ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to mounting decorative devices, emblems and flags to automobiles and more particularly to the mounting of such items to the hood ornament of an automobile. The present invention is attached to the hood ornament by a first body means which fits over the hood ornament and which contains on its inside rubberized strips or gaskets or the like which cause it to fit snuggly onto the hood ornament. A second body means is of similar shape and a slightly larger size than the first body means and fits over the first body means and snaps onto the first body means. The second body means is transparent so that any designs, emblems, logos or the like placed between the two body means will be visable from outside the device. The two body means have rounded edges so that the risk of injury from impalement thereon is greatly reduced. The first and second body means may have holes therein with said holes being aligned between the first and second body means so that pins which are approximately U-shaped may have one leg of the pin inserted into the holes with the second leg thereof flush against the exterior of the second body means and so that flags attached to the exterior of the pin may hang freely therefrom without the necessity of having a flag staff which protrudes from the device and causes a greater risk of injury should anyone or anything come into contact with the device.
