[0021] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. For ease of illustration and understanding, the dimensional ratios in the drawings may be changed from the actual dimensional ratios. Components shown in some drawings may be omitted in other drawings.

[0022] Terms for specifying geometric conditions such as shape, "parallel" and "orthogonal", length and angle values ​​are not to be interpreted strictly, but are to be interpreted within a range to which similar functions can be expected.

[0023] Directions common to the drawings are indicated by arrows with the same symbol in each drawing. In each illustrated direction, the tip of the arrow is the first side, and the opposite side to the first side, i.e., the base of the arrow, is the second side. The first side, which is perpendicular to the drawing, is indicated by a symbol with a dot in a circle. The second side, which is perpendicular to the drawing, is indicated by a symbol with an X in a circle.

[0024] 1 to 4 are diagrams illustrating one embodiment. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a Christmas tree 1. The Christmas tree 1 includes a base 10 and a Christmas tree main body 2 attached to the base 10. The base 10 supports the Christmas tree main body 2.

[0025] The Christmas tree 1 in FIG. 1 is used for indoor decoration. The Christmas tree 1 is installed indoors. The Christmas tree 1 is installed in an inside corner 100C. The installation location of the Christmas tree 1 includes a floor 101 and a wall 102 rising from the floor 101. The illustrated wall 102 includes a first wall 102A and a second wall 102B. The illustrated first wall 102A and second wall 102B form a right angle. The floor 101, the first wall 102A, and the second wall 102B form an inside corner 100C. The Christmas tree 1 is in contact with the floor 101 from the base 10. The floor 101 forms the installation surface of the base 10.

[0026] 2 is a plan view of the Christmas tree 1 of FIG. 1. "Plan view" or "plan view" means a view seen from above or viewed from above. Upward refers to the upper side in the vertical direction. Downward refers to the lower side in the vertical direction. The vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to the installation surface of the base 10. The upper side in the vertical direction is the direction in which the height from the installation surface increases in the vertical direction. The lower side in the vertical direction is the direction in which the height from the installation surface decreases in the vertical direction. In FIGS. 1 to 4, the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the floor 101. In FIGS. 1 to 4, upward refers to the direction in which the height from the floor 101 increases. A "plan view" may also be referred to as a "plan view seen from above." A "plan view" may also be referred to as a "plan view seen from above."

[0027] The height of the Christmas tree 1, that is, the vertical dimension thereof, may be 90 cm or more and 180 cm or less. The height of the Christmas tree 1 may be any of 90 cm, 120 cm, and 180 cm.

[0028] <Christmas tree body 2> The Christmas tree main body 2 in Figures 1 and 2 has a shape that partially resembles a tree. The Christmas tree main body 2 includes a trunk 3 and a plurality of branches 4 that spread out from the trunk 3. The trunk 3 resembles a tree trunk. The branches 4 resemble tree branches. Strips of film that resemble leaves are attached to the illustrated branches 4. The trunk 3 and branches 4 may be made of wood, resin, or metal.

[0029] The multiple branches 4 may extend over a range of 80° to 100° in plan view. The multiple branches 4 may extend over a range of 80° to 90° in plan view. The multiple branches 4 shown in FIG. 2 extend between the first wall 102A and the second wall 102B, which form a right angle in plan view. Therefore, in the Christmas tree main body 2 shown in FIG. 2, the multiple branches 4 extend over a range of 90° or less in plan view.

[0030] In a conventional Christmas tree body, multiple branches radiate from the trunk. When the conventional Christmas tree body is attached to a base and viewed from the side, i.e., from a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction, the width of the conventional Christmas tree body gradually increases downward. Note that the width of the Christmas tree body is the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The width of a conventional Christmas tree increases as the height of the Christmas tree body increases. The increased width of the Christmas tree body increases the space required to set up the Christmas tree.

[0031] In contrast, in the Christmas tree main body 2 shown in Figures 1 and 2, the angular range over which the multiple branches 4 extend from the trunk 3 is narrowed to 90° or less in a plan view when viewed from above. Furthermore, in the illustrated Christmas tree 1, as will be described later, the space for installing the base 10 is contained between the first wall 102A and the second wall 102B. As a result, even if the illustrated Christmas tree 1 has a relatively large height, an increase in width can be suppressed. Therefore, the Christmas tree 1 can reduce the space required for installation indoors.

