Abstract

A warning structure includes a bracket and a warning member mounted on the bracket. The bracket includes a main body, rollers rotationally mounted to the main body, and a stopping assembly including a support member, a mounting member, and a resilient member. The support member is coupled to the main body. The mounting member is movably mounted to the support member. The rollers are mounted to the mounting member and the main body. The resilient member elastically resists the support member and the mounting member to bias the mounting member. When the support member is subjected to a downward force, the support member abuts against a ground to keep the bracket stationary.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bracket comprising:
a main body;
a plurality of rollers rotationally mounted to the main body; and
a stopping assembly comprising a support member, a mounting member, and a resilient member; wherein:
the support member is coupled to the main body;
the mounting member is movably mounted to the support member;
the plurality of rollers is mounted to the mounting member and the main body;
the resilient member elastically resists the support member and the mounting member to bias the mounting member; and
when the support member is subjected to a downward force, the support member abuts against a ground to keep the bracket stationary;
the stopping assembly further comprises a sleeve;
the sleeve is fixed in the support member;
the sleeve defines a receiving cavity;
the mounting member comprises a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion;
the first mounting portion is movably disposed in the receiving cavity;
a corresponding one of the plurality of rollers is rotationally sleeved on the second mounting portion; and
the resilient member is mounted in the receiving cavity and contacts the first mounting portion.

2. The bracket of claim 1 , wherein:
the stopping assembly further comprises a stopping member mounted on a bottom end of the support member;
the stopping member comprises at least one protruding portion configured to insert into the ground.

3. The bracket of claim 2 , wherein:
the stopping member comprises a fixing portion and a plurality of the protruding portions; and
the plurality of the protruding portions is located on opposite sides of the fixing portion.

4. The bracket of claim 1 , wherein:
the sleeve further defines a guiding groove; and
the second mounting portion is movably passed through the guiding groove.

5. The bracket of claim 1 , wherein:
the main body comprises a connecting member, a first extending member, a second extending member, and a third extending member;
the first extending member is connected to a middle portion of the connecting member;
the second extending member and the third extending member are respectively connected to two ends of the connecting member; and
the support member is coupled to the first extending member.

6. A warning structure comprising a bracket and a warning member mounted on the bracket, the bracket comprising:
a main body;
a plurality of rollers rotationally mounted to the main body; and
a stopping assembly comprising a support member, a mounting member, and a resilient member; wherein:
the support member is coupled to the main body;
the mounting member is movably mounted to the support member;
the plurality of rollers is mounted to the mounting member and the main body;
the resilient member elastically resists the support member and the mounting member to bias the mounting member; and
when the support member is subjected to a downward force, the support member abuts against a ground to keep the bracket stationary;
the stopping assembly further comprises a sleeve;
the sleeve is fixed in the support member;
the sleeve defines a receiving cavity;
the mounting member comprises a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion;
the first mounting portion is movably disposed in the receiving cavity;
a corresponding one of the plurality of rollers is rotationally sleeved on the second mounting portion; and
the resilient member is mounted in the receiving cavity and contacts the first mounting portion.

7. The warning structure of claim 6 , wherein:
the stopping assembly further comprises a stopping member mounted on a bottom end of the support member;
the stopping member comprises at least one protruding portion configured to insert into the ground.

8. The warning structure of claim 7 , wherein:
the stopping member comprises a fixing portion and a plurality of the protruding portions; and
the plurality of the protruding portions is located on opposite sides of the fixing portion.

9. The warning structure of claim 6 , wherein:
the sleeve further defines a guiding groove; and
the second mounting portion is movably passed through the guiding groove.

10. The warning structure of claim 6 , wherein:
the main body comprises a connecting member, a first extending member, a second extending member, and a third extending member;
the first extending member is connected to a middle portion of the connecting member;
the second extending member and the third extending member are respectively connected to two ends of the connecting member; and
the support member is coupled to the first extending member.
