It also has a number of coaxial bushes (3) which center and support the trunk, and the wedge and bushes have a density, plasticity and suppleness which allow them to adapt to the shape of the container and the trunk and exercise a wedging compression force. Their minimum thickness is 50 mm to give an appropriate contact surface, and the wedge can be made from two or more coaxial components to adapt to different container openings. In addition, the rings can be polygonal in shape.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif amovible de maintien en position verticale de tous sapins de Noël, arbustes naturels ou artificiels adaptés dans un récipient tel que poterie ou cache pot dont les formes extérieure et supérieure peuvent être cylindrique ou polygonale. De nombreuses inventions font déjà l'objet de systèmes assurant la fonction de maintien. Les plus représentatifs sont ceux conçus avec des croisillons en bois fixés par une pointe à la base du tronc et ceux élaborés sous forme de trépied métallique dans lequel le tronc est inséré et bloqué à l'aide de vis.The present invention relates to a removable device for maintaining vertical position of all Christmas trees, suitable natural or artificial shrubs in a container such as pottery or flowerpot whose external shapes and upper can be cylindrical or polygonal. Many inventions are already the subject of systems ensuring the hold function. The most representative are those designed with wooden braces fixed by a point at the base of the trunk and those developed under form of metal tripod in which the trunk is inserted and locked using screw.

La société CREA a déposé deux demandes de brevet n° 9704099 et 9616003 dont l'originalité pour l'une est de se présenter sous la forme d'une poterie dont la base inférieure de forme conique maintient et centre le tronc du sapin et la partie supérieure une collerette recevant un dispositif amovible de maintien supérieur du tronc, et pour l'autre de se présenter sous la forme de supports amovibles inférieur et supérieur dont l'originalité est de s'adapter dans les poteries standards munies d'un trou central d'évacuation. D'autres inventions, notamment des systèmes mécaniques permettent le maintien de sapins de Noël par exemple, le brevet n° 8804465 décrit un tel système mais l'inconvénient est le prix de revient plus élevé.CREA has filed two patent applications No. 9704099 and 9616003 whose originality for one is to appear in the form of a pottery, the lower conical base of which holds and centers the trunk of the tree and the upper part a collar receiving a removable device of upper support of the trunk, and for the other to be in the form of removable upper and lower supports whose originality is to adapt in standard pottery with a central drain hole. Others inventions, including mechanical systems allow the maintenance of Christmas trees for example, patent n ° 8804465 describes such a system but the downside is the higher cost price.

    • Les figures 1 et 2 illustrent le principe général de la présente invention. Le dispositif amovible de maintien se présente sous la forme d'un fourreau (5) dont le contour extérieur peut être cylindrique, polygonal ou d'autre forme géométrique et d'une hauteur minimum de 50 mm. Ce fourreau (5) dispose en son centre de 1 à 4 manchons (3) amovibles et coaxiaux au fourreau (5) et de même hauteur que celui-ci.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the general principle of the present invention. The removable holding device is in the form of a sheath (5) of which the outer contour can be cylindrical, polygonal or of other shape geometric and a minimum height of 50 mm. This sheath (5) has its center with 1 to 4 removable sleeves (3) coaxial with the sleeve (5) and same height as this.

    Le contour extérieur du fourreau (5) dont la dimension est supérieure à la périphérie de la collerette (9) du récipient se centre sur ce dernier et le manchon (3) vient enserrer le tronc du sapin. La matière comprimée et incluse entre ces deux limites cale le sapin et le maintient. Une variante de construction du fourreau (5) représentée en figure 6 indique la possibilité de variabilité des dimensions extérieure du fourreau (5) par la réalisation de fourreaux amovibles et coaxiaux de hauteur identique ce qui permet un choix de plusieurs dimensions d'adaptation sur des récipients différents.The outer contour of the sheath (5) whose dimension is greater than the periphery of the flange (9) of the container is centered on the latter and the sleeve (3) encloses the trunk of the tree. The material compressed and included between these two limits hold and hold the tree. A construction variant of the sheath (5) shown in Figure 6 indicates the possibility of variability of outer dimensions of the sleeve (5) by making removable sleeves and coaxial of identical height which allows a choice of several dimensions adaptation on different containers.