[0032] The branches 4 may be able to swing relative to the trunk 3. The Christmas tree main body 2 may be foldable by the branches 4 swinging relative to the trunk 3. A foldable Christmas tree main body 2 can reduce the space required for storage.

[0033] <Pedestal 10> FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the base 10. The base 10 includes a columnar main body 20 and a plurality of legs 30 attached to the main body 20. Each of the plurality of legs 30 is attached to a side portion 21 of the main body 20. The base 10 shown in FIG. 4 includes three legs 30 as the plurality of legs 30. The base 10 includes a first leg 301, a second leg 302, and a third leg 303. Note that the third leg 303 is omitted from FIGS. 1 and 3.

[0034] 3 and 4, the base 10 may include at least one support portion 40. The illustrated base 10 includes one support portion 40. The support portion 40 is attached to the side portion 21 of the main body 20. When the base 10 in FIG. 4 is viewed from above, the length by which the support portion 40 protrudes from the main body 20 is smaller than the length by which the multiple legs 30 protrude from the main body 20.

[0035] From the viewpoint of stably supporting the base 10, it is preferable that the support portion 40 be disposed in the center portion of the first angle region R1, as shown in FIG.

[0036] The support part 40 may be attached to the side part 21 at a position opposite to any of the legs 30. In the base 10 of Figures 3 and 4, the support part 40 is attached to a position opposite to the third leg part 303. The illustrated support part 40 supports the main body 20 from a position opposite to the leg 30.

[0037] 3 and 4, the base 10 may include a plurality of support portions 40. The number of support portions 40 may be one, two, or three.

[0038] 3 and 4, the main body 20 and the plurality of legs 30 are detachable from each other. The main body 20 and the support portion 40 are detachable from each other. The legs 30 and the support portion 40 may be attached to the main body 20 when the base 10 is used, i.e., when the Christmas tree 1 is set up. The legs 30 and the support portion 40 may be detached from the main body 20 when the base 10 is not in use.

[0039] The base 10 may be colored. The main body 20, the plurality of legs 30, and the support portion 40 may each be colored. The base 10 may be colored in a color similar to that of the Christmas tree main body 2. The base 10 may be colored brown. The base 10 may be colored green.

[0040] FIG. 4 is a plan view of the base 10. The main body 20 shown in FIG. 4 has a polygonal shape when viewed from above. The main body 20 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has a recess 20C that opens upward. The lower end of the trunk 3 of the Christmas tree main body 2 is placed in the recess 20C. This allows the main body 20 to partially accommodate the trunk 3 of the Christmas tree main body 2.

[0041] 3 and 4 includes a top portion 22 and a side portion 21 connected to the top portion 22. The recess 20C opens to the top portion 22. The top portion 22 faces the axial direction of the main body 20. The side portion 21 extends downward from the top portion 22. Note that "downward" refers to the direction toward the installation surface of the base 10 in the axial direction of the main body 20.

[0042] The side portion 21 shown in FIG. 3 is provided with a plurality of grooves 23. The leg portions 30 can be inserted into the grooves 23. The grooves 23 extend in the axial direction of the main body 20. The grooves 23 open downward. In the illustrated base 10, the grooves 23 open downward, allowing the engaging portions 31 (described later) of the leg portions 30 to be inserted into the grooves 23 from below. The engaging portions 31 are inserted into the grooves 23 from below, whereby the leg portions 30 are attached to the side portion 21 of the main body 20.

[0043] The support part 40 may be insertable into the groove 23. In the base 10 of Figures 3 and 4, the groove 23 opens downward, allowing an engaging part 41 (described later) of the support part 40 to be inserted. The engaging part 41 is inserted into 23 from below, whereby the support part 40 is attached to the side part 21 of the main body 20.

