Safety sign device with dual signs and related methods

A safety sign device for a vehicle, the safety sign device comprising:

• a first sign having proximal and distal ends;
• a first hinge being coupled to the proximal end of said first sign, said first hinge being coupled to a side of the vehicle;
• a second hinge being coupled to the distal end of said first sign;
• a second sign having a medial portion coupled to said second hinge;
• an arm coupled between said second sign and the side of the vehicle and configured to extend and retract said first and second signs between a retracted position and an extended position;
• said first and second signs being transverse to each other in the extended position, and being flat against the side of the vehicle in the retracted position;
• a first flexible arm coupled to said first sign and comprising
• an elongate housing,
• a plurality of visual indicators carried by said elongate housing and configured to be activated when said first and second signs are in the extended position, and
• an elastic base coupled between said elongate housing and said first sign, said first flexible arm being substantially parallel to said first sign;
• and
• a motor configured to toggle said first and second signs between the extended and retracted positions.

A method for making a safety sign device for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• coupling a first hinge to a proximal end of a first sign, the first hinge being coupled to a side of the vehicle;
• coupling a second hinge to a distal end of the first sign;
• coupling a medial portion of a second sign to the second hinge;
• coupling an arm between the second sign and the side of the vehicle, the arm configured to extend and retract the first and second signs between a retracted position and an extended position;
• the first and second signs being transverse to each other in the extended position, and being flat against the side of the vehicle in the retracted position;
• and
• coupling a first flexible arm to the first sign and comprising an elongate housing, and a plurality of visual indicators carried by the elongate housing, the first flexible arm being substantially parallel to the first sign.
