AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional flag raising systems often result in flag entanglement with the flagpole, especially when wind directions change, and existing solutions are not suitable for raising national flags or other items.

Method used

A flag entanglement prevention device comprising a bobbin-shaped rotatable ring and a fixture that secures the ring's position, allowing two strings of the flag to be tied to each ring, passed through the flagpole, and fixed with the fixture.

Benefits of technology

The device allows the flag to flutter neatly without tangling with the flagpole, regardless of wind direction, and is adaptable for raising various types of flags.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a flag entanglement prevention device for hoisting a flag such as the national flag, which comprises a bobbin-shaped rotatable ring and a fixture that fixes the position of the ring, in which two strings on the flag are tied to each of the rings, the rings are passed through a flagpole, and the position of the ring is fixed with the fixture. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, when hoisting a flag, such as the national flag, it is common to tie the flag to a flagpole with two strings. In the past, bamboo flagpoles were used, but in recent years, shorter plastic flagpoles with split connections have become more common, with the aim of hoisting flags in apartments and condominiums. Regarding rising flags, there are flags with wheel designs that make them easier to rotate (see Patent Document 1), flags with a freely rotating flag structure that has a notched circular section (see Patent Document 2), and small flags for traffic guidance that have small flags attached directly to a freely rotating outer cylinder (see Patent Document 3).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Public Relations No. 3039954 [Patent Document 2] JP2001-27884 Public Relations [Patent Document 3] Public Relations No. 3177166 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Conventionally, when a flag is hoisted, it is attached to a flagpole by a string. When the wind is blowing from a certain direction, the flag flies beautifully and there is no problem, but since the wind direction usually changes frequently, the flag often becomes tangled on the flagpole. And there is a problem in that the tangled flag rarely comes undone. In addition, the conventional structures for ascending flags and small flags for traffic guidance use a tie, and the flag cannot be fixed by tying a string, so they have not been used for hoisting the national flag, etc. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A flag tangle prevention device consisting of a bobbin-shaped ring and a fastener for fixing the position of the ring; two strings on the flag are tied to each ring, the rings are passed through the flagpole, and the fastener fixes the position of the ring. Effect of the Invention

[0006] When using the flag entanglement prevention device of the present invention, simply pass two bobbin-shaped rings through a flagpole, tie the two strings on the flag around the bobbin-shaped rings, and attach a fixing device to the flagpole according to the size of the flag. The bobbin-shaped rings can rotate freely around the flagpole, so the flag will not get entangled on the flagpole and will flutter beautifully no matter which direction the wind is blowing from.

[Figure 7] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a modified example of the flag entanglement prevention device of the present invention, in which a vertical protrusion is provided on the ring. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. It consists of a bobbin-shaped ring and a fixture to fix the position of the ring. The two strings of the flag are tied to each ring, the ring is passed through the flagpole, and the ring is fixed in place with the fixture. At this time, the fixture is attached between the rings to prevent the gap between the rings from narrowing. As a variant, a slit can be provided in part of the flange of the bobbin-shaped ring to make it easier to secure the flag vertically (see Figure 5). The ring may be shaped like a bobbin, without a flange, and may have a protrusion with a vertical or horizontal hole in part of it, so that the string of the flag can be passed through the hole and tied to it (see Figures 7 and 8). The most common material for the rings and fasteners is resin, but they can also be made of other materials such as metal. [Explanation of symbols]
