  • Publication number: 20220002956
    Abstract: A portable barricade includes at least three legs that are operably coupled together to permit movement relative to each other between a collapsed state and an expanded state. The barricade is configured such that when in the collapsed state, the at least three legs are arranged with at least one of the legs stacked between at least two other legs to form a compact stack that facilitates portability of the barricade. The at least three legs are operably coupled together for rotation about a common axis. When the barricade is deployed to the expanded state, each leg is rotated about the common axis to spread the legs apart such that each leg is arranged at a different angular position about the axis relative to the other legs, thereby enlarging the footprint and/or enhancing stability of the barricade.
