  The storage portion 1 is formed with an entrance / exit 1a through which the flag body 3 enters and exits in a part of the cylinder, and a fitting projection 1b that can slide in the fitting recess of the outer cylinder at least at one part of the outer periphery. Is provided. A bottom surface of the storage portion 1 is formed, and a shaft hole 1c that pivotally supports the lower side of the rotation shaft 6 of the flag B is formed at the center of the bottom surface. Furthermore, the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the storage unit 1 is formed with a flange 1d that is larger than the diameter of the cylinder so that the storage unit 1 does not come out upward when the storage unit 1 is inserted into the support unit 2 and assembled.

  A thick portion 2a is formed in the upper end portion of the support portion 2 for inserting and storing the storage portion 1 so as to prevent the storage portion 1 from being inserted from below and coming out upward. In addition, a fitting recess 2 b that is slidably fitted to the fitting protrusion 1 b of the storage portion 1 is provided, and serves as a guide when the storage portion 1 is stored in the support portion 2.

  The flag B stored in the storage unit 1 is obtained by guiding a flag body 3 serving as a flag field with a thin metal such as stainless steel so that the top and bottom are flexible. This is disadvantageous because the cloth or the synthetic resin flag body 3 alone is too soft and winds up and flutters. Therefore, the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5 are inserted in the upper and lower sides for reinforcement. Further, the tips of the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5 are bent to form the locking portions 4a and 5a. And the base end part of the flag main body 3 is fixed to the rotating shaft 6 and can be wound up.

  As shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, the portable flag winding mechanism 10 is incorporated in a cap body 11 attached to the upper end of the storage unit 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a rotation bearing 12 for supporting the rotation shaft 6 of the flag B is rotatably attached to the center of the cap body 11, and one end of a return spring 13 is attached to the rotation bearing 12. Is fixed. The other end of the return spring 13 is fixed to the inner periphery of the cap body 11. The receiving surface of the rotating shaft 6 of the rotating bearing 12 is D-cut according to the shape of the tip surface of the rotating shaft 6.

  When the flag body 3 is pulled out in the direction of the arrow C in FIG. 5, the winding mechanism 10 configured in this manner returns to the return spring 13 in the tightening direction. When the force is applied and the stopper mechanism 20 is released with the knob 21, the flag body 3 is automatically wound by the action of the return spring 13.

A stopper piece 22 located inside the case and a spring urging force 23 for urging the knob 21 are provided. In the free state, the knob 21 is urged clockwise by the urging spring 23. Therefore, the stopper piece 22 integrated with the knob 21 has its tip 22a strongly strengthening the upper guide 4 of the flag body 3. Since it is pressed, the movement of the flag body 3 is restricted and stops at a predetermined position.

  On the other hand, when the knob 21 is moved counterclockwise with a finger, the tip 22a of the stopper piece 22 leaves the upper guide 4 of the flag body 3, so that the movement of the flag body 3 is released and the flag body 3 It is wound by action. The knob 21 is mounted in a state of being lifted from the cap body 11, and the rear end portion 22 b of the stopper piece 22 is not in contact with the return spring 13 in this state. However, when the knob 21 is pressed, the rear end 22b of the stopper piece 22 comes into contact with the return spring 13, so that when the flag body 3 is wound up, the flag body 3 is wound by pressing the knob 21. It is possible to adjust the taking speed.

The portable flag constructed as described above will not flutter even if the wind blows, so it will be easier to understand what is displayed on the flag, for example, if you write the name of the person you are looking for at the airport terminal or crowded place Even easier to find.
Further, when storing the flag B, if the stopper mechanism 20 is released by pressing the knob 21, the winding mechanism 10 can be wound around the storage unit 1 with one touch, and the storage unit 1 with the flag B wound up. Can be further stored in the support portion 2, so that it becomes very compact and can be a portable flag that is convenient to carry.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, Of course, various aspects are possible within a claim.
For example, although the storage unit 1 and the support unit 2 are configured in two stages in the above-described embodiment, it is needless to say that the storage unit 1 and the support unit 2 can be configured in multiple stages such as three stages and four stages.
