ABSTRACT:
A storage container for flares in combination with an extendable support structure to elevate the burning flares above the road bed. The storage container and the support structure are mounted on a heavy base. The extendable support structure has flare holders at the top to securely hold the burning flares and pivoted connections so the structure can be folded down for transport. Plungers cooperate with the flare holders to eject any residue so the spent flare can easily and quickly be replaced without having to wait for cooling or to tip the device over to accomplish the removal of the residue. Locking means retains the structure in the extended orientation. A carrying handle affixed to the front of the storage container enables easy transport and gaskets on the inside of the cover of the storage container prevent moisture from entering and rendering the flares ineffective. The storage container can hold multiple flares. The entire device is fireproof and of sufficient weight to prevent its being upset during use. Reflective tape on the support structure increases the visibility of the device.
