20220375371 · 2022-11-24 ·

The automatic flag displayer is a weather-proof device that can be mounted and used to display a flag during appropriate times, without needing someone to manually fetch the flag and roll or unroll it. Instead, the automatic flag displayer comes with a remote control with buttons to control the necessary actions of opening or closing the rubber-sealed shutter doors where the flag is stored when not flown, lowering or raising the flag, and rolling or unrolling the flag. When the rubber-sealed shutter doors open, the flag hinge and the associated flag hinged arm can be manipulated by said remote to angle the flag out of the box. The combination of the hinge and the hinged arm provide structural support to the flag and secure it against strong winds or other hazardous weather conditions.
