Abstract
A device and assembly for holding emergency flares stationary under adverse conditions. The instant flare base comprises a planar cleated base member having apertures disposed therein, said apertures being capable of receiving tubular flare supporting members. The apertures of one flare base may be aligned sequentially with tubular members on other of said flare bases to comprise a compact stackable assembly.
Claims18
A flare base comprising a base member having a planar portion substantially parallel with a surface upon which said base member rests, said base member having at least one corner tilted downwardly to form a pointed cleat extending below said planar portion of said base member, said base member having disposed therein one or more apertures, at least one of said apertures having an outwardly projecting tubular member disposed therein, said tubular member adapted to receive a flare.
A flare base assembly comprising a predetermined number of stackable planar base members, said base members having at least two apertures which are spaced apart, at least one of said apertures on each base member having an outwardly projecting tubular member disposed therein, said tubular member adapted to receive a flare, at least one other of said apertures being open, said apertures adapted to be aligned with corresponding apertures on other of said base members, said tubular member adpated to be inserted through the aligned apertures of each other base member which do not have an outwardly projecting tubular member disposed therein.
A flare base assembly comprising a predetermined number of stackable planar base members, said base members having at least two apertures which are spaced apart, at least one of said apertures on each base member having an outwardly projecting tubular member disposed therein, said tubular member adapted to receive a flare, said apertures adapted to be aligned with corresponding apertures on other of said base members, said tubular members adapted to be inserted through the aligned apertures of each other base member which do not have an outwardly projecting tubular member disposed therein, said base members adapted to be aligned such that a majority portion of each base member covers a majority portion of a corresponding adjacent base member.
