ABSTRACT:
A system for supporting and stabilizing a Christmas tree and the like that includes an anchor secured to an overhead structure, such as the ceiling of a room. A clamp is connected to a portion of the tree, such as the tip of the trunk, and an elongate flexible leash is connected between the anchor and the clamp. The clamp is secured to the tree by encircling its tongue around the tree trunk and then threading the tongue through a retainer formed on the end of the tongue that slidably retains the tongue. The leash is slidably attached to the clamp by means of one or more retainers attached to the clamp. The tongue and the leash have ribs spaced along their lengths. The retainers have deformable members that engage the ribs so as to permit the tongue or leash to slide through the retainer in a first direction during insertion but that prevent the tongue or leash from withdrawing from the retainer by sliding back out in an opposite direction. The system can be used to support and stabilize a Christmas tree that has been placed in an upright position by means of a stand so as to prevent the tree from tipping over, or it can be used to place the tree in the upright position independently of the stand.
