Definitions
- a flag-pole in use has a sphere at the top and, close to the sphere, a guide means for a rope attached by one end to the upper attachment point of a fleg and by the other end to the lower attachment point of a flag.
- the flag When the flag is hoisted the lower end of the rope is anchored to a cleat.
- This method of hoisting a flag is perfectly satisfactory in most instances.
- one end of the rope is attached to the top attachment point on a flag and the rope then runs inside the actual flag-pole.
- the flag-pole may have a hole drilled in it for this purpose or it may be in the form of a pipe.
- the flag-pole Inside the flag-pole is a unit for winding and unwinding the rope, this being at a suitable level to be operated manually by a person standing on the ground. A weight and a loop encompassing the flag-pole are attached to the lower attachment point of the flag.
- An arrangement of the above-mentioned type makes it impossible to lower a flag which has been hoisted. It is complicated to drill a transverse hole to prove communication with the axial hole in the flag-pole. Furthermore, the transverse hole must be provided with suitable sliding means to prevent the rope from becoming worn upon passage through the hole.
- the object of the present invention is to produce an end-piece enabling the end of a rope to be passed to the longitudinal hollow of the flag-pole without having to make a transverse hole in the upper end of the flagpole.
- This is achieved in that the end-piece consists of two units arranged one after the other and joined together. One unit is designed for attachment to the upper end of the flag-pole. The other unit has a transverse aperture leading to a passage running through both the units.
- the two units are joined together by means of a hollow shaft and a bearing consisting of a hole.
- the shaft is connected to one of the two units and the bearing to the other.
- the bearing may consist of a pipe.
- connection between the two units consists of a hollow shaft and a bearing
- the two units may be pivotable in relation to each other.
- the two units are so arranged as to prevent relative movement in axial direction.
- the second unit may be in the form of a sphere or may be such that a sphere can be attached thereto.
- Figure 1 shows an end-piece in accordance with the present invention
- Figure 2 shows part of the end-piece in section
- Figure 3 shows a flag and flag-pole.
- a unit 2 At the top end of the flag-pole 1 is a unit 2, substantially in the form of a sleeve. This may be attached to the end of the flag-pole by means of a shrink fit or by suitable screw or nut joints.
- a bearing 6 At the top of the unit 2 is a bearing 6 in the form of a cylinder.
- the upper end of the unit 2 is provided with a contact surface 7.
- the second unit 3 is provided at its lower end with a hollow shaft 4.
- the shaft 4 is provided at the top with a peripheral shoulder 8 for cooperation with the contact surface 7.
- the shaft 4 At its lower end the shaft 4 is provided with a locking ring 9 or some other member to prevent axial movement of the second unit 3 in relation to the unit 2.
- a transverse hole 10 is provided in the second unit and communicates with the through-passage formed by the shaft 4 and upper part of the unit 2.
- the bearing 6 and shaft 4 may be so arranged in relation to each other that the parts 2 and 3 are unable to rotate in relation to each other. However, it is preferable for the two parts 2 and 3 to be pivotable in relation to each other.
- the second unit 3 is provided with an attachment pin 17 for a decorative sphere 12.
- a rope 11 is passed through the hole 10 and passage 5, running from a reeling unit 16 at the lower end of the flag-pole. This unit is enclosed in order to prevent damage.
- the other end of the rope 11 is attached to the attachment point at the top corner of a flag 13.
- the lower corner of the flag 13 is provided with an attachment point from which is suspended a weight 14 with a loop 15 encompassing the flag-pole 1.
- the end-piece according to the invention need only be fitted over the end of the flag-pole 1 and secured thereto by a screw joint or shrinking.
- the end-piece is thus extremely simple to apply and eliminates the need for a transverse hole in the upper end of the flagpole.
- the units 2 and 3 being pivotable in relation to each other offers the advantage that the upper part will rotate with the movement of the flag about the geometric axis of the flag-pole, thus eliminating the risk of it becoming twisted when blown by the wind.

Abstract
Des mâts à drapeaux (1) en métal ou en plastique sont pourvus d'un orifice à leur extrémité supérieure pour permettre la mise en place dans le mât (1) d'un câble (11), à l'exclusion de son extrémité que l'on relie à la fixation dans l'angle supérieur d'un drapeau (13). La fixation à l'angle inférieur du drapeau (13) est reliée par un poids (14) à une boucle (15) autour du mât (1). L'autre extrémité du câble (11) est reliée à un enrouleur (16) disposé à l'intérieur du mât (1) à un niveau au-dessus du sol adapté à sa manoeuvre, qui se fait manuellement. Le but de l'invention est d'éviter la nécessité de prévoir un orifice pour le câble à l'extrémité supérieure du mât (1) ainsi que l'enchevêtrement du drapeau une fois hissé. Ce but est réalisé par l'utilisation d'une pièce d'extrémité composée de deux éléments (2 et 3) disposés l'un après l'autre et de préférence orientables l'un par rapport à l'autre. Un (3) des éléments possède un orifice (10) destiné à recevoir un câble (11) en communication avec un passage (5) disposé dans les deux ensembles (2 et 3) pour recevoir le câble qui passe par ledit orifice (10).Flagpoles (1) made of metal or plastic are provided with an orifice at their upper end to allow the installation in the mast (1) of a cable (11), excluding its end that it is connected to the attachment in the upper corner of a flag (13). The attachment to the lower corner of the flag (13) is connected by a weight (14) to a loop (15) around the mast (1). The other end of the cable (11) is connected to a reel (16) disposed inside the mast (1) at a level above the ground suitable for its operation, which is done manually. The object of the invention is to avoid the need to provide an opening for the cable at the upper end of the mast (1) as well as the entanglement of the flag once hoisted. This object is achieved by the use of an end piece composed of two elements (2 and 3) arranged one after the other and preferably orientable relative to each other. One (3) of the elements has an orifice (10) intended to receive a cable (11) in communication with a passage (5) disposed in the two assemblies (2 and 3) to receive the cable which passes through said orifice (10) .
