Abstract

An automobile flagpole comprising a clip portion, where the clip portion is “U” shaped in order to fit over an automobile window and to be held in place when the window is in the up position; a straight portion that extends upwards from the exterior portion of the clip, with an attached flag; the interior portion of the clip extends downward and one or more suction cups are attached in such a way to limit forces applied upon the flagpole from reaching the suction cup(s); thus allowing the flagpole to be operated on the automobile with the window either up or down.

Claims

1. A flagpole comprising:

a base;

at least one clip portion attached to the base, allowing the base to be clipped onto a window;

at least one elongated portion extends from the base;

an interior section of the clip extends from the edge of the window; and

at least one connection device secures the interior section of the clip to the window.

2. The flagpole of claim 1 where at least one item of display is attached to the elongated portion.

3. The flagpole of claim 1 where the interior of the clip extends down from the edge of the window, runs parallel to the window and at least one suction cup is attached to the interior of the clip.

4. The flagpole of claim 1 where the interior of the clip extends down and at least one suction cup is attached by a flexible material to the interior of the clip.

5. The flagpole of claim 1 where the interior of the clip extends down just enough to clear the door frame, then juts out and down, to allow room for a suction cup in between the interior clip and the window.

6. The flagpole of claim 5 where the interior portion of the clip comprises a pivotal joint, located below the jut out, which allows at least one suction cup to pivot from the rest of the flagpole.

7. The flagpole of claim 6 where the pivotal joint comprises a weakened area of the interior of the clip that allows at least one suction cup to pivot from the rest of the flagpole.

8. The flagpole of claim 6 where the pivotal joint comprises a flexible material that allows at least one suction cup to pivot from the rest of the flagpole.

9. The flagpole of claim 6 where the pivotal joint comprises hinge that allows at least one suction cup to pivot from the rest of the flagpole.

10. A flagpole comprising:

a base;

at least one clip portion is attached to the base, allowing the base to be clipped onto a window;

at least one elongated portion extends from the base;

at least one pivotal foot extends from the exterior portion of the flagpole, and

at least at least one connection device secures the foot to the window.

11. The flagpole of claim 10 where at least one item for display is attached to the elongated portion.

12. The flagpole of claim 10 where the foot is comprised of flexible material and at least one suction cup is attached to the foot.

13. The flagpole of claim 10 where the foot comprises a joint.

14. The flagpole of claim 13 where the joint comprises a weakened area in the foot, allowing at least one suction cup to pivot separately from the base.

15. The flagpole of claim 13 where the joint comprises a hinge, allowing at least one suction cup to pivot separately from the base.

16. The flagpole of claim 13 where the joint comprises a flexible material, allowing at least one suction cup to pivot separately from the base.
