[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there are various types of flags, but the basic structure of a general flag is such that one end of one flag pole is used as a base and the other bar-shaped part is made of, for example, cloth or resin film. It was constructed by fixing one side of the flag part made of such a triangular or square flexible material. Such a basic structure does not change regardless of the size of the flag.

[0003] However, to put it in a strong sense, a large flag is formed by sewing a set of a plurality of tying straps on one side of a triangular or square flag section. It is tied and secured to a rod at the end, while relatively small, for example, a signal flag used in transportation and a flag used in traffic control at construction sites. A flag is a point in which all sides of a triangular or quadrangular flag are fixed to the bar on the other end of the flagpole with an adhesive or other appropriate means.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, with the conventional flag as described above, for example, if the flag is swung by hand or the wind blows and the flag flutters, the flag will not be wrapped around the flagpole and will not be opened. was there.

[0005] Therefore, even if the flag is viewed from a long distance, not only cannot the characters and patterns written on the flag be recognized, but also the color of the flag cannot be sufficiently recognized in some cases. As a result, there was a problem that the warning effect and the advertising effect of the flag were not exhibited.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem. Even if the flag is swung by hand or the flag flies in the wind, the flag does not wrap around the flag pole. Another object of the present invention is to provide a flag that always keeps the flag open when the flag pole is set to a state other than vertical.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

 Hereinafter, the embodiment shown in the figures of the flag of the present invention will be described in more detail. 1 and 2 show a relatively small flag 10 used as a flag as an embodiment of the present invention. The flag 10 of this embodiment is basically configured by attaching a flag 11 formed of a flexible material to a flag pole 12.

In such a flag 10, the flag pole 12 includes a base 13 having a predetermined length for supporting the entire flag 10, and a flag mounting portion 14 extending from the base 13 and fixing one side of the flag 11. It is composed of The flag mounting portion 14 fixedly connects the fixed support portion 14a extending from the base portion 13 to one side 11a of the flag portion 11 and, with respect to the fixed support portion, the center of the axis along the one side of the flag portion. And a free rotating portion 14b rotatably supported.

The fixed support portion 14a forming the flag mounting portion 14 is formed of a first hollow pipe, and the fixed support portion 14a has a second hollow pipe as a free rotating portion 14b. One of the hollow pipes is loosely fitted and supported outside. Therefore, in the following description, the reference numerals 14a and 14b are also described with the terms "first hollow pipe" and "second hollow pipe", respectively.

As described above, the first hollow pipe 14a and the second hollow pipe 14b are configured as a double pipe as a whole by loosely fitting the latter pipe outside the former pipe. . As a result, the second hollow pipe 14b can rotate with the longitudinal center axis of the first hollow pipe 14a as the rotation center axis.

The base portion 13 is tightly fitted with a rubber cylindrical exterior material 13b on the outside thereof as a core material 13a with an aluminum hollow pipe as a core material 13a so as to provide easy grip and anti-slip function when held by hand. It is configured. The aluminum hollow pipe forming the core material 13a is extended as it is to be the first hollow pipe forming the above-mentioned fixed support portion 14a. That is, the hollow pipe that is the core 13a of the base 13 and the first hollow pipe that forms the fixed support portion 14a are one aluminum pipe.

As described above, the second hollow pipe 14b is loosely and rotatably fitted as a free rotating part to the first hollow pipe 14a constituting the flag mounting part 14. A ring-shaped stopper 15 made of aluminum is fitted around the outer periphery of the first hollow pipe 14a at the end of the second hollow pipe 14b in the direction of the base 13 so that eyelets or screws 16 can be inserted. And is fixed to the first hollow pipe 14a.

Therefore, the end of the second hollow pipe 14b, which is a free-rotating portion, slides on the end of the rubber-made cylindrical exterior material 13b constituting the base 13, and the end of the second hollow pipe 14b rotates. It does not inhibit the turnover. By the way, when the second hollow pipe 14b is rotatably mounted on the first hollow pipe 14a at a position where the end on the base 13 side and the stopper 15 are in sliding contact with each other, the second hollow pipe 14b The end of the first hollow pipe 14a slightly projects from the other end of the first hollow pipe 14a.

The projecting portion of the first hollow pipe 14a projecting from the other end of the second hollow pipe 14b is also made of aluminum so as to prevent the second pipe 14b from coming out of the first pipe 14a. A ring-shaped stopper 17 made of a material is provided and fixed to the first hollow pipe 14a using eyelets or screws 16 or the like.

