Directional finial indicator

Claim 2

A pliable, directional, protective finial comprising an initially substantially flat, pliable sheet of material having a top and a bottom and a longitudinal axis of symmetry extending between the top and bottom, a separately distinguishable geometric shape visual indicator at the top of the pliable sheet and a pair of separately distinguishable geometric shape visual indicators at the bottom of the pliable sheet on opposite sides of the axis of symmetry, a shaft having an upper, free one end and another end adapted to be mounted to an object which is selectively movable, and means securing the pliable sheet to said one free end of the shaft and extending along the axis of symmetry thereof with the geometric shaped indicator at the top of the pliable sheet extending in one direction so as to provide front and rear indications and with the bottom of the pliable sheet wrapped around the shaft so that the bottom geometric shapes are aligned and extend perpendicularly to the geometric shape at the top of the pliable sheet to provide side indications, the width of the top of the pliable sheet having a wider dimension than the wrapped bottom and said visual indicator providing an indication of the location of the object.

Claim 3

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pliable sheet is constructed of two separate sheets of material heat sealed together around the periphery of each of the geometric shapes and around the periphery of the separate sheets.

Claim 4

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pliable sheet comprises a first full pliable sheet and a second pliable sheet secured to the first pliable sheet at the top of the first pliable sheet so as to extend over the top geometric shape.

Claim 5

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pliable sheet is a single sheet and is folded at the top to provide a double thickness at the top between which the top geometric shape is positioned.

Claim 6

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the geometric shapes are colored discs adhered to the pliable sheet.

Claim 7

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the geometric shapes are colored and are light reflective.

Claim 8

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pliable sheet is provided with impressions defining the portions thereof receiving the geometric shapes.

Claim 9

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for securing the pliable sheet to the shaft includes a slot and bead structure extending longitudinally of the axis of symmetry thereof so that the end of the shaft may be extended through the slot and into the bead.

Claim 10

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for securing the pliable sheet to the shaft includes separate bead structure secured to the pliable sheet on the axis of symmetry thereof for receiving the end of the shaft therein.

Claim 11

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for securing the pliable sheet to the shaft includes a C-shaped spring clip 18 adapted to be positioned over the sheet and shaft adjacent the bottom thereof with the finial folded over the shaft about the axis of symmetry thereof.

Claim 12

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for securing the pliable sheet to the shaft includes a non-resilient soft metal band secured to the sheet transversely of the axis of symmetry thereof adapted to be folded around the end of the shaft with the bottom of the sheet.

Claim 13

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for securing the pliable sheet to the shaft includes rivet openings extending through the center of the geometric shapes at the bottom of the sheet for receiving a rivet extending therethrough on folding of the sheet about the shaft to place the bottom geometric shapes in alignment with each other.

Claim 14

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for securing the pliable sheet to the shaft includes at least one tongue cut from one side of the bottom of the sheet and at least one corresponding slot cut in the other side of the bottom of the sheet whereby the tongue will fit within the slot on folding of the bottom of the sheet around the shaft along the axis of symmetry thereof.

Claim 15

Structure as set forth in claim 1 and further including a tip fitting over the end of the shaft to prevent piercing of the finial with the end of the shaft.

Claim 16

Structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pliable sheet is formed with a hook at the top thereof to permit hanging of the finial for sales display.

Claim 17

Structure as set forth in claim 1 and further including a slot in the pliable sheet whereby advertising literature, installation directions and the like may be placed within the finial for sales display.

Claim 18

A pliable, directional, protective finial comprising an intially substantially flat composite pliable sheet of material having a top and a bottom and a longitudinal axis of symmetry extending between the top and bottom which composite pliable sheet is constructed of two separate sheets of material the first of which is a whole pliable sheet and the second of which is a partial pliable sheet positioned in contact with the first pliable sheet at the top of the first pliable sheet, a separately distinguishable geometric shape visual indicator at the top of the composite pliable sheet and a pair of separately distinguishable geometric shape visual indicators at the bottom of the composite pliable sheet on opposite sides of the axis of symmetry thereof, said first pliable sheet and second pliable sheet being heat sealed together around the periphery of the geometric shape visual indicator at the top of the composite pliable sheet and about the periphery of the second, pliable sheet, a shaft having an upper free one end and another end adapted to be mounted to an object which is selectively movable and means for securing the composite pliable sheet to said one free end of the shaft and extending along the axis of symmetry thereof with the geometric shaped indicator at the top of the composite pliable sheet extending in one direction so as to provide front and rear indications and with the bottom of the composite pliable sheet wrapped around the shaft so that the bottom geometric shapes are aligned and extend perpendicularly to the geometric shape at the top of the composite pliable sheet to provide side indications, the width of the top of the pliable sheet having a wider dimension than the wrapped bottom and said visual indicator providing an indication of the location of the object.

Claim 19

A pliable, directional, protective finial comprising an intially substantially flat composite pliable sheet of material having a top and a bottom and a longitudinal axis of symmetry extending between the top and bottom which composite pliable sheet is constructed of two separate sheets of material the first of which is a whole pliable sheet and the second of which is a partial pliable sheet positioned in contact with the first pliable sheet at the top of the first pliable sheet, a separately distinguishable geometric shape visual indicator at the top of the composite pliable sheet and a pair of separately distinguishable geometric shape visual indicators at the bottom of the composite pliable sheet on opposite sides of the axis of symmetry thereof, said first pliable sheet and second pliable sheet being heat sealed together around the periphery of the geometric shape visual indicator at the top of the composite pliable sheet and about the periphery of the second, pliable sheet, a shaft having an upper free one end and another end adapted to be mounted to an object which is selectively movable and means for securing the composite pliable sheet to said one free end of the shaft and extending along the axis of symmetry thereof with the geometric shaped indicator at the top of the composite pliable sheet extending in one direction so as to provide front and rear indications and with the bottom of the composite pliable sheet wrapped around the shaft so that the bottom geometric shapes are aligned and extend perpendicularly to the geometric shape at the top of the composite pliable sheet to provide side indications, the width of the top of the pliable sheet having a wider dimension than the wrapped bottom and said visual indicator providing an indication of the location of the object.
