water tank is advantageously designed in the basic shape of an equilateral triangle, whereby to achieve a shapely embodiment, the corners are rounded and the walls are staggered and rounded Top edge, which also represents a stiffener, are provided.
  • Side walls made in three 120 ° arches, the center of curvature of which lies in the opposite corner of what is now also referred to as the "constant thickness", now a spherical triangle, allow the water tank to be designed in an elegant manner.
  • the holder has a plurality of fastening screws in two superimposed fastening levels, in each case in the middle between two of the fastening feet.
  • the screw heads which are advantageously designed as handle knobs, are always accessible.
  • These mounting screws - three with three adjustable feet - are at the same angular distance from each other.
  • the "corners" of a subordinate, essentially triangular water container form the outlets which receive the lower fastening screws in the region of the water container.
  • fastening screws are set up for penetration into the trunk; they have tips or tips. These fastening screws penetrating the trunk absorb the weight of the tree and guide it into the holder. Alignment would at least be made more difficult by this penetration of the fastening screws into the trunk. For this reason, some fastening screws, advantageously those of the lower fastening level near the placement level, are provided with a support plate which lies against the outside of the trunk.
  • a wedge-shaped design of the grooves here the correspondingly designed inserts are supported against the wedge flanks, which relieves the through holes themselves, and the power transmission is also independent of a frictional connection.
  • the wedge shape is placed so that the downward force transmitted to the inserts pulls them into the seat.
  • a ring cover is provided, which is formed in one piece, or which is attached in the manner of a snap lock for inserts to be inserted from the upper edge of the holder.
  • the feet are connected in one piece to the holder.
  • the holder is provided with grooves analogous to the grooves receiving the inserts for the fastening screws, but here opening outwards, and the feet have end plates on their sides facing the holder, which can be inserted into these grooves.
  • the grooves are provided with undercut edges, which are advantageously dovetail-like.
  • the end plates of the feet are positively inserted into these grooves.
  • a wedge-shaped groove is used for better force transmission from the holder into the feet.
  • the forces to be transmitted here also act vertically from top to bottom, fixing the holder with its wedge-shaped Grooves therefore require a wedge shape that narrows from bottom to top. As a result, the holder with its grooves is pushed onto the end plates in a form-fitting manner.
  • the outer free ends of the radial parts are angled approximately axially downward and are each provided with a receptacle for a height-adjustable foot in the form of an adjustable foot that can be screwed in and out.
  • the screw thread can be introduced directly into the free end; an inserted threaded bushing enables a material-saving design of the free end of the base.
  • the adjustable foot is advantageously provided with a table. With sufficient size, this table top shifts - a table top diameter that is at least 1/3 of the radius of the base is advantageous - the connection line of two neighboring table tops, which is important for safety against tipping, considerably increases to the outside and thus increases the stability of the stand without increasing the overhang. Since the packed stand does not regularly have screwed-in feet, but these are added loose, this also affects the size of the packaging.
  • the stand is advantageously produced as a pressure or injection molded part.
  • the known die-cast alloys in particular those of light metal die-cast, can be used for the production as a die-cast part. This makes it possible to obtain a metal stand that can be produced in an economical manufacturing process.
  • the stand there is the possibility of producing the stand as an injection molded part, the plastic used for this being able to be selected in accordance with the requirements. Fiber-reinforced plastics are particularly suitable for the considerable stresses.
  • the profile of the feet is designed as an open "U".
  • a possible stiffening is achieved by transverse walls that extend between the legs of the "U”.
  • the vertical transverse walls are advantageously placed at an angle to one another so that intersecting support connections are formed.
  • the downward bent end of the so trained In these manufacturing processes feet can be set up in a simple manner to accommodate a threaded bushing that receives the adjustable feet.
  • an insert that can be inserted into the holder is provided, which is fixed in the holder with the fastening screws.
  • This insert has a cover plate which is provided with at least one hole. This hole allows the setting of a trunk with a small diameter, such as a young birch tree as a maypole. Tall specimens of other plants, e.g. a sunflower, can also be accommodated.
  • cover plate is provided with several holes, plant arrangements can be created in a simple manner with the aid of the stand, the plants also being supplied with the water necessary for keeping them fresh because of the water tank, the water tank also also having a low soil planting rounding off the arrangement records.
  • FIG. 1 shows in the top view that the stand placed on the setting level S is essentially formed from the trunk receptacle 10 and three feet 20 oriented at an angle of 120 ° to one another and essentially pointing radially outward. Between the feet, the fastening screws 15 of the upper or (in the area of the cut) 16 of the lower fastening plane are arranged by turning relative to the feet 20 by 60 ° so that their Screw heads 15.2 and 16.2 lie between the feet 20 and are therefore easy to reach.
  • the fastening screws of the upper fastening level B1 (FIG. 2) essentially serve to fasten the tree, they carry its weight and are therefore provided, for example, with tips 15.1 penetrating into the trunk.
