Definitions

the invention relates to a Christmas tree stand according to the preamble of claim 1.
Christmas tree stands are known in which a vertically upright sleeve is provided on a plate or on a foot part, which serves to receive the lower end of the Christmas tree trunk.
clamping screws are provided all around at regular intervals, which penetrate the sleeve and are used for clamping and thus for fixing the Christmas tree trunk inside the sleeve.
the disadvantage here is that only a slight clamping effect can be applied to the trunk via the clamping screws, which can usually only be actuated by finger force, so that the fastening of a Christmas tree with these known Christmas tree stands is not satisfactory.
the exact vertical alignment of the Christmas tree trunk which is desirable for aesthetic reasons, is very difficult to achieve.
the alignment and clamping requires the help of a second person, since it is practically impossible to hold the tree and tighten the clamping screws at the same time.
DE-GM 72 04 742 shows a Christmas tree stand in the form of a bowl, in which four individual clamping jaws can be pressed against the trunk surface of the Christmas tree by respectively assigned, individually actuated adjusting devices.
the subject of this utility model is therefore merely a somewhat improved form of a Christmas tree stand, in which, according to the above explanation, a plurality of screws are counteracted for as long as is known the trunk circumference is pressed until the trunk is fixed vertically.
the US-PS 33 01 512 shows a holding device for Christmas trees, in which a foot pedal-operated clamping device is provided in a stand part.
the clamping device itself consists of hook-shaped claws which are mounted so as to be pivotable, a corresponding actuation of the foot pedal via a deflection gear set the holding claws in motion.
the movements of the individual holding claws are positively coupled to one another, so that the tree trunk itself must be kept vertically aligned in the course of the application of the holding force. With unevenly contoured trunks and / or obliquely cut trunk ends, a secure vertical hold of the Christmas tree trunk is not guaranteed.
the foot lever is released and the retaining elements are then brought into the effective position by the spring force, ie the retaining elements now press firmly against the trunk, whereby this is clamped and held in the receptacle.
the disadvantage here is the high spring forces that are necessary to securely clamp even taller and more expansive Christmas trees - possibly with heavy tree decorations.
the return movement of the holding elements into the ineffective position, whereby these high spring forces have to be overcome, can be very difficult.
the tensioning device is preferably a type of cable winch or ratchet which, when actuated via a foot or hand lever, receives the force transmission element designed as a steel cable and thus applies the high holding forces required for secure clamping to the holding elements.
the Christmas tree stand according to DE-PS 39 32 473 has proven itself extensively in practice and has found high acceptance on the market. In particular, it can also be used to set up tree trunks with misalignment that occur repeatedly in nature quickly and safely, even vertically, by an individual. Nevertheless, he is still responsible for the lack of detail that the winch or ratchet used to actuate the tensioning device gives the entire Christmas tree stand a somewhat technical / mechanical appearance, which, especially with Christmas tree stands, is rejected by some people for aesthetic reasons. Also by the winch or ratchet, which must be designed stable and reliable, since it is not only for application the holding forces is used, but also to maintain them by holding the tensile stress generated in the rope of the generic Christmas tree stand difficult and also expensive to manufacture.
a Christmas tree stand with a foot part, a receiving part arranged on the foot part for the trunk of the Christmas tree with a plurality of holding elements arranged around an axis of symmetry, each of which can be moved between a holding position and a release position, the holding elements moving towards and away from the axis of symmetry move, and with a single clamping device which engages all holding elements via a force transmission element and moves the holding elements into the holding position with an adjustable holding force, the force transmission element being a flexible connection part which can be loaded under tension and which initially holds all holding elements essentially force-free on the trunk of the Christmas tree and then presses all the holding elements in one go and with essentially the same holding force against the trunk of the Christmas tree is characterized in that the holding elements essentially are pin-shaped and in the receiving part are guided essentially horizontally and slidably; that the connecting part engages on end regions of the holding elements and moves the holding elements into the holding position under tensile loading; and that at least one locking mechanism is provided, which prevents the movement
the holding elements in the receiving part are guided essentially horizontally and slidably.
a feed movement of the holding elements in the direction of the Christmas tree trunk to be clamped thus takes place by a simple sliding movement of the holding elements, so that complex pivot bearings or the like for the holding elements can be dispensed with.
the connecting part engages the holding elements at their end regions and moves them towards their holding position when there is a tensile load.
the connecting part can engage directly on the end regions of the holding elements, that is to say directly in the horizontal plane of movement of the holding elements, so that an optimal introduction and transmission of force is possible.
