Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of decorative structures in tree form.
  • Such a decorative structure is, for example, from US 2003 099786 known. It describes a holder for decorative light chains, which has a trunk and branches attached to it. The branches are attached to base plates by rings, which in turn are attached to the trunk. The branches can be pivoted from the stop on the base plate to the trunk by the ring attachment on the base plate, for example for space-saving storage when not in use.
  • Known decorative structures have the disadvantage that mechanisms are provided for space-saving storage which reduce the size of the decorative structure only to a small extent.
  • the mechanisms of known decorative structures provided for space-saving storage are complicated, which is associated with high production costs, which makes the decorative structures susceptible to malfunctions and defects and / or which makes handling more difficult.
  • Such complicated mechanisms often have particularly stressed areas that require the use of expensive material such as metal.
  • Known decorative structures have shapes that are clearly different from a tree shape due to these complicated mechanisms, some of which are ready for use.
  • the tree-shaped decoration structure according to the invention is suitable for attaching decoration material and comprises a central support, side supports and arms, the decoration structure comprising 80 percent by weight or more of wood-based material.
  • Fastening elements for fastening the side carriers are arranged in the central carrier.
  • a longitudinal axis of the central carrier is arranged essentially in the direction of gravity.
  • the side supports are each attached to the central support in a rotationally fixed and detachable manner by one of the fastening elements of the central support and are arranged to protrude laterally from the longitudinal axis of the central support.
  • the arms are fastened to the side supports and are arranged to protrude laterally from the respective side supports.
  • Pointing essentially in the direction of gravity means that the direction with the direction of gravity includes a maximum of an angle of 30 degrees.
  • this angle can be a maximum of 20 degrees.
  • This angle can be, for example, a maximum of 10 degrees.
  • each arm is attached to a side support. Not every side carrier has to have one or more arms attached to it.
  • each side support has one or more arms attached to it.
  • the releasable attachment of the side supports to the central support makes it possible to store the decorative structure in sections when not in use and / or for transport purposes.
  • Fastening elements in the central carrier can be designed free of particularly stressed areas of a complicated movable mechanism. This eliminates the need for expensive, heavy-duty material.
  • the sections of the decorative structure are freely movable and can be arranged to save space for one another, in particular for storage when not in use and / or during transport. Exchange and replacement of individual components is easy to do, which simplifies, speeds up and / or reduces repair and maintenance.
  • non-rotatably fastened is meant that a piece (e.g. the side member) is attached to a counterpart (e.g. the central support) by a mechanism which is designed to rotate the piece by a maximum of 360 degrees in relation to the counterpart and then in one Fix state that prevents rotation of the piece relative to the counterpart.
  • a plug connection with an asymmetrically arranged pin can form a non-rotatable fastening.
  • a (for example snap-in) bayonet catch is a non-rotatable fastening.
  • a flat surface is formed on the side carrier, which is at least partially in frictional contact with the fastening element of the Central support stands and is non-rotatably and releasably attached to the central support by this non-positive contact in the ready for use state.
  • the flat surface at the end of the side carrier facing the central carrier is designed such that a cross section of the side carrier decreases toward the end of the side carrier facing the central carrier.
  • the side girder can taper to a point or wedge-shaped towards its end facing the central girder.
  • the end of the tapered or wedge-shaped end of the side carrier can be made blunt.
  • part of the fastening element is formed in the central carrier.
  • the entire fastener is formed in the central carrier.
  • a recess in the central carrier can form part of the fastening element and in particular the entire fastening element.
  • the non-rotatable fastening is designed as a mechanism in which the piece and the counterpart move relative to one another free of rotation during the fastening process.
  • a mechanism for rotationally fixed fastening comprises a rotation lock, that is to say an element which prevents rotation.
  • the anti-rotation device is designed as an anti-rotation device projecting at least partially into a recess in the central carrier.
  • the fastening element comprises the recess in the central element and the anti-rotation element.
  • the part of the anti-rotation element protruding into the recess in the central support is at least partially in frictional contact with the flat surface formed on the side support in order to ensure the torsional strength of the side support relative to the central support.
  • the torsional strength of the fastening of the side supports on the central support prevents the side supports from twisting, particularly when they are loaded with decorative material.
  • the arrangement of the fastening elements in the central carrier and in particular an at least partial formation of the fastening elements in the central carrier reduces or eliminates the need for further components (such as additional base plates) and allows a simple construction (in contrast to complicated mechanisms). This allows inexpensive production.
