As shown in the drawings, a safety parking tripod 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

a support column 110;

a base 120 as a weight at the bottom of the column 110;

a plurality of foldable blades 130 surrounding the support column 110;

a fabric or film that can serve a warning function that covers the plurality of foldable blades 130;

wherein the base 120 enables the pillar 110 to stand on the ground when the parking tripod 100 is dropped from the air, and the plurality of foldable blades 130 are unfolded.

The support post 110 may be made of a strong and lightweight material such as aluminum alloy to support the entire tripod 100, and may be cylindrical or hollow.

The base 120 may be made of a material having a large weight, such as copper, lead, etc., so as to function as a weight, so that the center of gravity of the entire tripod 100 is located at the bottom, i.e., near the base 120. The base 120 may be cylindrical, or may have other shapes with a flat or uneven bottom surface. The base 120 may have a suitable weight and corresponding size for an average person to throw, for example around 0.5 kg.

The plurality of foldable blades 130 may be substantially uniformly wrapped around the support post 110, and each foldable blade 130 may have its end attached to the upper portion of the support post 110 and its end attached to the lower portion of the support post 110. each foldable blade 130 may be foldable and unfoldable, and when folded, it is integrally attached to the support post 110. when unfolded, only its two ends are attached to the support post 110 and its middle portion is removed from the support post 110. to this end, the connection of the end of each foldable blade 130 to the lower portion of the support post 110 should be slidable up and down along the support post 110.

The foldable louvers 130 may be made of a material that is light in weight, strong, durable, and resistant to aging, such as polyethylene, plexiglass, aluminum alloy, and the like.

In the embodiments, the plurality of foldable leaves 130 includes three or four foldable leaves 130. of course, in other embodiments, the plurality of foldable leaves 130 can include other numbers of foldable leaves 130.

The fabric or film can be any fabric or film with warning function, such as bright-colored cloth, plastic film, etc., and can also be reflective cloth coated with reflective material, etc.

Since the base 120 is a counterweight, the center of gravity of the safety tripod 100 is located at the bottom, and the foldable blades 130 are foldable, so that when the safety tripod 100 is thrown far away, it will fall on the ground like a shuttlecock, the base 120 falls on the ground, the whole safety tripod 100 is upright, and the foldable blades 130 are naturally unfolded under the action of self-weight (or a spring or other mechanism) and automatically put away. Therefore, when the vehicle is anchored on the road, the passenger does not need to run to dozens of meters behind the vehicle to place the tripod, but can throw the safety tripod 100 far away from the road surface behind the vehicle, thereby saving precious time, effectively avoiding secondary accidents and greatly improving personal and vehicle safety.

In embodiments, each foldable flap 130 comprises a sub-flap 131 and a second sub-flap 132, wherein the end of the sub-flap 131 is rotatably connected to the top of the support post 110, the second end of the sub-flap 131 is hinged to the end of the second sub-flap 132 at , and the second end of the second sub-flap 132 is rotatably connected to the middle lower portion of the support post 110 and can slide along the support post 110.

The th sub-leaf plate 131 and the second sub-leaf plate 132 may be plate-shaped, such as rectangular plate-shaped, or may be other shapes, such as cylindrical, the second end of the th sub-leaf plate 131 and the th end of the second sub-leaf plate 132 may be pivotally connected to , for example, such that the th sub-leaf plate 131 and the second sub-leaf plate 132 are rotatable relative to each other about a pivot.

In embodiments, the parking tripod 100 further comprises:

and the th collar 140 is fixed on the top of the support column 110, wherein the th end of the th sub-blade 131 is rotatably connected to the th collar 140, the th collar 140 can be fixed on the top of the support column 110 by welding or the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, holes may be provided in the corner of the -th end of the -th leaflet panel 131 near the stanchion 110 through which the collar 140 may pass to rotatably couple the -th leaflet panel 131 to the collar 140.

In embodiments, the parking tripod 100 further comprises:

and a plurality of springs 150 sleeved on the th collar 140 and respectively positioned between two adjacent th sub-blades 131.

The number of th springs 150 may be the same as the number of th sub-louvers 131, such that th springs 150 are disposed between each adjacent pair of 0 th sub-louvers 131 for example, as shown in fig. 2, there are four th sub-louvers 131 surrounding the strut 110, such that four th springs 150 are disposed on the collar 140, each th spring 150 being disposed between an adjacent pair of th th sub-louvers 131.

