ABSTRACT:
A tree stand intended principally for use with a natural Christmas tree includes a substantially hollow frusto conical base portion having a plurality of stepped frusto conical surfaces terminating at an upper end in a cylindrical double-walled well dimensioned for receipt of a trunk portion of a tree. Four circumferentially spaced set screw receiving apertures extend through inner and outer walls of the well. A pair of radially extending bulkheads extend between the inner and outer side walls and include juxtaposed slots mounting edge portions of threaded wafer nuts for engagement with pointed set screws. In use, a user tightens the set screws into engagement with a trunk portion of a tree to centrally secure the same in the cylindrical central well. A metal spike extends centrally upwardly from a floor of the well, reinforced by diametrically and circumferentially extending struts and webs, for engagement into a cut end portion of a tree. The tree stand is preferably integrally molded from a plastic material.
