Abstract
A set of ring shaped flag holders which surround a flag pole used to attach a flag to a flag rope. The flag eyelets rest over the rings and the flag is able to rotate around substantially the entire diameter of the pole without rubbing on it or wrapping around it. The flag is held close to the pole by the rings while it is moved up or down the pole or is hanging. Attaching the top flag holder is accomplished by slipping the ring through a simple loop configuration in the rope and pulling the rope tight forming an attractive and secure knot. Attaching the bottom flag holder is accomplished by simply slipping a slot in the ring over the rope. Attachment and removal of the flag is accomplished by hooks and eyes provided at opposite ends of the rings. When the eyes are engaged over the hooks the flag is locked on the rings; when it is unlocked the flag will easily slip off the rings. Construction of the rings is from a one piece wire form with no parts to stick or wear out.
