Title:
HALYARD SYSTEM FOR A FLAG POLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004113649
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a halyard system configured to suspend a flag (130) to a flag pole (110). The halyard system includes a holding member (170), a line member (150) and a weighted-down mass structure (190). The holding member is coupled to the flag pole. The line member is operatively coupled to an upper side portion of the flag and extends through an upper portion of the flag pole to be removably coupled to the holding member. The weighted-down mass structure is operatively coupled to a lower side portion of the flag and operable to freely hang from the lower side portion of the flag. With this arrangement, the weighted-down mass structure is operable to place tension on the line member and a peripheral side of the flag (132) so as to substantially maintain the peripheral side of the flag in a suspended position along side the flag pole.
