Abstract: The present invention includes a retractable signaling apparatus and a method of using the apparatus to alert passers-by to the presence of a stationed vehicle that may be obscured from view. In situations that include the parking of a small vehicle or the stationing of such a vehicle along a road due to mechanical difficulties, it is often difficult for passers-by, including pedestrians and other motorists, to be aware of the presence of the vehicle. In such situations the present invention provides an easily carried signaling device that can be tethered to the vehicle. The signaling device provides an alert to passers-by of the presence of the vehicle in a timely manner such that collision with the vehicle can be avoided. The tethering means ensures that the alert is maintained in view of ambient conditions or mischief that could otherwise cause the loss of the alerting device.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a garment for use as a backpack. The garment comprises an anterior member and a posterior member. The anterior member can be divided into a right half and a left half, each half having a top edge, a medial edge, and a distal edge. The posterior member can have an interior side, an exterior side, a surface area, a right edge, a left edge, and a top edge. The anterior member and the posterior member can be joined such that the top edge of the right half of the anterior member is joined to the top edge of the posterior portion from a point substantially at the right edge of the posterior member and continuing medially, and the top edge of the left half of the anterior member is joined to the top edge of the posterior portion from a point substantially at the left edge of the posterior member. The anterior member can have at least one pocket fixedly attached thereto.
