Claims18
A flag refraction and extension system for extending and retracting a flag, said system comprising:
- an elongated outer pole;
- a flag chamber at least partially defined by said outer pole for receiving and storing the flag, said flag chamber comprising a diagonally truncated opening that angles inward toward an upper end for receiving and guiding the flag into said flag chamber;
- an elongated inner pole slidably and rotatably disposed in said outer pole and adapted for attaching the flag;
- flag retracting means, in mechanical communication with said inner pole, for rotating said inner pole to facilitate retracting the flag into said flag chamber;
- and
- means, at least partially disposed in said outer pole, for raising and lowering said inner pole with respect to said outer pole for extending and retracting the flag.
