Description
2132g96 Field of invention This invention relates to a locking device which secures an air vented bicycle helmet to any structural component of a bicycle.
Background of invention Cycling has long been accepted as a popular means of transportation and has, in recent years, enjoyed a tremendous upsurge in popularity as a recreational sport. Today's bicycles are becoming more sophisticated and new technologies are continually being applied to it's manufacture. Many bicycle accessories have been developed to add to the bicker's pleasure and safety.
One of the most important pieces of equipment a cyclist should have is a safety helmet. Many bicycle owners are reluctant to wear these helmets, but it is slowly becoming accepted practice. The wearing of a safety helmet when cycling is becoming mandatory in many areas of the country. We are already seeing signs of the helmeted society. People walking around our shopping Malls with helmets under their arms, or still on their heads; students trying to make room for them in their school lockers. As more helmets are purchased, so will the likely-hood that they will be lost of stolen.
Providing a means of securing a helmet to a bicycle frame is not a new idea. Locking devices for motorcycle helmets have been around for quite a while.
A Canadian patent #904609, shows a locking device that affixes a motorcycle helmet to the fuel tank. In still another patent, inventor John P. Donahue incorporates the locking device into the helmet. The obvious disadvantage here is that if adds a considerable amount of weight to the helmet, making it uncomfortable to wear. In some cases, holes need to be made in the helmet's shell in order to provide a means of attachment, thereby destroying the helmet's integrity.
Today's bicycle helmets are made of strong, light weight materials which provide the wearer with a degree of comfort and safety. Some have a multi-colored streamlined design, while others come in a plain monotone shell. Since the demand for bicycle helmets has increased, we have seen a diversity in the style, color, and shapes available.
In an effort to provide head protection which is light-weight and comfortable to wear, the majority of safety helmets are being manufactured with an air vented shell. Holes of various sizes and shapes allow air to flow through the shell providing a cooling effect for the cyclist. This also helps to reduce the weight of the helmet while still maintaining it's strength and integrity.
Summary of the invention The object of the invention is to provide a convenient and secure method of attaching the bicycle helmet to the bicycle frame or handle bar.
According to the invention, there is provided a keyed lock, having a method of attaching said lock to a structural member of a bicycle. A mounting bracket with multiple hinges and a tension lever provide a method of securing the lock mechanism to a tubular member of the bicycle.
In a preferred embodiment, the lock has two separate chambers operated by one lock mechanism. One chamber accepts a locking pin with an attached support plate whose surface area is larger than the air vent hole of the bicycle helmet. The configuration of the support plate, to a certain extent depends on the size, length, width, or shape of the vent hole. The size of the vent hole must be at least as great as the diameter of the lock pin shaft.
In a more detailed embodiment, the lock pin shaft is inserted through the underside of the helmet and into the most appropriate or centralized air vent hole, is then passed through an opening in the mounting bracket, and further inserted into the lock chamber. A
spring loaded lock plate secures the lock pin in the chamber, preventing both the lock mechanism and the safety helmet from being removed without keyed access.
In a further preferred option, there is a second chamber on the lock mechanism which can be referred to as a storage chamber. When not in use the lock pin can be inserted into the storage chamber which allows the lock pin and support plate to be stored parallel to the tubular frame member thereby providing less interference with the cyclist. Ideally, the lock pin is inserted into the storage chamber, in front of the mounting bracket tension lever, and locks into the chamber preventing the activation of the tension lever and effectively securing the lock mechanism to the structural member of the bicycle.
Brief description of the drawings The embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1- Shows a cross section view of the lock mechanism with mounting bracket and lock pin.
Figure 2- Shows a side view of the vertical lock chamber and horizontal storage chamber, as well as the spring tensioned lock plate.
Figure 3- Shows a preferred method of securing the lock to the bicycle by means of a mounting bracket with tension lever.
Figure 4- Shows how the mounting bracket tension handle snaps into place in a recessed portion of the lock mechanism, behind the opening of the storage chamber.
Figure 5- Shows an embodiment of a lock pin and support plate in both the open and stored position.
Figure 6- Shows the support plate, in a stored and locked position.
Figure 7- Shows a helmet in a locked position in a preferred embodiment of the invention.
~ ~ , Detailed description of the invention Referring to Fig 1, the diagram shows a cross section view of the lock mechanism 10, with the mounting bracket 20, attached around a tubular frame member 30. Fig 1 also shows how an air vented bicycle helmet 40, is supported by a support plate 50, and how the support plate lock pin 60, passes through a ventilation hole or channel in the helmet 40, through an opening 70 of the mounting bracket 20, and then inserted into a chamber 80 in the lock assembly. As the lock pin 60 is pushed further in the locking chamber 80, the rounded end 61 of the lock pin 60 displaces a spring tensioned lock plate 90, allowing the lock pin 60 to be inserted passed the lock plate catch mechanism 91.
