Abstract: A support assembly for displaying a banner on a flagstaff includes a base support for holding the base edge of a banner in extended condition, and an adjustable length deflector element extending from a point between the ends of the support element. The free end of the deflector element is attachable to the fabric of the flag at a central point within the flag's outer peripheral borders. The defector element is formed of resilient material and it is coupled to the support element by a guide bracket that includes a guide channel for bending the deflector element through a right angle. Dimensions of the guide channel and the deflector element are selected so that the deflector is free to slide telescopically within the channel to vary the length of the portion of the deflector extending from the support element. At the opposite end of the deflector, a right-angle projection engages a hole formed in the support element to retain the deflector in a desired extended position.

Abstract: A precision re-alignment instrument mount assembly for cameras, projectors optical instruments, and jigs and fixtures of all kinds is provided with a self-centering and non-binding quick connect and disconnect mechanism. A mounting plate secured to the instrument and a cooperating base plate are provided with juxtaposable mating surfaces, preferably flat, and a pair of dowel pins protruding from one plate are aligned to be seated in beveled, countersunk holes formed in the other plate, while a quick latch device anchors the two plates in aligned, mated juxtaposition.
