Abstract
A message-carrying, antenna-mountable windsock allows a car owner to express a thought or concept. The windsock is tubular, preferably tapered, and is attached to the antenna of an automobile via holes in the top and bottom sides of the front end of the windsock. Several holes are provided for enabling the windsock to be horizontally positioned regardless of the angle of the antenna. The windsock is held in position on the antenna by a segment of slit rubber tubing, plastic twist ties, or both, positioned on the part of the antenna's shaft inside the windsock. A message, advertising, etc. is printed on the side of the windsock. The sock is very inexpensive to produce and the stock is easy to attach and remove.
Claims19
An antenna-mountable windsock, comprising:
- a rigid, self-supporting, cylinder,
- said cylinder having open front and back ends so that wind can pass therethrough,
- means for attaching said cylinder to a vehicle's antenna, said means comprising at least three holes in said cylinder,
- said holes being sized to accept an antenna of a predetermined diameter,
- a plurality of said holes being spaced along the length of one side of said cylinder and at one end of said cylinder,
- at least one of said holes being formed in the other side of said one end of said cylinder, opposite said plurality of holes,
- whereby said antenna can be inserted through said one of said holes in said other side of said cylinder and through a selected one of said plurality of holes on said other side of said cylinder so that said cylinder can be mounted in a horizontal orientation regardless of the angle of said antenna within a predetermined range of angles.
