ENSEMBLE KIT AUTONOMESELF-CONTAINED KIT ASSEMBLY
FEUX CLIGNOTANTS ET DE STOP POUR BICYCLETTE FLASHING AND STOP LIGHTS FOR BICYCLES
L'invention est relative à un ensemble autonome destiné à être adapté à une bicyclette et à assurer les fonctions d'indication de changement de The invention relates to an autonomous assembly intended to be adapted to a bicycle and to perform the functions of indication of change of
direction (feux clignotants) et de signalisation des arrêts (feu de stop). direction (flashing lights) and stop signaling (brake light).
Les bicyclettes sont en général équipées de moyens de signalisation permettant de rouler de nuit (feux avant et arrière). Pour les changements de direction et les arrêts, aucun dispositif ne semble avoir été conçu pour être adapté aux cycles en question: - pour les changements de direction, il faut lâcher le guidon pour l'indiquer ce qui a pour effet de diminuer la stabilité de la conduite; Bicycles are generally equipped with signaling means enabling them to ride at night (front and rear lights). For changes of direction and stops, no device seems to have been designed to be adapted to the cycles in question: - for changes of direction, you have to let go of the handlebars to indicate this, which has the effect of reducing the stability of the driving;
- pour les arrêts, il n'existe aucune possibilité manuelle de les signaler. - for stops, there is no manual possibility to report them.
Tout ceci engendre une insécurité qu'il convient de solutionner. All this creates insecurity which must be resolved.
Le déposant a donc conçu un ensemble kit autonome qui élimine ces inconvénients et qui réalise les fonctions précédentes sans que le cycliste The depositor has therefore designed an autonomous kit assembly which eliminates these drawbacks and which performs the previous functions without the cyclist
ait à lâcher le guidon avec l'une ou l'autre de ses mains. have to let go of the handlebars with either hand.
L'ensemble kit autonome selon l'invention se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte, pour réaliser la fonction de changement de direction: - un élément central pourvu d'un moyen apte à assurer sa fixation à l'un des sous-ensembles dudit cycle; - deux bras placés de chaque côté dudit élément central et porteurs, à chaque extrémité, d'un feu clignotant; - un contacteur relié audit élément central par une liaison électriquement conductrice apte à commander séparément lesdits feux clignotants et pourvu d'un moyen apte à assurer sa fixation au guidon dudit cycle; - une source d'énergie électrique intégrée audit ensemble et apte à alimenter The autonomous kit assembly according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises, to perform the direction change function: - a central element provided with a means capable of ensuring its attachment to one of the sub-assemblies of said assembly cycle; - two arms placed on each side of said central element and carrying, at each end, a flashing light; - A contactor connected to said central element by an electrically conductive link capable of separately controlling said flashing lights and provided with means capable of ensuring its attachment to the handlebars of said cycle; - a source of electrical energy integrated into said assembly and capable of supplying
lesdits feux clignotants par l'intermédiaire dudit contacteur. said flashing lights through said switch.
Il comporte, en outre, pour réaliser la fonction de signalisation des arrêts, It also includes, to carry out the function of signaling stops,
un feu de stop intégré à l'élément central précédent. a brake light integrated into the previous central element.
