Abstract
A wind resistant collapsible roadway signal assembly adapted for carrying in collapsed configuration in a truck, car, or the like for assembly and positioning along a roadway as a warning sign or the like when and if a vehicular breakdown occurs. The signal assembly includes an elongated base construction and a sign assembly supported therefrom. The sign assembly is demountably associated with the base construction; when assembled, the sign assembly upstands from a mid-portion of said base construction, and when disassembled, the sign assembly nests in an adjacent, parallel relationship relative to said base construction, all with the sign assembly so demountably associated with said base construction. A single resilient finger integral with the base construction functions both to lock the sign assembly position relative to the base construction and to demountably engage the sign assembly with the base construction.
