An adjustable telescoping flagpole that has a plurality of hollow tube sections and a plurality of flagpole clips. The telescoping flagpole may be extended and locked at any point from the fully extended length to the fully compacted length. Each telescoping section of the flagpole has a fixed flagpole clip at the top of the telescoping section and an adjustable clip that may be moved along the telescoping section to produce a flagpole of a desired length.

The assembly disclosed herein is to attach a mast used by an off-road vehicle to the off-road vehicle itself using a mount assembly and a base assembly. The mount assembly is formed for the most part from non-magnetic materials is attached to an off-road vehicle by a ferromagnetic bolt at its proximal end. The base assembly is inserted into the mount assembly's open distal end the base assembly having a magnet attached to its proximal end that attracts the ferromagnetic bolt in the mount assembly and an opening at its distal end to receive an adapter that is connected to a mast. The proximal end of the base assembly having a surface effect that is received by the ferromagnetic bolt to prevent base assembly from rotating within the mount assembly.

A banner support supports a banner or flag unfurled on the pole. When a preset trigger wind load is exceeded, the banner bracket rotates away from the direction of the wind so as to limit the stress on the pole. The mechanism which enables bracket rotation comprises a disk-shaped cam with a spring-loaded plunger extending from the support arm that biases a cam follower into a proximal cam detent. Subject to the restraint of the cam follower, the cam rotates around a transversely axial cam shaft connected to the support arm. The cam is rigidly attached to the banner bracket, which rotates along with the cam. When the preset wind load is exceeded, the cam follower is forced out of the cam detent, allowing the cam and the connected banner bracket to rotate away from the wind direction. As the banner turns away from the wind, the wind stress decreases, allowing the spring plunger to force the cam follower back into the cam detent, thereby restoring the banner to its rest position.

A fastening device for a light control flag includes a batten including at least one flag fastener, where in use the flag fastener secures a portion of a light control flag to the batten. A support fastener is attached to the batten, where in use the support fastener affixes the batten to a support member of the light control flag. A light control flag including the light control flag fastening device, and a method of securing a portion of a light control flag, are also described.

A multipurpose memento is provided. The multipurpose memento includes a body made of a woven fabric material. The body includes an upper edge, a lower edge opposite the upper edge, a first side edge and a second side edge opposite the first side edge. The body may be in the shape of a rectangle. A first sleeve is formed along the first side edge and a second sleeve is formed along the upper edge. A post may fit within either the first sleeve or the second sleeve, allowing the present invention the use as a crowd friendly flag/banner and to convert from a flag to a banner.

A flagpole assembly that includes: a pole, where the pole includes a top and mounting base; a plurality of openings along the left of the pole; at least one mounting hole within the mounting base; at least one removable flag, where the said flag includes flag inserts adapted for insertion into openings provided on the pole; and an anchor, where the anchor is adapted to receive the mounting base of the pole. The anchor preferably includes at least two suction cups adapted to secure to a surface of a vehicle.

In one embodiment, a flag system including a mounting sleeve and a flag. The mounting sleeve is adapted for attachment around a rod, such as a roll bar of an open-top off-road vehicle or an antenna. In one embodiment, the flag is adapted to be releasably fastened to the mounting sleeve. The mounting sleeve includes a section of material adapted for attachment around a rod by means of a zipper secured with hook-and-loop fastener, and a zipper for releasably fastening the flag to the mounting sleeve. The flag includes an ornamental portion, a zipper tape, and a transition strip having a first side coupled to the ornamental portion and a second side coupled to the zipper tape.

Flags that include a body and a fastener system including a first sheet having a plurality of hook fasteners on at least one side thereof and a second sheet having a plurality of loop fasteners on at least one side thereof. The first and second sheets are secured to the body along an edge thereof and each protrudes therefrom. The two sheets are configured to wrap around a support structure such that the hook and loop fasteners are coupled and the two sheets form a sleeve that encloses a portion of the support structure and removably secures the body to the support structure.

An apparatus and related methods includes a base attached to an upright structure (such as a street light pole), a mounting bracket that releasably engages the base while supporting a hanging banner, and an install adapter that releasably holds the mounting bracket and banner until the mounting bracket attaches to the base. A removal adapter facilitates disengaging the mounting bracket and banner from the base. The mounting bracket and install adapter (and removal adapter) are attached to a pole and engage (and disengage) remotely and without using separate fasteners, thus allowing a worker to install (or remove) banners high on the upright structure while standing on the ground. The base and mounting bracket have tapered shapes that wedgingly engage, secured by a spring-biased friction retainer. The install adapter and removal adapter have structures that facilitate remote install and removal of the mounting bracket from the base.
