Abstract
Description
DESCRIPTION
Préambule : Les déplacements par cycle en milieu urbain présentent de nombreux avantages, mais aussi d'incontestables risques d'accrochages et de chutes lors des changements de directions ou des arrêts, pour diverses raisons: densité du trafic selon l'heure de la journée, les intempéries, la charge, I'allure, les vitesses Il n'est pas toujours aisé pour le cycliste de faire connaître aux autres usagers, ses intentions de s'arrêter ou de changer de trajectoire. (hormis tendre le bras)
Dans la pratique, je n'en ai pas trouvé de système ou de matériel satisfaisant permettant cette signalisation: pour des raisons de visibilité des signaux lumineux le jour, de durée des piles, de fiabilité ou de garanties contre le vol
Principe: Système simple d'indicateur de directions et d'arrêts pour cycles.DESCRIPTION
Preamble: Traveling by cycle in an urban environment has many advantages, but also indisputable risks of snagging and falling when changing directions or stops, for various reasons: traffic density by time of day, bad weather, load, speed, speeds It is not always easy for cyclists to make other users aware of their intentions to stop or change course. (apart from reaching out)
In practice, I have not found a satisfactory system or equipment allowing this signaling: for reasons of visibility of light signals during the day, duration of batteries, reliability or guarantees against theft
Principle: Simple system of directions and stops indicator for cycles.
utilisable aussi bien à l'arrêt qu'en marche, ce qui en fait l'originalité!
L'équipement se compose de trois éléments principaux fixés sur le cadre du cycle chacun a sa place, reliés entre-eux électriquement. Un élément séparé des autres, en cas de vol, devient inutilisable. Fig. 1
Description: 3 éléments, Le boîtier central(3, le générateur(2), le commutateur(3). can be used both when stopped and when running, which makes it original!
The equipment consists of three main elements fixed to the frame of the cycle each has its place, electrically interconnected. A separate item from the others, in the event of theft, becomes unusable. Fig. 1
Description: 3 elements, The central box (3, the generator (2), the switch (3).
-Le boîtier centrale amovible, installé sous la selle par clips aux passants d'acces soires ou sérré sur sa potence par une sangle Velcros, contient a l'intérieur: la plati- ne électroniqueO Les accumulateurs O6 branchés en série. Fixées à l'extérieur, les deux antennesOs souples des clignotants0). Les branchements(D"entrée et sorties des accessoires". Le feu stopO9. -The removable central box, installed under the saddle by clips with passers-by in the evening or tightened on its stem by a Velcros strap, contains inside: the electronic board O The O6 accumulators connected in series. Attached to the outside, the two flexible Os of the turn signals0). The connections (D "accessory inlet and outlet". The stop light O9.
-Le générateur(2), est une dynamo qui fourni la tension de charge des accumula tueurs) intégrés dans le boîtier centralO auquel il est reliée par un câble électrique mono-conducteur, branché par une fiche. Le négatif est à la masse. (I1 peut être fait usage de celui(2) préinstallé sur le cycle
-Le commutateur(3) fixé sur le guidon(B, est manipulé avec le pouce vers la gauche ou la droite de sa position centrale de repos.Lors de la mise en fonction, une
DELt1 témoin, (diode électroluminescente) clignote en alternance avec le feu cli gnotantO4 arrière pour le côté sollicité. fi est relié par un câble électrique gainé, connecté au boîtier électroniqueO par unjackG8. Fig. 5 & 6
-Le clignotantW proprement dit, (un par côté) est une lampe sphérique, vissée à l'extrémité d'une courte antenne Os gainée flexible (4 à 5 cm) et sertie de chaque côté à l'extérieur du boîtier centrale. L'éclairage est assuré par une ampoule ou une
DEL de brillance suffisante pour être visible de jour dans la majorité des cas. Fig. 2
L'INDICATEUR D'ARRETS ou "FEU STOP"
Principe. Un signal lumineux de freinage est intégré au boîtier central(). Sa mise en fonction s'effectue lors de l'utilisation du frein arrière. Fig. 2
Fonctionnement : Une lentille de Fresnel(g) convexe, rouge-orangé, est collée sur
la face extérieure du boîtier centralOl. Formant couvercle, elle protège l'ampoule12
visée sur le circuit imprimés7, alimentée en direct par VaccumulateurO6. -The generator (2), is a dynamo which supplies the charging voltage of the accumulators) integrated in the central boxO to which it is connected by a single-conductor electric cable, connected by a plug. The negative is grounded. (I1 can be used with the one (2) preinstalled on the cycle
-The switch (3) fixed on the handlebars (B, is manipulated with the thumb to the left or the right from its central rest position.
DELt1 indicator, (light-emitting diode) flashes alternately with the rear flashing light O4 for the requested side. fi is connected by a sheathed electrical cable, connected to the electronic unit O by a jackG8. Fig. 5 & 6
-The flashing W itself (one per side) is a spherical lamp, screwed to the end of a short flexible sheathed bone antenna (4 to 5 cm) and set on each side outside the central box. Lighting is provided by a bulb or a
LED of sufficient brightness to be visible by day in most cases. Fig. 2
THE STOP INDICATOR or "STOP LIGHT"
Principle. A brake light signal is integrated into the central unit (). It is activated when the rear brake is used. Fig. 2
Operation: A convex, orange-red Fresnel lens (g) is stuck on
the outer face of the central box Ol. Forming a cover, it protects the bulb12
aimed on the printed circuit 7, supplied directly by Vaccumulator O6.
La mise en circuit est assurée au freinage par un micro-contacteur, clippé sur le
câble de frein AR, relié au boîtier centralO par un jacks Dès le début du freina
ge, à chaque sollicitation du frein, le contact s'établi et la lampe du feu stop9
s'allume. The circuit is ensured under braking by a micro-switch, clipped on the
rear brake cable, connected to the central box O by a jacks From the start of the brake
ge, each time the brake is applied, the contact is made and the brake light lamp9
lights up.
