Standfasts, foldable signal pyramid. . ".. _

The innovation concerns a transportable signal pyramid like her. For example, for securing stalled motor vehicles.: witness is used. Warning triangles are already used for this. different embodiments and different materials the most diverse constructions «the known constructions however, there are defects. They are either too bulky and unwieldy, or do not have sufficient stability at ÜJind, or they are not suitable for long periods of use because they are made of metal Corridor very easily and often by pushing their !! camouflage colors lose, while plastic structures are vulnerable. . "-

The expressions "signal", "sign" and "warning sign" used up to now and later can also contain information, company or advertising symbols. . '-. ■ -. The innovation is based on the task of creating a signal that is visible from all sides, which is also steadfast in the case of a high infestation of Ulind that is corrosion-resistant, and that a little when not in use Required space. The solution to this task is as follows. ~

Three preferably isosceles triangles form a pyramid united. The connecting edges of the triangles are supported by three supports stiffened, which protrude from under the pyramid and serve as feet. In

. so "'■■ - ν _ - ■■ -. - ■

at the top of the ¹ pyramid they are; fastened together so that they can be put together when "<not in use ·, whereby each of the faces of the three triangles is folded together. \ \. \."\; Fig. 1 shows a simple embodiment, half; in longitudinal section, \ in half in view. Figure 2 shows the plan view. In figure; 1 is; the - i left half a section corresponding to the line A - % in Figure. 2j the i right half of a view in direction B; the figure Zi "-. \ Ί ■ '-'■; In both figures B, S ¹ ,, 8", the three _{surfaces united to form a p:} yramid, are each with the; Lettering = for example a right edge 10; around a white surface on which there is one _; more vertical! schiuairzer "-Strich Λ ibefinäet. The totality of the three surfaces · can consist of a StiJGk; which was achieved by gluing together, and which was streaked over the" pyramid formed from the 3 supports "and then attached * '-,

Pie three supports A ₁ 4 *,; 4 "can consist of wires which are pointed at the bottom and which ^{are united with one another at the top of the 1} ! Pyramid. ■ - '. \>"■' · .; \ \ ■ \ \ When not in use, the three support wires are bent together, the three surfaces are folded around and the whole thing in one - "■ '"■'. Case stowed away. . -.,.

Figure 3 shows an improved embodiment. In it becomes, within. of the pyramid, preferably in the vertical central axis, weight 3, for example, arranged in the form of a round rod from IKl et all and at the top of the pyramid formed from the supports attached. When not in use. uierden the supports around the metal rod merged. . . "■ - ■■ -. '-

The simple one described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2 Execution already eliminates many of the deficiencies listed above. As a result of the design as a pyramid, the sign is from everyone Sides to see. .. ...

When folded, the pyramid only takes up a small volume.

The supports are preferably made of a luiederstandsbaren and corrosion-protected wire »The surfaces are preferably made of Plastic film on which the symbol, e.g. the red triangle and the black line, preferably in reflective paint strokes -_.- ./ οhen applied or printed. Sole foils are in high Grade weather-resistant and insensitive to kink fractures.

Another advantage is that an exposed triangle can easily be;

The improved; Execution according to dsr \ Fig-ur \. '3 increases the level strength of the Uiarn pyramid compared to ilJindstoß is quite considerable.

This embodiment is primarily characterized in that if ⁷ ; Weighted a hollow body made of plastic is arranged, - ~} ~ - ' the rreit cheap _; Material, for example, is filled with sand. ; . t- '

In these figures; is! at the same time aine-further verb; serüng-.; .- shows; which is; in that the device is provided with a single light. In the 'drawn! The design is this: it is arranged in a capsule; dia then the top of the pyramid, forms, ί ■ ■; ^: "■;.

In this example, the feet; not ;. designed as a point but with ^ elastic: * \ _ large-area attachments ^, which when set up; f of the device nestle against the floor. .

An embodiment of the innovation is explained with reference to Figures 4 and 5 »- '"' _:

Figure 4 is a partial view of such a pyramid; :. on average. - Figure 5 is the top view.

FIG. 4 shows in the right half a triangle according to the innovation, as you can see when it is set up and you are looking at a surface from the front. One sees an essentially triangular surface which is inclined backwards and on which, for example, the colors of the traffic sign "Caution, general source of danger" are applied in the colors red and black. The two upward-facing edges of this triangular cloth are formed by coated steel struts with plastic or rubber feet on their underside. The lower edge of this triangle is formed by stretching the film on which the triangle is printed between the struts. The 3rd strut or the 3rd foot coincides with the center line and is spatially offset to the rear. The tip of the triangle side and '·, the entire ^ UJarnpyramid is formed by a plastic cap, the i, n of the illustrated embodiment made of translucent. Plastic materials can be, and can be illuminated from the inside. \ . ν. ■ \ \ ; ■, In'i the left! Half; FIG. 4 shows the pyramid in section; characterized ;, and!

It is essential that the central drum is installed when: the pyramid does not touch the ground.

In order to make the pyramid more effective in the dark, it can also be very easily provided with its own light source after the innovation. In this case, the end cap.14 is made of translucent material that is colored in a known light color, such as yellow-orange-t-transparent. by means of a carrier plate 18, which is clamped between the end cap 14 and ring 16, an electric light bulb .20 - including socket - can be attached.