Each of the th springs 150 may have the same gauge to provide the same spring force, such that the th springs 150 act to distribute the th sub-blades 131 substantially evenly over the th collar 140, substantially evenly around the support post 110.

In embodiments, the parking tripod 100 further comprises:

a second collar 160 that fits over the support post 110 and is slidable along the support post 110, wherein the second end of the second sub-louver 132 is rotatably coupled to the second collar 160.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the second end of the second sub-louver 132 may have holes in the corner adjacent the post 110 through which the second collar 160 may pass to rotatably couple the second sub-louver 132 to the second collar 160.

Since the second loop 160 can slide along the supporting pillar 110, when it slides to the top of the supporting pillar 110, the second end of the second sub-leaf 132 moves to the top of the supporting pillar 110, so that the second sub-leaf 132 is attached to the supporting pillar 110, and the foldable leaf 130 is folded, when it slides to the lower portion of the supporting pillar 110, the second end of the second sub-leaf 132 moves to the lower portion of the supporting pillar 110, so that the end of the second sub-leaf 132 is away from the supporting pillar 110, and the foldable leaf 130 is unfolded.

In embodiments, the parking tripod 100 further comprises:

a sleeve 170 sleeved on the support post 110 and capable of sliding along the support post 110, wherein the second collar 160 is fixed on the sleeve 170.

The sleeve 170 may be, for example, a cylinder that is fitted over the support post 110 and has an inner diameter greater than the diameter of the support post 110 so as to be freely slidable along the support post 110. The second collar 160 may be fixed to the sleeve 170 by welding or the like. The second collar 160 may be conveniently driven to slide up and down the post 110 by using a sleeve 170 to facilitate folding and unfolding of the foldable paddle 130.

In embodiments, the parking tripod 100 further comprises:

and a plurality of second springs 180 sleeved on the second collar 160 and respectively located between two adjacent second sub-blades 132.

The number of second springs 180 may be the same as the number of second sub-leaf plates 132 such that second springs 180 are disposed between each adjacent pair of second sub-leaf plates 132, for example, as shown in fig. 3, there are four second sub-leaf plates 132 surrounding the support post 110, such that four second springs 180 are disposed on the second collar 160, each second spring 180 being disposed between an adjacent pair of second sub-leaf plates 132.

Each of the second springs 180 may have the same dimension so as to provide the same spring force, such that the plurality of th sub-blades 132 will be substantially evenly distributed on the second collar 160 and substantially evenly surround the support post 110 under the action of the plurality of second springs 180.

In embodiments, the parking tripod 100 further includes a third spring 190 fitted over the support post 110 and between the top of the support post 110 and the second collar 160.

The third spring 190 may have upper and lower ends fixed to the top of the pillar 100 and the top of the sleeve 170, respectively, and may have a natural length corresponding to the maximum unfolded position of the foldable flap 130. That is, when the foldable flap 130 is unfolded to the maximum extent (e.g., the second sub-flap 132 is perpendicular to the pillar 110), the third spring 190 is in a natural state without tensile or compressive elasticity. Thus, when the safety parking tripod 100 is retracted and the foldable blade 130 is folded and attached to the pillar 110, the third spring 190 is in a compressed state. When the safety parking tripod 100 is to be used and thrown, the second end of the second sub-louver 132 is moved downward by the elastic force of the third spring 190, and the foldable louver 130 is unfolded and stabilized at its maximum unfolded position because the second end of the second sub-louver 132 is not moved downward too much by the tensile force of the third spring 190. Thus, the third spring 190 ensures the automatic unfolding of the safety parking tripod 100 and maintains the unfolded degree to the maximum.

Of course, in other embodiments, the safety parking tripod 100 may not include the third spring 190, and the foldable paddle 130 may be unfolded by its own weight.

When the safety parking tripod 100 is folded, each foldable flap 130 may be firstly folded to attach each second sub-flap 132 to the pillar 110, and then all the foldable flaps 130 may be folded at around the pillar 110, so that the volume of the safety parking tripod is greatly reduced and the safety parking tripod is conveniently placed in a trunk of a vehicle.
