Abstract
This invention provides a collapsible cone comprising a series of concentric rings that can be pulled up from the center and “snapped” ring by ring into place thus forming a cone shape. In An embodiment, each ring has a groove circumnavigating its top and a ridge circumnavigating its bottom so the ridge of one ring snaps into the groove of the next ring, lending stability to the device when erected.
Claims6
A collapsible cone device comprising a series of concentric rings of decreasing circumference situated in a weighted base ring so that the cone can be pulled up from the center and the rings snapped into place, thereby forming a cone.
A collapsible cone device comprising a single piece of cone-shaped plastic material having alternating rings of thick and think material, so the cone collapses on itself when pushed down, and snaps into place when pulled up.
