| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a Christmas tree stand, and a method of maintaining a Christmas tree in a substantially upright position, and includes a reservoir 3 with retaining parts 9 at upper and lower ends thereof, and an outer container into which the reservoir 3 is configured to be securable, the container configured to substantially conceal the reservoir and having a base larger than the reservoir. This prevents damage to floor surfaces (such as carpets and tiles) and prevents accidental contact by passers-by with difficult-to-see legs and/or arms. The reservoir may be removed and re-attached to the outer container, may take the form of an insert and have a further tree-retention part with a spatial support. The outer container may be made of flat panels and have at least one opening for a lighting cable. |
