Abstract
Bicycle wheels have integral reflective areas to increase visibility of the bicycle. These areas show through portions of the wheel tread, so that the tread protects the reflector material from wear. The reflecting areas are scattered over the wheel and situated at a variety of angles with respect to the plane of the wheel so that reflectors are always situated to reflect light from the sun, a street lamp, or car headlights. A bicycle tire of the conventional sort having a tube and removable outer tire having tread is used. The outer tire has holes formed in it interspersed among the raised areas of tread. Reflecting material in sheets is placed between the outer wheel and the tube. Preferably, the reflecting material is affixed to the outer tire, and is coated with a protective coating.
Description
Background of invention
Technical field
The present invention relates to have the tire of reflective areas, particularly have the bike tyre of the reflective areas that demonstrates the tire tread district.
Background technology
Because automobile driver tends to not note bicycle, so the bicycle danger close of on the road surface, travelling.This problem is particularly serious at night.People have used many methods to make bicycle more as seen.On for example many bicycles headlight and taillight are housed.Most of bicycles have reflex reflector, and people by bike usually helmets, and are installed with the clothes of reflective areas.
But, the lamp on the bicycle can only be from the place ahead or the rear just can see.In addition, the position of reflex reflector must correctly just can be caught and reflected light.This is related to everyone, particularly children, youth and undergraduate safety.Make bicycle very as seen can save life.
Therefore need the bike tyre of band reflective areas in this area, make automobile driver to know and see the bicycle that travels.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide cycle wheel with one reflective areas.Reflective areas demonstrates the wheel decorative pattern, makes that decorative pattern protection reflex-reflective material is not frayed.Reflective areas is dispersed on the wheel and with various angles ground, relative wheel plane and is provided with, and makes reflex reflector can be in the light of reflected sunlight, street lamp or the light of automobile headlamp.
Use has the inner tube of a tyre and the dapple ordinary bicycle tire that unloads cover tire.The hole that is dispersed in the decorative pattern convex area is arranged in the cover tire.The flexible sheet reflex-reflective material is between the foreign steamer and the inner tube of a tyre.Preferably, reflex-reflective material sticks on the cover tire, and scribbles rubber and so on, to protect it and the inner tube of a tyre.
Reflex-reflective material can be the laminated reflective tape that is bonded on the inner surface of cover tyre.Preferably, the more than a kind of color of reflex-reflective material, thus can see clearlyer.Can be ejected into protection rubber on the rubber.Preferably, for example bore with flatiron or heat in the hole in the cover tire, and fusing forms.This limit, heat sealable hole prevents to tear.The hole also can be when making tire molded forming.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 one is equipped with the side isometric view of the cycle wheel part of reflecting tyre of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the birds-eye view of Fig. 1 tire; And
Fig. 3 is the cutaway view of the tire of Fig. 1 and 2.
The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 one is equipped with the side isometric view of the cycle wheel part of reflecting tyre 100 of the present invention.Reflecting tyre 100 comprises the inner tube of a tyre 110 (see figure 3)s that have the cover tire 112 of protruding pattern 102 to cover by.It is porose 104 that go up on cover tire 112 surface, thereby allow reflex-reflective material 106 to manifest.
Fig. 2 is the birds-eye view of Fig. 1 tire 100.This figure is shown specifically protruding pattern 102 and shows the hole 104 of reflex-reflective material 106.It also illustrates view 3-3 shown in Figure 3.Should see that the straight line that becomes to make that described hole is not only sent from the tire center is scattered in hole 104 on cover tire 112, but also become various angles with these straight lines.This causes the light that sends from light source to reflect with various angles on tire 100.During tyre rotation, reflex reflector does not stop flicker (from the place ahead, rear or side look) under sunlight, street lamp or automobile headlamp.
Fig. 3 is the cutaway view of the tire of Fig. 1 and 2.Fig. 3 illustrates the structure of tire 100.The inner tube of a tyre 110 does not add change.Cover tire 112 is changed as follows.Unload cover tire 112 from the inner tube of a tyre 110, between the convex area that is preferably in decorative pattern 102 of cover tire 112, form the hole.Therefore protruding pattern prevents reflex-reflective material 106 kiss the earths, thereby reduces wear.Hole of per two sq ins just, four hole works very well per square inch.In one embodiment, reflex-reflective material 106 uses 3M ＂ Conspicuity Tape ＂ (trade mark for example is Scotchlite
TMDiamond Grade
TM) and so on reflective tape.In another embodiment, reflex-reflective material comprises Scotchlite
TMReflex-reflective material and so on laminated material, this material comprise and are bonded on the polyester adhesive tape retroreflective lens of lamination in addition.The benefit of lamination is to prevent that tire from being pierced through by sticker and so on.Also can use alternative, canvas type reflector tape.Reflective tape is flat, soft, very solid.Reflex-reflective material 106 for example sticks with glue on cover tire 112 inside faces.One deck rubber 108 and so on is coated on the reflex-reflective material 106 as protective cover.Layer 108 forms by spray rubber on rubber.
Preferably, hole 104 forms by partly melting tire 112 at least.This limit, heat sealable hole prevents to tear.Available flatiron melts on tire and portals, also available heat boring, but simultaneously with heat heat-sealing limit, hole.Also can when making, tire in tire, form the hole.
Those of ordinary skills obviously can make all corrections to these exemplary embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