  • the simple construction is not prone to failure and stable. Due to the arrangement of the fastening elements in the central carrier and in particular the formation of the fastening elements in the central carrier, the decorative structure is compact, both in the ready-to-use state and in the disassembled state for storage. Due to the fastening elements arranged in the central carrier, the decorative structure can have a shape close to a tree shape.
  • a tree shape means an enveloping three-dimensional outer shape, for example a pointed cone shape with a subsequent circular cylinder for certain conifers with a trunk or an ellipsoid with a subsequent circular cylinder for certain deciduous trees with a trunk.
  • a tree shape means a shape and arrangement of central beams, side beams and arms, which correspond to trunk, branch and branch.
  • the central carrier can be cylindrical.
  • the central carrier is circular cylindrical.
  • the central carrier can be designed in the form of a cone.
  • the central support is designed as a truncated cone.
  • the central beam is free of protruding elements.
  • the central carrier is free of elements that protrude beyond a cylindrical basic shape.
  • the central carrier is free of elements that protrude beyond a conical basic shape.
  • the central beam is free of elements that protrude beyond a frustoconical basic shape.
  • the central carrier is rotationally symmetrical.
  • the fact that the decorative structure has 80 percent by weight or more of wood-based material has the advantage that the decorative structure can be produced and formed inexpensively, sustainably and in terms of the material properties close to a real tree.
  • wood-based material means material which comprises wood or wood components and consists largely of them.
  • Solid wood, plywood or chipboard are examples of a wood material.
  • the wood-based material itself has a weight fraction of at least 85 percent of wood.
  • the wood-based material has a proportion by weight of at least 90 percent wood.
  • the wood-based material can have a weight fraction of at least 95 percent of wood.
  • the decorative structure can have 90 percent by weight or more of wood-based material. In particular, the decorative structure has 95 percent by weight or more of wood-based material.
  • the decorative structure can consist entirely of wood material.
  • the decorative structure can consist entirely of solid wood.
  • all arms is detachably attached to the side bracket.
  • all arms are detachably attached to the side carrier.
  • all arms can be attached to the side support so that it can rotate and detach.
  • all arms are non-rotatably and releasably attached to the side carrier.
  • all arms can be permanently attached to the side carrier.
  • a longitudinal axis of a first side carrier cuts a plane spanned by the longitudinal axis of the central carrier and a longitudinal axis of a second side carrier in only one point.
  • the central support, the side supports and the arms are essentially straight.
  • Essentially straight means that a spatial body has a maximum deviation of 30 angular degrees from a straight line along its longitudinal axis.
  • the maximum deviation from a straight line is 20 angular degrees.
  • the maximum deviation from a straight line can be 10 angular degrees.
  • Central beams, side beams and arms in particular can be arranged to save space when not in use.
  • Central beams, side beams and arms in particular can be manufactured inexpensively.
  • the decorative structure can be stably positioned when ready for use by fixing the central support.
  • the stable positioning of the decoration structure by fixing the central support allows the decoration structure to be easily and centrally held and fastened.
  • the decorative structure can be attached to a stand or holder that fixes the trunk (or the central support).
  • the decorative structure can be stably positioned by fixing at least one side support.
  • the central support is optionally made in one piece.
  • a one-piece central beam is stable and can be manufactured inexpensively.
  • the central carrier can also be formed in several pieces.
  • the central beam is 0.1 meters or longer along its longitudinal axis and 3 meters or shorter.
  • the central beam is optionally formed along its longitudinal axis 0.5 meters or longer and 3 meters or shorter.
  • the central support is 0.5 meters or longer along its longitudinal axis and 2.5 meters or shorter.
  • the central beam can be 1 meter or longer along its longitudinal axis and 2 meters or shorter.
  • a longitudinal axis of the side carrier forms an angle of less than 90 degrees and at least 60 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the central carrier, a tip of this angle being arranged in the direction of the gravitational direction.
  • the side beams are arranged at an angle of greater than zero degrees and at a maximum of 30 degrees upward (ie counter to the direction of gravity) relative to a normal plane to the longitudinal axis of the central beam.
  • the side supports are arranged on the central support like branches angled upwards, for example a fir tree on their trunk (between horizontal arrangement and a maximum of 30 degrees inclination upwards).
  • the longitudinal axis of the side support forms an angle of less than 90 degrees and at least 70 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the central support, a tip of this angle being arranged in the direction of the gravitational direction.
  • This angle can also be less than 90 degrees and at least 80 degrees.
