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 kit, comprising:
- a pole mounting assembly including:
- a telescoping pole having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, wherein the distal end of the pole is configured to releasably engage a clip in at least a first position and a second position;
- and
- a handle at the proximal end of the telescoping pole, wherein the handle is configured to be manipulated by a user to release the clip from the distal end of the pole;
- and
- at least one clip configured to be removably coupled to a first building structure in a first orientation when releasably engaged to the distal end of the pole 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 engaged to the distal end of the pole in the second position,
- wherein the clip comprises 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.

A kit, comprising:
- a pole mounting assembly including:
- a telescoping pole having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end,
- at least one adaptor configured to engage the distal end of the telescoping pole, wherein the at least one adaptor includes at least one channel configured to releasably engage a clip in at least a first position or a second position;
- and
- a handle at the proximal end of the telescoping pole, wherein the handle is configured to be manipulated by a user to release the clip from the at least one adaptor;
- and
- at least one clip configured to be removably coupled to a first building structure in a first orientation when releasably engaged to the at least one adaptor 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 engaged to the at least one adaptor in the second position,
- wherein the first orientation is an upward orientation and the second orientation is a downward orientation.

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;
- wherein the distal end of the pole is configured to releasably engage a clip in at least a first position and a second position;
- and
- a handle at the proximal end of the telescoping pole, the handle being configured to be manipulated by a user so as to release the clip from the distal end of the pole;
- providing a clip, wherein the clip is configured to be removably coupled to a first building structure in a first orientation when releasably engaged to the distal end of the pole mounting assembly in the first position, and configured to be removably coupled to a second building structure in a second orientation when releasably engaged to the distal end of the pole mounting assembly in the second position,
- wherein the first building structure faces upward, and wherein the second building structure faces downward;
- engaging the clip to the distal end 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 disengage 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.
