Tensioning device for tree stand for Christmas trees has coupling ratchet that shifts from deactivated to activated condition if force on clamping lever exceeds limiting value

摘要

Retainers clamp the tree trunk when a clamping lever (6) is actuated. A support pedal (7) at the free end of the clamping lever has a coupling ratchet (21) that shifts from a deactivated condition to an activated condition if the force on the clamping lever exceeds a limiting value to indicate that the required retaining force has been achieved.