At least one locking mechanism is provided, which prevents the movement of the holding elements from their holding position back into the release position.
the central tensioning device in the form of the cable winch or ratchet can be dispensed with.
the locking mechanism With a correspondingly selected arrangement of the locking mechanism, it can be arranged from the outside of the Christmas tree stand or its foot part or receiving part, so that the entire Christmas tree stand is given an aesthetically appealing exterior.
the at least one locking mechanism prevents the holding elements from being in their holding position after the tensile force applied to the connecting part has been removed, in order to shorten it relatively and to move the holding elements in the direction of the holding position get free and no longer clamp the Christmas tree trunk securely.
the connecting part can engage either on the end regions of the holding elements facing away from the axis of symmetry or on the end regions of the holding elements facing the axis of symmetry and can move the holding elements into the holding position under tensile loading.
the connection part acts on the end regions of the holding elements facing the axis of symmetry, the additional advantage that the connection part runs essentially completely inside the receiving part and thus from the outside is not visible here.
each holding element is assigned a locking mechanism acting in the direction of the release position, the Christmas tree trunk is securely and firmly clamped in the holding position of the individual holding elements.
the connecting part is preferably a tensile rope.
Tensile ropes made of, for example, steel wire strands or synthetic fibers are able to apply high forces without showing signs of fatigue in the form of elongations. Ropes can also be routed around very small or narrow radii without great technical effort.
ratchet acts on the rope
a central locking device which acts on all holding elements in the same way, which can be operated centrally and deactivated, so that the Christmas tree stand can be operated quickly and safely with simple and inexpensive means Means is given.
the locking mechanism since the locking mechanism is no longer directly assigned to one or more holding elements, but rather acts indirectly on them via the rope, it can be designed in a variety of ways and adapted to the respective design of the Christmas tree stand.
the locking mechanism assigned to the holding elements or the locking mechanism assigned to the rope should or should preferably be designed to be detachable in order to be able to easily remove the Christmas tree trunk from the Christmas tree stand again if required.
they can preferably be released simultaneously, for example by means of a central triggering device which acts on all ratchets simultaneously when actuated.
these are preferably arranged in the bearings or the bearing wall for the holding elements. This makes it possible to arrange the locking mechanism so that it is not visible from the outside, so that the Christmas tree stand can be given a particularly pleasing appearance.
At least one of the holding elements is preferably biased in the direction of its release position by a spring component.
the spring component is preferably a helical spring wound around the pin-shaped holding element, which is particularly advantageous in terms of space requirements and cost reasons.
the connecting component is preferably captively guided in the respective end regions of the holding elements, for example in eyelets or bores formed there if the connecting component according to the preferred embodiment is a tensile rope. This ensures that the connecting component or rope always reliably engages and acts on all holding elements.
the ends of the holding elements pointing in the direction of the holding position are preferably sharpened so that they bury into the material of the Christmas tree trunk in the course of a further infeed movement after contact with the trunk surface of the Christmas tree and thus make the holder more secure.
the rope can preferably be actuated via a force amplification device, in particular via a pulley.
a force amplification device in particular via a pulley.
the rope can be released; the locking mechanism assigned to the holding elements or the locking mechanism assigned to the rope maintain the holding forces in the holding elements even when the tensile force in the rope is removed.
the pulley can then be accommodated in the interior of the foot or receiving part of the Christmas tree stand, so that it is not visible from the outside and the Christmas tree stand has a visually appealing exterior.
a in Fig. 1 and 2 generally designated 2 Christmas tree stand essentially comprises a foot part 4, which in the illustrated embodiments consists of a base plate 6 and a circumferential wall 8 comprising the base plate, which has a certain vertical height extension around which inside the Christmas tree stand 2 components to the outside to cover.
a receiving part 10 for the trunk of a Christmas tree is arranged on or in the foot part 4 or in the peripheral wall 8.
the receiving part 10 consists of a further wall 12 which projects from the base plate 6 and runs parallel and concentrically with the peripheral wall 8 and which serves as a bearing wall for holding elements, as will be explained in more detail below.
