Abstract
The flagpole light mounting system may comprise a flagpole extension, a light unit, and a bracket. The flagpole light mounting system may detachably couple to a non-vertical flagpole to illuminate from above a flag being flown from the non-vertical flagpole. The flagpole extension may be inserted between the non-vertical flagpole and an ornamental top. The top of the bracket may couple to the light unit and the bottom of the bracket may couple to the flagpole extension via an anti-rotation coupling. The shape of the bracket and the positioning of twin light sources located within the light unit may cause both sides of the flag to be illuminated. As non-limiting examples, the non-vertical flagpole may be mounted horizontally or at an oblique upward angle relative to a supporting structure.
Claims18
A flagpole light mounting system comprising:
- a flagpole extension, a light unit, and a bracket;
- wherein the flagpole light mounting system detachably couples to a non-vertical flagpole configured to mount horizontally or at an oblique upward angle relative to a supporting structure to illuminate a flag being flown from the non-vertical flagpole from above;
- wherein the flagpole extension is a cylindrical bar that lengthens the non-vertical flagpole and is inserted between the non-vertical flagpole and an ornamental top;
- wherein a proximal end of the flagpole extension comprises an externally threaded shaft;
- wherein the flagpole extension couples to the non-vertical flagpole by screwing the externally threaded shaft of the flagpole extension into an internally threaded flagpole aperture located at a distal end of the non-vertical flagpole;
- wherein a distal end of the flagpole extension comprises an internally threaded aperture and two or more anti-rotation projections located adjacent to the internally threaded aperture extending axially towards the ornamental top;
- wherein the ornamental top couples to the flagpole extension by screwing an externally threaded ornament shaft of the ornamental top into the internally threaded aperture of the flagpole extension;
- wherein the top of the bracket couples to the light unit;
- wherein the bottom of the bracket couples to the flagpole extension via an anti-rotation aperture located at the bottom of the bracket and the two or more anti-rotation projections engage the anti-rotation aperture in order to prevent the bracket from rotating around the flagpole extension;
- wherein the shape of the bracket and the positioning of twin light sources located within the light unit cause both sides of the flag to be illuminated.
