Abstract:
A system for mounting decorative objects, such as Christmas trees, is disclosed. The system can include a base and a plurality of inserts. The base can comprise a plurality of feet that have a retracted position for ready storage and a deployed position for supporting a tree. The base can further comprise a locking mechanism for locking the feet in the retracted position, the deployed position, or both. The base can further comprise an adapter for receiving one or more inserts. The inserts can comprise a consistent outer diameter, for insertion into the adapter, and a variety of inner diameters for use with a variety of tree diameters. The insert can be installed on the trunk of a tree and then installed into the adapter on the base simplifying the tree erection process.

Claim (Index 1):
A Christmas tree system comprising:\n a Christmas tree; and a tree stand including:\n a body having:\n a first concentric cylinder rotatably coupled with a second concentric cylinder, each of the first concentric cylinder and the second concentric cylinder comprising one or more holes; and \n an adapter positioned proximate an end of the body; \n \n one or more legs coupled to the first concentric cylinder; \n one or more legs coupled to the second concentric cylinder; and \n a spring-loaded locking mechanism configured to engage the one or more holes of the first and second concentric cylinders to secure a rotational alignment of the first concentric cylinder relative the second concentric cylinder, the spring-loaded locking mechanism including a spring and a detent having a base portion and a protruding portion, \n wherein, when the spring-loaded locking mechanism is in a locked configuration corresponding to the rotational alignment of the first concentric cylinder relative the second concentric cylinder, the spring pushes the detent outward from a central axis of the first and second concentric cylinders such that the protruding portion extends at least partially through the holes of the first and second concentric cylinders and the base portion abuts an inner wall of the first concentric cylinder or the second concentric cylinder, \n wherein, when the spring-loaded locking mechanism is in an unlocked configuration, the spring is compressed such that the base portion does not abut an inner wall of the first concentric cylinder or the second concentric cylinder and the protruding portion is located substantially within the inner wall of the first concentric cylinder and the second concentric cylinder, and \n wherein at least one of the concentric cylinders is configured to receive a trunk of the Christmas tree.
