IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UTILITY MODEL

All components of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the drawings and the reference positions indicated on them for a more complete understanding of the scope and all technical aspects of the claimed technical solution by a person skilled in the art.

In fig. Figure 1 shows the inventive anti-vandal flagpole device.

The top with hole 1 is a dome-shaped element made, for example, of aluminum or stainless steel. Installation is carried out on the rotating head 2 using a bolt, closing the rotating head 2, and serves as protection from external physical influences; the cable 9 is threaded into the top with hole 1.

The rotating head 2 is a bracket, for example made of metal with a guide wheel installed inside to reduce friction, and fixed in the upper part of the frame 8 using a bearing. Used to rotate the flag in the direction of wind movement under the influence of air masses. To protect the joints from external influences, a top with hole 1 is attached to the rotating head 2.

The pocket of flag 3 is sewn to flag 10 and is a rectangular piece of fabric, sewn together at the edges and sewn to the side of flag 10. It has double eyelets on both sides. In the pocket of the flag 3 there is a weighting material 7. It is used to create a reliable fixation of the flag 10 and prevent the flag from tangling when raising and lowering. To avoid possible deformations of the blade, metal rings are installed in the places where the carabiner is threaded to prevent wear of the blade.

Set of beads 4 is a metal cable passed through plastic balls, with loops at the ends of the cable. The set of beads 4 is fastened by clasping the frame 8 and securing it by threading a carabiner through the loops, which serves to assemble into a single structure such elements as flag 10 with a sewn-on flag pocket 3, as well as a weighting agent 7. It is used to fix flag 10.

Removable handle 5 is a curved metal part with a plastic winding at the end, designed to be grasped by the hand. At the opposite end it has a hole for installation in the groove of the reel for winding cable 6. It is used when lowering and raising flag 10.

The cable winding reel 6 is a device with a central shaft to which the cable 9 is attached. It has a hole with petals for attaching a removable handle 5 in its design. It is installed in the cavity of the frame 8 and secured, for example, with bolts.

The weighting agent 7 is, for example, a hollow, cast, or filled with filler pipe, at the ends of which there are places for fastening in the form of holes. It is secured in the flag pocket 3 using carabiners. Used to secure flag 10 and prevent it from twisting in windy conditions.

Frame 8 is a hollow tube with a gradual narrowing towards the upper part. It is used to secure the top with hole 1 and the rotary head 2; a reel for winding cable 6 is installed in the internal cavity.

The cable 9 is made, for example, of stainless steel or a rope can be used. The cable 9 is attached to the central shaft of the reel for winding the cable 6, after which it is pulled through the frame 8, threaded through the rotating head 2, the top with a hole 1 and secured into the prepared holes for fastening in the pocket of the flag 3, to provide support for the flag 10.

Flag 10 is a rectangular piece of fabric of a certain color scheme, sewn on the side to the pocket of flag 3.

The device operates as follows.

The anti-vandal flagpole is an internally closed system with the possibility of influence from the outside through a removable handle 5. When the removable handle 5 is rotated, the cable 9 is wound onto the central shaft of the cable winding reel 6, as a result of which the flag 10 rises to the highest point of the frame 8. The passage of the cable 9 through the top with a hole 1 and the rotating head 2, as well as the tension provided by the weighting material 7, attached to the flag 10 inside the flag pocket 3, prevents the possibility of knots forming and failure of the anti-vandal flagpole. A set of beads 4, fixed around the body 8, secures the flag 10 and prevents it from twisting in windy weather.

To prevent acts of vandalism, the removable handle 5 can be quickly dismantled, since it is secured by clamping metal petals located in a hole located in the cable winding reel 6.

Thus, increasing the reliability of the anti-vandal flagpole is achieved.
