Abstract:
1. A vertically stackable and retro-fittable to existing traffic cones, traffic cone linking system with a vertical member comprising: a plurality of stackable linking cuffs, wherein each cuff comprises of a substantially hollow and conically shaped vertical body having a top end, a bottom end, an inner surface and an outer surface, the circumference of the top end is smaller than the circumference of the bottom end, the inner surface defines a plurality of airflow channels, and the outer surface defines four connecting points, each cuff can be housed within another stackable linking cuff such that when multiple linking cuffs are stacked together, each linking cuff is substantially housed within the conically shaped vertical body of the preceding stackable linking cuff so that a minimal amount of floor or shelf space is required to store the stacked plurality of stackable linking cuffs, each cuff is sized and configured such that the inner surface of the cuff engages the outer surface of a standard traffic cone thereby removably securing the cuff to the traffic cone and each connecting point on the cuff is coplanar to the bottom end of the cuff and extends outward from the bottom end of the cuff and substantially perpendicular to the vertical body of the cuff; and a traffic cone linking connector, wherein the connector comprises of a substantially non-rigid connector body, having a first end and a second end and a connecting means for removably connecting each end of the traffic cone linking connector to a connecting point on the cuff.
