Benefits achieved

Plastic ball with the inscription "Breakdown Assistance" which has lighting and a possibility to attach information cards about the type of breakdown and which can be attached to the car roof using an insertable stand.

The breakdown devices required by law for all motor vehicles, such as warning triangles and hazard lights on the vehicle, only provide information that the broken-down vehicle has broken down and serve as a warning to following traffic.

Vehicles that have broken down for longer than absolutely necessary often cause long traffic jams on our roads. These vehicles could often be helped quickly by drivers following behind if a uniformly distributed information symbol would indicate the type of breakdown and if the symbol was also used to ask the following drivers for help.

This uniform information symbol is described in the protection claim.

This invention means that vehicles that often break down no longer have to wait for the often overburdened breakdown services to arrive, as a uniform information symbol has been created that informs every following driver about the type of breakdown in detail and enables them to immediately decide whether or not they can provide assistance. The breakdown hip ball can be easily stowed in any vehicle and, if the breakdown information cards and stand are not attached, can also be used as a normal ball for playing during breaks to loosen up the mood. Furthermore, the illuminated stand can also be used as a normal assembly light or emergency light without the breakdown assistance ball attached.

Further design

The breakdown assistance ball can also serve as an advertising medium for breakdown services and automobile clubs.
