ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for visually indicating to a driver of a towing vehicle the deflection of a pneumatic tire on the towed vehicle. A base member is mounted to the body of the towed vehicle in the proximity of the tire. A spring arm having a rotatable signal device of contracting colors is pivotally attached at one end to the base. A clip for releasably retaining the spring arm in a downward position in close proximity to the surface of the roadway is also attached to the base. Upon deflection of the tire the tip of the spring arm contacts the surface of the roadway which causes the spring arm to be released from the clip and move into a signaling position, extending outwardly from the towed vehicle and perpendicular to the direction of travel.
