Disclosed herein is a collapsible traffic cone marker characterized by a cylindrical base portion having one open face, an upwardly extending spiral reflective marker capable of collapsing and nesting within the base portion, and a bolt mechanism which can retain the spiral reflector within the casing when actuated or when released can allow the spiral spring to extend upwardly thereby approximating a conventional conical traffic marker.

A collapsible portable traffic cone marker comprising: a base of cylindrical configuration having an open top face, a opening disposed along an edge of said open top face, a resilient rib defining a spiral having one end placed in said opening, by selectively moveable means, said rib having a resilient memory which causes said rib to extend upwardly released by said moveable means, said resilient rib having a second end fixed in said base and defining a generally conical shape, a reflector depending from and fastened to said rib along its entire length whereby when said rib is free standing, said reflector is deployed therewith and thereby forms a marker which allows air to pass therethrough, said selectively moveable means is spaced from a bottom face of said base for retaining said rib and reflecting portions in said base in which said selectively moveable means for retaining said rib and reflecting portions in said base comprises: a horizonally disposed bar on the bottom face of said base, said selectively moveable means including a vertically upstanding rod member fastened to said bar substantially at said bar\s center and extending through said base having a threaded terminal portion above said base, a substantially circular plate of said moveable means at a top most portion of said rib remote from said fixed one end, said plate having an elongate linear slit disposed therethrough, and a wing nut threaded on said threaded terminal portion of said rod member, whereby when said plate is pushed over said wing nut, through said slit, said wing nut can be rotated away from registry with said slit and said marker has been compressed for storage.
