    Christmas tree
    The field of production
    The present invention relates to a Christmas tree foot with a foot portion as well as a fastener portion, wherein the fastener portion includes a Christmas tree fastener portion, a plastic deformable bend portion, and a foot fastener portion.
    The background of the creation
    There are a variety of solutions for Christmas tree feet. Common to many of these solutions is that they are cumbersome to install and that it is also difficult to adjust the tree so that it stands vertically. Often, adjusting screws are used, which can unfortunately be difficult to access when the Christmas tree base is mounted on the tree.
    A Christmas tree foot is also known under the trade name Christmas tree foot 1-2-tree, where only a hole has to be drilled at the cut end of the Christmas tree, after which the Christmas tree foot can be screwed onto the Christmas tree. When the Christmas tree and Christmas tree foot are raised again, the Christmas tree can be pressed / pressed to the desired position by deforming at least part of the Christmas tree foot. The disadvantage here is, among other things, that it is necessary to screw the foot into the tree and therefore it is necessary to transport the tree with the foot. The Christmas tree foot also has the disadvantage of not providing the same degrees of freedom for deformation in all directions.
    From US 5522177 there is further known a Christmas tree foot, where a pin is driven into the tree, and where there is a rigid but flexible arm to one side, on which there is also a screw for mounting in the Christmas tree, whereby the Christmas tree is further stiffened. . However, this Christmas tree foot does not provide the same degrees of freedom for deformation in all directions.
    Purpose of creation
    The purpose of the production is to make it possible to put a Christmas tree on a Christmas tree base without or with very modest use of tools and then straighten the Christmas tree without the use of tools, and just set the tree to the desired position, with the deformation taking place in a predetermined part. of the Christmas tree foot, where there are uniform degrees of freedom for deformation in all directions.
    It is also an object of production to ensure that the Christmas tree does not dry out and thus lose the needles.
    Finally, it is an object of production to ensure that the cut end portion of the Christmas tree and the entire transition to the Christmas tree foot can be concealed or uncovered.
    Description of the production
    According to a first aspect of the invention, the above stated object is achieved with a Christmas tree foot as initially described and as described in the preamble of claim 1, namely a Christmas tree foot with a foot portion and a fastening part, wherein the fastening part comprises a Christmas tree fastening part, a plastic deformable bend part. and a foot fastener portion, wherein the fastener portion further comprises a first flange between the Christmas tree fastener portion and the plastic deformable bend portion as well as a second flange between the plastic deformable bend portion and the foot fastener portion. This makes it possible to straighten a Christmas tree without the use of tools, but just by setting the tree to the desired position where the deformation takes place in a predetermined part of the Christmas tree foot, namely the plastic deformable bend part, where there are uniform degrees of freedom for deformation in all directions.
    Since the plastic deformable bend part is located between the Christmas tree mounting part and the foot mounting part, there are many options these two parts can be designed on. For example, the Christmas tree fastening part may be a wooden claw which is clamped around the cut end portion of the Christmas tree, or a holder which surrounds the oversized end portion of the Christmas tree and from which screws are screwed in towards the side of the Christmas tree. Likewise, the foot fastening member may, for example, be a collar which is inserted over a corresponding end pin on the foot portion or it may be a ball held by a clamping device in the foot portion.
    The foot section can also be shaped in many ways, from an embodiment where the foot section is a plate of round, oval or, for example, square shape, to an embodiment in which the foot section has a number of legs that can be pulled out and adjusted in height. Another alternative embodiment is a foldable foot portion, for example, the foot portion having several parts that can be folded / turned / turned over one another such as an intersection where all the ends can be rotated so that they lie on the same axis. Yet another alternative embodiment may be a plurality of circular parts which can be rotated over one another, but in the extended position constitute essentially a circular foot portion.
    This makes it possible to have a Christmas tree foot in which the foot section and the attachment part are integrated into a unit, but at the same time allows for at least partially collapsible Christmas tree foot, which can thus fill less when not in use.
    Although the Christmas tree foot may be an integrated unit, several material options may be present, for example, the foot portion may be of wood, metal, composite or polymer, while the fastening portion may be of metal such as steel or composite.
    The flanges also make it possible to give the Christmas tree a better abutment surface as well as to give the fastening part a better abutment surface against the Christmas tree foot, which in both cases will facilitate and ensure the deformation of the bending part. In this context, a flange is to be construed as supporting a portion of at least a portion of the cut end of the Christmas tree, and such a flange need not necessarily be a solid plate portion, but may be constituted by a plurality of radial fingers or the like. extending from one or from the other or from both attachment members.
