Removable warning triangle for vehicles

Abstract

Abstract 1. A warning triangle capable of being carried in a motor vehicle for use in protecting road traffic against stopping or stationary vehicles, which when oriented point upwards is fixed in the end regions of one of its three equal length sides to a flat bar (10) with ends bent downwards to form a pair of supporting feet (13) and which is provided for support purposes with a second flat bar (11) with ends bent downwards to form a pair of supporting feet (13) and rotatably mounted on the first flat bar, the second bar in its inwardly pivoted end position being accommodated under the first flat bar and in the outwardly pivoted end position limited by a stop (18) forming with the first flat bar (10) a cross shaped stand, characterised in that the two flat bars (10, 11) are non-rigidly thin and resilient in construction, the halves of the first flat bar (10) between the pivot point (14) for the second flat bar (11) and the respective fixing points (15) for the warning triangle being arranged as torsion springs and the halves of the second flat bar (11) being arranged as leaf springs for converting wind acting on the face of and deflecting the warning triangle into pressure on the supporting feet.
