Abstract
The present invention is a stand for an article with a rod-shaped member. The stand includes an open top bucket-like base adapted to receive particulate matter, such as sand or dirt, for weight. Removably attached to the bottom surface is a tubular part adapted to receive the rod-like member of article in an upright position. A set screw with a grip secures the member to the part. The wall of the stand is formed of flexible material such as fabric. When the tubular part is removed and the particulate matter is emptied, the stand can be collapsed and easily transported from one location to another.
