The invention relates to a stand (10) for securing a rod-shaped object, in particular a tree, Christmas tree or similar in a stable manner. Said stand comprises a pedestal region (12), a receiving region (14) that is located in said pedestal region for holding a lower section of the object to be secured and at least three retaining elements (16), which are positioned concentrically around the receiving region (14) and can be pivoted about a respective horizontal shaft (20) on a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tree. Said retaining elements can be clamped against the section of the trunk by means of a single tractive element that is guided in the retaining elements (16) and co-operates with a clamping device (32). One end of the tractive element is mounted in the clamping device (32) and the other end is fixed in one of the retaining elements (16) or to the stand (10). The tractive element is mounted in the retaining elements (16) in the form of a cord sling. |
