CZ27740U1 - Signaling sports jacket with built-in light warning of change in movement of its bearer, especially bicyclist sports jacket - Google Patents

Description

Technical field

The subject of the technical solution is a sports jacket with built-in electronics signaling the change of direction of its wearer, in particular a cycling jacket. When changing the direction of movement when cycling, the corresponding LED system lights up stably on the back and also on the sleeves of the cycling sports jacket.

State of the art

In recent years, both cyclists and pedestrians, and especially runners, who often use urban and suburban cycling routes to increase their fitness and health in addition to urban roads, are increasingly involved in increasing traffic density. Cyclists still use hand-tightening to signal a change in driving direction, which in many situations is dangerous for driving stability and can easily be overlooked. Bicycle braking is not signaled at all in these cases. With a multiple increase in the number of cyclists using both ordinary roads and cycle paths, the number of recreational runners has also increased. Cyclists are usually lit in the evening by flashing white and red lights, recreational runners and other people on urban roads or bike paths are not clearly marked at all.

The purpose of the technical solution is at least to limit the aforementioned drawbacks and the proposed modification of the sports jacket equipped with an automatic indication of the change of direction can be used by both cyclists and runners.

The essence of the technical solution

The essence of the technical solution is that the signaling sports jacket contains, on the one hand, a first gyroscopic sensor for indicating the movement of the left sleeve of the signaling sports jacket to the position of clamping and secondly a second gyroscopic sensor for indicating the movement of the right sleeve of the signaling sports jacket to the setting position. The two gyroscopic sensors are connected to a control electronic unit, and at the same time, a first LED array adapted to cooperate with the first gyroscopic sensor and also a second LED array adapted to cooperate with the second gyro sensor is electrically connected to the control electronic unit. Both sets of LEDs are stably placed on the back of the signaling sports jacket and are arranged in the form of arrows indicating the direction of movement of the wearer of the signaling sports jacket left or right. Both arrow-shaped LEDs emit yellow light, either intermittently or continuously. The electronic control unit is connected to a power source.

The two LED diodes in the form of signaling arrows are complemented by a pair of LEDs electrically connected to the control electronic unit on the back of the signaling sports jacket on both sleeves of the signaling sports jacket. This is to highlight the signaling of a change in the direction of movement of the wearer of the signaling sports jacket to the left or right. Both pairs of LEDs are visible from behind the signaling sports jacket and emit yellow flashing or uninterrupted light.

Preferably, a control LED is electrically connected to the control electronic unit on the front side of the two sleeves of the signaling sports jacket. This control LED on the front of both sleeves allows the wearer of the signaling jacket to easily navigate the correct functioning of both LEDs located stably on the back of the signaling sports jacket.

The control LEDs light yellow or emit a flashing yellow light.

Furthermore, a supplementary set of flashing LEDs electrically connected to the control electronic unit is stably installed on the back or shoulders of the signaling sports jacket. The complementary set of flashing LEDs is red.

The advantage of the proposed solution is the possibility of clear monitoring of forward and side motion and other activities of the signaling sports jacket holder with subsequent light information of its surroundings. Other road users are properly informed about a change of direction or a change in the activity of the signaling jacket. This also contributes to better protection against injury and injury. The signaling sports jacket can be used, for example, in sports, cycling, in-line skating, motorcyclists, small motorcycle drivers, etc.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

An exemplary embodiment of a signaling sports jacket according to the invention is schematically shown in the drawing, wherein FIG. 1 shows a rear view of a signaling sports jacket provided with two LED sets in the form of signaling arrows on the back and an additional system of flashing LEDs which are controlled by the electronic control unit based on the acquired and transmitted signals from the gyro sensors, FIG. 2 shows a front view of a signaling sports jacket provided on both sleeves with a LED to register a faultless function of the automatic light signaling to change the direction of the wearer of the signaling jacket by means of both LEDs mounted on the back signaling sports Figure 3 shows a diagram of the components and components located outside the sports jacket and inside the sports jacket.

