Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0613645A1] The invention relates to a tree holder, in particular Christmas tree holder, with a pot (2) and an insert (3), capable of being inserted into and taken out of the pot (2), for fixing and centering trees, the insert (3) having a ring (10) which coaxially surrounds its longitudinal axis (17) and to which at least two web-like parts (18-20) are fixed, each of which extends up to the outer wall (7) of the pot (2) and whose ends (side parts (21-23)) remote from the ring (10) are guided around the upper edge (4) of the pot (2). In order to guarantee a firm seating of the generally prefabricated inserts (3) in the pot (2) even where the external dimensions vary from one pot to another, the invention proposes to provide at least one resilient frictional connection between the side parts (21-23) and the pot (2). This is preferably achieved in that the side parts (21-23) are bent back inwards towards the longitudinal axis (17) of the insert (3) and contact the outer wall (7) of the pot (3) at least in a region (26,27) in a frictionally locking manner. <IMAGE>
