Abstract
A wrap preventing flag () apparatus including a rod () extending from the upper portion () of a flagpole () in a gravity plane (P) with an attachment () securing the top edge () of a flag () to the rod (). A rod support () inter-connects the rod () and the upper portion () of the flagpole () for preventing the rod () from rotating about the pole axis (A) while allowing free rotation of the rod () under the force of gravity only in the gravity plane (P). The rod support () includes a pair of stops () for limiting rotation of the rod () in or parallel to the gravity plane (P). In the first embodiment, the rod support () extends into an especially fabricated flagpole () whereas the rod support () of the second embodiment includes a first bracket () which is disposed about an existing flagpole () for securing the rod support () to the flagpole ().
