ABSTRACT:
A car-used distress sign which is normally in a horizontally linear pattern and can be immediately changed into a triangular pattern by the driver in case the car breaks down without getting out of the car. The distress sign includes a base, a left warning member, a central warning member and a right warning member. The base is disposed with two pivot seats at two ends. A latch hook and a first resilient member are pivotally connected with each pivot seat. Two electromagnetic pulling members are disposed on the base. The latch hooks are connected with the pulling members by driving strings. The left and right warning members are disposed with latch pins for engaging with the latch hooks. A second resilient member is disposed on the central warning member and two pairs of third resilient members are disposed at two ends of the base. Two pushing blocks are disposed at two ends of the second resilient member to pivotally connect with the left and right warning members respectively. The electromagnetic pulling members are able to pull the driving strings inward so as to disengage the latch hooks from the latch pins. At this time, the second resilient member pushes the pushing blocks as well as the left and right warning members outward. Meanwhile, the third resilient members pivotally push the left and right warning members, so that the left and right warning members together with the central warning member form a triangular distress sign.
