CHRISTMAS TREE STAND WITH FLOAT SYSTEM, LOW WATER INDICATOR, AND INDEPENDENT SPRING COMPRESSION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention generally relates to a live plant or tree, such as, a Christmas tree that is being held in water, inside a stand, and also has a low water indicator. The present invention also provides a Christmas tree stand that has a low water indicator, and has an independent spring compression system that is self-adjusting and serves to position the tree securely and up-right. The low water indicator system is a float device that will rise and fall with the water level, mainly including a float, plunger, activation wire, power source, and buzzer that is built or attached to the tree stand. As the water level drops the float-plunger system activates an electrical connection and causes an alarm to be activated. Upon the activation of the alarm the tree stand will require water, and once water is added, the alarm will automatically deactivate.

主权项

1. A tree stand comprising:
(a) a stand having a base and a neck, said neck having at least one opening for passage of a trunk of a tree; (b) at least one water reservoir contained within said stand, and wherein said water reservoir is between said base and said neck of said stand; (c) at least one tube secured and interconnected with said water reservoir, and wherein said at least one tube has a plunger which move vertically within said at least one tube, and wherein water freely moves between said at least one tube and said at least one water reservoir; (d) said plunger having a shaft, and wherein an activation disc is secured to an upper end of said shaft, and at least one float is secured to a lower end of said shaft, and wherein said float is in physical contact with said water in said tube, and wherein said plunger moves vertically within said at least one tube as a result of water movement within said at least one water reservoir and said at least one tube; and (e) wherein said stand has at least one electrical bridge, at least one activation contact, at least one power source contact, and at least one power source therein, and wherein said activation disc activates an alarm when said water level is below a first threshold, and wherein said alarm is activated when said activation disc comes in contact with said at least one electrical bridge, said at least one activation contact, and said at least one power source contact.
