CORNER FLAG

Claims

It is a corner flag suitable for placement at the corner point where the corner line begins on a playing field, comprising a long mast with a flag at its upper end. The long mast has a translucent tip (1) located at its upper end, which houses an illuminating cylinder contained within a telescopic secondary mast (3). This secondary mast is attached to a main mast (5), which is inserted into a larger diameter mast support (7) coupled to a shock absorber (10). This main mast is housed in a housing (22) that contains a drive motor, designed to remain embedded in the ground below the level of the turf. The main mast (5) projects upwards from a cylindrical housing (22) that remains vertically embedded in the ground below the level of the turf.The main mast (33) is projected upwards from a cylindrical housing (49), which is horizontally embedded in the ground below the level of the grass. A sliding cover, positioned horizontally, supports the vertically projecting main mast (33) and is mounted on an open slot in the lid (48) of the housing (49). Inside the housing (49), a horizontal travel base (36) supports the mast (33). This base (36) is attached to a recirculating ball carriage, which supports the weight of the flag assembly and is driven by toothed belts that move it horizontally.The flag's tip (51), illuminating cylinder (52), flag mast (53), shock absorber (54), and shock absorber coupling (55) are mounted on a rotating winch (56) consisting of a shaft and a track for driving the electric motor (60). A drive pulley (57), attached to the shaft of the electric motor, controls the pennant's rotation from 0 to 90 degrees. The mechanism designed to operate the flag includes bearings (58) and a mechanical support (59) for the motor-winch assembly. The electric motor (60) is powered by the battery pack (61). An electronic board (62) receives remote signals and converts them into commands that activate the electric motor, which in turn moves the winch's drive pulley to raise and lower the flag.An electronic board (62) receives the remote signals and converts them into commands that activate the electric motor that moves the winch's driving pulley for raising and lowering the flag.