Fig 2 shows an inside view of the lock mechanism 10, revealing the lock plate 90. The lock plate 90 is generally, a circular shape, with two protrusions or arms 92, having a rounded end 61. The rounded end of one arm 92 inter-acts with the locking chamber 80. A
tensioner or spring device 100 is attached to the lock mechanism 10 at one end and the lock plate 90 at the other. This tension keeps the lock plate 90 rotated with itls arms 92 obstructing the passageways of both chambers 80 and 120. The tensioner 100 also keeps the lock 15 (Fig 1) under spring loaded tension. When the pressure on the lock key 16 is released, The spring 100 automatically returns the lock 15 to the ready position, and allows the lock plate arms 92 to enter both chambers.
Again referring to Fig 1, it can be seen that the main lock assembly 10, is of a shape and design that allows it to partially surround a tubular mounting structure 30, such as a bicycle frame or handle bar. A
mounting bracket 20, with a series of strategically located hinges 22, allows the entire lock mechanisms 10 to encircle the tubular structure 30.
A series of cushioners 12, made of compressible material such as rubber or foam, are located in desirable locations on the underside of the lock mechanism 10, and mounting bracket 20, to provide protection to the tubular member that it is being attached to, as well as creating a slight tension, squeezing the entire assembly to the rounded bar and providing a snug fit. One or more of these cushioners 12 can be made adjustable 14, to compensate for the various circumferences of the tubular mounting points involved.
Fig 3 and Fig 4 shows how the mounting bracket lever 24, snaps into place on the main lock mechanism 10. The handle 24 fits into a recessed portion of the main body 26. With the proper adjustment of the cushioners 12 and 14, the rounded end of the handle will come in direct contact with a raised portion 25 of the main lock mechanism 10, forcing the handle 24 upwards, and causing the cushioners to compress, thereby tightening the whole assembly to the tubular bar. As the handle 24 is pushed further, a slight indentation 29 on the underside of the curved portion of the handle 24 will pass over the raised obstruction 25 and form a connection, securing the handle and maintaining the mounting bracket under tension. Fig 4 shows how the tip 23 of the handle extends beyond the lock body 10, allowing the user to release the handle 24. It also demonstrates how the rounded portion of the handle 28, recesses into the lock mechanism 26, in a position behind the storage chamber 120. This allows 2I3299~
the lock pin 60, to be placed in front of the handle and prevent the lock's removal when the lock pin is locked in the storage chamber, securing the lock to the bicycle.
Fig 6 further demonstrates how a support plate 50 and lock pin 60 assembly is secured into the storage chamber 120, and prevents the mounting bracket handle 24 from being deployed.
Referring again to Fig 1 and as further represented in Fig 3, the support plate 50 and lock pin assembly passed through an opening 70 in the mounting bracket 20 before being inserted into the locking chamber, locking the pin in the locking chamber 80. This action effectively forms a continuous connection around the attaching frame member and allows both the lock and the safety helmet to be removed only with keyed access. Fig 1 also shows a cut out area 16 and several openings in the configuration of a preferred embodiment of this invention which would provide passage ways for various bicycle components and accessories such as brake cables, gear selection cables, wiring, ect...
Fig 5 shows one embodiment of the support plate 50 and lock pin 60 assembly. As previously mentioned, the support plate can be custom made to conform to a particular manufacture's vented helmet design. The embodiment of the support plate shown in Fig 6 would represent a universal type which would protect safety helmets with vent holes of various sizes and shapes, including the larger elongated tear drop shaped holes, as seen in the cross section view of a helmet 40 on Fig 1. Fig 5 shows how the support plate can be designed to collapse upon itself for more convenient storage.
The support plate extensions 52 can be unfolded to a 21~2996 parallel position and are prevented from further travel by a hinge stop 54, thereby allowing for the greatest possible surface area which prevents the removal of the helmet when in the locked position.
The lock pin in Fig 5 is attached to the support plate by means of a pin 56, or ball and socket, which allows the lock pin shaft to move freely on it's axis.
Fig 6 illustrates the lock pin in a folded down position and locked into the storage chamber, parallel to the frame member. In this position, the support plate provides the least amount of obstruction to the cyclist.
The lock pin in Fig 5 is generally a steel shaft, with a rounded end 61 and having an area of reduced diameter 62 which corresponds with the location of the lock plate catch 91 in both lock chambers. The rounded end of the lock pin displaces the rounded end of the lock plate arms 92. The lock plate arm then follows the contour of the shaft until it reaches the reduced diameter 62, allowing the lock plate arm 92 to be introduced into the chamber by spring tension. An obstruction 98 in the lock casing prevents the pin from further travel. The lock plate arm 92 is now in a notched position on the shaft, and cannot be reversed.
The length of the lock pin 60 is slightly more than the distance required to lock the pin through the mounting bracket 20 and into the lock chamber 80, up to the stop 98, allowing for the thickness of the helmet.
Numerous modifications, variations, and adaptations may be made to the particular embodiment of the invention described above without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined in the claims.
