ABSTRACT:
A triagnular folding reflective flare is disclosed, of the type having a reflective lower member and two reflective side members which are connected together for relative movement between a triangular erected position and a folded position with the side members compactly folded relative to the lower member. A heavy base is movably connected to the lower member for movement between folded and unfolded positions. The base comprises a hollow member with a heavy material retained therein. The weight of the heavy material enhances the stability of the flare. The heavy material is preferably a highly economical material having considerable weight, such as concrete. However, the heavy material may comprise any suitable heavy aggregate mixed with any suitable binder, such as Portland cement, any other suitable mineral cement, an epoxy plastic or various other suitable plastic materials. The hollow member of the base may comprise two channel-shaped half-shells joined together to form a hollow tube for retaining the heavy material. The hollow member may also comprise a channel-shaped member having a cover for retaining the heavy material. If desired, the hollow member may comprise a channel-shaped member having an inwardly projecting flange or the like for interlocking with the heavy material.
