Abstract
A Christmas-tree stand (2) features a foot-piece (4) with a connected holder (6) to which fastening components (14, 16, 18 and 20) are attached. In the example case, these components are swinging clamps which are pressed against the outer surface of the tree trunk by a clamping device (46). The pressure of the clamping device (46) is applied to the fastening components (14, 16, 18 and 20) via a steel cable (66), for example, which encircles them and is attached to the clamping device (46). The cable (66) moves the fastening components (14, 16, 18 and 20) toward the trunk with adjustable and evenly distributed force.
