Abstract
Automatic delivery and placement of safety cones from a moving vehicle is provided. The key idea is that there is a receptacle that holds a plurality of safety cones. The receptacle is attached to the vehicle. A releasing means which is attached to the receptacle is controlled and advances the safety cones in an automatic and controlled fashion, one-by-one, to different locations on a road, street, freeway, intersection, or the like. The advantage is that it automatically takes care of the placement of a plurality of safety cones. There would no longer be a need for a person to manually deliver and place the safety cones. Therefore, the present invention provides for increased safety since it decreases or even eliminates the number of fatal or non-fatal accidents as well as chronic injuries of road-workers that are involved in placing safety cones.
