Patent Application
20190019438
The present invention relates to a flagpole assembly for mounting on a motor vehicle.
Vehicle flags are used in various applications for hoisting a flag and mounting it on a moving vehicle. Many times the flags are assembled in a uniform construction and mount to a window or door opening as suggested in U.S. Pat. No. 7,878,139 to Karnes. Karnes discloses an universal automobile flag, which has attachment means for a window and also onto the trunk area of the motor vehicle. Most of the flag mounting assemblies include a pole of some sort that hangs the flag in place. One variation of the traditional flag assembly is shown in U.S. Patent Publication 2015/0090177 to Allen. Allen discloses a flag display system that uses a zipper arrangement around the bracket of the vehicle as shown. Yet another example of a vehicle flag assembly system is shown in U.S. Patent Publication 2015/0310778 to Baker. Baker discloses a flag assembly again that has a mounting mechanism associated with the window opening.
The object of the present invention is to provide a flag pole assembly that provides more flexibility in mounting positions on a vehicle. Also the present invention provides a pole that allows for variable arrangement of flags onto a single pole.
The present invention relates to a flagpole assembly that includes: a pole, where the pole includes a top and mounting base; a plurality of openings along the left of the pole; at least one mounting hole within the mounting base; at least one removable flag, where the said flag includes flag inserts adapted for insertion into openings provided on the pole; and an anchor, where the anchor is adapted to receive the mounting base of the pole. The anchor preferably includes at least two suction cups adapted to secure to a surface of a vehicle.
The present invention relates to a flagpole assembly designed for mounting on a motor vehicle. The flagpole assembly includes a pole that has a series of openings along the length of the pole. The pole has a mounting base with at least one mounting hole within the mounting base. The mounting base adjoins to an anchor that includes a receiving base to receive the mounting base of the flagpole. The anchor is attached to any surface on the motor vehicle by the use of suction cups placed along the bottom of the anchor. Once in place flags may be mounted on the pole through the openings provided. The pole according to the present invention provides sufficient openings to receive at least two flags along the length of the pole. The flag includes inserts that insert into the openings of the pole. One alternative mounting base is provided for the present invention, which is glued into place and receives the pole through a threaded receiving hole provided on the mounting base. In this particular embodiment, the pole includes a male-threaded base to mount into the receiving hole of the mounting base.
