ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a garment clamping device for automobile antennas upon which a flag or banner may be secured and displayed. The clamping device comprises two generally rectangular shaped halves which are joined together by a hinge strap mechanism. Each half has at least one aperture and at least one corresponding mounting stud for clamping the two halves around an automobile antenna. Further, each half has at least one barb and at least one corresponding aperture located on the other half for holding and supporting a display flag after the apparatus is clamped around the antenna. Extending from one half is a cap for securing the apparatus atop the antenna. In operation, the device is positioned around an antenna and the mounting stud, barbs and respective apertures are engaged. Once engaged, the hinge straps form a cavity wherein the antenna is displaced. The cap of the device is positioned so that it rests upon the antenna ball located atop the antenna thereby keeping the clamp in a visibly appealing position. In certain embodiments, additional support is provided by a tape strip or other adhesive. In certain other embodiments, an attachment means for attaching the device to a bicycle or motor bike is provided. The attachment means comprises an elongated shaft and a second clamping device.
