Road hazard warning apparatus

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A road hazard warning device comprising: a generally triangular planar member having a front side and a rear side, said planar member being fabricated from a flexible sheet capable of being rolled or folded into a smaller size for storage; a light reflective coating applied to said front side of said planar member; a plurality of lights attached adjacent the outer peripheral edges of said generally triangular, planar member by being adhered to the surface of said planar member; means, connected to said plurality of lights for supplying electrical power to said plurality of lights; and, means, attached to said rear side of said planar members, for releasably holding, at least a portion of said rear side of said planar member to a vehicle.
2.
The road hazard warning device as in claim 1 wherein said means for supplying electrical power to said plurality of lights comprises: at least one wire having at a first end an electrical connection to each light in said plurality of lights and at a second end having an allegator clip with tensioned opposed jaw members biased to remain in a closed position, each of said jaw members further having a plurality of depending teeth adapted for penetrating the insulation surrounding a wire in the vehicle electrical system and creating an electrical connection therewith for providing electrical power to said plurality of lights.
3.
The road hazard warning device as in claim 2 wherein said means for supplying electrical power to said plurality of lights comprises two wires.
4.
The road hazard warning device as in claim 3 wherein said two wires are electrically connected to said plurality of lights in parallel.
5.
The road hazard warning device as in claim 3 wherein said two wires are eletrically connected to said plurality of lights in series.
6.
The road hazard warning device as in claim 1 wherein said means for supplying electrical power to said plurality of lights comprises: at least one wire having at a first end an electrical connection to each light in said plurality of lights and at a second end an electrical to a battery
