ABSTRACT:
A flag storage and display device comprising a fixed lower housing, a connector pivotally connected to the top of the lower housing and an upper housing rotatably mounted on the top of the connector. An electric motor is mounted in the lower housing and linked to the connector to cause pivotal movement of the connector and upper housing between a vertical position for display of the flag and a horizontal position for projection and retraction of the flag. A second electric motor mounted within the upper housing controls the rotation of the storage roller to which the flag is attached. The flag extends outwardly through a slot in the upper housing, such housing preferably being eccentrically weighted so that the slot automatically moves to a downwardly directed position when the upper housing is pivoted to the horizontal position.
