Description

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour rendre solidaire un arbre de Noël avec son support bois demi bûche et permettre une fixation directe et rapide sans aménagements particuliers.  The present invention relates to a device for rendering a Christmas tree integral with its wooden support half log and allow a direct and fast attachment without particular arrangements.

La fixation des arbres de Noël sur leur supports bois existe suivant différents procédés par clouage, par emboîtage de divers éléments et plus traditionnellement par usinage du pied de l'arbre et perçage d'une demi bûche.  The fixing of Christmas trees on their wooden supports exists according to different processes by nailing, by fitting various elements and more traditionally by machining the foot of the tree and drilling a half log.

Ce procédé est certes très efficace pour la tenue de l'arbre mais reste long à exécuter et surtout coûteux.  This method is certainly very effective for keeping the tree but is long to run and especially expensive.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de simplifier le montage tout en le rendant très rapide et à la portée de toute personne qui sait mettre en place une vis à bois. II comporte une pièce centrale en forme de galette montée sur une double tige filetée en forme de vis à bois à deux bouts. Sur ces bouts sont vissés d'un côté le support bois en demi bûche et de l'autre le tronc de l'arbre de Noël.  The device according to the invention simplifies assembly while making it very fast and within the reach of anyone who knows how to set up a wood screw. It comprises a central part in the form of a slab mounted on a double threaded rod in the form of a wood screw with two ends. On these ends are screwed on one side the wooden support in half log and on the other the trunk of the Christmas tree.

Dans ces conditions le dispositif tel qu'il est défini permet à l'opérateur de le prendre en main et de le mettre en place en vissant de quelques tours dans la demi bûche. Ensuite il visse l'ensemble dans le tronc de l'arbre de Noël jusqu'au serrage total de l'ensemble. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention.  Under these conditions the device as defined allows the operator to take it in hand and put it in place by screwing a few turns in the log half. Then it screws all in the trunk of the Christmas tree until the total tightening of all. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

La figure 1 représente le dispositif en place dans le tronc de l'arbre et le support. La figure 2 représente le dispositif seul en perspective.  Figure 1 shows the device in place in the trunk of the shaft and the support. Figure 2 shows the device alone in perspective.

La figure 3 représente une forme de la pièce centrale.  Figure 3 shows a shape of the central piece.

La figure 4 représente, en coupe, le dispositif suivant une autre forme de réalisation.  Figure 4 shows, in section, the device according to another embodiment.

En référence à ces dessins, le figure 1 montre bien le pied de l'arbre de Noël (1) lié à son socle support demi bûche (2) par l'intermédiaire du dispositif ou la pièce centrale (3) en forme de galette est mise en pression sous l'action d'un double vissage de la tige filetée (4a) (4b) par les bouts pointus (5a) et (5b).  Referring to these drawings, Figure 1 shows the foot of the Christmas tree (1) connected to its support base half log (2) via the device or the central piece (3) shaped pancake is pressurized under the action of a double screwing of the threaded rod (4a) (4b) by the pointed ends (5a) and (5b).

La pièce centrale (3) contient sur son pourtour des échancrures (7) pour faciliter le vissage à la main ou avec un outil. Elle s'inscrit dans un carré ou un cercle d'un diamètre égal ou supérieur à 60 millimètres.  The central piece (3) contains on its periphery notches (7) to facilitate screwing by hand or with a tool. It is inscribed in a square or circle with a diameter equal to or greater than 60 millimeters.

Le diamètre des vis (4a) (4b) est égal ou supérieur à 5 millimètres avec une longueur de part et d'autre de la pièce centrale (3) égale ou supérieure à 40 millimètres suivant la taille de l'arbre que l'on veut maintenir à la verticale.  The diameter of the screws (4a) (4b) is equal to or greater than 5 millimeters with a length on either side of the central piece (3) equal to or greater than 40 millimeters depending on the size of the tree that is wants to maintain vertically.

Le dispositif comprend deux modes de fabrication: - dans le premier la double tige filetée (4a) (4b) est constituée de deux vis à bois alignées sur un même axe et soudées par leur tête fraisée sur le milieu de la pièce centrale (3) comme représentée dans les figures 1 et 2.  The device comprises two manufacturing methods: - in the first the double threaded rod (4a) (4b) consists of two wood screws aligned on the same axis and welded by their milled head on the middle of the central piece (3) as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

- dans le second la pièce centrale (3) est une collerette dont l'ouverture en son centre permet d'introduire la double tige filetée (4a) (4b) jusqu'en son milieu pour l'immobiliser et la rendre solidaire par soudure tel que représenté sur la figure 4.  - In the second the central piece (3) is a collar whose opening in its center allows to introduce the double threaded rod (4a) (4b) to its middle to immobilize and make it integral by welding such as shown in Figure 4.

Le dispositif est en métal lourd du type acier permettant d'effectuer une liaison par brasure ou de préférence par soudure électrique à l'arc sous argon minimisant les contraintes internes et les cassures prématurées du dispositif soumis à des efforts.  The device is made of heavy metal of the steel type making it possible to carry out a connection by brazing or preferably electric arc welding under argon, minimizing the internal stresses and premature breaks of the device subjected to forces.

Pour que le dispositif en métal puisse être stockable il est conseillé de faire un traitement de surface pour le rendre inaltérable par étamage, zingage ou par cadmiage et/ou peinture antirouille.  So that the metal device can be storable it is advisable to make a surface treatment to make it unalterable by tinning, zinc plating or cadmium plating and / or anti-rust paint.

Suivant un autre type de réalisation le dispositif peut être moulable et fabriqué en plastique ou en composite de hautes caractéristiques mécaniques.  According to another type of embodiment the device can be moldable and made of plastic or composite of high mechanical characteristics.
