Abstract

Known electrical Christmas tree candles are combined by means of the power supply cable to form a chain which contains a specific number of candles. The distances between the individual candles in the cable set are in this case invariable. The novel Christmas tree candle is to embody a discrete component so that the individual Christmas tree candles can be fitted in a manner such that they are completely independent of each other, to any desired point on a Christmas tree or on another object to be decorated. The supply voltage source for the light source (3) of the Christmas tree candle is embodied by at least one battery (2) to which the light source (3) can be mechanically joined and electrically connected (Figure 1). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine elektrische Christbaum­ kerze gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electric Christmas tree Candle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bekannte Christbaumkerzen dieser Art sind zu einer eine Anzahl Kerzen enthaltenden Kette zusammengefaßt, in der Weise, daß die einzelnen Kerzen durch ein durchgeschleiftes Kabel elektrisch in Serie geschaltet sind. Dabei liegen die Abstände der ein­ zelnen Kerzen voneinander in der Regel fest, desgleichen ist die Anzahl der Kerzen im Falle deren Serienschaltung durch die zur Verfügung stehende Spannung begrenzt. Schließlich wirkt das Verbindungskabel der einzelnen Kerzen häufig störend.Known Christmas tree candles of this type are one of a number Chain containing candles combined in such a way that the individual candles electrically through a looped cable are connected in series. The distances are one separate candles from each other as a rule, the same is true Number of candles in the case of their series connection by the Available voltage is limited. After all, it works Connection cables of the individual candles often annoying.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine elektrische Christbaumkerze zu schaffen, die ein diskretes Bauteil verkörpert und damit unab­ hängig von anderen Kerzen an jeder beliebigen Stelle des mit Kerzen zu schmückenden Baumes plazierbar ist.It is an object of the invention to provide an electrical Christmas tree candle to create, which embodies a discrete component and thus independent depending on other candles at any point of the Candles can be placed on the tree to be decorated.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale im Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing Features solved in claim 1.

Weiterbildungen und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further developments and expedient refinements of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird im nachstehenden anhand der Zeichnung, die ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer diskreten Christbaumkerze veran­ schaulicht, erläutert.The invention is illustrated below with reference to the drawing which an embodiment of a discrete Christmas tree candle clear, explained.

Es zeigt:It shows:

Fig. 1 eine komplette Christbaumkerzeneinheit, FIG. 1 is a complete Christmas tree lights unit

Fig. 2 eine Christbaumkerze mit von der Batterie (Accu) entferntem Kerzenteil, Fig. 2 is a Christmas tree candle with remote from the battery (Accu) candles part,

Fig. 3 ein Mehrfachladegerät für die Batterien in schematischer Darstellung. Fig. 3 shows a multiple charger for the batteries in a schematic representation.

Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, besteht die Christ­ baumkerze aus einem Batterieaufnahmeteil 1, einer Batterie 2, einer Lichtquelle 3 (Glühlampe), einem Kerzenhalter 4 und einer Klemmvorrichtung 5. Die Lichtquelle 3 ist mechanisch lösbar mit dem Batterieteil 1 vereinigt sowie elektrisch mit der Batterie 2 verbindbar. Die elektrische Verbindung kann dabei ähnlich wie bei einer Taschenlampe mittels eines manuell betätigbaren Schalters 6 herstellbar sein. Das Zu- und Abschalten der Lichtquelle 3 kann indessen auch auf elektronischem Weg oder durch Ultraschall erfolgen, zweckmäßigerweise mittels eines Fernbedienungsgeräts. Im letzteren Fall besteht auch die Möglichkeit, z.B. durch Ein­ speichern der einzelnen Kerzen jeweils unter einer bestimmten Kennummer in einen im Bedienungsgerät vorgesehenen Speicher, die Lichtquellen 3 selektiv zu- oder abzuschalten.As can be seen from FIGS . 1 and 2, the Christmas tree candle consists of a battery receiving part 1 , a battery 2 , a light source 3 (incandescent lamp), a candle holder 4 and a clamping device 5 . The light source 3 is mechanically detachably combined with the battery part 1 and electrically connectable to the battery 2 . The electrical connection can be made in a manner similar to a flashlight by means of a manually operated switch 6 . The light source 3 can, however, also be switched on and off electronically or by ultrasound, expediently by means of a remote control device. In the latter case there is also the possibility, for example by storing the individual candles under a certain identification number in a memory provided in the operating device, to selectively switch the light sources 3 on or off.

Zweckmäßigerweise weist die Lichtquelle 3 ein Gewinde 3′ ent­ sprechend einer herkömmlichen Glühlampe auf, so daß sie im Be­ darfsfall einfach durch Los- bzw. Herausschrauben aus dem Batterieteil 1 entfernbar und gegebenenfalls durch eine andere bzw. neue Lichtquelle ersetzbar ist.Appropriately, the light source 3 has a thread 3 'accordingly on a conventional incandescent lamp, so that it can be removed if necessary simply by unscrewing or unscrewing it from the battery part 1 and, if appropriate, can be replaced by another or new light source.

Zum Aufladen der in den Batterieaufnahmeteilen 1 befindlichem Akkumula­ toren 2 kann, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, ein Mehrfach-Accu-Ladegerät 7 be­ nutzt werden.To charge the batteries 2 located in the battery receiving parts 1 , as shown in FIG. 3, a multiple battery charger 7 can be used.
