Abstract

A pole-type member support device is provided. The pole-type member support device has a receptacle body with a lower portion including a bottom wall and an upper portion with a top wall defining an opening for receiving the pole-type member support device. A multi-sided sidewall extends between the bottom wall and top wall. A beveled lip may provide a transition surface between the upper and lower portions of the receptacle. Inside the receptacle, a moveable support cooperates with an opposing fixed support to hold the pole-type member in an upright position in the receptacle. The top wall, moveable support and opposing fixed support are all substantially C-shaped with a multi-sided rear surface and a substantially V-shaped front opening. The substantially V-shaped opening serves as the gripping surface. An adjustment pin with a plurality of apertures provided in a top surface thereof defining different positions for the moveable support member extends rearwardly from the moveable support through the adjacent sidewall. A fixing pin is adapted to be inserted into the desired aperture to position the moveable support member in the desired position. The fixing pin extends vertically through the adjacent sidewall. The pole-type member support may also include a collapsible base member, an S-shaped base member or a base member that encases the receptacle body and resembles a Santa sack.
