Abstract
A reusable safety warning device. A plurality of reflective strips of flexible material are adapted to protrude outwardly from an end of an elongate cylindrical body member and droop down to form a pompon-like reflector. A battery-powered light source is disposed within the reflector to radiate light which is reflected off of the flexible strips so that the device resembles a burning incendiary flare. Means are provided for retracting the reflective strips and light source inside the elongate body for storage of the device, and the device is provided with a pair of retractable legs for supporting the reflector end of the body above a surface when in use.
Claims9
A reusable safety warning device, comprising an elongate tubular body member, a plurality of thin, streamer-like, flexible shiny strips of glossy reflective material attached to said body member and adapted to protrude longitudinally outward from one end thereof for a first portion of their respective lengths, diverge from one another in a plurality of directions for a second portion of their respective lengths and then droop at their protruding ends under the force of gravity so as to produce a pompon-like array of said strips, and means partially disposed within said body member for retracting said flexible strips into said body member.
