Abstract
A device including a first clip portion including a bottom section having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first leg section extending from the first end of the bottom section, a second leg section extending from the second end of the bottom section, and a pole adaptor attachment portion; an arm projecting away from the first leg section; and a light string attachment portion located on the first leg section, the light string attachment portion including a substantially C-shaped clip defined by the arm, the first leg section, and the pole adaptor attachment portion.
Claims17
A device, comprising:
- a telescoping pole having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- and
- an adaptor engaging the first end of the telescoping pole, the adaptor including a channel configured to releasably receive a clip in a selected one of at least a first orientation and a second orientation,
- wherein the first orientation is configured to couple the clip to a first building structure in a first orientation, and
- wherein the second orientation is configured to couple the clip to a second building structure in a second orientation that is different than the first orientation,
- wherein the second end of the telescoping pole is configured to be manipulated by a user so as to release the clip from the channel of the adaptor, and
- wherein the telescoping pole includes a trigger that is operable by the user so as to release the clip from the channel of the adaptor.

A kit, comprising:
- a pole mounting assembly including:
- a telescoping pole having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end;
- an adaptor engaging the distal end of the telescoping pole, the adaptor including a channel, the channel being configured to be releasably couplable to a clip in at least a first position and a second position;
- and
- a handle fixed to the proximal end of the telescoping pole, the handle being configured to be manipulated by a user so as to release a clip from the channel of the adaptor;
- and
- at least one clip configured to be removably coupled to a first building structure in a first orientation when releasably coupled to the channel in the first position, and configured to be removably coupled to a second building structure in a second orientation that is different from the first orientation when releasably coupled to the channel in the second position,
- wherein the adaptor further includes at least two spring-loaded devices, a portion of each of the at least two spring-loaded devices being biased to extend into the channel so as to retain the clip within the channel.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- providing a pole mounting assembly, wherein the pole mounting assembly includes:
- a telescoping pole having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end;
- an adaptor engaging the distal end of the telescoping pole, the adaptor including a channel, the channel being configured to be releasably couplable to a clip in at least a first position and a second position;
- and
- a handle fixed to the proximal end of the telescoping pole, the handle being configured to be manipulated by a user so as to release a clip from the channel of the adaptor;
- providing a clip, wherein the clip is configured to be removably coupled to a first building structure in a first orientation when releasably coupled to the channel in the first position, and configured to be removably coupled to a second building structure in a first orientation that is different from the first orientation when releasably coupled to the channel in the second position,
- wherein the clip is oriented upward in the first position, and wherein the clip is oriented downward in the second position;
- coupling the clip to the channel of the pole mounting assembly in a selected one of the first and second positions;
- coupling the clip to a selected one of the first and second building structures that corresponds to the selected one of the first and second positions;
- and
- manipulating the handle to decouple the clip from the channel of the pole mounting assembly, thereby installing the clip on the selected one of the first and second building structures.