[0044] The number of grooves 23 provided in side portion 21 may be two, three, four, five, or six. In base 10, any of the multiple grooves 23 may be used. In other words, the multiple grooves 23 may include grooves 23 into which legs 30 or supports 40 are inserted. In base 10, any of the multiple grooves 23 may not be used. In other words, the multiple grooves 23 may include grooves 23 into which neither legs 30 nor supports 40 are inserted.

[0045] 4, in a plan view of the base 10 seen from above, a first angular region R1 is formed between two adjacent legs 30 in the circumferential direction DC. In the plan view, the circumferential direction DC is a circumferential direction centered on the axis AS of the main body 20. The axis AS of the main body 20 is identified as the center of gravity of the main body 20 when the base 10 is seen in plan.

[0046] 4 is formed between the first leg portion 301 and the second leg portion 302 in the circumferential direction DC. The angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 is equal to or greater than 250° and equal to or less than 290°. The angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 may be equal to or greater than 260° and equal to or less than 280°, or may be equal to or greater than 265° and equal to or less than 275°.

[0047] The angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 is the angle between the center lines of the multiple legs 30 in the width direction when the base 10 is viewed from above. The width direction of the legs 30 is a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the legs 30. The angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 may be determined from a photograph of the base 10 in a plan view. In the base 10 of FIG. 4, the angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 is the reflex angle between the center line of the first leg 301 in the width direction and the center line of the second leg 302 in the width direction.

[0048] The "longitudinal direction" and "width direction" used for the leg portion 30 are specified in a plan view of the leg portion 30. The width direction of the leg portion 30 is a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the leg portion 30.

[0049] In the base 10 shown in FIG. 4, the legs 30 are not arranged over the range of angle θ1 in the first angle region R1. In the first angle region R1, the protrusion length of the base 10 in the radial direction DR is reduced by not arranging the legs 30. In the first angle region R1, the base 10 can reduce the space required for installation. Compared to conventional bases in which multiple legs extend radially from the main body, the base 10 can reduce the space required for installation. The radial direction DR is a direction perpendicular to the axis AS of the main body 20.

[0050] In particular, the base 10 in Fig. 4 can be placed between a first wall 102A and a second wall 102B that are perpendicular to each other by setting the angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 to be equal to or greater than 250° and equal to or less than 290°. In the illustrated base 10, the first leg 301 is placed so as to extend along the first wall 102A, and the second leg 302 is placed so as to extend along the second wall 102B in a plan view. This allows the base 10 to be placed near an inside corner 100C, as shown in Fig. 4.

[0051] Furthermore, in the Christmas tree main body 2 attached to the base 10, the multiple branches 4 can be spread out between the first wall 102A and the second wall 102B as described above. This allows the Christmas tree 1, which is a combination of the base 10 and the Christmas tree main body 2, to be placed near the inside corner 100C, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Therefore, the Christmas tree 1 requires less space for installation than conventional Christmas trees.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, a second angle region R2 different from the first angle region R1 is formed on the base 10 in a plan view. The illustrated second angle region R2 is a region other than the first angle region R1. The second angle region R2 is a region sandwiched between the first angle regions R1 in the circumferential direction DC. The angle θ2 of the second angle region R2 is the value obtained by subtracting the angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 from the entire circumference of the base 10, i.e., 360°. In FIG. 4, the angle θ2 of the second angle region R2 is equal to or greater than 70° and equal to or less than 110°. The angle θ2 of the second angle region R2 may be equal to or greater than 80° and equal to or less than 100°, or may be equal to or greater than 85° and equal to or less than 95°.

[0053] The angle θ2 of the second angle region R2 is the angle between the center lines of the multiple legs 30 in the width direction when the base 10 is viewed from above. The angle θ2 of the second angle region R2 is determined as 360° minus the angle θ1 of the first angle region R1. The angle θ2 of the second angle region R2 may be determined from a photograph of the base 10 in a plan view. In the base 10 of FIG. 4, the angle θ2 of the second angle region R2 is the minor angle between the center line of the first leg 301 in the width direction and the center line of the second leg 302 in the width direction.

