Abstract:

A magazine for holding and distributing a plurality of road flares has a bottom including downwardly facing sockets for receiving ends of a plurality of road flares and for retaining the received flares against the force of gravity but such that each retained flare may be plucked out by hand for lighting and distribution. A top includes a carrying handle adapted for cradling a lit starter flare such that the flare can be held to the handle by a carrying hand and released as desired by releasing the flare from the carrying hand and tilting the handle. Preferably, the ignition end of the flare is inserted in the socket and a cap and/or anti-roll device is placed on the other end of the flare.
