Wrap preventing flag apparatus

Номер: US20120103246A1
Автор: Louis Horvath
Принадлежит: Individual

A wrap preventing flag ( 44 ) apparatus including a rod ( 58 ) extending from the upper portion ( 22 ) of a flagpole ( 20 ) in a gravity plane (P) with an attachment ( 60, 62 ) securing the top edge ( 46 ) of a flag ( 44 ) to the rod ( 58 ). A rod support ( 84 ) inter-connects the rod ( 58 ) and the upper portion ( 22 ) of the flagpole ( 20 ) for preventing the rod ( 58 ) from rotating about the pole axis (A) while allowing free rotation of the rod ( 58 ) under the force of gravity only in the gravity plane (P). The rod support ( 84 ) includes a pair of stops ( 94 ) for limiting rotation of the rod ( 58 ) in or parallel to the gravity plane (P). In the first embodiment, the rod support ( 84 ) extends into an especially fabricated flagpole ( 20 ) whereas the rod support ( 84 ) of the second embodiment includes a first bracket ( 96 ) which is disposed about an existing flagpole ( 20 ) for securing the rod support ( 84 ) to the flagpole ( 20 ).

A bracket assembly for holding an article has a base having a rod receiving section that receives a rod assembly including a rod to which an article can be hung. The rod receiving section includes a hollow housing in which a spring and actuator are disposed. A sidewall of the housing has an opening including opposed slots that extend upwardly and away from each other from a junction where lower ends of the slots meet. An inner section of the rod assembly extends through the opening in the sidewall of the housing and is secured to the actuator. Upon the rod deflecting in response to wind loading of the article, the inner section of the rod assembly moves upwardly in one of the slots and translates the actuator upwardly compressing the spring. The compressed spring urges the actuator downwardly to return the actuator to a neutral position.
