ABSTRACT:
Self-opening and closing flag material (20) is mounted on a largest flagpole element (34) of a telescoping flagpole and this element can be extended on a smaller element from an elongated compartment (14) of a motor vehicle (10) upon depression of a switch (50) from within the motor vehicle for signalling others of distress. The automatically-deployed flag material is attached to a spar (18a, 18b) which is hingedly attached to the largest flagpole element and the flexible flag material is connected between the largest flagpole element and the spar. When the spar is moved out of the elongated compartment it is biased to hinge away from the largest flagpole element, thereby expanding the flexible flag material into the shape of a V. When the spar is moved into the elongated compartment, it is automatically hinged to close the flexible material against the largest flagpole element.
