2 Claims.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in means for conveniently and properly displaying flags.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a flag support for supporting a flag and staff in a definite position, said support being provided with adjusting means whereby the flag supporting upright can be easily adjusted and held in the desired upright position.
Various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification. I In the drawings;
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the standard in useful position.
Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig Figure 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view showing the means for connecting the Figure 4 is a fragmentaryvertical sectional view through the upper section of the pole.
. Figure 5 is a fragmentary detailed sectional viiew'showirrg the "means for connecting the pole section.

attached sleeve.
Figure 7 is an edge elevational view of the anchor element.
a knob or other ornament 8 secured in place by a bolt 8' having its head fastened in the upper end of the section 6 of the pole with its threaded end projecting from said upper end and an eyelet 1' issecuredin the upper end of the hem 1" formed at the inner end edge of the fiag. This tubular hem fits over the upper portion of the upper section of the pole with the eyelet resting on the upper end of the upper section and the knob 8 holds the eyelet between itself and said upper end of the pole, see Figure 4.
The lower end of the section 5 is disposed into a sleeve 9 closed at its bottom and provided with a depending hook I0. The upper portion of this sleeve 9 is provided with threads II to accommodate a burr I2 having a concaved skirt I3 for embracing the convexed apex portion I4 The upper end of the section 6 has 7 the ground. Obviously, this eliminates sockets.
of a conical shell I5. The apex portion of the shell I5 has an oversize opening therein for receiving the sleeve 9.
As shown in Figure 3, numeral I6 denotes the surface of the ground and numeral I1 denotes an opening formed therein and in which a deposit of concrete I8 is located having embedded therein a vertically disposed rod I9 on which are laterally disposed fingers 20. This element defines an anchor and is formed at its upper end with an eye I9 to which is attachable the hook I0.
It can be seen that the upper section 6 can be connected to the lower section 5 by a pin 2| which is fastened in any suitable manner in one section of the pole with a part projecting from such section and this projecting part of the pin has a friction fit in the upper section, as shown in Figure 5. Thus the" two sections are detachably connected together by the pin. The lower end of the section 5 is placed in the sleeve 9 and the burr or nut I2 can be tightened down onto the convexed upper portion I4 of the shell I5" to hold the pole sections 5 and 6 in vertical position. By tightening down on the burr I2, the conical shell I5 will be snugly clamped against and the like in pavements and other places which frequently fill up with earth or are hard to reach in wintertime when there is snow and ice about.
In storing the apparatus above described, it is to be understood that the. anchor I8, I9 is left in the ground or pavement while the rest of' the structure is taken away and stored. In connection with the storage of the structure, a special case generally referred to by numeral 22 is provided. This case consists of an elongated shell having a longitudinally extending partition 23 dividing the interior into a pair of elongated pockets, one of which is intended to receive the pole section 5 and the other to receive the pole section 6 when the flag I has been wound thereon. It will be observed, that the first-mentioned pocket is opened at its bottom and closed at its top so that the same be disposed over the section 5 while the other pocket is closed at its bottom and open at its top so that the upper section 6 can be inserted therein from the top thereof.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be under- I stood that numerous changes in the shape, size tion as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. Flag supporting means comprising a ground anchor, a shell having a wide base for engaging the ground around the anchor, a sleeve passing through the top of the shell, means for detachably connecting the lower end of the sleeve to the anchor, clamping means for clamping the sleeve to the upper end of the shell and a flag pole having its lower end seated in the sleeve.
2. Flag supporting means comprising a ground anchor, a shell having a wide base for engaging the ground around the anchor, said shell having an opening in the top, a sleeve passing through the opening and having its upper portion exteriorly threaded, a nut engaging the threaded part and having a lower flange for engaging the upper end of the shell for clamping the sleeve to the shell, said sleeve being adapted to receive the lower end of a flag pole and means for detachably connecting the lower end of the sleeve HARRY M. OLSON.
10 to the anchor.
