Method for Use of Easy Set-Up Pole and Support System

Abstract

A method for installing a means capable of removably securing a pole, comprising installing a first support, installing a second support, inserting said pole into said first support, and thereafter, inserting said pole into said second support.

1 . A method of positioning a flag pole comprising the steps of:
 locating a twist member with a central axis and a slot that is obliquely angled with respect to said central axis;   introducing the flagpole to the twist member via the slot; and,   aligning the flagpole with the central axis of the twist member.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the step of introducing the flag pole to the twist member via the slot comprises the steps of:
 causing the flagpole to be at the oblique angle of the slot relative to the central axis; and, 
 passing a portion of the flagpole into the twist member while the flagpole is at the oblique angle relative to the central axis of the twist member. 
 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the step of aligning the flagpole with the central axis of the twist member comprises the step of:
 rotating the flagpole around a pivot point within the twist member and with respect to the central axis. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of introducing the butt of the flagpole into a socket member. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of installing the twist member on a vehicle. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of adjusting the orientation of the central axis. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5  further wherein the step of adjusting the orientation of the central axis is accomplished via manipulating a multi-positional mounting bracket to which the twist member is attached. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising the step of aligning a socket member with the central axis. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7  further comprising the step of intruding the butt of the flag pole into the socket member. 
     
     
         10 . A method of lowering a raised flagpole comprising the steps of:
 rotating the flagpole around a pivot point within a twist member having a slot until the flagpole and the slot are aligned; and,   directing the flagpole through the slot.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising the step of disengaging the flagpole from a socket member. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein alignment of the slot is oblique to a central axis of the twist member. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the step of directing the flagpoles through the slot comprises the step of:
 moving the flagpole away from the twist member while the flagpole is at the oblique angle relative to the central axis of the twist member. 
 
     
     
         14 . A method positioning a flagpole comprising the steps of:
 locating a twist member;   obliquely introducing the flagpole to the twist member; and,   aligning the flagpole with the twist member.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the step of introducing the flag pole to the twist member comprises the step of:
 passing a portion of the flagpole into the twist member. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the step of aligning the flagpole with the twist member comprises the step of:
 rotating the flagpole around a pivot point within the twist member. 
 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising the step of introducing the butt of the flagpole into a socket member. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising the step of installing the twist member on a vehicle. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising the step of adjusting the orientation of the twist member. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  further wherein the step of adjusting the orientation of the central axis is accomplished via manipulating a multi-positional mounting bracket to which the twist member is attached.
