Description

Permanently visible car window flag that can be installed or removed from an opening car window in a matter of seconds. Car flags of the usual type are permanently mounted on the car body or are laboriously attached using special adhesive mechanisms. When a car flag is permanently mounted, the body is pierced and thus permanently damaged. The method using various adhesive mechanisms (gluing, vacuum, magnetism) is either not sufficiently durable, or difficult to remove, or too expensive or too time-consuming to install or remove.

The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating an automobile flag that leaves no permanent damage or marks on the automobile, can be assembled or disassembled in a matter of seconds, has a permanently visible flag and provides the largest possible area for advertising.

This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1

• Flag tightener

• Window clamp and

• Advertising platform reached.

The invention makes it possible to quickly mount or dismount a flag on an opening window pane (crankable up and down or foldable) without causing damage or leaving permanent marks on the car, and to provide as large an area as possible for commercial advertising. This means that such a flag can be

For example, it can be used excellently in the football scene, where the sponsor of a club provides fans with a flag with the club's crest/logo and at the same time advertises itself on the advertising platform. Because it can be quickly assembled or disassembled, the flag is not permanently visible on the owner's car, and so the owner only has to/can commit to a cause temporarily. Furthermore, the flag is not permanently exposed to environmental influences and is therefore usable/durable for significantly longer, it only temporarily disrupts the aerodynamics of a car (thus only temporarily increasing fuel consumption and noise) and cannot be damaged or stolen by third parties when disassembled.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 2 .

The further development according to protection claim 2, the flag tensioner for flags enables the flags to be opened even when the vehicle is stationary and thus visible to everyone.

The advantage of the flag tightener is clear from Fig. 1. The flag material is attached vertically to the flagpole by a cover (Fig. 1 K). The flag material (Fig. 1 D) is permanently taut and therefore visible by a loop (Fig. 1 H; Fig. 5 A) that is attached to the upper free corner of the flag material (Fig. 1 H; Fig. 5 C) and is hooked into the eyelet of the flag tightener (Fig. 1 H; Fig. 5 B). To ensure that the flag points exactly in the opposite direction to the direction of travel even when the car is stationary and there is a crosswind, the flag tightener is prevented from twisting by a rectangular construction of the flagpole tip (Fig. 6 B ₁ Fig. 7 A) and the second eyelet of the flag tightener (Fig. 6 C, Fig. 8 A). With the

Flag tighteners ensure that the flag fabric never hangs down limply.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 3 .

The further development according to claim 3, the window clamp (Fig. 1 B; Fig. 9 B; Fig. 2 A; Fig. 3 B; Fig. 4 A), enables quick and easy assembly and disassembly. By pushing the window pane into the clamp, a pressure is generated which, supported by non-slip rubber (Fig. 9 A), prevents the flagpole from slipping off the window pane. The fact that the clamp can be pushed over the pane at all with the high tension is achieved by the wedge-shaped end of the clamp (Fig. 9 C).

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 4 .

The further development according to claim 4, the advertising platform (Fig. 1 G Fig. 2 A; Fig. 3 A) on the flagpole shaft, enables the optimal use of the automobile flag for advertising. Due to the significantly enlarged advertising area, which can be around 5 to 6 cm wide and 15 to 16 m long, company or product names can be clearly visible compared to the approximately 2 cm wide pole shaft. Because the advertising platform is only 2 mm thick (Fig. 1 G), it has no additional adverse effects while the automobile is driving.

Claims (4)

1. Permanently visible automobile flag that can be hung in an opening automobile window pane, characterized, that the flag base (Fig. 1 A; Fig. 2; Fig. 3; Fig. 4) can be hung on the window pane using a window clamp (Fig. 1 B; Fig. 9), the flagpole shaft is provided with an advertising platform (Fig. 1 G; Fig. 2 A; Fig. 3 A) and the flag material (Fig. 1 D) is permanently held taut or opened by a horizontally protruding rod attached to the tip of the flagpole, the flag tightener, so that the flag material (Fig. 1 D) is permanently visible. 2. Flag tightener according to claim 1, characterized in that that this flag tightener (Fig. 1 C; Fig. 5; Fig. 6 A; Fig. 8) is pulled over the top of the flagpole (upper end of the flagpole; Fig. 1 E; Fig. 6 B; Fig. 7) and its approx. 7 mm thick rod (Fig. 1 C) protrudes horizontally and permanently keeps the flag fabric (Fig. 1 D) tautly opened with a special hook at its outer end (Fig. 5). 18.11.96 Cindy and Ulf Reinhold WacholdelhaM 25 I 4Si43 BU&äidbrf Tel. 05402-2776 3. Window clamp according to claim 1,
characterized, that this window clamp is attached to the window pane without any additional screwing device. On the one hand, it is clamped between the window pane and the window insulation of the car body when the window is closed. On the other hand, in convertibles or open car windows, the necessary hold is ensured by the tension of the window clamp, supported by non-slip rubber disks (Fig. 1 F; Fig. 2 B; Fig. 9 A) ₁ . 4. Advertising platform according to protection claim 1,
characterized, that a 2-3 mm thick platform is attached to the lower part of the flagpole, the flagpole shaft (Fig. 1 G; Fig. 2 A; Fig. 3 A), thus providing a significantly larger area for advertising. There is the option of attaching the advertising platform later or designing the flagpole shaft accordingly from the outset.
