ABSTRACT:
A self-contained hazard marker which is easily deployed and highly visible. The hazard marker utilized an elevated collapsible illumination device which utilizes LEDs mounted to a flexible printed circuit board in a fashion that allows the circuit board to be formed into a tubular shape with the LEDs on the outer surface of the tube in a fashion that disperses the light in a 360 degree pattern. These LEDs can be illuminated in various patterns thereby producing various effects. They can produce a rotating light effect, a blinking light effect, a strobe effect and a simulated flare. The elevated illumination device is also collapsible into the body (protection chamber) of the marker in the event a vehicle is driven over the marker. The marker has a ramp shape to it that starts at ground level and extends to the top of the unit. This shape inherently prevents the unit from lateral movement when impacted. The unit also contains deployable securing devices which also prevent the marker from being moved horizontally from its operative position.
