Abstract

An attachment device for mounting pinwheels, flags and other objects supported by posts onto frames of bicycles, bicycle trailers, scooters, strollers, wheelchairs and other structures with tubular components.

Claims

1. A device for attaching one elongated post of a first predetermined diameter to another elongated mounting support of a second predetermined diameter, comprising:

(a) a mount having a pair of opposite ends with a hollow barrel at one end and a base at the other end,

(b) said hollow barrel being sized to receive and hold said post,

(c) said base comprising an elongated sleeve-clamp having a pair of opposite ends and a C-shaped configuration when seen from either end, said C-shaped configuration being sized to snap over said elongated mounting support and extend around at least a major portion of said support,

(d) said hollow barrel being connected to said base and being oriented perpendicularly to said base so that when said elongated mounting support is horizontal and base is affixed to said elongated mounting support, said hollow barrel will be vertically oriented and will extend upright from said base,

(e) said hollow barrel being joined at a mid portion of said base so that two end portions of said base extend out from said hollow barrel,

whereby said end portions of said base can be secured to said elongated mounting support by a pair of respective ties wrapped around said end portions and said elongated mounting support when said base is affixed to said elongated mounting support, and said mount will thereby be able to hold said post in a vertical, upright orientation.
