A warning device includes three components of an orange fluorescent material that carry reflectors of a red reflex reflective material. The components are pivotally connected to be operable to a compact folded condition. In an unfolded operative condition, an attachment structure secures a lower end portion of a first component to the upper edge of a vehicle window. The first component then extends outwardly at a sixty degree angle, a second component then extends horizontally outwardly from the lower end of the first component and the third component then extends inwardly and upwardly and at a sixty degree angle from the outer end of the second component to the upper end of the first component. The device then presents a triangularly shaped area having an outer border defined by the reflectors and an inner border defined by portions of the components. The attachment structure is sturdy and provides a reliable support of the device while being of a small size. The device is designed for use with windows having a wide range of angles to the horizontal and it is economically manufacturable.

[ I claim:] [1.] A warning device comprising: an assembly of three elongated components having light reflecting means thereon, means for securing end portions of said components together for selective positioning thereof in either an operative condition in which said reflecting means form a triangular shape or an inoperable folded condition in which components are in a registering relation to provide a compact assembly for storage, and attachment means for functioning in said operative condition of said components to secure one of said components to a vehicle while placing one of said reflecting means in a generally horizontal position and placing the other two reflecting means in positions extending upwardly from opposite ends of said one of said reflecting means to meet and form a triangular shape in a vertical plane for maximum visibility, said attachment means being at a lower end of said one of said components when said components are in said operative condition and being arranged to be then secured to an upper edge portion of a side window of said vehicle to then position said one of said reflecting means at the elevation of said upper edge portion of said window and said device at an elevated position relative to said vehicle, wherein said attachment means so function when securing said one of said components to said window that upper edge portions of said window are engaged by said attachment means while a lower portion of said window is engaged by a lower end portion of said one of said components.
