This invention relates to supports for Christmas trees or thingsof a similarcharacter.
Generally stated, the object of the inven- 7 support, having improved means for holding water to keep the tree from'getting dry.
It is also an object to provide certain details and features of construction and 001101 binations tending to increase the general efli ciency and the desirability of a support of this particular character.
To these and other useful ends, the inven- 'tion consists in the matters hereinafter set forth and claimed, and shown intheaccompanying drawings, in which-- V Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a support embodying the principles of the invention.
F ig. 2 is a plan of the said support, certain portions being broken away in both views for convenience of illustration.
As thus illustrated, the invention comprise a horizontally disposed and rectangular frame comprising the bars 1 that are bent outwardly-at' their ends and held together by the bolts 2' as'shown; The bars 3 have their outerends held between the end. portions of the bars 1, so that they are'held in place by the said bolts 2, while the inner ends o'fthe- J bars 3 are held inplace by bolts 4 inserted through the lugs'5'on the sheet metal base 10 plate 6 as shown, which plate 6 or other suitable element form-s a necessary link in a separable frame structure. .A sheet metal cup 7, preferably formed to taper downwardly,
--is secured to the plate 6 in any suitable or desired manner. The four clamplng mem be rs 8 are adjustably held togetherby the bolts9, as shown in'Fig. -2 of the drawings,
"and upwardly extending inclinedbars 10 have their upper ends held in place by these bolts'Q, while the 'lowerends of the bars 10 V will-thus be kept from drying" out" by {the supporting structure is braced :in
.aratejcenter member-at :the bottom of said inserted b'etween the'enll-s of thefbars l in and held in place by "the bolts 2 prer'riou'sly mentioned. i i Y i WVithQthe "foregoing construction," which is illustrative] (if-one form of the i'nventi omthe' trunk ii-{of the tree' 'can be inserted -in'pla'ce as shown, the clamping elements8bein gadi justable tocla'mp tree trunks-ofy'different diameters;- The'lower' end of'the tree trunk will rest in the cup 7, as shown, andthe tree water-held in said cup. j I
Byremoving theibolts 2and 9, the enti'r e structure can be knocked down,it'willbe -seien, and conveniently storedfonpacked for trans-i p'ortation. By means of saidboltstheframe work of the support can thereafter-be quickly assembled and held together for use'in the manner shown and described. Itwill'b'e understood, of course, that the invention is not limited to Christmas trees, as it may be used for other purposes, as for'sup-,
porting flag poles, or signs or anything else having alower portion that may be clamped in place instead of the tree trunk. 7;;
.- It will be seen that each end of every bar 1, 3 and 10, is disconnectable, whereby the entire structure may be taken apart for storage or shipment. Y The bars'l form a rectangular base for the frame, and the cup '7 is at the center of the base, andthe cup support 6 rests on the floor to take the'weight of the tree or other objectoff the frame bars. Thus no weight is imposed upon thejframe bars by" the tree or other object, and with the four equidistant corners of the rectangular base of the frame bearing upon the floor, the entire 1 all directions against tippingover,
[Without di'sclaiming anything, andwitha '90 out prejudiceitoanyn'ovelty disclosed, what I claimfasmy-invention is: 4 l. A support for engaging andholding up- 7 right the trunk portion of a'Christm'as tree or any otherobje'ct having aportion' similar 7 to the'tree trunk, comprising'bars forming a frame provided atits top with engaging" meansto hold the tree trunk orother object inposition, andhavi'hg a structurally sep- I frame to engage the lower endv of saidtree trunk or other object, forming a link in the frame and resting on the floor, said frame having a horizontal rectangular base of some breadth to rest horizontally on the floor, the
four corners of the base being spaced in fixed relation by the four sides of the rectangle, I and the frame tapering upward at a fixed angle from the four corners of said base to said engaging means.
2. A structure as specified'in claim 1, said frame comprising bars detachably held together by removable bolts, there being a removable bolt at each end of each bar, some of said bars detachably'co'nnected to said upper. engaging means, and. some of said bars beingdetachably connected to said member, each end of every bar being disconnectable whereby the support may be taken apart and knocked down for-storage or transportation;
3. A structure as specified in claim 1, said lower member being in theformof a down- Wardly tapered cup to receive the lower end portion of the tree trunk oriother object, disposed at the center of said rectangular base to rest on the floor to take theWeight of the tree or other object off said frame adapted to contain Water to keep the trunk moist.
f; v4. A structure as specified in claim 1, said upper engaging means being adjustable in diameter for tree trunks or other objects of diiferent diameters.
