ABSTRACT:
A stand for supporting a cut tree trunk in a vertical position includes a tree trunk encircling clamp, having a first curvate locking jaw and a second curvate locking jaw each having a free end and a base end. The base ends are pivotally connected to each other at a base. The locking jaws include a serrated inner surface convexly curved in a radially inward direction facing each other for closure with a tree trunk. A locking clamp includes a rigid handle fixedly secured to the base end of the first locking jaw and a pivoting handle pivotally secured to the second pivoted jaw adjacent the base end of the rigid handle. The pivoting handle extends radially outwardly to respective distal free ends of the first and second curvate locking jaws. An adjustable locking shaft is threadedly mounted within the rigid handle and extends radially inwardly thereof. A pair of elongated locking toggles are pivoted at a respective inner pivot end in the first curvate locking jaw and in the pivoting handle. Each locking toggle includes a free end extending radially outwardly and engaging the locking shaft within the locking handle. A plurality of support legs extend peripherally downwardly from the locking clamp. Each leg includes a floor engaging free end supported upon a threaded leveling shaft with a foot pad assembly.
