ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a tree stand, especially suitable for Christmas trees, for holding and adjusting the longitudinal angle of a tree trunk placed in the stand. The stand comprises a base member, a cup member, and a means for selectively adjusting and locking the tree trunk in the stand in a fixed angular orientation. The tree stand of the present invention allows a tree trunk placed in the stand to be easily levelled so that the tree is aesthetically pleasing, appearing perpendicular to a floor surface. The present invention also includes a method of using a tree stand, with or without a cup member, which provides a means to easily and efficiently adjust the angular orientation of a tree trunk. The present invention further provides a means to monitor the level of water contained in the cup member.
