ABSTRACT:
An ornamental flag having a silhouette image and an improved flag suspension assembly. The flag has a substantially continuous border and an image therein. The image is provided with a substantial area of cut-out about its perimeter thereby presenting a silhouette of the image. A loop is provided along a substantial portion of the lower edge of the flag's width and/or length for receiving a flag pole thereby allowing the flag to swivel about the pole. In order to prevent the flag from sliding down the flag pole, a grommet having an internal elastomeric O-ring is positioned on the pole adjacent the inward edge of the flag. The O-ring preferably has an interior diameter slightly less than the exterior diameter of the pole such that the O-ring engages the flag pole in a tight frictional fit, but is slidable along the length of the flag pole. Additionally, the lower edge of the flag is provided with a smaller loop that receives an elongated dowel member that maintains the lower edge in a straight manner and adds weight to the lower edge.
