The invention relates to a warning triangle to be carried in motor vehicles, consisting of three front reflective strips, which contain a warning sign carrier in the triangle between them and are mounted on a frame with legs that can be pivoted into the plane of the triangle.

As is well known, a warning triangle must be carried in the motor vehicle in order to prevent it from being set up in the event of a breakdown or an accident of the triangle to be able to make other road users aware of the danger zone. The warning triangles are generally collapsible and are carried in a quiver when folded. The disadvantage of this collapsible triangle is that in the case of a Breakdown or an accident removed from the quiver and unfolded and the flexible warning sign holder must be opened before you can Can set up a warning triangle. This takes a considerable amount of time. It is therefore already known to have a rigid one that is ready for installation in the vehicle Carry a warning triangle. This is generally done mechanically, e.g. by means of tabs and a twist lock on the inside of the trunk lid held. This warning triangle can easily be set up on the road after removing it from its holder and pivoting its frame legs. The disadvantage here, however, is that a holder adapted to the triangle must be present on a vehicle interior wall, in particular in the trunk lid. Such a bracket is generally absent and cannot be retrofitted either. In most In some cases, the collapsible warning triangle is carried along and the inconveniences associated with its use are accepted taken.

The invention has for its object to provide a warning triangle which can be carried in ¹ aufstellbereit motor vehicle, without the need for a special mount or substantial space is required. In particular, a warning triangle is to be created that can be carried in practically all types of motor vehicle, including trucks, ready for installation. Specifically, the car should be carried on the inside of the trunk lid regardless of the

respective shape of the flap be possible. §J

This object is achieved according to the invention in the warning triangle t mentioned at the beginning in that the reflective. Lasts of the * triangle, permanent magnets are attached to the rear of the vehicle to hold the triangle in place. The interior wall of the vehicle must naturally consist of sheet steel, which is generally the case. In passenger cars, the triangle is generally attached to the inside of the trunk lid. The magnets must be so strong that I, Delta also will adhere the flap when throwing. In the inventiveness & proper warning triangle thus a particular mechanical support is eliminated.

According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, a magnet is arranged at each of the three corners of the warning triangle. The three-point attachment facilitates attachment to curved surfaces. When the magnets are arranged at the corners, the holding force mainly acts at a small distance from the relatively heavy frame , so that the tearing moments caused by the frame weight when the trunk flap slams or when the roadway hits the road cannot overcome the magnetic adhesive forces.

According to the preferred embodiment, the magnets are also ai> the bars movably, in particular pivotably mounted. This movable mounting allows the magnets to adjust to the respective inclination set the vehicle wall, which is generally more or less curved. The movable attachment can for example by a ball joint or by means of a rubber bolt or a coil spring. In this way the warning triangle can be different curved walls are attached, i.e. when attaching the warning triangle you are neither on a specific point nor on a specific one Vehicle type specified.

The magnets are preferably designed in the form of discs and housed in metal frames. The magnetic disks can, for example be cylindrical with a diameter of 42 mm, for example and a height of e.g. 8 mm. It is important to ensure that the magnetic disks do not protrude beyond the outline of the triangle and thereby increase the flow resistance of the triangle. The disc-shaped training the magnet ensures the attachment of the triangle at a short distance from the vehicle interior wall, so that the space required for this is small.

Furthermore, it is provided according to the preferred embodiment that the magnets or their sockets are kept at a distance from the plastic strips of the triangle by a layer of air. Since the body panel or the trunk lid and thus also the adhering magnets ^{can reach temperatures of up to 90 °} C. in strong sunlight, the provided air layer provides the thermal insulation of the strips of the triangle made of polystyrene , for example, against the flow of heat from the

Body improved.

In the warning triangle according to the invention, the three LeistDi generally rigidly connected, i.e. the triangle is ready to set up and can be set up after removing the adhesive parts and swiveling out the legs. The warning triangle according to the invention can also be in the usual Way to be collapsible. It can then either be folded up in a quiver or ready to be set up on an interior wall of the vehicle carry it with you.

The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it

FIG. 1 shows the rear view of an embodiment of the warning triangle according to the invention; and

FIG. 2 shows a section along the line H-II in FIG. 1.

According to FIG. 1, the warning triangle consists of three plastic strips 1 of equal length, rigidly connected at their ends by rivet bolts to form a triangle, on which a plastic film 2 is stretched on the rear that bears the black warning bar on the front. At the corners A flat magnet 3 is arranged on the rear of the triangle. The magnates 3 are embedded in light metal mounts 4, which can be pivoted through ball joints 5 in a limited spatial angle, cf. Figure 2.

The plastic strips 1, which contain a reflective insert 7 on the front, are rigidly connected at the corners by means of rivet bolts 6. At the two lower corners of the warning triangle are between the Bars 1 resilient holder 8 attached through which the triangle on the upper rail of the steel frame 9 is attached. In the drawing is the lower rail of the frame 9 is pivoted into the plane of the triangle. The triangle can be attached to a sheet steel wall, e.g. on the inside the trunk lid, with certain curvatures of the wall being compensated for by the pivotable magnets 3. From Figure 2 it can also be seen that to reduce the heat conduction from the adhesive parts to the plastic strips 1 of the magnet 3 predominantly by a Air layer 10 is separated from the strips 1.

The invention is not restricted to the embodiment shown. Instead of the magnetic disks, bar magnets can also be used, the arrangement of the magnets on the rear side can vary, the ball joint can be replaced by elastic means, e.g. rubber bolts or coil springs, or the magnets can also be rigidly attached attached to the triangle.
