ABSTRACT:
The disclosed triangular folding reflective marker comprises a reflective base member and a pair of reflective side members which are pivotally connected to opposite ends of the base member and are swingable between folded positions, adjacent the base member, and inclined erected positions, in which the side members and the base member form an upright triangular reflective warning device, for use in warning motorists of the presence of a disabled automobile or other vehicle. Latching elements are provided to fasten the upper ends of the side members together in their erected positions. Such latching elements may comprise latching pins projecting laterally from flanges on the side members, such flanges being adapted to overlap. Portions of the flanges may be formed with latching slots adapted to receive the latching pin elements with a detent action. The side members may be formed with end elements which are adapted to project beyond the edges of the opposite side members when they are erected. By applying a squeezing force between the end elements, it is easy to disconnect the latching elements. The end elements may also cooperate with detent elements on the base member to detain the side members in their folded positions.
