Abstract
A Christmas tree support assembly includes a base that includes a pair of legs and a central member that is attached to and extends between the legs. The legs are orientated parallel to each other. A post is attached to and extends upwardly from the central member. A sleeve is attached to an upper end of the post. The sleeve has an opening extending therethrough. The opening has an axis that is orientated parallel to a longitudinal axis of a first of the legs. A rod is positioned in the sleeve and has a proximal end and a distal end with respect to the sleeve. A hook is attached to the rod and extends downwardly from the rod. The hook may be secured to a coupler attached to an upper end of a pine tree.

A Christmas tree support assembly configured for supporting a pine tree in a vertical orientation, said assembly comprising:
- a base including a pair of legs and a central member being attached to and extending between said legs, said legs being orientated parallel to each other;
- a post being attached to and extending upwardly from said central member;
- a sleeve being attached to an upper end of said post, said sleeve having an opening extending therethrough, said opening having an axis orientated parallel to a longitudinal axis of a first of said legs;
- a rod being positioned in said sleeve, said rod having a proximal end and a distal end with respect to said sleeve;
- a hook being attached to said rod and extending downwardly from said rod;
- and
- a coupler receiving an upper end of the tree, said hook being attached to said coupler.
A Christmas tree support assembly configured for supporting a pine tree in a vertical orientation, said assembly comprising:
- a base including a pair of legs and a central member being attached to and extending between said legs, said legs being orientated parallel to each other, each of said legs having a first end and a second end, said central member being positioned adjacent to each of said first ends and orientated perpendicular to each of said legs;
- a post being attached to and extending upwardly from said central member, said post being positioned between said legs, said post being telescoping and having a selectable height;
- a sleeve being attached to an upper end of said post, said sleeve having an opening extending therethrough, said opening having an axis orientated parallel to a longitudinal axis of a first of said legs;
- a rod being positioned in said sleeve, said rod having a proximal end and a distal end with respect to said sleeve, said rod having a plurality of aligned apertures therein, said apertures being positioned adjacent to said proximal end, a locking pin being removably extendable through said sleeve and through one of said apertures, said distal end extending in a same direction as said second ends of said legs;
- a hook being attached to said rod and extending downwardly from said rod, said hook being positioned adjacent to said distal end, said hook being rotatable with respect to said rod;
- and
- a coupler receiving an upper end of the tree, said hook being attached to said coupler.
A displaying system comprising:
- a pine tree;
- a container receiving a bottom end of said tree;
- a base including a pair of legs and a central member being attached to and extending between said legs, said legs being orientated parallel to each other;
- a post being attached to and extending upwardly from said central member;
- a sleeve being attached to an upper end of said post, said sleeve having an opening extending therethrough, said opening having an axis orientated parallel to a longitudinal axis of a first of said legs;
- a rod being positioned in said sleeve, said rod having a proximal end and a distal end with respect to said sleeve;
- a hook being attached to said rod and extending downwardly from said rod;
- and
- a coupler receiving an upper end of the tree pine, said hook being attached to said coupler.