a centering mandrel 14 At the center of the circles defined by the walls 8 and 12 is a centering mandrel 14 from the base plate 6, which is pressed into the lower free end of the Christmas tree trunk.
a plurality of holding elements is arranged equidistantly along the circumference along the bearing wall 12.
a total of four holding elements 16, 18, 20 and 22 are provided, which are spaced apart from one another by 90 °.
the holding elements 16 to 22 are slidably guided in the bearing wall 12 in appropriately designed bearing openings. The movement of the holding elements 16 to 22 thus takes place in one plane, which in the drawing plane of the figures or parallel to it.
the holding elements 16 to 22 are essentially pin-shaped or bolt-shaped and each have two end regions, namely end regions 24, 26, 28 and 30, which face an axis of symmetry which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing Figure stands and runs through the mandrel 14, and end regions 32, 34, 36 and 38 facing away from it, which face away from the axis of symmetry and point radially outward.
the end regions 24 to 30 are pointed in the manner shown in the drawing in order to achieve better mounting of a Christmas tree trunk to be clamped, as will be explained below.
stops 40, 42, 44 and 46 on the holding elements 16 to 22 which prevent the holding elements 16 to 22 from sliding out of their corresponding guides in the bearing wall 12.
the stops 40 to 46 are preferably disk-shaped, for example spring washers, which are held in corresponding circumferential grooves on the holding elements 16 to 22.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are the same.
the radially outer end regions 32 to 38 of the holding elements 16 to 22 are acted upon by a force transmission element, which in the preferred exemplary embodiment is a flexible connection part, in particular a cable 48, which can be subjected to tension.
the rope 48 is here captively guided in the end regions 32 to 38 of the holding elements 16 to 22, for example held in bores formed there or guided through eyelets attached to the end regions 32 to 38.
the rope 48 enters - possibly through an opening 50 in the peripheral wall 8 Inside the foot part 4, passes through a first deflection eyelet 52, runs from here to the holding element 20 or its end region 36 and then in the drawing clockwise to the end regions 38, 32 and 34 of the holding elements 22, 16 and 18.
the rope 48 passes through - as already mentioned - bores or eyelets in the end regions 32 to 38. Coming from the end region 34 of the holding element 18, the rope 48 passes through a further deflection eyelet 54 and then emerges again from the region of the foot part 4 - optionally through the opening 50 - out.
a spring element 56 which is a helical spring in the illustrated embodiment, which is wound around the outer circumference of the holding element 22 and is supported between the outer wall of the bearing wall 12 and a stop 58 .
the holding element 22 is outwardly, i.e. biased to the left in the drawing.
ratchets 60, 62, 64 and 66 are provided in the storage area of the holding elements 16 to 22, i.e. in the area where the holding elements 16 to 22 pass through the bearing wall 12.
the locking mechanisms 60 to 66 are one-way, i.e. in the activated state they inhibit a movement of the holding elements 16 to 22 radially outwards, whereas a movement of the holding elements 16 to 22 radially inwards towards the axis of symmetry or the mandrel 14 is essentially not hindered by the catches 60 to 66.
Examples of the locking mechanism 60 to 66 which are shown very schematically in the drawing, are, for example, one-way positive locking mechanisms with toothing or friction locking mechanisms, as are also used, for example, in the so-called spray cartridges for silicone-based sealing compounds.
the locking mechanism 60 to 66 which are assigned to the holding elements 16 to 22, can be detached if necessary by one radial to allow outward movement of the holding elements 16 to 22, for example, to release a clamped Christmas tree trunk again, or to prepare the receiving part 10 for receiving a Christmas tree trunk.
the design of the locking mechanism 60 to 66 can be such that they can be released individually, for example by hand, or else they can be released at the same time by means of a central release device, for example a ring which is coaxial with the bearing wall 12 and rests on the upper side thereof a downward pressure actuation acts simultaneously on the locking mechanism 60 to 66 and releases it.
the functioning of the Christmas tree stand 2 according to the invention according to FIG. 1 is as follows:
FIG. 1 shows the Christmas tree stand 2 with the holding elements 16 to 22 in the release position, where they protrude radially outward from the bearing wall 12 when the rope 48 is loosened, the disks 40 to 46 possibly striking the inner wall of the bearing wall 12.