  • the side supports can protrude at right angles from the central support.
  • the angles described above can be included between the longitudinal axis of the side carrier and the longitudinal axis of the central carrier, but the apex of this angle can be arranged in the direction opposite to the direction of gravity.
  • the side members would be inclined downwards (i.e. in the direction of gravity), like branches of a tree bent downwards.
  • the decorative structure When ready for use, the decorative structure optionally forms a conical, enveloping outer shape in the area of the side supports, which tapers against the direction of gravity.
  • the decorative structure When ready for use, the decorative structure optionally forms an ellipsoidal enveloping outer shape in the area of the side supports.
  • the central support, the side supports and the arms are optionally made of wood.
  • FIG. 1 a decorative structure 1 is shown in a perspective view.
  • the decorative structure comprises a central support 2 arranged in the direction of gravity.
  • Side supports 3 are attached to this central support 2 laterally and detachably and releasably at an angle of 10 degrees upward (ie pointing counter to the direction of gravity).
  • the arms 4 are detachably attached to the respective side support. Some side supports 3 do not have arms 4 attached to them. Some arms 4 have further arms 4 attached to them.
  • the holder 10 shown is not included in the decoration structure 1, but merely serves to schematically illustrate a possible spatial fixation of the decoration structure 1.
  • the central support 2 is fixed in the holder 10 and is therefore stably positioned.
  • the decorative structure 1 is thus inherently stable and only supported by the central support 2 freely in the room.
  • the decorative structure 1 has a tree shape that resembles a fir tree.
  • the tree shape shown by the decoration structure 1 is an enveloping outer shape in a pointed cone shape (in the region of the side supports 3) with a circular cylinder connected below (the part of the central support 2 which extends to the holder 10).
  • Central support 2, side support 3 and arms 4 are made of solid wood.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of part of a central support 2 of the decorative structure 1 Figure 1 and a side carrier 3 detached therefrom. Arms 4 are fastened to the side carrier 3.
  • a fastening element 5 is arranged in the central support 2, in this case a circular bore for a plug connection is formed in the central support 2.
  • This circular hole formed in the central support 2 is a first part of a fastening element 5.
  • a rotation lock 6 is fixed - in the Figures 2 to 4 shown separately for better understanding and shown removed from the central support 2 and from the circular bore of the fastener 5.
  • the rotation lock 6 is made of wood (but can also include or consist of plastic) and has a groove which prevents rotation of an element located in the groove.
  • a counterpart to the groove of the rotation lock 6 is formed on an end of the side support 3 facing the central support 2. If you insert this counterpart into the groove of the anti-rotation device 6, the side support 3 is secured against rotation and detachable (because of the detachable plug connection) on the central support 2. This allows a simple, quick, non-rotatable and stable attachment of the side supports 3 to the central support 2 and also a simple, quick release of the side supports 3 from the central support 2.
  • FIG 3 is the same as in Figure 2 shown, but in side view.
  • Figure 4 shows the same in top view.
  • the rotation lock 6 is fixed in the bore in the central support 2 in Figure 4 represented by constricting elements at the end of the hole (the representation of which was shown in Figure 3 omitted for reasons of clarity).
  • FIG. 5 to 7 a second embodiment of the decorative structure is shown.
  • the show Figures 5 to 7 Views of the second embodiment analogous to the views of the decorative structure in Figures 2 to 4 .
  • the rotation lock is designed differently.
  • a rotation lock 6 is formed with a groove, and the side support 3 has a corresponding counterpart.
  • the side support 3 is flattened at its end facing the central support 2 (at the end to which the side support 3 is fastened to the central support 2 in the ready-to-use state), as a result of which a flat surface is formed on the side support 3.
  • an anti-rotation pin 8 which serves as an anti-rotation element.
  • This flattening of the side support 3 increases towards the end of the side support 3, so that a kind of cut-off wedge shape is created.
  • the narrow tip of this blunt ie cut wedge shape is arranged at the end of the side support 3, facing the central support 2.
  • the central support 2 has an anti-rotation pin bore 7 transverse to the bore of the fastening element 5.
  • the anti-rotation pin bore 7 is arranged spatially for drilling the fastening element 5 in such a way that an anti-rotation pin 8 located in the anti-rotation pin bore 7 projects partially into the bore of the fastening element 5.
  • This is in Figures 6 and 7 well visible.
  • Side carrier 3 comprises the central carrier 2. In other words, the flattening of the side support 3 does not protrude beyond the central support 2 when ready for use.
