Abstract

A warning strip for automobiles in the present invention mainly includes a body, a tape, a circuit board and a transparent cover. Only to remove a tear-off sheet from the tape, and then the warning strip can be attached to an appropriate place of an automobile with cords of the circuit board connected to power source of the automobile to make a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LED) of the circuit board emit light capable of being changed with one or more colors and passing through a transparent cover to perform warning function so that other drivers can immediately pay attention to the existence of the automobile and keep safe distance with the automobile so as to avoid car collisions that often happen in low light conditions, thus greatly increasing the safety of the automobile.

Claims

1. A warning strip for automobiles comprising:

a body having at least one groove disposed at a back thereof and a recess disposed at a front thereof;

at least one tape capable of being placed in said at least one groove of said body and each provided with a tear-off sheet disposed at one side thereof;

a circuit board capable of being placed in said recess of said body and having a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LED) disposed thereon as well as cords connected at a lower portion thereof;

a transparent cover capable of being welded to said front of said body and having two projecting ridges disposed on an inner side thereof; and

,

whereby only to remove said tear-off sheet from said tape and then said warning strip can be attached to an appropriate place of an automobile with said cords of said circuit board connected to power source of said automobile to make said plurality of light-emitting diodes (LED) of said circuit board emit light capable of being changed with one or more colors and passing through said transparent cover to perform warning function so that other drivers can immediately pay attention to the existence of said automobile and keep safe distance with said automobile so as to avoid car collisions that often happen in low light conditions, thus greatly increasing the safety of the automobile.

2. The warning strip for automobiles as claim 1, wherein said recess of said body is provided with a raised part therein and two engagement grooves respectively disposed at both sides of said raised part for the engagement of said two projecting ridges of said transparent cover so as to fix said transparent cover in position.