    By the term flange is also meant discs, wheels, nuts, or at all anything that has the same function as a flange.
    A flange is important as it ensures that you do not bend the wrong parts of the fastening part, and thus neither the Christmas tree fastening part nor the foot fastening part. A flange will precisely ensure that, for example, a bending moment applied to the Christmas tree is transmitted to the bending portion through the Christmas tree mounting portion and the flange between the Christmas tree mounting portion and the bending portion.
    In another aspect, the present invention also relates to a Christmas tree foot, wherein the Christmas tree foot is divided into a foot portion, and a fastener portion, wherein the foot portion comprises uptake means for a foot fastener portion.
    This allows the Christmas tree foot to be placed in the desired location, then to mount the fastener part to the Christmas tree, and finally to place the fastener part with the Christmas tree on the Christmas tree foot. This avoids having to handle and transport the entire Christmas tree foot together with the Christmas tree and instead of just handling and transporting the fastening part together with the Christmas tree to the place where the foot part is placed and here the fastening part and the foot part are put together.
    For example, the uptake means in the foot portion may be a sleeve for receiving a pin from the fastener portion or it may be vice versa, wherein the uptake means in the foot portion may be a pin for picking up a bushing from the fastener portion, and the uptake means in alternative embodiments may include quick couplings, snap couplings, or clamps. additional can be foot-operated and spring-loaded fasteners.
    The present invention also relates, in a third aspect, to a Christmas tree foot, in which the bend part is made of a material with a lower elastic modulus or with a less stiffness than the Christmas tree fastening part and the foot fastening part respectively.
    This allows further plastic deformation of the bending member. An example is a nickel alloy fastener where the Christmas tree fastener and foot fastener are in a nickel / chrome / molybdenum alloy with a modulus of elasticity of 208 GPa, while the flexural portion is in a nickel / copper alloy with a modulus of elasticity of 179 GPa or an acid-resistant 316 stainless steel. with a modulus of elasticity of 195 GPa.
    Other options for combining into a bending member with an appropriate plastic deformation capability are, for example, by combining metals such as steel and alloys such as chromium / vanadium or composite materials such as CerMet made of ceramics and metallic materials. The modulus of elasticity is of course important for the cross-sectional dimension of the bend part, but also for the length of the bend part. The longer the bending part the easier it will be to make a bend / adjust the direction of a Christmas tree. In an alternative embodiment, the entire fastening member may be in a material with the same modulus of elasticity, but the bending member then has a somewhat smaller cross-sectional area than the other parts.
    The present invention also relates in a fourth aspect to a Christmas tree foot, in which at least the bend portion is at least covered with a material with more elastic properties than the bend portion material.
    This makes it possible to cover, enclose, wrap, re-mold or mold the bend member with a material with more elastic properties than the bend part material. For example, if the bending portion is a nickel / copper alloy, the material enclosing the bending portion may be, for example, a rubber or polymer material having more elastic properties than the particular nickel / copper alloy.
    Thus, where the Christmas tree fastening part can be concealed in the Christmas tree and the foot fastening part can be concealed in the Christmas tree foot, the plastic deformable bend portion can thus be concealed by a, for example, enclosed rubber material, which may, for example, have a shape corresponding to the outer contours of the flanges and an extension extending from the first flange to the second flange. Thus, some of the flanges may also be coated with said material. This gives the bend part a much more powerful visual expression, but also makes it easier to hold the bend part when the Christmas tree fastening part has to be pulled, turned, dismantled from the Christmas tree.
    The present invention also relates, in a fifth aspect, to a Christmas tree foot, the Christmas tree fastening part comprising at least one pin.
    This makes it possible to drill a hole in a Christmas tree, insert the pin of the Christmas tree fastener, place the fastener part on the Christmas tree foot and finally make the final alignment. For example, the pin may be ø 8-10 mm and with a length of approx. 50-70 mm and it can be made of steel or aluminum, with an advantageous strength, for example corresponding to EN S235JR or EN AW-1050 respectively. Other non-alloyed / alloyed steel types or materials having similar properties may also be used, as well as the parts may be made in dimensions other than those mentioned herein.
