Abstract
A watered tree stand system, which facilitates continual watering of a tree supported by the tree stand system, includes a base reservoir having a reservoir interior suitably configured to contain a supply of water and receive the trunk of a tree. The base reservoir is suitably configured to support a tree in an upward-standing position. A preferably see-through, water intake container is disposed in spaced-apart relationship to the base reservoir. The water intake container is suitably configured to contain a supply of refill water. An elongated water delivery conduit establishes fluid communication between the water intake container and the base reservoir.
Claims24
A tree stand system for supporting a tree and providing water to the tree comprises:
- a base reservoir configured to stably rest on a flat surface and support a tree in an upright position relative to the surface, the base reservoir comprising:
- a base reservoir interior configured to contain water and receive a trunk of said tree,
- a base reservoir bottom, arranged in an elevated position relative to the surface, a space being provided between the base reservoir bottom and the surface when the base reservoir is resting on said surface,
- a base reservoir sidewall extending from the base reservoir bottom, the base reservoir sidewall and the base reservoir bottom defining the base reservoir interior,
- an inlet formed through the base reservoir bottom and arranged facing said space,
- an outer skirt arranged around and in spaced-apart relationship with the base reservoir sidewall and concealing the base reservoir sidewall and base reservoir bottom, and
- one or more reinforcement ribs extending from the outer skirt and to the base reservoir sidewall;
- a water intake container disposed in spaced-apart relationship with the base reservoir, the water intake container having a water intake container interior configured to contain water;
- and
- a water delivery conduit configured to establish fluid communication between the water intake container interior and the base reservoir interior through the inlet of the base reservoir bottom.
A tree stand system for supporting a tree and providing water to the tree comprises:
- a base reservoir configured to stably rest on a flat surface and support a tree in an upright position relative to the surface, the base reservoir comprising:
- a base reservoir interior configured to contain water and receive a trunk of said tree,
- a base reservoir bottom, arranged in an elevated position relative to the surface, a space being provided between the base reservoir bottom and the surface when the base reservoir is resting on said surface,
- a base reservoir sidewall extending from the base reservoir bottom, the base reservoir sidewall and the base reservoir bottom defining the base reservoir interior, the base reservoir sidewall comprising a lower portion extending below the base reservoir bottom, the lower portion comprising a bottom side configured to stably rest on the surface,
- an inlet formed through the base reservoir bottom and arranged facing said space, and
- an outer skirt arranged around and in spaced-apart relationship with the base reservoir sidewall and concealing the base reservoir sidewall and base reservoir bottom, wherein a bottom side of the outer skirt is configured to stably rest on the surface;
- a water intake container disposed in spaced-apart relationship with the base reservoir, the water intake container having a water intake container interior configured to contain water, and
- a water delivery conduit establishing fluid communication between the water intake container interior and the base reservoir interior through the inlet of the base reservoir bottom, the water delivery conduit extending through a first opening formed in the outer skirt and through a second opening formed in the lower portion of the base reservoir sidewall.
