摘要：An assembly (10) for holding a tree (12) in an upright position above a levelsurface (14) includes a base (22) for supporting the tree (12). A rim (24) holds a quantityof water (20) on the base (22) and in contact with the tree's trunk end (16). Four retainerpins (60) hold the trunk end (16) centrally on the base means (22). A back-up retainer (32)limits trunk end (16) sliding or twisting while allowing the quantity of water (20) to flow tothe trunk end (16). Guy elements (28) engage the trunk (18) of the tree at an elevatedposition above the trunk's end (16) and resist tree-tipping forces. Clamps (30), disposedat spaced locations around the rim (24), hold the guy elements (28) to the rim (24). Eachclamp (30) has a lever arm (118) that adjustably and releasably clamps the guy elements (28) to the base (22) as the lever arm (18) is pivoted between engaged (A) and disengaged(B) positions. A reservoir fence (176) prevents objects, such as tree skirts from contactingthe water (20). The assembly (10) is fully stackable when disassembled.
