ABSTRACT:
A flag holder for attachment to a standard highway sign, for holding a pair of symmetrically arrayed warning flags at the top of the sign, and for permitting the flags to be folded downwardly for transport and storage. When used on roll-up highway signs the flags may be rolled up along with the roll-up sign. The holder includes an elongated rigid holder body which is adapted for attachment adjacent the top of a standard rigid or roll-up highway warning sign. Attachment is by means of bolts in the case of a rigid sign, or at least one clamp attached to the body for fixedly securing the body to the strut or brace of a roll-up sign. A pair of elongated flag staffs are pivotally attached at one end to the holder body and each has a flexible warning flag at the other end. To hold the flags in open operable position a pair of elongated spring clips extend between a point on the holder body spaced from the pivotal attachment of the flat flag staffs to the body and a point on the flag staffs spaced from their pivotal attachment to the holder body. The spring clips have a pivotal connection at one end and a separable male-female stud-aperture connection at the other end. The spring clips may be pivotally connected to the holder body and make a separable male-female stud-aperture connection to the flag staff, or the spring clip may be pivotally connected to the flag staff and make a separable connection with the holder body.
