Abstract
A stand for putting up post or stick-type parts, in particular Christmas trees, comprising the following features: the stand comprises a stabilizing component formed from a second material that has greater strength than a first material from which a wall structure of the stand, forming a receiving space, is formed; the stabilizing component comprises at least one through-opening, through which a guide device is guided; the guide device is connected to a base plate of the stand, so that the stabilizing component is immovably connected to the base plate by means of the guide device; and the clamping device is directly in contact with the stabilizing component.
Claims15
A stand configured to stand up a post-or stick-type part, comprising:
- a base plate;
- a receiving space which is arranged on the base plate and is configured to receive the post-or stick-type part and which is formed by a wall structure formed from a first material;
- at least two holding elements adjoining the receiving space, which are arranged around a central axis of the receiving space so as to be angularly offset and are each pivotable about a pivot axis away from the central axis in a direction of a release position and toward the central axis in a direction of a fixing position;
- a clamping device and the at least two holding elements configured to be movably connectable to each other by a flexible force transmission device,
- wherein the clamping device is movable from an unlocked position in a direction of a secured position, to counteract or prevent pivoting of the at least two holding elements in the direction of the release position;
- and
- a guide device configured to guide the flexible force transmission device to the clamping device,
- a stabilizing component removably attached to the base plate and formed from a second material that has greater strength than the first material, wherein the wall structure and/or the base plate is injection-molded around the stabilizing component;
- the stabilizing component comprises a first through-opening through which the guide device is guided;
- the guide device is connected to the base plate, so that the stabilizing component is immovably connected to the base plate by the guide device;
- the clamping device is directly in contact with the stabilizing component;
- the guide device comprises a first shaft and a first eyelet;
- the first shaft is received in the first through-opening of the stabilizing component and extends through the stabilizing component to the base plate of the stand;
- the first shaft is fastened to the base plate of the stand;
- and
- the first eyelet is configured to guide a first end of the force transmission device therethrough to the clamping device.