the interior of the receiving part 10, that is, the space within the bearing wall 12 is free for receiving a Christmas tree trunk to be clamped.
the Christmas tree trunk is placed in the receiving part 10, the mandrel 14 digging into the underside of the trunk.
the two ends of the rope 48 protruding from the foot part 4 or from the opening 50 of the peripheral wall 8 are now gripped, the two rope ends optionally being able to be provided with a grip part or a gag to better grip the two ends of the rope 48 with one hand to be able to grab.
a tensile force or tensile stress is applied to the rope 48 with the other hand, so that it tightens and shortens, this shortening of the rope 48 causing the holding elements 16 to 22 to move radially be moved towards the axis of symmetry on the inside and - at one absolutely round tree trunk essentially at the same time, in the case of an irregularly contoured tree trunk, gradually lay it against the trunk surface.
This movement of the holding elements 16 to 22 is not or only insignificantly impeded by the one-way locking mechanisms 60 to 66. If a further pulling force is now applied to the cable 48, the holding elements 16 to 22 are moved radially inwards from all sides with uniform force, the end regions 24 to 30 finally digging into the material of the tree trunk with its pointed ends and this clamp.
a weight is preferably also applied to the foot part 4 so that sufficient tensile forces can be applied to the rope 48 without the Christmas tree stand lifting. For example, a person pulling on the rope 48 stands with one foot on the base plate 6.
the rope 48 is released and the clamped Christmas tree can also be released since it is now reliably clamped in the Christmas tree stand 2.
the cable 48 is released, there is no longer any tension in the cable 48 and therefore no more inward force in the individual holding elements 16 and 22, but the one-way locking mechanism 60 to 66 prevent a radial evasive movement of the elements 16 to 22 outside, so that the Christmas tree trunk remains clamped.
the protruding length of the rope 48 from the foot part can be placed in the space between the walls 8 and 12, so that this rope length is virtually invisible from the outside and the Christmas tree stand 2 has a visually appealing exterior.
a force amplification device can be provided which, due to the configuration of the connecting part as a cable 48, is particularly preferably designed in the form of a pulley block.
the rope 48 can be fixed on one side in the area of the foot part 4, for example on the deflection eyelet 52.
the rope 48 is again guided clockwise over the end regions 36, 38, 32 and 34, passes through the deflection eyelet 54 and is then passed through a pulley arranged between the bearing wall 12 and the peripheral wall 8, after which it then leaves the region of the foot part 4 - optionally through the opening - 50.
This intermediate pulley allows the tensile forces to be applied in the rope 48 to be increased significantly, so that correspondingly higher holding forces can also be achieved. Due to the arrangement of the block and tackle between the bearing wall 12 and the peripheral wall 8, it is not visible from the outside, so that the external appearance of the Christmas tree stand 2 according to the invention is not impaired by the block and tackle.
the catches 60 to 66 are released - either individually one after the other or simultaneously by a central release device, with at least one of the holding elements (in the exemplary embodiment shown the holding element 22) is moved radially outwards under the force of the spring 56. If all the holding elements 16 to 22 are provided with a spring corresponding to the spring 56, all the holding elements 16 to 22 return to the end position shown in the figure, in which the Christmas tree trunk is released by the holding elements 16 to 22 and can be removed from the Christmas tree stand 2 . If, according to the drawing, only one of the holding elements is provided with the compression spring 56 acting radially outwards, only this one holding element will also return to its release position according to the drawing. However, this is usually sufficient to get the Christmas tree free of these by repeated tilting movements in the direction of the retaining elements still in contact in order to be able to pull it out of the Christmas tree stand 2.
the radially inner end regions 24 to 30 of the holding elements 16 to 22 are acted upon by the force transmission element, which is preferably designed as a cable.
the rope 48 is in this case captively guided in the end regions 24 to 30 of the holding elements 16 to 22, for example held in bores formed there or guided through eyelets attached to the end regions 32 to 38.