  • the lower fastening screws 16 (which are hidden by the upper fastening screws 15 outside the cut) are essentially intended for aligning the tree inserted in the stand, they have plates 16.1 arranged at the ends for better transmission of the forces required for aligning, which prevent the fastening screws from penetrating into the trunk.
  • the holder 10 is provided with grooves 11 provided at an angular distance of 120 ° from one another, into the inserts 17 with the screws for receiving the threads of the fastening screws 15 (FIG. 2) and 16 certain threaded holes are used. These inserts 17 are held in the grooves 11 by engagement edges 11.1.
  • the holder 10 itself is provided with through holes 14 (FIG.
  • an upper cover ring 10.1 is provided, which can be integrally formed. This is possible if the inserts 17 can be inserted from the lower side of the holder 10. In the event that this is not possible, for example because of a wedge-shaped design, the upper cover ring 10.1 can also be retrofitted, for example with a snap connection.
  • the feet 20 point essentially radially outwards, they are designed at least in their radial parts 21 as U-profiles open at the bottom and with transverse walls 22 arranged in the inner free space (FIG. 2) reinforced.
  • the free ends of the protruding feet are bent axially downwards and provided at their ends with screwable feet 27 (FIG. 2), which in turn have the base plates 28.
  • the 3-foot arrangement also allows a water container 19 to be placed under it in order to keep the tree used fresh, it being advantageous to adapt the basic shape of the water container to the shape of an equilateral triangle; the water tank 19 can thus be inserted rotated by 60 ° relative to the feet 20 without colliding with the base plates 28 and without impeding free access to the rotating heads 16.2 of the lower fastening screws, for example for the purpose of realignment.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partially sectioned view of the stand according to section line II-II shown in FIG. 1.
  • the superimposed, mutually parallel fastening planes B1 and B2 which are aligned essentially parallel to the placement plane S.
  • the fastening screws 15 and 16 are arranged, which are guided radially through the stem receptacle 10.
  • the stem receptacle 10 is provided with an insert 17 which has threaded holes at a distance from one another at the fastening planes B1 and B2 for screwing through the fastening screws 15 and 16, the upper fastening screws 15 with tips 15.1 penetrating into the trunk and the lower fastening screws 16 with non-positively against the strainable plate 16.1 are provided.
  • the rotary heads 15.2 and 16.2 - the latter already in the area of the water container below - allow the tightening and loosening of the fastening screws 15 and 16 holding or aligning the tree.
  • the laterally formed feet 20 are provided with only slightly downwardly inclined radial parts 21, which in the Area of their outer, free end are bent axially downwards.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment in which the feet 20 are inserted in a removable manner: here the trunk receptacle 10 is provided with grooves 11 and 12 at angular intervals of 60 °, which alternately open inwards and outwards.
  • the inserts 17 for the fastening screws 15 and 16 are inserted into the inwardly opening grooves 11.
  • the outwardly opening grooves 12 serve to releasably attach the feet 20, the ends of the radial parts 21 assigned to the trunk receptacle 10 are provided with an insert plate 23. These slide-in plates 23 are received in a form-fitting manner by the grooves 12 which are open to the outside.
  • the engagement edges 12.1 hold the plate in position.
  • the stand is easy to pack, especially in the plastic version, and it also offers additional space in its packaging, for example for decorative underlay, other jewelry and the like, for which the packaging can be designed so that the free spaces in have specially partitioned receptacles for this purpose corresponding to the packaging.
  • FIG. 4 shows the stand, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • An insert 18 is inserted into the holder 10 here.
  • the fastening screws 15 and 16 hold the insert 18 in position, it being possible for corresponding impressions 18.3 to be provided, for example, for the fastening screws provided with crests or tips 15.1.
  • the upper cover plate 18.1 of the insert 18 has holes - here a central 18.11 and peripheral 18.12 - through which the stems of weak trees or stems of tall plants are stuck in order to obtain a plant arrangement.
  • the insert is provided with a lower end plate 18.2 which has at least one central opening.
  • the free annular space around the insert 18 can be used in the same way: In order to arrange medium-high plants that are held directly by insert 18, these are inserted into the annular space formed between the inner wall of the holder 10 and the outer wall of the insert 18. In the same way, low plants that complete the arrangement can be inserted into the water tank 19. Due to the water in this water tank 19, at least the fastening screws 16 of the lower fastening level B2 are in or near this water, in which salts and other plant nutrients are generally present and in which plant metabolism products can also accumulate. Such water can have a corrosive effect on these fastening screws. Such a corrosion attack, which cannot be ruled out, can be taken into account by appropriate choice of material, for example by using stainless steel for the fastening screws. It is important in the selection of materials that no corrosion-promoting galvanic element can form between the fastening screws 18 and the insert 17 for holding these fastening screws.
