  • Publication number: 20060260532
    Abstract: A decorative residential or commercial display flag for attachment to a supporting upright pole having flag attachment means comprising a linear sleeve adapted to loosely slip over the upright pole to enable lateral extension of the flag at right angles to the pole. The flag contains a horizontally directed rigid wire with an end connector aligned with the axis of the pole where the end connector engages an upwardly extending narrow pin located at the top of the upright pole. The connector contains an opening larger than the narrowed upright pin to enable the connector to slip over and engage the narrowed pin, while the opening is smaller than the upright pole to enable the larger diameter pole to vertically support the rigid wire. A locking nut on the narrow pin locks the wire connector to the pole to maintain the rigid wire horizontally disposed.

  • Publication number: 20050172884
    Abstract: A decorative residential or commercial flag for attachment to a supporting upright pole having flag attachment means comprising a linear sleeve adapted to loosely slip over the upright pole to enable unobstructed rotation of the flag in response to wind direction along with a flexible tab secured to the top of the linear sleeve adapted to rotatably engage an upwardly extending narrow pin located at the top of the upright pole. The flexible tab contains an opening larger than the narrowed upright extension to enable free rotation of the tab around the narrowed extension, while the opening is smaller than the upright pole to enable the larger diameter pole to vertically support the flexible tab. The flexible tab supports the decorative flag vertically on the upright pole while the sleeve enables circumferential rotation of the decorative flag about the axis of the upright pole. The decorative flag can be attached directly to an upright pole or inclined pole.

  • Publication number: 20050066561
    Abstract: A golf marking flag for attachment to a supporting upright pole having flag attachment means comprising a linear sleeve adapted to loosely slip over the upright pole to enable unobstructed rotation of the flag in response to wind direction along with a flexible tab secured to the top of the linear sleeve and adapted to rotatably engage an upwardly extending narrow pin located at the top of the upright pole. The flexible tab contains an opening larger than the narrowed upright extension to enable free rotation of the tab around the narrowed extension, while the opening is smaller than the upright pole to enable the larger pole to vertically support the marking flag. The flexible tab supports the marking flag on the upright pole while the sleeve enables rotation of the marking flag about the upright pole. The golf marking flag can be attached directly to an upright pole or adapted to be interconnected to an intervening swivel harness to provide indirect connection to the upright pole.