One of the holding elements - the holding element 20 in FIG. 2 - has two bores or eyelets in its radially inner end region.
the rope 48 enters - possibly also through an opening or a slot in the peripheral wall 8 and the bearing wall 12 - into the interior of the foot part 4, passes through an eyelet or a ring 49 and from there becomes the first bore in the end region 28 of the holding element 20 guided.
a spring element 56 which is a helical spring in the illustrated embodiment, which is wound around the outer circumference of the holding element 22 and is supported between the outer wall of the bearing wall 12 and a stop 58 .
the holding element 22 is outwardly, i.e. biased to the left in the drawing.
a single-sided ratchet acts on the rope strand 70 of the rope 48, which prevents movement of the holding elements 16 to 22 from their holding position into the release position.
the locking mechanism can be arranged inside or outside the peripheral wall 8 or fastened thereon. The specific design of the locking ultimately depends on the holding forces to be provided and the design of the Christmas tree stand.
the basic function which the locking mechanism has to fulfill is to fix the holding elements in this holding position after reaching the holding position, ie to inhibit a movement of the holding elements 16 to 22 radially outwards, whereas a movement of the holding elements 16 to 22 radially inwards on the Axis of symmetry or the mandrel 14, that is, a pulling movement on the cable strand 70 is essentially not to be hindered by the locking mechanism.
the locking mechanism acting on the strand of rope 70 must be releasable if necessary in order to enable a radially outward movement of the holding elements 16 to 22, for example in order to clamp a clamped Christmas tree trunk again to release, or to prepare the receiving part 10 for receiving a Christmas tree trunk.
2 shows the Christmas tree stand 2 with the holding elements 16 to 22 in the release position, where they protrude radially outward from the bearing wall 12 when the rope 48 is loosened, the disks 40 to 46 possibly striking the inner wall of the bearing wall 12.
the interior of the receiving part 10, that is, the space within the bearing wall 12 is free for receiving a Christmas tree trunk to be clamped.
the Christmas tree trunk is placed in the receiving part 10, the mandrel 14 digging into the underside of the trunk.
the rope strand 70 of the rope 48 protruding from the foot part 4 or an opening there is gripped, wherein the end of the rope strand 70 can optionally be provided with a grip part or a gag in order to be able to grip the end of the rope strand 70 better with one hand.
a weight is preferably also applied to the foot part 4 so that sufficient tensile forces can be applied to the strand 70 without the Christmas tree stand lifting. For example, a person pulling on the strand 70 stands with one foot on the base plate 6.
the rope strand 70 is released and the clamped Christmas tree can also be released since it is now reliably clamped in the Christmas tree stand 2.
the rope strand 70 is released, there is no longer any tension in the rope 48 and therefore no more inward force in the individual holding elements 16 and 22, but the one-way locking mechanism in the rope strand 70 prevents radial evasive movement of the elements 16 to 22 outside, so that the Christmas tree trunk remains clamped.
the protruding length of the rope run 70 from the foot part can be placed in the space between the walls 8 and 12, so that this rope length is virtually invisible from the outside and the Christmas tree stand 2 has a visually appealing exterior.
a force amplification device can also be provided in the embodiment of FIG. 2, which is also preferably in the form of a pulley block. Under certain circumstances, the locking mechanism for the strand 70 can be combined with the block and tackle or some other force amplification device.
the locking mechanism is released, in which case at least one of the holding elements (the holding element 22 in the exemplary embodiment shown) is moved radially outward under the force of the spring 56. If all the holding elements 16 to 22 are provided with a spring corresponding to the spring 56, all the holding elements 16 to 22 return to the end position shown in FIG. 2, in which the Christmas tree trunk is released by the holding elements 16 to 22 and removed from the Christmas tree stand 2 can. If, according to the drawing, only one of the holding elements is provided with the compression spring 56 acting radially outwards, only this one holding element will also return to its release position according to the drawing. However, this is usually sufficient to get the Christmas tree free of these by repeated tilting movements in the direction of the retaining elements still in contact in order to be able to pull it out of the Christmas tree stand 2.
the number of holding elements is not limited to four, for example three or more than four such holding elements can also be used.
two, three or all of the holding elements can also be provided with the compression spring acting radially outwards.
the closed wall Circumferential bearing wall for the holding elements can also be provided individual mounting brackets or brackets assigned to the respective holding elements, which protrude vertically upwards from the base plate of the foot part and are used for slidably guiding the holding elements and for receiving or arranging the locking mechanism.
a Christmas tree stand is obtained, which allows the rapid and reliable vertical or vertical erection of a Christmas tree by an individual, the Christmas tree stand being structurally simple and therefore cost and weight-saving and having an appealing visual appearance.
