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 18):
A method of assembling a tree system, the method comprising:\n rotating a first concentric cylinder of the tree stand relative to a second concentric cylinder of the tree stand to separate legs of the tree stand; aligning a detent with a hole of one or more holes in each of the first and second concentric cylinders, wherein upon alignment of the hole of the one or more holes of the first concentric cylinder and the hole of the one or more holes of the second concentric cylinder, a spring pushes the detent outward from a central axis of the first and second concentric cylinders such that a protruding portion of the detent extends at least partially through the hole of the one or more holes of the first concentric cylinder and the hole of the one or more holes of the second concentric cylinder and the base portion abuts an inner wall of the first concentric cylinder or the second concentric cylinder; and inserting a trunk of a Christmas tree into an adapter of the tree stand, the adapter positioned proximate an end of the tree stand.
