Foldable warning triangle with stand

The invention relates to a foldable warning triangle Stand frame.

The design of the triangle forming the subject of the invention differs from known ones Warning triangles not so much in the prescribed

invariable shape of the triangle, as -by the stand, who carries the triangle.

In the case of the known triangles, the way in which the triangle is set up when in use is disadvantageous. The stand of well-known triangles consists of

one or more rigid rear rods that

splayed outwards and supported at the bottom on the ground so that they are aligned with the lower part of the triangle form its stand.

Apart from the fact that this system does not allow an exactly vertical alignment of the warning triangle, guaranteed It is also not a sufficiently secure stand, be it because sometimes the support feet are not the right one Find support on the road surface and therefore slip and the triangle overturns, as well as v / eil at in unfavorable weather conditions and especially in strong winds the triangle is easily overturned, what Gefarr means for the user and also for the approaching vehicles, because they are on an unforeseen, hit unannounced obstacle.

The object of the invention is to create a warning triangle with single or double reflective surfaces, which excludes the deficiency described, is designed to function properly and in the folded State has the smallest dimensions. In addition, it should be economical to manufacture and in each case Comply with international road traffic regulations.

These tasks are solved by a warning triangle, which essentially consists of three rectangular strip parts, whose ends are rounded and whose one long side is designed trapezoidally outward and with adjacent ones retroreflective and fluorescent elements is occupied, which adapted to the trapezoidal shape are; by end-to-end articulated connection of the strip parts to one another to form a triangular body;

! by attaching one provided with two Er.dplattechen Cross member on the other long side of the base bar part, with each end plate having a hinge point has around which a support rod can be pivoted at a predetermined angle, the ends of which are tapered, has downwardly bent feet and is about as long as the base bar part; and by providence of the articulation point at one end of the support rod in the area of one of the feet, which is when folded The triangle with the foot of the second support pole covers the opposite of the first support pole is pivotable.

For a better understanding of the invention it is explained below explained in more detail with reference to an example illustrated in the drawing. It shows:

Fig. 1 the fully folded warning triangle in front view and

2 shows a diagrammatic overall view of the fully unfolded triangle in the position of use.

The triangle consists of three substantially rectangular strip parts 1, the ends 2 of which are rounded and one long side 3 of which is shaped outwardly into a trapezoid 4. This trapezoidal shape 4 is fluorescent Layer provided, while the rest of the shape 4 parallel top of the strip part 1 reflective elements 15, which is inserted in the longitudinal direction and held in the central position by projecting holders 16 are.

: At the ends of the lower horizontal part 1 'are

I The bearings 9 * around which the support rods 10

] After the installation the triangle stands on four feet,

two of the same ham end of the strip part 1 '25 are arranged and the other two 12 are opposite to each other removed from the lower part of the triangular disc, but according to an imaginary, perpendicular to it Straight lines are aligned.

This significantly improves the stability of the triangle and completely reduces the risk of tipping over banned. There is also the possibility of supporting the triangle by pivoting only one To achieve support rod 10, in which case only three support points serve as a support.

The tips of the feet 11 and 12 enable the stand to be anchored in the ground by being in them be pushed in. This has proven itself, for example, on a blanket of snow, on wet ground or in places with an irregular surface.

The plates 7 are provided with a slot 14, the serves as a stop when unfolding the support rods 10, so that this is when the warning signal is used are always in the right position.

f lie in the folded position according to FIG

the support rods 10 and the feet 11 and 12 are aligned / at the.

When they are rotated around the hinge points 5 and 5 ', the reflective elements I5 are superimposed on the base of the inguinal cile I ¹ so that, with the support rods, they represent a compact design with little space requirement, which can be accommodated in a space-saving manner.