    L'ensemble (30) constitué du fourreau (5) et des manchons (3) présentent des fentes (6) et (7) permettant l'écartement dans le sens des flèches F (figure 3) autorise l'introduction de cet ensemble (30) sur le tronc (2). Ces fentes (6) et (7) sont orientées suivant un rayon dont l'origine (O) est le centre du fourreau (5) et dont l'extrémité est un point (A) située sur la périphérie du fourreau (5). La longueur totale correspondant à l'écart entre le point A et un point B situé à environ 10 mm au delà de la périphérie du dernier manchon extérieur. Ces fentes ont une hauteur égale à l'épaisseur du fourreau et sont perpendiculaires aux faces extérieures. Suivant la même direction la fente (7) sépare les manchons (3) en deux parties égales.
    La réalisation de cet ensemble (30 )est obtenue à partir d'une matière de type mousse polyéthylène ou tout autre type équivalent dont les caractéristiques techniques sont adaptées à cette invention..
    Les caractéristiques techniques de la matière telles que la densité retenue entre 30 et 40 kg / m3 et les performances d'élasticité, de souplesse et de capacité à épouser les formes permettent un calage optimum quelles que soient les irrégularités de dimensions du récipient et du tronc du sapin. D'autre part, cette matière est 100 % recyclable et répond aux normes en vigueur de protection de l'environnement.    The assembly (30) consisting of the sheath (5) and the sleeves (3) have slots (6) and (7) allowing the spacing in the direction of the arrows F (FIG. 3) authorizes the introduction of this assembly ( 30) on the trunk (2). These slots (6) and (7) are oriented along a radius whose origin (O) is the center of the sleeve (5) and whose end is a point (A) located on the periphery of the sleeve (5). The total length corresponding to the difference between point A and point B located approximately 10 mm beyond the periphery of the last outer sleeve. These slots have a height equal to the thickness of the sheath and are perpendicular to the outer faces. In the same direction, the slot (7) separates the sleeves (3) into two equal parts.
    The production of this assembly (30) is obtained from a material of polyethylene foam type or any other equivalent type, the technical characteristics of which are adapted to this invention.
    The technical characteristics of the material such as the density retained between 30 and 40 kg / m3 and the performance of elasticity, flexibility and ability to follow the shapes allow optimum wedging whatever the irregularities of dimensions of the container and the trunk. fir. On the other hand, this material is 100% recyclable and meets the standards in force for environmental protection.

    La mise en oeuvre consiste, après avoir évalué la dimension du tronc (2), à enlever ou conserver le ou les manchons (3), à vérifier l'orientation de la fente (7) du ou des manchons restants de façon qu'elle soit dans le prolongement de celle (6) du fourreau (5), ensuite l'ensemble (30) est introduit latéralement sur le tronc (2) en écartant les fentes (6 et 7). Ces fentes 6 et 7 permettant l'introduction du tronc sans arracher le ou les manchons restants et facilitant l'adaptation du manchon autour du tronc qui présente souvent de grosses irrégularités (bourrelet d'écorce, amorce de branche...)The implementation consists, after having evaluated the dimension of the trunk (2), to remove or keep the sleeve (s) (3), check the orientation of the slot (7) of the remaining sleeve (s) so that it is an extension of that (6) of the sleeve (5), then the assembly (30) is introduced laterally on the trunk (2) by spreading the slots (6 and 7). These slots 6 and 7 allowing the introduction of the trunk without tearing off the remaining sleeve (s) and facilitating the adaptation of the sleeve around the trunk which often presents large irregularities (bark bead, branch primer ...)

    Associé à ce dispositif mais ce n'est pas obligatoire, on peut utiliser des dispositifs de maintien inférieur (31) qui centrent et maintiennent la base du tronc dans le fond du récipient. Ces dispositifs représentés en figures 7, 8, 9 et 10 peuvent être rapportés ou intégrés dans le fond du récipient. Ils se présentent en figures 7 et 8 sous la forme d'une enveloppe conique intégré dans le fond du récipient, en figure 9 sous la forme d'une enveloppe cylindrique avec sangles rapportées et centrées dans le fond du récipient, en figure 10 sous la forme d'une plaque munie d'une pointe centrée dans le fond du récipient (1).Associated with this device but it is not compulsory, we can use lower holding devices (31) which center and hold the base of the trunk in the bottom of the container. These devices shown in Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10 can be added or integrated into the bottom of the container. They come in Figures 7 and 8 in the form of a conical envelope integrated into the bottom of the container, in Figure 9 in the form of a cylindrical envelope with straps reported and centered in the bottom of the container, in Figure 10 in the form of a plate provided with a point centered in the bottom of the container (1).

    Maintenu et centré en une ou deux positions dont l'écartement est la hauteur du récipient, le sapin adopte la position verticale et s'y maintient, sa stabilité étant assurée par l'ensemble du dispositif.Maintained and centered in one or two positions whose spacing is the height of the container, the tree adopts the vertical position and stays there, its stability being ensured by the entire device.
