Apiece
Apiece is new type of traffic cone design, using a modular structure to achieve multiple functions.
How does it work?
The use of sheet shape, coupled with the buckle mechanism, makes the traffic cone not a cone, but a more flexible and variable flat shape.
According to the site requirements, apice can be freely arranged and combined in three different forms to maximize the visualization of the warning area in the most resource-saving way.
Why is it needed?
Traffic cones play an indispensable role in traffic safety, but there are many problems to be solved in the use of current traffic cones. For example, overturned traffic cones are easy to cause skidding in the driving of motorcycles and locomotives, occupy a very large space when carrying traffic cones, and waste a lot of consumables in manufacturing. If all these problems can be solved, I believe they will bring a lot of benefits to the society and the environment.
How does it improve life?
Although it is knocked down, it will also be spread on the road to reduce accidents. It does not take up space for storage during transportation, which can improve the storage capacity. In use, the straight line and the turning point can be spliced infinitely, and can also stand alone, or even a single piece of supporting objects can be placed.
The damage of traffic cones is common. In order to replace the damaged traffic cones, the output is also high. In addition, the production process uses plastic injection molding, which is very environmentally friendly. Apiece uses recycled plastic bottles to make, and the plate-shaped shape minimizes the cost of molds and consumables to achieve the green cycle.
