DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] FIG. 1 presents a stand according to the invention before bending its support parts; FIG. 2 presents the before mentioned stand in 3D; FIG. 3 presents more closely a cut made to the body of the stand; FIG. 4 presents the stand after the support parts have been bent seen directly from the front; FIG. 5 presents the before mentioned stand in 3D; FIGS. 6 and 7 present the before mentioned stand in use; FIG. 8a presents one other technique of the cut of the invention; FIG. 8b presents a solution of the invention coming out of the mentioned cut; FIG. 9 presents a table and floor solution of the invention; FIG. 10 presents a solution that differs from the previous ones.

[0026] Next a construction and operation of a favorable solution is described referring to the before mentioned figures.

[0027] In FIGS. 1 and 2 there has been shown a stand 10 according to the invention in a situation where the support organs supporting the vessels to be put in it have not yet been bent into their final position. The stand 10 has been placed in the figures upright that is its usage position. The stand has a board like body 1 and the stand of this example has six similar cuts 2. The cut that has been presented zoomed in FIG. 3 goes all the way through the body and it consists of the first ring 2.1 and the second ring 2.2. The mentioned rings are a bit less than whole rings and they have been joined in the down end into each other with the third parts 2.3 of the mentioned cuts so that there will be left between them the first isthmus 3. The outer that is the first ring 2.1 is of two parts and at its top end between the parts of these ends is the other isthmus 4. The second isthmus 4 has been continued upwards with the fourth parts 2.4 of the upwards continued cuts 2 of the ends of the first ring 2.1. Between the first ring 2.1, the second ring 2.2 and the third parts 2.4 of the cuts there is the round first support part 5 that is fixed to the other body by the second isthmus 4. Inside the inner second ring 2.2 there is the second support part 6 that is fixed to the other body by the first isthmus 3. On two sides of the body 1, in this example on the top and the down edge, there are the bending 1.1 and there have been made fixing holes 1.2 to the body to fix it to the wall. The before mentioned stand 10 is ready to be packaged and transported to its usage location.

[0028] In FIGS. 4-7 there has been described the stand 10 according to the invention ready to be used and fixed to the wall 20 through holes 1.2 and in use. The first support parts 5 have been turned upwards from the level of the body 1 in certain angle a to the surface 1.5 of the body. The second support parts 6 have been bent downwards from the surface of the body into such an angle 13 to the surface 1.5 of the body in such a way that the mentioned support parts are essentially parallel. The cut 2 has been formed so that the bottom of the vessel 11 inside the first support part 5 comes upon the second support part 6. The first support part 5 has been bent by bending the second isthmus 4 and the second support part 6 has been bent by bending the first isthmus 3. The bending 1.1 of the body sides set the body 2 upright part loose from the wall 20 so the lids of the bottles and the jars can be kept in the openings of the body. The stand according to the invention can also be realized without bending 1.1.

[0029] According to the FIG. 7 the vessels 11 have been settled to the stand 10 in inclined position in relation to the body. With favorable shape of the cut 2 and favorable bending angles and it is possible to get a situation where the length axis 11.1 of the vessel 11 that has been put to the opening 5.1 of the first support part 5 is essentially located in the middle 6.1 of the second support part 6.

[0030] The stand 10 according to the invention can also be realized so that there is not the second support part 6 in one or more vessel location. In such a case, the second ring 2.2 of the cut 2 is made a closed ring and its inside part is removed. The bottom of the vessel 11 can in this case be supported to the opening 1.3 of the body. In FIG. 8a there has been presented the cut 2 to be made in this kind of solution of the invention and in the FIG. 8b there has been presented a setting where the vessel 11 has been put into this kind of stand 10. It is possible to get additional support for the bottom of the vessel 11 by adapting a twist to the down part (in usage position) of the second ring 2.2 that produces a tumbler 1.4 directing to the body forming opening 1.3.

[0031] The material of the stand according to the invention is metal, plastic, or some other material that does not break when bending the isthmuses 3, 4 and that the support parts 5, 6 are able to retain their positions after bending. The wall thickness of the body 1 is selected so that the bending can be made in the desired way either by hand or using a certain tool.

[0032] The stands 10 can be produced for the vessels 11. The support parts 5, 6 can be formed according to the vessels 11 that are used either curved or angular and their distance from each other can be regulated according to the vessel heights that are kept in the stand. The vessel amount in a stand can be selected freely and they can be placed in many ways. One favorable way for the vessel layout is to form between the superimposed vessel location rows sideways steps so that the surface of the body is used more efficiently.

[0033] As we know the shape of the vessels 11 to be used in the stand 10 the cuts 2 can be designed and realized favorably for them.

[0034] The stand 10 can also be realized so that the surface 1.5 of the body is inclined in relation to upright position when it is in its usage position. When the stand is fixed to an upright wall this can be realized for example so that the bending 1.1 of the upper part of the body is more/less or steeper/gentler than the down part bending.

[0035] The stand 10 according to the invention can also be realized as a table or floor stand. In that case there will be adapted a table or floor foot. According to the FIG. 9 principle the foot part or foot can be realized for instance as a bending 1.6 of the down part of the body 1 and the bend is adapted according to the base 21 in the surface of the table or the floor direction. It is possible to make to the bending place something that renders the bending easier, e.g. auxiliary cuts.

[0036] In FIG. 10 there has been described a solution of the invention that is different from the previous ones: a stand for the grave candles. The sharp down part to be pushed to the earth and a cross shape upper part forming body 1 is essentially upright and the first support part 5 and the second support part 6 have both been turned 90 to the surface 1.5 of the body and the object 11 that in this example is a grave candle has thus been put essentially upright. In this example the cross can also be replaced by half moon.

[0037] The body 1 can be shaped by its outer edges in all cases according to the usage of the stand. It is central for the invention that in spite of the shape of the outer edges the body 1 is always flat and that the cut/s 2 produce at least one first support part 5 that is still a part of the mentioned body. So the stand 10 is as a whole of one and same piece.

[0038] The stand 10 can be adapted very largely to be used with different kinds of objects and vessels 11. The stand can also be shaped for many such objects and vessels that have not been mentioned separately in this document.

[0039] The cuts 2 can be made in the method according to the invention most favorably by laser or water cutting method. The method according to the invention is not limited to be realized only by these cutting methods, but the cuts can be made also by some other method like for instance a mechanical machining or any other usable method.

[0040] It is characteristic for the method according to the invention that the cuts can be made to the stand 10 in different locations than the bending of the support parts 5, 6. In this case the stand 10 can be transported from the production location to the usage place favorably in a flat board like package and it can be adapted to the usage state by bending the mentioned support parts and possibly also the foot part into the usage position.

[0041] It is possible to add to the transportation package of the stand 10 according to the invention instructions about the favorable bending angles , of the support parts 5, 6 so that the stand can be made quickly into the usage state.

[0042] It should be noticed that even though this description sticks to one for the invention favorable application example this does not want to limit the usage of the invention to only this kind of application, instead, many variations are possible within the invention idea as presented in the claims.
