Abstract
Description
Christbaumbeleuchtungen sind in unterschiedlichsten Ausführungen bekannt.Christmas tree lights are known in various designs.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Christbaumbeleuchtung aufzuzeigen, die sich
besonders einfach und problemlos montieren läßt. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine
Christbaumbeleuchtung entsprechend dem Schutzanspruch 1 ausgebildet.The object of the invention is to show a Christmas tree lighting that
can be particularly easily and easily assembled. To solve this problem is one
Christmas tree lighting designed according to
Durch ihre Ausbildung ist die erfindungsgemäße Christbaumbeleuchtung besonders montagefreundlich. Beim Installieren der Christbaumbeleuchtung wird zunächst die Stammleitung an dem Christbaumstamm befestigt, wobei die Ausbildung der Stammleitung in dem die zweiten elektrischen Verbindungselemente aufweisenden Abschnitt als Wendelleitung den Vorteil hat, daß die Stammleitung durch Dehnen oder Nachlassen auf die jeweils benötigte Länge gebracht werden kann und auch die Abstände zwischen den zweiten elektrischen Anschlußelementen an die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten leicht angepaßt werden können.The Christmas tree lighting according to the invention is special due to its design easy to assemble. When installing the Christmas tree lights, the Master line attached to the Christmas tree trunk, the formation of the Master line in which the second electrical connection elements Section as a spiral line has the advantage that the main line by stretching or Relaxation can be brought to the length required and also the Distances between the second electrical connection elements to the respective Conditions can be easily adjusted.
Mit Hilfe der Befestigungselemente, die vorzugweise von Klettbänder gebildet sind, wird die Stammleitung am Baumstamm befestigt. Zum Anschluß daran werden die Kerzengruppen an die Stammleitung angeschlossen, wobei für jede Gruppe lediglich ein erstes elektrisches Anschlußelement mit einem zweiten elektrischen Anschlußelement verbunden werden muß.With the help of the fastening elements, which are preferably formed by Velcro strips, the trunk line is attached to the tree trunk. Following this, the Candle groups connected to the main line, but only for each group a first electrical connection element with a second electrical Connection element must be connected.
Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Erfindung. Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Figur, die in vereinfachter schematischer Darstellung eine erfindungsgemäße Christbaumbeleuchtung zeigt, näher erläutert.Developments of the invention are the subject of the invention. The invention is in Following with reference to the figure, which is a simplified schematic representation Christmas tree lighting according to the invention shows, explained in more detail.
Die in der Figur dargestellte Christbaumbeleuchtung besteht aus mehreren elektrischen
Kerzen 1 mit jeweils eine Lampe 2 und einem in der Form einer Kerze nachgebildeten
Gehäuse 3, welches in seinem unteren Ende auch mit einer Halterung zum Befestigen
an einem Ast oder Zweig eines Christbaumes versehen ist. Die Lampen 2 sind jeweils
Niedervolt-Lampen, die austauschbar an dem Gehäuse 3 befestigt sind. Eine Gruppe
G1 - G5 von Kerzen 1, d.h. bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform jeweils vier bzw.
fünf Kerzen 1 sind über Anschlußdrähte 4 an einen gemeinsamen, zweipoligen Stecker
5 angeschlossen, und zwar derart, daß die Lampen 2 dieser Gruppe parallel geschaltet
sind. Wie die Figur auch zeigt, besitzen die Anschlußdrähte 4 von Gruppe zu Gruppe
eine unterschiedliche Länge, d.h. bei der in der Figur obersten Gruppe G1 sind die
Anschlußdrähte 4 kurz gehalten und bei der in der Figur unteren Gruppe G5 besitzen
die Anschlußdrähte 4 eine wesentlich größere Länge.The Christmas tree lighting shown in the figure consists of several
Mit 6 ist eine elektrische Stammleitung bezeichnet, die beispielsweise zweiadrig
ausgeführt ist und mit einem Ende an ein Netzgerät oder einem Transformator 7
angeschlossen ist. In einem Abschnitt 6' ist die Stammleitung 6 als spiralförmig
gewendelte Leitung bzw. als Wendelschnur ausgebildet. An diesem Abschnitt sind
mehrere Steckerbuchsen 8 vorgesehen, in die jeweils ein Stecker 5 paßt, und zwar
derart, daß nach dem Einstecken des Steckers 5 in die Steckerbuchse 8 die Lampen 2
der betreffenden Gruppe G1 - G5 parallel an die beiden Adern der Stammleitung 6
angeschlossen sind. Weiterhin sind am Abschnitt 6' Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen, mit
denen dieser Abschnitt 6' an einem Stamm eines Christbaumes befestigt werden kann.
Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Befestigungsmittel Klettbänder 9.6 with an electrical master line is designated, for example, two-wire
is executed and with one end to a power supply or a
Der Transformator 7 ist primärseitig an die Netzversorgungsspannung anschließbar,
und zwar mittels eines Steckers.The
Die beschriebene Christbaumbeleuchtung ermöglicht eine besonders einfache
Installation. Hierfür wird zunächst bei entfernten Kerzengruppen G1 - G5 und bei von
den Steckerbuchsen 8 getrennten Steckern 5 der Abschnitt 6' am Stamm des
Christbaumes mit Hilfe der Klettbänder 9 befestigt. Durch die Ausbildung des
Abschnittes 6' als Wendelschnur läßt sich nicht nur die Länge des Abschnittes 6' an die
jeweilige Höhe des Stammes leicht anpassen, sondern auch der Abstand zwischen den
einzelnen Steckerbuchsen 8 kann den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten durch
entsprechendes Strecken oder Nachlassen des als Wendelschnur ausgebildeten
Abschnittes 7' eingestellt werden. Nach dem Befestigen des Abschnittes 6' können die
einzelnen Kerzengruppen G1 - G5 montiert werden, und zwar durch Anstecken des
jeweiligen Steckers 5 an eine Steckerbuchse 8 und durch Verteilen der Kerzen 1 in der
gewünschten Form.The Christmas tree lighting described enables a particularly simple
Installation. For this, first with removed candle groups G1 - G5 and with from
the
Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Klettbänder 9 sowohl an dem Abschnitt
6' zwischen zwei Steckerbuchsen 8 als auch an jeweils einer Steckerbuchse 8
vorgesehen, so daß letztere optimal am Baumstamm befestigt werden können.In the illustrated embodiment, the Velcro
Am Ende des Abschnittes 6' ist ein zusätzlicher Anschluß 10 vorgesehen, an den zur
Verlängerung der Stammleitung 6 bzw. des dortigen Abschnittes 6' eine
Stammleitungsverlängerung anschließbar ist, die dem Abschnitt 6' entsprechend
ausgebildet ist. At the end of
