ABSTRACT:
A Christmas tree stand that enables a user to adjust the vertical alignment of the tree by him/herself. A unique gimbals arrangement is provided that permits adjustment in one plane while the other plane can be fixed. The verticality position is set by merely turning two easily turnable knobs that are tightened against tilt locking plates which are connected to supporting legs that make up the gimbals. Also, the stand has a single bolt attachment mechanism for locking the tree within the stand. A water indicator apparatus that is hung over the side of the stand enables the user to determine the amount of water within the stand without the need for crawling under the tree.
