ABSTRACT:
A staff structure with a flag elevating device includes an I-shaped inner fitting tube, an outer fitting tube, a hanging pole carrying a flag, a staff; and a halyard. The inner fitting tube has upper and lower projecting portions at upper and lower ends thereof. The projecting portions are provided with symmetrical hook ears and through holes on one side thereof. The inner fitting tube is enclosed by the outer fitting tube. Upper and lower ends of the outer fitting tube are provided with clamp rings for holding the hanging pole. After the inner fitting tube is fitted to the staff, the halyard is tied to the hook ears of the inner fitting tube and passed round a pulley at a top end of the staff. Pulling of the halyard causes the flag to be hoisted or lowered. The outer fitting tube is capable of turning with respect to the inner fitting tube to prevent the flag from getting entangled on the staff.
