Description

CHRISTMAS TREE STAND Filed Feb. 14, 1946 v ATTORNEY 170926; W ad s/0 45017,
Patented July 29, 1947 UNITED I STATES PATENT OFFICE CHRISTMAS TREE STAND August W. Gustafson, Corpus Christi, Tex.
Application February 14, 1946, Serial No. 647,476
2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to supports, and more particularly to stands for supporting Christmas trees or other upright objects.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a stand of simple, inexpensive construction and preferably formed of a sheet metal base detachably connected to a tubular upright.
Another object is to provide a Christmas tree stand including essential elements adapted to be detached from one another to facilitate shipment or storage.
With the foregoing objects outlined and with other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel features hereinafter described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings:
Fig, 1 is an exploded perspective view of the base and tubular upright of the device.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the complete stand shown supporting a Christmas tree trunk.
Referring to the drawing, 4 designates a disk of sheet metal or other suitable material, having suificient rigidity and diameter for its intended purpose, and provided with a central perforation or aperture 5 for the reception of a tubular upright 6, also of metal or the like. The upright extends through the aperture and has a basal flange 7 abutting the bottom surface of the disk. Fastening means 8, such as screws, are in threaded engagement with the tube, above the disk, and serve to clamp the latter against the flange and, thus, rigidly connect the parts together.
When the parts are so assembled, the trunk 9 of a tree may be introduced into the tube and may be secured in position by any suitable means, such as screws l0 which extend through holes H in the upper portion of the tube. Obviously, the detachment of the screws l0 will permit the withdrawal of the trunk 9 from the tube, and disconnection of the screws 8 w l all w t e disk a upright to be separated for storage or shipment.
As the tube may be of various sizes, the device can be used with tree trunks of different thick nesses, and as the base or disk is flat, numerous objects may be placed on it for weighting purposes to prevent toppling of the tree.
From the foregoing, it is believed that the construction of the device and the advantages thereof may be readily understood and it is evident that changes may be made in the details disclosed Without departing from the spirit of the invention, as expressed in the following claims.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A device of the character described, comprising a substantially flat base of rigid sheet material provided with a centrally disposed aperture, a tubular upright extending through the aperture and having a basal flange engaging the bottom of the base, means arranged at the lower end portion of said upright and engaging the top of the base for detachably clamping the base against the flange, and means for detachably securing an inserted object in the upright.
2. A device of the character described, comprising a disk of rigid sheet metal provided with a centrally disposed aperture, a tubular upright extending through the aperture and having a basal flange engaging the bottom of the disk, and screws having threaded engagement with the upright near the lower end of the same and clamping the disk against the flange, and means for detachably securing an inserted object in the upright.
AUGUST W. GUSTAFSON.
