Abstract

A traffic cone rack adapted to be mounted on a bumper, a floor or side panel of a vehicle. The device includes an elongated body portion adapted for securing to a portion of a vehicle. A cone support bail projects outward from the body for receiving traffic cones. A cone locking bail is tiltably secured to the body and moves over a fulcrum point for locking the traffic cones on the bail in a carrying position. An adjunct to the device is a warning buzzer which sounds when the locking bail is in the open position and the ignition switch of the vehicle is on.
