Abstract

A hazard warning system having a display panel operatively associated with two mounting elements. One mounting element is adapted for coupling to a trailer hitch, and another mounting element is adapted for engaging a ground-supported frame. The display panel is configurable to alert and instruct the public in real time.

Claims (20)

1. Hazard warning system, comprising:

a display panel operatively associated with two spaced apart mounting elements;

the two mounting elements comprising:

a hitch interface configured to couple to a trailer hitch; and

a frame interface configured to couple to an upper surface of a frame, wherein the hitch interface and the frame interface are configured so that while the upper surface of the frame is engaged by the frame interface, the hitch interface contacts a supporting surface supporting the frame.

2. The hazard warning system of claim 1 , further comprising a ballistic shield removably attached along an upper surface of the display panel.

3. The hazard warning system of claim 1 , wherein the hitch interface comprises a L-shape having a vertical leg and a horizontal leg, and wherein the vertical leg is attached to a rear surface of the display panel; and the frame interface further comprising a brace dimensioned to extend from the vertical leg to a distal end of the frame.

4. The hazard warning system of claim 1 , wherein the frame interface has U-shaped upper portions that circumscribe a removable power source.

5. The hazard warning system of claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises two or more wheels connectable to ends of two legs of the frame.

6. The hazard warning system of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises an image capturing device attached thereto.

7. A hazard warning system, comprising:

a display panel operatively associated with two spaced apart mounting elements;

the two mounting elements comprising:

a hitch interface configured to couple to a trailer hitch; and

a frame interface configured to couple to an upper surface of a frame, wherein the hitch interface and the frame interface are configured so that while the upper surface of the frame is engaged by the frame interface, the hitch interface contacts a supporting surface supporting the frame, wherein the hitch interface comprises a L-shape having a vertical leg and a horizontal leg, and wherein the vertical leg is attached to a rear surface of the display panel;

the frame interface further comprising a brace dimensioned to extend from the vertical leg to a distal end of the frame;

the frame interface has U-shaped upper portions that circumscribe a removable power source;

a ballistic shield removably attached along an upper surface of the display panel;

an image capturing device attached to the display panel; and

two or more wheels connectable to ends of two legs of the frame.
