@ne object of the invention is `to provide a simple and durable device of this clair-ac.-
and cheaply manufactured.
Another object is to provide a device of this character which can be more easily titted to the stub end' of 'the tree than with devices heretofore, b v reason of the detaclnibilit)l of thetree trunk receiving socket member. Another object is to provide a device of this character .which can be quickly and easily folded when not. in use.
Other objects and advantages `will be ap parent from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevationv of a tree holde` made inaccordance with the present invention.
Figure Q is a vertical sectional detail view on the line Q-Q of Figure 1;'
Figure' 3 is a top plan view of the device, the tree holding socket member being removed.
i Referring particnl-.n'ly to the accon1pany ing drawing. 1.0 represents` the body of a metal casting which has the radiating and ltnvnwardly inclined arms 41l. each of which has a rectangular openingr l! therein`- anda pivot pin 13 disposed transversely of said opening. A transverse. and longitudinally and outwardly inclined wall 1l is formed at the outer end of each of the arms. In the center of the body of the casting there is formed a'vertical opening 15, and formed transversely of the casting, and` intersecting said openmg l5, is a threaded opening 16,
in which is engaged a. binding screw 1-7. ,i
Disposed on the upper face of the casting is the base of the tubular tree trunk receiving socket member 181 and formed on the bottom of this member is a central downwardly extending lug 19, which enters said opening 15, and is.
of the said screw 17 therewith;V Four flat `metal legs Q0 are provided, and the upper end of each of the legs is rolled around a pivot pin 13, whereby said legs may be folded downwardly, when the device is not in use. Extending between opposite legs' are the brace members Q1. each having its ends turned'downwardly, as at E22, and disposed against the inner faces of said legs, said ends being apertured, as well as the legs, to re-l ceive the bolts 23 therethrough, winged nuts 2l being engaged on said bolts to clamp the braces against the legs. The braces 21. arepivotally connected together at their intersection. as indicated at Q5, so that when removed they may be folded for storage.
YThreaded through the sides of the tubular member 18 lare the tree trunk engaging screws 26.
It will be noted that when the device is being set up, the walls 14 serve as stops to prevent too great spreading of the legs, therein` permitting the 'more easy application of the braces 21.
ll'hat is .claimed is:
A tree holder comprising a centrally aper tured base having laterally directed pairs of apertured ears with oblique stop elements extending between individual pairs, a tree trunk receiving socket member disposed on the base-and having a central lug seated in the aperture of the base. means carried by the base for releasably` holding the lug in the base, supporting legs movably mounted between the pairs ofl ears and arranged to engage the said stop members, and releas able 4and foldable members connected with said legs.
