Abstract (en)
The support consists of a wedge of a foam material which fits into the opening at the top of a pot (1) or other container and has a radial slot for inserting the trunk (2) of the tree into its central aperture. 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.
Abstract (fr)
L'invention concerne un dispositif amovible permettant le maintien en position verticale stable de tous sapins de Noël, arbustes naturels ou artificiels dans un récipient tel que poterie, cache pot ou autre. Elle se présente sous la forme d'une cale (30) dont la matière est de type mousse de polyéthylène qui s'inscrit entre la périphérie du récipient (1) et celle du tronc (2). Cette cale est réalisée avec plusieurs manchons concentriques (3) permettant l'adaptation de plusieurs diamètres de tronc (2) et de plusieurs fourreaux (5) permettant l'adaptation de plusieurs dimensions de récipient. Une fente commune aux manchons et fourreaux permet l'introduction latérale de l'ensemble sur le tronc. <IMAGE>
