Stand for clamping pole-shaped or rod-shaped parts, in particular Christmas trees, comprising a housing, at least two holding elements adjoining a receiving space for receiving the pole-shaped or rod-shaped part, a securing device (30, 31) and a flexible force transmission device, the stand having the following features: - the holding elements are arranged around a central axis of the receiving space so as to be angularly offset and can each be pivoted about a pivot axis away from the central axis in the direction of a release position and toward the central axis in the direction of a fixing position; - the force transmission device leads from the securing device (30, 31) to the holding elements, which are movement-coupled to the securing device by means of the force transmission device; - by transferring the securing device (30, 31) from an unlocking position in the direction of a securing position, the force transmission device is pulled and/or subjected to a force in a pulling direction toward the securing device (30, 31), so that the securing device (30, 31), by means of the force transmission device, counteracts or prevents pivoting of the holding elements in the direction of the release position; - the stand has a level sensor, which projects into the receiving space of the housing, for determining a liquid level in the receiving space; - the level sensor is electrically connected to an electrical display device arranged on an outer face of the housing, so that level information which can be displayed by means of the display device correlates with a liquid level determined by the level sensor; - the display device is designed as an illuminated display device and is designed to emit visible light, characterized by the following features: - the illuminated display device is embedded in a recess in the housing; and - the stand has a cover for covering the recess. - the holding elements are arranged around a central axis of the receiving space so as to be angularly offset and can each be pivoted about a pivot axis away from the central axis in the direction of a release position and toward the central axis in the direction of a fixing position; - the force transmission device leads from the securing device (30, 31) to the holding elements, which are movement-coupled to the securing device by means of the force transmission device; - by transferring the securing device (30, 31) from an unlocking position in the direction of a securing position, the force transmission device is pulled and/or subjected to a force in a pulling direction toward the securing device (30, 31), so that the securing device (30, 31), by means of the force transmission device, counteracts or prevents pivoting of the holding elements in the direction of the release position; - the stand has a level sensor, which projects into the receiving space of the housing, for determining a liquid level in the receiving space; - the level sensor is electrically connected to an electrical display device arranged on an outer face of the housing, so that level information which can be displayed by means of the display device correlates with a liquid level determined by the level sensor; - the display device is designed as an illuminated display device and is designed to emit visible light, - the illuminated display device is embedded in a recess in the housing; and - the stand has a cover for covering the recess.
