Flag pole

Abstract

This invention relates to a flag pole and more specifically, to a flag pole with moveable flag clips and an electric lamp to illuminate the flag.

1 . A flagpole assembly comprising: 
 a) a staff having a longitudinal axis, the staff having an end mountable on a vertical wall;    b) a connector mounted to the staff having an end for rotation about the longitudinal axis, the connector being fixed longitudinally relative to the staff, and being releasably attachable to a flag connector such that a flag held to the staff by the connectors is free to swing 360° around the longitudinal axis of the staff; and    c) an electric light unit mounted on the staff such that it would project light on the flag.    
   
   
       2 . The flag pole of  claim 1 , further comprising an electrical cord attached to the staff.  
   
   
       3 . The flag pole of  claim 2  further comprising a tube forming the staff, the tube having an opening in the lower end such that the electrical cord extends through the opening and terminates at the light.  
   
   
       4 . The flag pole of  claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises one or more roller bearings to allow movement of the flag around the flag pole.  
   
   
       5 . A flagpole assembly comprising 
 a) a staff having a longitudinal axis, the staff having an end mountable to a wall;    b) a pair of connectors mounted to the staff for rotation about the longitudinal axis, the connectors being fixed a spaced longitudinal distance apart, each connector having a portion that is releasably attachable to a flag connector such that a flag held to the staff by the connectors is free to swing 3600 around the longitudinal axis of the staff; and    c) an electric light unit mounted on the staff such that it would project light on the flag.    
   
   
       6 . The flag pole of  claim 5  comprising a rod extending between and attached to both connectors to provide that the connectors rotate about the shaft in concert.  
   
   
       7 . The flag pole of  claim 5  further comprising tube at least partially surrounds the staff and is attached at its ends to each of the connectors.  
   
   
       8 . A flag pole assembly kit for adapting a flag pole staff comprising 
 a) a circumferentially rotatable sleeve for attachment to the flag pole staff;    b) one or more longitudinally fixable clamps to hold the sleeve on the flag staff; and    c) a flag clip mounted on the sleeve.    
   
   
       9 . A flag pole as in  claim 8  including a pair of the rotatable sleeves for attaching to the flag pole staff and a rod attached at its ends to each of the sleeves to provide for in concert rotation of the sleeves about the flag pole staff.  
   
   
       10 . A flag pole as in  claim 8  including a pair of rotatable sleeves and a tube for at least partially surrounding the staff and attached at its ends to each of the sleeves.  
   
   
       11 . The flag pole assembly of  claim 8  further comprising an electric light unit for mounting on the flag pole staff such that it would project light on the flag.  
   
   
       12 . The flag pole assembly kit of  claim 11 , further comprising a tube forming the staff, the tube having an opening in the lower end such that the electrical cord extends through the opening and terminates at the light.  
   
   
       13 . The flag pole kit of  claim 8 , further comprising roller bearings.  
   
   
       14 . The flag pole kit of  claim 8 , further comprising a wall mountable bracket for supporting the flag staff at an angle with respect to a vertical wall.
