ABSTRACT:
A revolving pennant 10 is provided which features a flag 20 which is attached to a handle 40 through a pivot assembly 50. The pivot assembly 50 connects the flag 20 to the handle 40 in a manner which allows the flag 20 to revolve around the handle 40 without furling. A weight region 30 is oriented upon the flag 20 to enhance an ease with which the flag 20 can be caused to revolve about the handle 40. The pivot assembly 50 includes an axle 52 attached to the handle 40 and a collar 60 surrounding the axle 52 and to which the flag 20 is attached. The collar 60 is maintained upon the axle 52 by a cap 54 and disc 57 which are oriented at ends of the axle 52 and spaced from each other, restricting travel of the collar 60 and preventing the collar 60 from falling off of the handle 40.
