Abstract
Flag holders that are simple in design and relatively inexpensive to manufacture are disclosed. These flag holders secure flag arms to reinforcing battens of highway signs without unnecessary bulk, weight, and complexity. A flag holder includes a flag arm bracket having a generally U-shaped body with two opposing edges. The U-shaped body wraps around a frame member, such as a reinforcing batten, of the highway sign, to thereby align the flag arm bracket with the frame member. An aperture in the flag arm bracket accommodates a shaft, such as a bolt. The shaft passes through both the aperture of the flag arm bracket and also through an aperture in the frame member of the highway sign. The bolt secures the flag arm bracket to the frame member. The flag arm bracket further includes an attachment portion for attaching at least one flag arm to the flag arm bracket.
