Christmas tree stand with elastic element that engages power transmission element

US-7484703-B2

Abstract

Tree stand in which a tensioning device can move a plurality of retaining elements that are arranged about the axis of the receiving area of the stand, by means of a flexible force transmission element that can be loaded with tension, out of a loose position in which the trunk can be adjusted into a support position in which the retaining elements are positioned largely force-free on the trunk, then into an alignment position in which the retaining elements hold the trunk so that it can be aligned, finally into a retaining position in which the trunk is clamped upright, whereby the lower retaining force of the plurality of retaining elements, which force is required in the alignment position, is produced by an elastic buffer element allocated to the force transmission element.
