EDWARD H. HAN CK AND ERNEST I-I. DAVID, OF MAY'WOOD, ILLINOIS.
FLAG-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 19, 1916.
Application filed October 12, 1915. Serial No. 55,472.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, EDWARD H. HANCK, a citizen of the United States, and ERNEST H. DAVID, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, both residing at Maywood, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flag-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to a holder adapted to retain in place flags or banners attached to a pole or similar member.
The principal objects of the invention are to provide a device of the character specified. which is cheap, simple, and durable of construction, and which can be readily and easily attached to the building or other structure from which it is desired to display the flag.
A further object of the invention is to so arrange the holder that the flag can be adjusted in or out therefrom, as desired.
A further object of the invention is to provide a clamping means which will engage the pole or staff of the flag and securely retain the same in position, irrespective of the size or configuration of said pole or staff.
A further object of the invention is to unite the ends of the metal which forms the flag-staff receiving portion of the device, so that it will not expand under the pressure exerted by the member which looks the staff in place.
The invention further consists in the features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a view in perspective, showing the holder of the present invention applied to a structure, and with the flag in position within the holder; Fig. 2 is a perspective, on a somewhat enlarged scale, of the holder, showing a portion of the flag-staff clamped in position within the receiving portion of the holder; Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 2; Fig. l is a cross section on line H of Fig. 3, looking in the direction of the arrow; Fig. 5 is a plan view ofthe holder, with the locking member and flag staff in place; and Fig. 6 is a view of the blank from which the holder is formed.
In the art to which the present invention relates, it is desirable to provide a holder for the flag which can receive and retain the staff of the flag, no matter What the size or shape of said stafi may be, since flag-staffs are of varying sizes in cross secthe structure and through or about the fiagstaff. This is undesirable, in that it mars the structure, and in that it requires time and trouble in the application thereof.
Referring now to the drawings, the holder of the present invention, as there illustrated, is formed from a single piece of metal, constituting a body 7. The blank from which this holder is formed is shown in Fig. 6, and, as there illustrated, is of substantially L-sha'ped formation, and consists of a portion 8 and a portion 9 extending at right angles to one another. In forming the holder, the portion 9 is bent back upon itself to form a sleevelike structure 10, which may be termed the receiving portion of the de vice, since it is this part which receives the flag-staff. One edge of the metal which forms this receiving portion is provided with a notch 11, and the other edge with. a tongue 12, which, when the device is formed, provides an interlocking connection between the edges of the metal forming the receiving portion, and in the construction shown is of the dovetail variety. This construction. is provided in order to eliminate danger of the receiving portion spreading when pres sure is applied to the flag-staff by manipulation of the locking member therefor.
The body of the receiving portion 10 is formed with a tapped opening 13, into which is inserted the stem of a thumb-nut 14. This thumlrnut, as will be seen from Fig. 4., projects into the interior of the receiving portion and engages with the flagstaif 15 inserted therein. It is obvious that this thumb-nut, therefore, acts as a locking member, which, when properly positioned, engages and holds the flag staff securely within the retaining portion, and thus the flag is held in position. By forming the retaining portion 10 of suflicient diameter, it will receive all sizes and forms of flagstafl, and by the adjustable locking means provided, a flag-staif of any size or any form can be securely locked in place. Thus, the device is applicable for use with flagstaffs of all sizes and character.
The portion 8 of the holder constitutes what may be termed an attaching member 16, which, as will be seen from the drawings, is of a plate-like variety and is formed with holes 17, through which screws, tacks, or other devices, may be inserted for securing the device as a Whole to a building or other structure. Also, by referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the opening in the retaining portion lies entirely to one side of the attaching portion, so that the flag-staff may be moved across said attaching portion, permitting adjustment of the flag in and out, as desired.
The device, as a whole, is extremely simple and cheap of manufacture, and can be easily installed, and is of a configuration that is not unsightly when placed upon the building or other structure.
Vi e claim:
1. A flag holder, formed of a blank composed of a single piece of metal, said blank being of L-shaped formation, one arm of the blank constituting, when the holder is formed, a plate-like attaching portion, the other arm constituting, when the holder is formed, a sleeve-likeretaining portion, an interlocking connection between the ends of the metal forming the receiving portion, and adjustable clamping means carried by the receiving portion for engaging and looking the flag-staff therein, substantially as described.
2. A flag holder, formed of a blank composed of a single piece of metal, said blank being of Lshaped formation, one arm of the blank constituting, when the holder is formed, a plate-like attaching portion, the other arm constituting, when the holder is formed, a sleeve-like retaining portion, an interlocking connection between the ends of the metal forming the receiving portion, and adjustable clamping means carried by the receiving portion for engaging and locking the flag-sta therein, the opening in said retaining portion lying entirely to one side formed a sleeve-like retaining portion, said attaching portion depending from the re taining portion and extending parallel with the axial center of the opening in the receiving portion and entirely to one side of said opening, and adjustable clamping means carried by the receiving portion for engaging and locking the flag-staff therein,
' substantially as described.
4.. A flag holder formed of a fiat sheet metal blank, said blank having parts angularly disposed to one another, a portion 4 of said parts constituting when the holder is formed a flat plate-like attaching portion, the remaining portion constituting when the holder is formed a sleeve-like retaining portion, said attaching portion extending in alinenient with a wall of the retaining portion and extending from the retaining portion in a direction parallel with the axial center of the opening in the retaining portion and entirely to one side of said opening, and
