Electric road flare

An electric road flare kit, comprising:

• a plurality of electric road flares, each flare comprising:
• a top edge, a bottom edge, two opposite side edges, an upper planar surface, and an opposite under planar surface, said edges and surfaces defining a flare interior, wherein said upper and under surfaces each have an annular central transparent area;
• wherein said flare interior contains two generally annular, concave reflectors, centrally located, each reflector opening onto a said surface central transparent area;
• wherein each said reflector has a light emitting diode (LED) positioned at a reflector vertex;
• wherein said LEDs are electrically connected to a flasher circuit within said flare interior, said flasher circuit adapted to pulse the LEDs at a predetermined rate, said LEDs and flasher circuit being electrically connected through a switch at the flare bottom edge to a rechargeable battery located within said flare interior;
• wherein the battery also has two leads connected to two external metal elements attached externally to the flare bottom edge, said external metal elements providing means for externally charging the battery;
• wherein the flare interior also contains two parallel, metallic rods, parallel to and near to said flare opposite side edges, said metallic rods provide means for flare retrieval by a magnetic pick-up tool;
• a case for holding said plurality of electric road flares, said case being generally rectangular with a pivotal, lid top, a bottom, a rear side, a front side, two opposite sides interconnecting said front and rear sides, said top, bottom and sides defining a case interior, said case front side having a generally rectangular aperture formed therein, said front aperture extending from opposite side to opposite side, near to the bottom toward the top a predetermined distance;
• wherein said case interior has two parallel conductive strips along one of said opposite sides, extending from near the case bottom toward the case top, each of said conductive strips having an electrical lead attached thereto and extending through an aperture in the case rear side;
• wherein said case interior has a switch activation strip along the same side as the conductive strips, said switch activation strip being located between said conductive strips and extending from near said case bottom a predetermined distance toward the case top;
• wherein the case pivotal top has a spring attached thereto, said spring extending downward into the case interior;
• said spring terminating in a flat element flat element, said case top having a latch mechanism to hold the top lid in closed position;
• wherein said case interior has two, elongated parallel rotating elements contained therein near to the case bottom, said rotating elements each having a longitudinal axis extending from case side to case side, each said rotating element longitudinal axis being parallel to the case front and rear sides;
• wherein said case is adapted to hold a plurality of electric road flares within the case interior resting on said rotating elements and held in position by the lid flat element, wherein an electric road flare at a bottom of the stacked flares is adjacent the front side aperture.
