ABSTRACT:
An anti-fouling device for tethering a flag or banner to a supporting member, mainly a small, house-mounted flag pole. This device includes an externally radiused, tapered housing, mounted on top end of flag pole, with a hole through apex leading into a recessed area of the housing, and a tether, with one end secured into the recessed area by way of the apex hole, and with opposite end of the tether secured to top grommet of the flag or banner. By this tether from the flag to the top of the pole, with nothing to obstruct the movement, and with freedom for the flag to move up and down and around in a 360-degree circle, and the effect of the weight of the flag being reduced by not being cantilevered from the top of the pole, binding cannot occur. This device also includes an additional tether connecting lower grommet of the flag to a floating link which surrounds a pair of guides that are positioned and secured onto flagpole adjacent to the lower grommet of flag. This tether from flag to floating link surrounding the pole allows the flag to float freely around the pole when pole is placed in any vertical, angular or horizontal position.
