US Patent 12087182 Flag raising device

A flag raising device for raising a flag up a pole using a line that can be conveniently decoupled from the pole includes a top pulley rotatably coupled to a pole proximate a top end of the pole. A line is positioned to define a loop, the line frictionally engaging the top pulley and a bottom pulley and is movable about the loop. A hook is coupled to the pole proximate a bottom end of the pole. An attachment member is coupled to the bottom pulley and securable to the hook. A pair of clips is coupled to the line and is positioned to be configured to raise and lower the flag to a flying position and a servicing position respectively when the line moves about the loop.