[0054] 4, the angles φ1, φ2 between two adjacent legs 30 in the circumferential direction DC are not less than 35° and not more than 55°. In the illustrated base 10, the angle φ1 between the first leg 301 and the third leg 303 in the circumferential direction DC is not less than 35° and not more than 55°. In addition, the angle φ2 between the second leg 302 and the third leg 303 in the circumferential direction DC is not less than 35° and not more than 55°.

[0055] 3 and 4, the base 10 may include at least one support part 40 attached to the side part 21 of the main body 20. The illustrated base 10 includes one support part 40. Unlike the illustrations, the base 10 may include multiple support parts 40. The support part 40 supports the main body 20 from below. By supporting the main body 20 from below, the support part 40 allows the base 10 to be stably installed on an installation surface.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 4, the support portion 40 is located in a first angle region R1. The protruding length of the support portion 40 in the radial direction DR is smaller than the protruding length of the leg portion 30 in the radial direction DR. The protruding length of the support portion 40 in the radial direction DR may be 50% or less, 30% or less, or 25% or less of the protruding length of the leg portion 30 in the radial direction. The protruding length of the support portion 40 in the radial direction DR may be 5% or more, 10% or more, or 15% or more of the protruding length of the leg portion 30 in the radial direction.

[0057] The support portion 40 can suppress an increase in the protruding length of the base 10 in the radial direction DR in the first angle region R1. Therefore, the illustrated support portion 40 suppresses an increase in the installation space for the base 10 in the first angle region R1, and allows the base 10 to be stably installed on the installation surface.

[0058] The configurations of the legs 30 and the support parts 40 will be described in detail below.

[0059] <Leg 30> 3 and 4 includes an engagement portion 31 that engages with the groove 23 of the main body 20. The engagement portion 31 is located at one end of the leg 30 in the longitudinal direction. The engagement portion 31 includes a bottom wall portion 34, two side wall portions 35 extending from the bottom wall portion 34, and a connecting wall portion 36 connecting the two side wall portions 35. As shown in FIG. 4, the two side wall portions 35 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction.

[0060] 3 and 4 includes a connecting wall 36 that connects two side wall portions 35. The connecting wall 36 extends upward from the bottom wall portion 34. When the leg portion 30 is viewed from above, the connecting wall 36 is located in the center in the width direction.

[0061] When the illustrated leg 30 is attached to the side 21 of the main body 20, the connecting wall 36 is inserted into the groove 23 of the main body 20. The side 21 is located between two side walls 35.

[0062] The bottom wall 34 restricts downward movement of the leg 30 relative to the main body 20 when the leg 30 is attached to the main body 20. The two side walls 35 restrict longitudinal movement of the leg 30 relative to the main body 20 when the leg 30 is attached to the main body 20. The connecting wall 36 restricts widthwise movement of the leg 30 relative to the main body 20 when the leg 30 is attached to the main body 20.

[0063] 4 includes a first protrusion 32 and a second protrusion 33 that protrude downward. When the leg 30 is attached to the main body 20, the first protrusion 32 and the second protrusion 33 come into contact with the installation surface of the base 10. The first protrusion 32 and the second protrusion 33 include portions that extend along the installation surface of the base 10.

[0064] <Support part 40> 3 and 4 includes an engagement portion 41 that engages with the groove 23 of the main body 20. The engagement portion 41 is located at one end of the support portion 40 in the longitudinal direction. The engagement portion 41 includes a bottom wall portion 44, two side wall portions 45 extending from the bottom wall portion 44, and a connecting wall portion 46 connecting the two side wall portions 45. As shown in FIG. 4, the two side wall portions 45 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction.

[0065] 3 and 4 includes a connecting wall 46 that connects two side wall portions 45. The connecting wall portion 46 extends upward from the bottom wall portion 44. The connecting wall portion 46 is located in the center in the width direction when the leg portion 30 is viewed from above.

[0066] When the illustrated leg 30 is attached to the side 21 of the main body 20, the connecting wall 46 is inserted into the groove 23 of the main body 20. The side 21 is located between the two side walls 45.

