  • Patent number: 8291852
    Abstract: A device for selectively stowing a flag in a coiled condition and displaying the flag in an unfurled condition. The flag may be affixed to a pole. The device comprises a hollow cylindrical member which encloses the flag and pole. The pole may be captively retained to the hollow cylinder. An illuminable light source may be formed as part of the device. The device may visually simulate sports equipment such as a baseball bat, hockey stick, golf club, and others. The device may have a symbolic object such as a ball, hockey puck, or object symbolic of automobile racing such as an engine fluid dipstick removably affixed thereto. The device may be a toy or souvenir in some embodiments.
