Description

Of particular importance with a warning triangle is the firm footing. Even on a slippery road with wind and drafts of passing cars, it must stand at the edge of the road so that it is clearly visible. The Federal Motor Vehicle Office stipulates that the base side should be at least 15 to 20 cm above the road surface so that the triangle is fully covered by the headlights of the approaching motor vehicle. Due to the extremely simple construction of the stand, the protection of which is requested in claims no. L) to J) , the stability is guaranteed in a way that no comparable warning triangle on the market has.

The angle irons give the triangle a low center of gravity so that the risk of tipping over is significantly reduced. Besides With their angle of over 9o, they enable the stand rails to be attached with simple rivet joints and neither the rails nor the angle iron have any curvatures that would allow them to collapse on the smallest tree would prevent.

The stand rails are easy to set up with one hand movement and thanks to their angle of more than 9o to the angle iron, they ensure that the triangle has the largest possible footprint has. The locks on the angle iron prevent the standing surface or the angle of the rails from changing during use.

The sharpening of the ends of the stand rails causes the stability and slip resistance to be considerably increased. It increases from 15 m per second. without tips to 2k m per sec. with peaks, that is, the triangle holds a wind of 24 m per second. over the full surface without slipping or tipping over.

Collapsibility requested. True, the idea is an area To make it packable in a space-saving manner by folding it down around a central axis is nothing new. The only problem with this is this To give the surface the necessary strength when unfolded, without using a complicated locking system. The fastening with a black tab, which is also the the black line of the traffic sign is as simple as it is practical and reliable. There are in the market already a triangle that can be folded down around a longitudinal axis. However, this allows the stability to be desired, as the stand also has to be folded down. In the case of the present item, the foldability is around the The horizontal axis is particularly practical because the stand is not affected by the reduction in area.

All in all, the warning device for which utility model protection is being applied for is a practical, well thought-out, yet simple and inexpensive warning triangle that can be very useful to many drivers "

Claims (1)

'B to I s in EE-.dl ".—, ■ Protection claims and descriptions of the utility model applied for A protection claims 1.) "Warning sign with stable stand" characterized in that a known warning triangle according to Section C, Picture i of the · Appendix to the road traffic regulations with 45 cm Side length at the bottom on two angle irons that Form an angle between loo and 15o °, screwed on tsh or otherwise attached ^ so that each side of the angle iron pointing diagonally downwards. 2.) Warning triangle according to claim i), characterized in that at the ends of said angle iron each a metal rail of about ho cm length are rotatably attached to a point in such a way that they lean against the protruding part of the angle iron in the folded state When unfolded, form an angle of loo to 15o with the protruding edge of the angle iron and, if all four rails are unfolded, give the triangle a firm and secure stand, about 15 to 20 cm above the ground. The stability of the stand is ensured by the fact that, in the unfolded state, locks on the angle irons prevent them from changing the angle they occupy to the protruding side of the angle irons. 3.) Warning triangle of the type described in No. 1) and 2), characterized in that the unattached ends of the stand rails angled and sharpened so that the triangle on four points approximately perpendicular to the ground Pointed stands. k.) Warning triangle of the type described in i), 2) and 3), characterized in that the triangle is centered around an axis which is horizontal in the unfolded state and which is the height of the base side divides, can be folded so that it can be stored in a space-saving manner when folded. 5.) "Warning triangle in l) kind described to 4), characterized in that the in point. H) axis unfolded triangle by a tongue made of black flexible material described, which is rotatably mounted on a part of the triangle and the the other part of the triangle can be fastened with a push button, is fastened in such a stable way that the flap, when buttoned, simultaneously forms the black vertical line in the traffic sign image l) of the road traffic regulations. B description The subject of the registration is a warning triangle, like every motorist should carry with you. For trucks of a particular type Large in and in most European countries for all vehicles it is legal to carry l'arndreieeks required. However, the legal requirements are not fulfilled by all arn devices on the market. A type test by the Federal Motor Vehicle Office is a prerequisite for approval. The variation and construction options are tightly limited by the requirements of the office. <| £ <p an approvable triangle must have a certain size, a certain stability, a minimum height above the ground and a have a certain ability to reflect. All of these requirements fulfills the subject of the registration and is approved by the responsible body as being in accordance with the statutory provisions and given a type number. In addition to fulfilling the legal requirements, it is of decisive importance for the usability of the warning triangle that it is light, can be stowed away in a small space and can be set up in just a few simple steps. The object has these properties the application in particular and the inventions that give him this Give properties are the subject of the above claims.
