Abstract
A flag holder for vehicles—such as motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles—mounts on a generally horizontal panel having a bolt hole stamped, punched or drilled therein. For a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flag holder includes a cylindrical main body having an axially-aligned cylindrical aperture for receiving the staff of a flag. The holder also includes a hollow threaded retaining fastener that is coaxial with the cylindrical aperture. A staff ejector pin, retained within the hollow threaded retaining fastener, may be employed to eject a broken end of the flag staff. Two alternative embodiments are provided. The first utilizes a threaded main body and a hollow retainer bolt. The second utilizes a threaded hollow stud and a nut.
Claims20
A flag holder for vehicles comprising:
- a main body attachable to a vehicle having a generally vertical aperture therein for receiving a flag staff;
- and
- a staff ejector pin retained and slideably movable within said vertical aperture, such that upward movement of the staff ejector pin will eject any portion of the flag staff which may break and remain within the vertical aperture.
A flag holder for vehicles for mounting on a generally horizontal panel having a mounting aperture therein, said flag holder comprising:
- a main body having a generally vertically-oriented cylindrical aperture therein for receiving a flag staff, and a generally horizontal threaded aperture therein;
- a set screw for threadably engaging the threaded aperture, said set screw having an end which bears against the flag staff in order to anchor the latter within the cylindrical aperture;
- a hollow threaded anchoring fastener for inserting through the mounting aperture and securing the flag holder to the generally horizontal panel;
- and
- a staff ejector pin retained and slideably movable within the hollow threaded retaining fastener, said staff ejector pin extending into said cylindrical aperture, such that upward movement thereof will eject any portion of the flag staff which may break and remain within the cylindrical aperture.
A flag holder for vehicles comprising:
- a main body having a generally vertical cylindrical aperture therein for receiving a flag staff, said axial cylindrical aperture being open at both ends and having a threaded lower portion;
- a hollow threaded mounting bolt, which engages said threaded lower portion, for anchoring said main body on a generally horizontal panel having a mounting aperture therein;
- and
- a staff ejector pin retained and slideably movable within the hollow threaded mounting bolt, said staff ejector pin extending into said cylindrical aperture when said mounting bolt is installed within said main body, such that upward movement of the staff ejector pin will eject any portion of the flag staff which may break and remain within the cylindrical aperture.
