Abstract

A truncated traffic cone comprising of a base, cone body, reflective jacket / or solar powered reflective jacket d and light attachment. The light and cone are married together relative to one another using various appropriate fittings, fixings and mouldings. The housing assembly of the light consists of a reflector, light sensor, bulb, power source, wiring and all necessary electrical connections.

Description

Luminous cone This invention relates to roads, highways, and motorways but could be used in other areas that traffic cones are used in. The luminous cone comprises of a light section and truncated cone section with base which when fixed together would be made removable and would resemble a standard size conventional traffic cone capable of being stacked for storage and transportation. The light section and cone section would be fixed together by the use of an inner flange positioned on top of the cone section thus enabling various fittings, fixtures and mouldings to be fitted, these would alter due to material preference and the method of manufacture, customer requirements and size.
A fluorescent jacket would be used on all cones and some would power the light by using solar powered cells set inside the jacket. The light will also contain a light sensor to activate and deactivate the light automatically day and night. The other cones would be powered by battery Accordingly, there is a recognised need for a cone and for a light so I have simply combined them in an attempt to satisfy the need for a safer, easier, self sufficient space saving devises A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with references to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 showing a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the cone and light with fixings.
Figure 2 showing the side view of the cone with the light in the attached position Figure 3 showing the traditional traffic cone made shorter/truncated to take the height of the light.
Figure 4 showing the traffic cone light with plastic reflector and battery housing, light sensor, fixing point, on/off switch and gripper recess.
Figure 5 showing a strengthening disc with countersunk holes which fastens on top of the flange of the cone.
Figure 6 A fixing point which fits underneath the flange with holes ready for the light to fit in it.
Like reference indicators refer to like parts throughout all the drawings.

As shown in figure 3 (j) plastic flange for fixing plates to be connected to.
As shown in figure 4 (a) outer casing reflector.
As shown in figure 4 (b) a battery housing coloured to match the cone.
As shown in figure 4 (c) finger grip recesses helping to assemble and disassemble the light.
As shown in figure 4 (f) a hole for activating/deactivating the cone.
As shown in figure 4 (h) threaded fixing.
As shown in figure 5 (g) a circular fixing disk to be secured on the top of the cone to the flange.
As shown in figure 5 (k) a multitude of countersunk holes.
As shown in figure 6 (i) under flange fixing.
As shown in figure 6 (m) a multitude of holes for fixing.

Claims (2)

  1. Claims 1 The light section and truncated cone with base section which when attached appropriately together is made removable and would resemble any standard size conventional conical traffic cone capable of being stacked for storage and transportation, the light section and cone section would be fixed together by the use of an inner flange positioned on top of the cone section thus enabling a multitude of various fittings, fixtures and mouldings to be appropriately fitted, these would alter due to material preference, method of manufacture, customer requirements and size.
  2. 2 A traffic cone jacket as claimed in claim I which contains solar cells, fixings and fittings providing an alternative power source for the luminous cone.
