<p>The invention relates to a collapsible warning triangle for cars in particular, which warning triangle comprises a triangle provided with a reflective surface (6 to 11) and a bearer structure (12). In order that the warning triangle could be packed in a small space and would be light and steady as well as easily erectable into the operative position, the bearer structure of the triangle comprises four legs (13 to 16) essentially equal in length and fastened in pairs adjacent to both ends of a base portion (1) of the triangle by means of hinges (17 to 20) which enable the legs to be pivoted essentially within the contours of the reflective surface (6) of the base portion (1) for placing the warning triangle into a case for storage, and further to be pivoted into an extended operative position so that the warning triangle is supported by the legs at four points. The legs (13 to 16) are preferably fastened to the ends of the base portion (1) of the triangle and their length is 50 to 100%, preferably about 80%, of the length of the base portion.</p> |
