Hinged warning triangle

Warning triangles in the sense of the innovation are the international regulations for warning signs replicated boards that can be set up on the roadway, which the driver of the vehicle carries with him in order to be able to use them if necessary, ZoB. when repairing damage to the parked Vehicle so far away from him that others, especially on the same side of the street driving road users become aware of the parked vehicle in good time because of the repair work, tire change or the like. often more Required space than normally parked vehicles.

Since warning triangles are only used in the emergencies indicated above, for example, they should be used in the

Transport in the vehicle, ζ.B, in the trunk, poss take up little space »33 Many versions of warning triangles have become known that can be used together for this purpose or are set up to be hinged. However, these generally do not meet another requirement for the usefulness of such Warning triangles made requirement, which consists of a minimum stability in the erected state *

It now concerns a warning triangle of the collapsible type, consisting of two by separation triangular halves created along the height, the {each at their tips and the vertical foot point below with pegs in a substantially triangular and two-legged bracket that gives off the stand are pivoted and that takes up little space during transport in the vehicle, but one when in use has sufficient stability to prevent the strong wind or the wind from passing vehicles to be knocked over.

This requirement is in contrast to the known one simple and inexpensive production of such warning triangles made of plastic, as they are inherently light.

But to a back pressure of about 20 kg / m, that is, on the triangular face converted kg a back pressure of about 3-5, to withstand a weight must the warning triangle have kg in the order of 5 »It will be H _a nd, that such a heavy warning triangle can be found in the usual and economically advantageous way

Plastic cannot be produced, whyjboch as a Another disadvantage is that the transport costs from Place of manufacture for the seller that of the light warning triangles significantly exceed and adversely affect the Price must have an impact.

The price increase is therefore based on the task of finding a way in a similar way as "previously light warning triangles made of plastic and transported to the seller, but the seller or the buyer of this per se easy warning triangle in a simple manner to the required Can bring weight. -_ '■ ~ _-

According to the innovation, this object is fundamentally achieved in that the triangular halves are hollow bodies designed and each with a sealable filler opening for a liquid or solid filling material that increases the weight of the warning triangle, e.g. water, sand, lia chips, meat loaf or the like ♦, are provided »

By designing the triangular halves as a hollow body there is a simple way of providing depressions or cavities in which the distance can be folded in or pushed in, the supports acting on the ground.

Finally, the innovation affects one more thing in particular practical pivot bearing of the two hollow triangular halves, which allow easy unfolding in operational

position and secure locking in this position guaranteed. ;

The goal parts of the innovation are therefore in the simple one and inexpensive manufacture from plastic material and in the light shipping weight, but still the weight required for stability before use simply by pulling the hollow part of the warning triangle can be achieved with heavy contents »In addition, the new warning triangles are light and Can be accommodated in a space-saving manner, functionally reliable, have an attractive appearance and are weather-resistant.

The innovation is shown below using an example described in more detail with reference to the drawing * Bs represent:

The new warning triangle consists of the two triangular halves designed as hollow bodies 1 and 2, the bracket 3 and -; j.e a support 4 for the triangular halves. The two tendons 5 and β of the bracket 3 are through a Stiffening rib 7 connected

Each triangular half is provided with a filling opening 8 for the weighting material, which after filling, for example, by means of a stopper or the like. can be closed. The stopper is preferably glued in by means of an adhesive, so that the filling opening remains securely closed. Any liquid or fine-grained material with a sufficiently high specific weight can serve as a filler. In general, water, sand, iron filings or lead shot are chosen for this, which are usually easy to obtain. The filling can either be done by the seller or the user, i.e. only when the triangle is made ready for use, which, as already mentioned, leads to considerable and Increasing freight costs between producer and seller can be avoided. Under certain circumstances it can also be advantageous _: not to fill the triangular halves 1 and 2 completely, i.e. up to the filling opening 8, but only half or two or thirds, as this means that the center of gravity of the contact surface for the find is further down, which can lead to an increase in stability despite the reduced weight *

By forming the triangle halves 1 and 2 as a hollow body, it is particularly well possible to

side hats 9, which are in further hats 10 continue in the back of the triangle halves * in this Grooves, the supports 4 can be folded in if that Warning triangle not in use raid is collapsed.

Me supports 4 are i-shaped with a longer leg 11 and a shorter leg 12 on which free end projecting pin 13 is provided and in recesses 14 in the lint erf pool of the pulp halves rotatable are stored. The depressions 14, which are open at the bottom, are from Cover plate 15 covered after the insertion of the Supports 4 can be glued over the recesses 14 and prevent the supports from falling out *

The triangle halves T and 2 point at their top Pin 16 and pin 17 on its underside, by means of which they are pivotably connected to the bracket 3, for this purpose the bracket 3 is at its upper end with a thickening 18 and at its lower end with a Hasty piece 19 provided, which are penetrated by the pin 16 and 17 associated holes.

As already said, the innovation also sees one special simple and effective way to quickly move the warning triangle from the folded position into the To bring the operating position · To do this, at the free end of the Leg 6, the aforementioned hasty piece 19 is provided, which consists of a base plate 20, an Iront web 21 and two extend on both sides of the leg 6 of the bracket 3

- 6 ■■ - ■

The curved webs 22 which extend and form parts of an arc of a circle exist. The "Kury.ensite.ge" have a relatively flat bevel 23 on the side facing the leg 6 of the bracket, while the sides facing the front web 21 have no bevel 24 or a bevel 24 that is much steeper in relation to the bevel 23. This is achieved that the warning triangle can be opened very simply and easily, i.e. brought into the warning position, for which only the two ^{halves of the triangle (of which the triangle half is already pivoted out in I 1} Xg. 4, while the triangle half 1 is still shown folded) by the pin 16 and 17 must rotate the axis going up to the abutment on the Prontsteg 21 * The relatively flat curve or bevel causes the free ends of the bracket 3 to be spread slightly due to its inherent elasticity, until the triangular halves between the bevel 24 and the On the other hand, the triangular halves cannot easily, for example two se are turned back into the transport position by the back pressure of the wind, as this is prevented by the steep bevel 24, which can also be a vertical step that the height of the curved webs 22 is overcome *

The pins 17 are designed to be correspondingly long, so that when the triangle halves slide over the curve

webs 22 do not protrude from their bores in the base plate 20 be pulled out. .

To increase the strength can be below the Base plate 20 a stiffening rib 25 can be provided.

The person skilled in the art would of course have a number of possibilities for variation based on the above explanations who, insofar as they achieve the same effects with equally effective means, also within the scope of the following Protection claims should be protected · This is primarily the design of the pivot bearing of the triangular halves can be modified in many ways, with the security lock dej opened warning triangle in other than can be realized in the manner described,

Even the supports can, provided you don't use them completely dispensed with, rigidly attached or during transport be accommodated in a corresponding cavity of the hollow triangle halves.
