Tree holding device with adjustable base angle

Abstract

The present invention comprises a novel tree holding and base angle adjustment device that is comprised of a base with an open container style water basin centered on the base. The water basin has an inner barrier that is built such that a lag bolt style spindle screw can reside in the center of the inner barrier without water leaking out of the water basin. The spindle screw is designed such that it captures the tree holding device and is driven into the center of the bottom surface of a tree trunk, thereby solidly attaching the base of the tree holding device to the tree and disallowing any movement between the two. The base has adjustable feet for adjusting the angle and position of the base and the attached tree. The tree holding device can be used for displaying, holding, and adjusting trees in an upright position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tree holding device with base angle adjustment for displaying, holding, and adjusting trees in an upright position. 
     
     
         2 . The tree holding device of  claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a leg arrangement where the legs are oriented to each other in the shape of triangle, square, circle, or any other shape. 
     
     
         3 . The tree holding device of  claim 1 , further comprising a water basin with inner and outer water barriers. 
     
     
         4 . The tree holding device of  claim 3 , wherein the inner water barrier further comprises a body with an opening where a spindle screw can pass through the water basin without water leaking out. 
     
     
         5 . The tree holding device of  claim 4 , wherein the spindle screw further comprises:
 a. A shank that has a reduced diameter creating a shoulder.   b. A hexagonal nut permanently attached to one end.   
     
     
         6 . A tree holding device comprising a minimum of three legs to stabilize and support an attached tree. 
     
     
         7 . The tree holding device of  claim 6  further comprising independently adjustable leveling feet that change the angle of the base of the tree holding device and anything attached to it. 
     
     
         8 . The tree holding device of  claim 6  further comprising removeable legs. 
     
     
         9 . The tree holding device of  claim 6  further comprising legs with at least one pined joint attaching them to the water basing wherein the legs can be rotated about the pinned joint for storage or transportation. 
     
     
         10 . A method for attaching a tree holding device to a tree wherein a screw spindle that captures the tree holding device is driven into the center of the bottom surface of a tree trunk.