[0067] The bottom wall 44 restricts downward movement of the leg 30 relative to the main body 20 when the leg 30 is attached to the main body 20. The two side walls 45 restrict longitudinal movement of the leg 30 relative to the main body 20 when the leg 30 is attached to the main body 20. The connecting wall 46 restricts widthwise movement of the leg 30 relative to the main body 20 when the leg 30 is attached to the main body 20.

[0068] In the embodiment described above, the base 10 supports the Christmas tree main body 2. The base 10 includes a main body 20 that partially supports the trunk 3 of the Christmas tree main body 2, and a plurality of legs 30 attached to the side portions 21 of the main body 20. In a plan view from above, the base 10 has a first angular region R1 formed between the plurality of legs 30 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction DC. The circumferential direction DC is a direction centered on the axis AS of the main body 20. The angle of the first angular region R1 is equal to or greater than 250° and equal to or less than 290°. According to this embodiment, the protruding length of the base 10 in the first angular region R1 can be reduced in a plan view, and the base 10 can be installed along a plurality of walls 102 that are perpendicular to each other.

[0069] Although one embodiment has been described with reference to specific examples, the above-described specific examples do not limit the present invention. The above-described embodiment can be implemented with various other specific examples, and various omissions, substitutions, changes, additions, etc. can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0070] <Modification> Various modified examples of the present embodiment will be described. When the modified examples are described with reference to the drawings, the same components as those in the above-described specific example will be assigned the same reference numerals as those in the above-described specific example, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0071] In the above-described base 10, the main body 20 and the legs 30 are detachable from each other. The main body 20 and the support 40 are detachable from each other. However, this is not limiting, and the main body 20 and the legs 30 may be integrated into the base 10. The main body 20, the legs 30, and the support 40 may be integrated into the base 10. By integrating the main body 20 and the legs 30, or the main body 20, the legs 30, and the support 40, the number of parts constituting the base 10 can be reduced.

[0072] The multiple legs 30 may be attached at different positions on the side portion 21. By attaching the multiple legs 30 at different positions on the side portion 21, a variable angle region R3 may be formed between the multiple legs 30 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction DC in a plan view of the base 10 from above. The variable angle region R3 may be switchable between a first state and a second state having mutually different angles. In the first state, the angle θ3 of the third angle region R3 is equal to or greater than 250° and equal to or less than 290°, similar to the angle θ1 of the first angle region R1 shown in FIG. 3. In the second state, the angle θ3 of the third angle region R3 is equal to or greater than 160° and equal to or less than 200°. FIG. 5 shows the variable angle region R3 in the second state.

[0073] By setting the angle θ3 of the variable angle region R3 to be equal to or greater than 160° and equal to or less than 200°, the base 10 in the second state can be placed along the wall 102, as shown in Fig. 5. In the plan view of the base 10 shown in Fig. 5, the first leg 301 and the second leg 302 each extend along the wall 102. Even in the second state, the base 10 requires less space for installation than a conventional base in which multiple legs extend radially from the main body.

[0074] In the Christmas tree main body 2 attached to the base 10 in the second state, the branches 4 may be spread out over a range of 180° or less. The Christmas tree 1 combined with the base 10 and the Christmas tree main body 2 in the second state can expand the observable area compared to the state shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0075] The base 10 described above supports the Christmas tree body 2. The use of the base 10 is not limited to the Christmas tree 1. The base 10 may also be used for a coat rack 6, as shown in FIG. 6. The coat rack 6 in FIG. 6 includes a coat rack body 7 and the base 10 attached to the coat rack body 7.

[0076] The coat rack main body 7 in Figure 6 includes a stem 8 and a plurality of protrusions 9 protruding from the stem 8. In the coat rack 6, a coat is hung on any of the plurality of protrusions 9. In addition to coats, any of jackets, hats, mufflers, scarves, bags, and hangers may also be hung on the coat rack 6.

[0077] In the coat rack main body 7, the multiple protrusions 9 may extend from the trunk 8 in a range of 80° to 100° in plan view. A coat rack 6 that combines such a coat rack main body 7 with the above-mentioned base 10 can be installed between the first wall 102A and the second wall 102B, similar to the Christmas tree 1 described with reference to Figure 2. This allows for a reduction in the space required for installation indoors. [Explanation of symbols]
