The present invention is directed to a garment clamping device for automobile
antennas upon which a flag or banner may be secured and displayed. The clamping
device comprises two generally rectangular shaped halves which are joined together
by a hinge strap mechanism. Each half has at least one aperture and at least one
corresponding mounting stud for clamping the two halves around an automobile antenna.
Further, each half has at least one barb and at least one corresponding aperture
located on the other half for holding and supporting a display flag after the apparatus
is clamped around the antenna. Extending from one half is a cap for securing the
apparatus atop the antenna. In operation, the device is positioned around an antenna
and the mounting stud, barbs and respective apertures are engaged. Once engaged,
the hinge straps form a cavity wherein the antenna is displaced. The cap of the
device is positioned so that it rests upon the antenna ball located atop the antenna
thereby keeping the clamp in a visibly appealing position. In certain embodiments,
additional support is provided by a tape strip or other adhesive. In certain other
embodiments, an attachment means for attaching the device to a bicycle or motor
bike is provided. The attachment means comprises an elongated shaft and a second
clamping device.
