Abstract
A watering device for a tree stand has a reservoir with an upper opening. A cover having a port is mounted on the upper opening of the reservoir. The cover encloses closes the reservoir. A shelf is mounted in the reservoir below the cover and is shaped to allow water to bypass the shelf. A length of tube communicating with the reservoir supplies water to the reservoir below the shelf. A valve is reciprocatively mounted between the shelf and the cover for controlling water flow through the port. A float is attached atop the valve means and above the cover for floating and operating the valve means to seal the port of the cover. Thus, water flowing out of the reservoir and into the tree stand is regulated by the floating and the operation of the valve.

A watering device for a stand comprising:
- a reservoir having
- a cover having a port and mounted on and enclosing said upper opening of said reservoir;
- a shelf mounted in said reservoir below said cover and shaped to allow water to bypass said shelf;
- a length of tube communicating with said reservoir for supplying water to said reservoir below said shelf;
- a valve means reciprocatively mounted between said shelf and said cover for controlling water flow through said port;
- and
- a float attached atop said valve means and above said cover, for floating and operating said valve means to seal said port of said cover, so that water flowing out of said reservoir and into the stand is regulated by the floating and operation of the valve means.
A watering device for a tree stand comprising:
- a reservoir having an upper opening, a base and a plurality of inside corners;
- an adhesive layer of foam attached underneath said base of said reservoir for securing it to a tree stand;
- a cover having a plurality of dependent ridges for securing said cover in said upper opening of reservoir, said cover further having a port and a first inlet;
- a shelf mounted in said reservoir and having a plurality of notched corners spaced from said inside corners of said reservoir for providing an even and controlled inflow of water, said shelf further having a second inlet;
- a length of tube communicating with said reservoir for supplying water to said reservoir below said shelf, said tube being mounted through said first inlet of said cover and said second inlet of said shelf;
- a valve means reciprocatively mounted between said shelf and said cover and extending through said port of said cover for controlling water flow through said port;
- and
- a float attached atop said valve means above said cover, for floating and operating said valve means to seal said port of said cover.
