Abstract:
A traffic barricade support, comprising:a first leg having a first end and a second end, the leg having a triangular cross section including a narrow side, a wide side oriented substantially normal to the narrow side, and a hypotenuse side, and further forming a void creating a bore through the wide side and the hypotenuse side at the first end; said first leg having a stop extending outwardly from the first end of the narrow side and having a contact surface; a second leg substantially identical to the first; a pivot, passing through the bore of the first leg and the bore of the second leg that pivotally joins the first leg to the second leg so that the hypotenuse side of the first leg is oriented towards the hypotenuse side of the second leg; whereby when the first leg is pivotally moved from a closed position, where the first leg and the second leg are substantially parallel, to an open position, where the first leg and the second leg are at a relative angle, the stop of the first leg will engage the stop of the second leg and prevent any further increase of the relative angle of the first leg and the second leg.
