Abstract
This invention relates to a device for fastening a flag on a staff via a sleeve coaxial to the staff mounted to rotate freely on the staff, the device comprising a rod having two ends, a first end being connected to the sleeve so that the rod extends, at least partially, in a plane substantially transverse to the sleeve, the second end of the rod being remote from the sleeve and connected to the flag, whereby the torque exerted by the flag on the sleeve under the effect of the wind and/or of the weight of the flag is increased.
Claims3
A device for fastening a flag on a staff via a sleeve coaxial to the staff mounted to rotate freely on the staff, the flag being able to exert on the sleeve, under the effect of the wind and/or the weight of the flag, a torque tending to rotate the sleeve and to avoid the flag winding therearound, wherein said device comprises a rod having two ends, a first end being connected to the sleeve so that the rod extends, at least partially, in a plane substantially transverse to the sleeve, the second end of the rod being remote from the sleeve and connected to the flag, whereby the torque exerted by the flag on the sleeve under the effect of the wind and/or of the weight of the flag is increased, and wherein the device further includes a means for retaining the sleeve on the staff, a lower ring and an upper ring for fastening the flag on the sleeve, the upper ring having a passage parallel to the staff for receiving a pivot part of the rod, the rod being constituted by a bent tube forming the pivot part and tubular extension part, and by a bent rod received in the tubular extension part.
