  • Patent number: 5816187
    Abstract: A storable diver's flag which is visible in substantially all directions. The flag includes three flexible rectangular panels connected to one another along a common central pocket formed between the panels. The panels are thus vertically automatically radially extendible to an in-use position generally radially equal angles between adjacent panels whereby diver down indicia on both surfaces of the panels allow the upright in-use flag and indicia to be seen from any direction. A support member having an elongated mast and three support arms radially extending from near each end of the mast extend along each radial margin of each panel to maintain the panels in an extended and upstanding in use position. The support member is preferably embedded and adhered in place between each pair of sheet material portions themselves adhered together to form each flag panel.

  • Patent number: 5609122
    Abstract: A storable diver's flag which is visible in substantially all directions. The flag includes three flexible rectangular panels connected to one another along a common central seam between the panels. The panels are thus radially extendable to an in-use position from the central seam at generally equal radial angles between adjacent panels whereby diver down indicia on both surfaces of the panels allow the upright in-use flag and indicia to be seen from any direction. Wire support members extending diagonally across each panel keeps the panels extended and upstanding in use. Two equal length wire braces each of which extend between adjacent panels in close proximity to the central seam urge the panels into the in-use position.