As a result, both ends of the second hollow pipe 14b are sandwiched between the aluminum and ring-shaped stoppers 15, 17 fixed to the first hollow pipe 14a. . Accordingly, the second hollow pipe 14b, which is a free rotating portion, can freely rotate without causing a displacement or dropping in the longitudinal direction with respect to the first hollow pipe 14a.

The second hollow pipe 14b, which is a free rotating portion, is wound around one side of the flag portion 11 made of a substantially rectangular cloth woven with resin fibers, and the edge around the hollow pipe 14a is a flag. The portion of the portion 11 that merges with the main body is sewn to form a stitched portion 11a, which is fixed in a tubular shape.

However, in such a method of fixing the flag portion 11 to the second hollow pipe 14b, one side of the flag portion 11 may not be securely fixed to the second hollow pipe 14b. It is desirable that a plurality of C-shaped clips 18 be used to clamp the flag portion 11 around one side thereof from the outer peripheral surface side of the second hollow pipe 14b, thereby firmly fixing the two.

As described above, one side of the flag portion 11 is turned back, a sewing portion 11a is formed at a junction with the flag portion main body to form a tubular portion, and the flag pole 12 is inserted into the tubular portion to insert a flag pole. When the second hollow pipe 14b of the partial mounting portion 14 is fixed to the second hollow pipe 14b using the C-shaped clip 18, various flag portions can be easily exchanged using the flag pole 12 and used. There is an advantage that you can.

In the flag section 11 having one side connected to the second pipe 14b in this way, the other side opposite to this side is folded back and sewn with the main body to form a tubular section, and the inside thereof is formed. After the weight plate 19 is inserted, a weight portion 20 is provided whose both ends are closed by sewing.

As the weight plate 19, it is preferable to use a plastic plate having an appropriate thickness from the viewpoint of easiness of manufacturing the flag. However, other than the plate made of such a material, the flag portion 11 is spread. Any material can be used as long as it gives a certain amount of tension. As a result, the other side opposite to one side of the flag portion 11 connected to the second pipe 14b always hangs downward, and as a result, the rotation of the second hollow pipe 14b is induced to cause the flag portion 11 to rotate. The deployed state can be maintained.

In the flag tool 10 of the above-described embodiment, the flag portion 11 is wound around the second hollow pipe 14b over the entire length of the flag portion 11, in other words, over the entire length of the side portion. Although the tongue is fixed to the hollow pipe 14b, a plurality of tongues may be formed partially on one side of the flag portion 11, and these tongues may be wound around the second hollow pipe 14b and fixed in the same manner as described above. It goes without saying that it is good. Since the flag of the present invention does not include a connecting means for connecting the flag portion 11 and the second hollow pipe 14b, any known connecting method can be used for the connecting means.

In the flag 10 of the above-described embodiment, the second hollow pipe 14a has substantially the same length as one side of the flag portion 11, but is limited to such a second hollow pipe 14b. Not something. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of pipes, that is, a ring 21, which are sheathed with a space therebetween in a first hollow pipe 14 a and have a short length in a direction along a longitudinal central axis, that is, a ring 21, are used as free rotating parts. Is also good. However, in that case, it is necessary to prevent each of the rings 21 from being displaced in the longitudinal direction by sandwiching each of the rings 21 with the same stopper 22 as described above.

Further, in the flag device 10 according to the above-described embodiment, the flag portion 11 has a substantially square shape. However, the present invention is not limited to the shape of the flag portion, and has a substantially triangular shape. Any flag portion can be used, such as a flag portion or a flag portion that is substantially square or substantially triangular and whose peripheral edge is designed in a wavy shape.

[0029]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the flag of the present invention, even if the flag is swung by holding it in the hand, or the flag flies around the flag pole due to the wind, the one side of the flag is used. Since the flag pole portion fixing the flag is a free-rotating portion rotatably supported by the fixed support portion, the weight of the flag portion itself can be helped and the flag portion can be always kept open.

[0030] Therefore, even if the flag is viewed from a long distance, characters and designs written on the flag can be recognized at any time, and since the flag is always in the expanded state, the color and the like must be sufficiently recognized. As a result, the warning effect and the advertising effect of the flag can be sufficiently exhibited.