    The at least one pin can be inserted by the hole having a larger dimension than the pin or a corresponding dimension, and therefore the pin only has to be inserted. Alternatively, the hole may have a smaller dimension than the pin, whereby the pin must be knocked into the hole using, for example, a hammer.
    There may also be several pins in the Christmas tree mounting portion, where the pins are, for example, placed in pre-drilled holes in the end portion of the Christmas tree, where the holes are, for example, pre-drilled according to a template. Alternatively, the pins may subsequently be fixed to the fastening member by means of retaining means such as screws, snap locks or the like and where the pins may, for example, be fixed in a hollow disc, which at the same time forms the flange between the Christmas tree fastening part and the bending part.
    The present invention relates, in a sixth aspect, to a Christmas tree foot where the at least one tap is pointed.
    This makes it possible to knock the pin into the tree as is possible, for example, with a nail, which avoids drilling holes in the tree. In order to ensure that the pin can be knocked into the tree, the pin in a preferred embodiment may be made of steel with a suitable carbon content, for example between 0.3% and 1.7%, which allows for curing for better strength properties and hardness. The stronger the material's properties, the smaller the dimension it can have, and all else being equal, a smaller material is easier to knock into a tree than a large one.
    Alternatively, one pin may be placed in a pre-drilled hole, while at least one other pin may be knocked into the tree. For example, the pins to be knocked into the tree may be smaller than the pins to be placed in the pre-drilled hole. In a further alternative, holes can be pre-drilled, after which pins are knocked into the holes for better fastening.
    The present invention also relates in a seventh aspect to a Christmas tree foot, where the at least one pin is a threaded pin.
    This makes it possible to screw the tabs of the fastener part into the Christmas tree, whereby the fastener part is stuck, and does not risk falling during the handling of the Christmas tree with fastening part, and thus before placing in the Christmas tree foot itself. In a preferred embodiment, the threaded pin can be screwed into the end portion of the Christmas tree, optionally in a pre-drilled hole to facilitate the ice-tapping. In a preferred embodiment, self-tapping threads may be used in pre-drilled holes.
    The present invention relates, in an eighth aspect, to a Christmas tree foot, the foot fastening part comprising at least one pin.
    This makes it possible to insert the foot fastening part tab into the foot part. For example, the pin may be ø 8-10 mm and with a length of approx. 50-70 mm and it can be made of steel or aluminum, with an advantageous strength, for example corresponding to EN S235JR or EN AW-1050 respectively. Other non-alloyed / alloyed steel types or materials having similar properties may also be used, as well as the parts may be made in dimensions other than those mentioned herein.
    Optionally, the foot mounting member at least one pin can be tightened in a screwdriver to facilitate the ice screwing in cases where the Christmas tree mounting member at least one pin is a threaded pin to be screwed into the end portion of a Christmas tree.
    The present invention also relates, in a ninth aspect, to a Christmas tree foot, the Christmas tree foot further comprising a water bowl, the water bowl encircling the Christmas tree fastening part.
    This makes it possible to extend the time until the Christmas tree dries out, thus losing the needles, which, for example, for Red Spruce and Omorika occurs before it is the case for Norman spruce and Nobilis. In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the water bowl is an integral part of the flange between the Christmas tree mounting part and the bending part, alternatively the bottom of the water bowl may be an integral part of the flange between the bending part and the foot mounting part and finally the bottom of the water bowl can be secured, for example, by welding to either one or the other. second flange.
    In an alternative embodiment, the water bowl may be of polymer in one or more pieces located downwardly or assembled around the attachment member, for example, by gluing or joining with gasket.
    The present invention also relates, in a tenth aspect, to a Christmas tree foot, the Christmas tree foot further comprising a fastener part hiding.
    This allows you to hide or simply uncover the cut end of the Christmas tree and the entire transition to the Christmas tree foot. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment part sheath is a self-tightening spring band known as '' slap wrap ''. It may also, in an alternative embodiment, be in the form of a one-piece cylindrical pipe piece and optionally with a spring-loaded hinge or two-piece pipe piece which can be assembled around the cut end of the Christmas tree and the entire transition to the Christmas tree foot is a snap coupling, quick-release shutter, magnets or similar.
    The Christmas tree foot is in an embodiment in a color that anonymizes the Christmas tree foot, that is, it has a color that is neutral eg greenish, but the Christmas tree foot can also appear as a more prominent element, where it is decorated, painted or otherwise is decorated.
