A flag holder and flag display are disclosed. The flag holder includes an upright flag staff with a plurality of ground penetrating stakes extend from the bottom end. A flag holding rod has a proximal end and a distal end. A coupling is defined at the proximal end that is configured for rotation of the flag holding rod about the upright flag staff. The distal end is configured to carry a top edge of a flag in a fully unfurled condition. A stop assembly is coupled to the upright flag staff to rotationally support the flag holding rod at a desired elevation on the flag staff. A sleeve on a vertical edge of the flag may be rotationally carried on the top end of the flag staff.

An adjustable base to hold garden flag banner poles includes a base and two cylinders with holes for the two legs of the garden flag pole, the legs held in place with set screws on the side of the cylinders, the cylinders sit in a slot within the base, are attached to the base with two carriage bolts on the bottom of the base, one for each cylinder, the slot within the base allows the each cylinder holder of a leg components to slide to fit the multiple distances between flag pole legs.

The underground fuel tank indicator flag may comprise a stanchion and a flag. The underground fuel tank indicator flag may mark the location of a filler port where a tanker truck would couple to an underground fuel tank to add fuel to the underground fuel tank. The underground fuel tank indicator flag may convey at least one attribute of the fuel in the underground fuel tank. As non-limiting examples, the attribute may indicate the fuel type, an octane rating, or a fuel blend. The underground fuel tank indicator flag may be resilient such that a vehicle could drive over the stanchion and the stanchion will restore itself to a vertical orientation when the vehicle is moved off of the underground fuel tank indicator flag. In some embodiments, the underground fuel tank indicator flag may utilize multiple colors on the flag and/or a second flag.

A case for a flag that opens to form a base for the flag. The case is for an indoor/outdoor lighted stand in a box-like configuration that when opened provides a surface to securely hold poles that are two inches in diameter or smaller and twelve feet or less in overall height.

A portable, non-anchored support structure for positioning a retractable banner assembly and selectively deploying the assembly on a walking surface, comprises a base member and a stanchion supported by the base member in an upright position, wherein the stanchion orients the banner assembly in an upright position substantially normal to the walking surface.

A vehicle whip system includes a base component, a collar component, and a whip component. The base component includes a base housing, a first electrical connector disposed in the base housing, and one or more wires coupled to the first electrical connector and routed through the base housing. The collar component includes a collar housing forming an interior volume configured to receive an upper portion of the base housing and a second electrical connector disposed in the collar housing and configured to electrically couple with the first electrical connector responsive to the collar housing receiving the base housing. The whip component connected to the collar housing. The whip component includes one or more electrical components configured to couple to the one or more wires via the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector.

A flag type warning marker consisting of two parts—a flag supported by a uniquely shaped flagstaff to be inserted into the ground directly above underground utility lines to mark their location. By the unique shape of the flagstaff, the marker also indicates the direction or path of the utility lines. The flagstaff includes one C-shaped offset segment projecting outwardly from the vertical flagstaff in the direction of the associated utility lines path. In another embodiment of the invention, there are two separate offset segments oriented at ninety degrees to one another to designate a ninety degree corner of the utility lines below. Another offset segment of the flagstaff near the lower end of the staff can be added and be partially embedded into the ground to anchor the marker in order to prevent it from rotation after installation, thus maintaining the integrity of the directional indication.

A system for mounting and displaying a flag on an animal includes: a flag, a mast and a coupler. The flag includes any desired design and often includes the colors and design associated with a specific football team. The mast is attached to the flag and is operable to hold the flag in a position away from an animal's body when the system is coupled with an animal. The coupler is attached to the mast and is operable to couple the mast to an animal and position the mast such that the mast extends away from the animal. With the coupler and mast, one can releasably couple the system to an accessory worn by an animal such as a collar, a shirt, a sweater, a rain slick, or stockings, or to the animal itself such as the animal's tail or back. In this manner, one can couple the system to a variety of different animal's each of which have different body shapes and/or sizes.

A load distributing deck insert for supporting an object above the surface of a deck. The load distributing deck insert may include a body, a saddle, and a load receiving section. The load distributing deck insert may avoid contacting an upper surface of the adjacent deck boards.

A retractable flag enclosure apparatus has an enclosure shell that has an aperture. The retractable flag enclosure apparatus also has a knob operably attached to a top end of the enclosure shell. Additionally, the retractable flag enclosure apparatus has a primary dowel and a secondary dowel. Furthermore, the retractable flag enclosure apparatus has flag with a first end adhered to the primary dowel. The flag and the primary dowel are positioned within the enclosure shell such that a portion of the flag is retracted through the aperture via motion applied to the knob and a portion of the flag is pulled through the aperture. Also, the flag has a second end that is adhered to the secondary dowel such that the secondary dowel is positioned on the exterior of the aperture and prevented from entering the enclosure shell.
