ABSTRACT:
A flagstaff including upper and lower end portions each having upper and lower ends. The lower end of the upper end portion is downwardly telescoped into and rotatably received in the upper end of the lower end portion and includes lanyard structure for raising and lowering a flag relative to the upper end portion. The lower end of the upper end portion is yieldingly biased toward an upper position from a lower limit position and first rotary coupling structure releasbly latches the upper end portion to the lower end portion against upward removal therefrom. When the upper end portion is latched to the lower end portion it is slightly downwardly depressed from the upper position to which it is yieldingly biased and the lower end portion includes a human simulating figure including an articulated right arm shiftable between a downwardly extending, position and a hand salute position and yieldingly biased toward the downwardly extending position. Actuating structure is provided for overcoming the biasing action on the right arm and moving the right arm from the lowered postion to the hand salute position as the upper end portion is shifted toward its lower limit position.