Examples of technical solutions

Referring to FIG. 1, two sets of LED diodes 8, 9 are provided on the back of the signaling sports jacket 5 powered from the power supply 13 via the control electronic unit 3 (FIG. 3). The power source 13 is either a battery or an accumulator. The LED array 8 is arranged in the form of a signaling arrow pointing to the left and is connected via a control electronic unit 3 to a first gyro sensor I located inside the signaling sports jacket 5 near its left sleeve 6. The LED array 9 is arranged in the shape of a signaling arrow pointing to the right and is connected via a control electronic unit 3 to a second gyroscopic sensor 2 located inside the signaling sports jacket 5 in the vicinity of its right sleeve 7. In the case of the wearer of the signaling sports jacket 5 by either the left sleeve 6 or the right sleeve 7, the first gyro sensor i reacts or a second gyroscopic sensor 2, and either the LED array 8 or the LED array 9 flashes intermittently through control electronic unit 3. The LEDs 8, 9 emit yellow light. When the wearer of the signaling sports jacket 5 is attached, the yellow light is switched off either in the LED diode system 8 or in the LED diode system 9.

Simultaneously with the LED array 8 or the LED array 9, a pair of LEDs 10 are placed on the left sleeve 6 or on the right sleeve 7, which are visible from the rear of the signaling sports jacket 5. Both LEDs 10 are also connected via the electronic control unit 3 to the power supply 13, which is either a battery or an accumulator. Intermittent resp. uninterrupted lighting of a pair of LED diodes 10 located on the left sleeve 6 or on the right sleeve 7 of the signaling sports jacket 5 will always occur when the hand of the signaling sports jacket holder 5 is pulled.

The correct signaling when turning left or right is signaled by the wearer of the signaling sports jacket 5 because one control LED 11 is placed on the front side of both sleeves 6, 7 of the signaling sports jacket 5, which the wearer sees peripherally and which warns of activity or inactivity electronic directional signals integrated into the signaling sports jacket 5 (Fig. 2). Failure to use the directional signaling device can only be caused by non-compliance with the conditions specified in the operating instructions, especially when the battery or battery is discharged. By checking the Π control LED when the left or right hand is being lowered. located in the peripheral field of view of the cyclist, the wearer is warned of a potential failure, especially the discharge of the battery. The LEDs 11 are powered from the power source 13 via the electronic control unit 3 and emit a yellow light or flashing yellow light.

The signaling sports jacket 5 can be supplemented by a steadily flashing complementary LED array 12 positioned stably on the back or shoulders. Red LEDs, electrically connected to the electronic control unit 3, are used for routine highlighting.

The electronic signaling device is built into the signaling jacket, and this device automatically starts and lights up the respective LED array in the form of a signaling arrow, placed on the back of the signaling sports jacket. On each sleeve of the signal jacket, looking at its back, there is a pair of LEDs visible from the rear of the signal jacket jacket. A pair of LEDs on both sleeves of the signal jack will light up simultaneously with the respective LED array in the form of a signaling arrow, which will fundamentally highlight the turn-off process, that is, the direction of the cyclist. At the same time, there is no circumvention of the obligation to show the intention of turning in the direction given by the drawn hand, as prescribed by the road traffic rules. The electronic signaling is automatically switched on when the hand is raised to the clamping position and, on the other hand, is switched off when the hand is brought to the normal position when cycling. The device must be adjusted so that it does not start accidentally when the nuance is raised accidentally. Conversely, if an electronic device breaks down or the battery is depleted, the road user must raise his hand anyway. Lifting the hand to the clamping position is an essential element that remains compulsory, as prescribed by road traffic regulations, and no mistake or mistake can occur because the cyclist must make clear the intention to turn the hand clear. In addition, triggered light on the sleeve on the respective backside will greatly increase its safety by alerting other road users of its intention to change direction. The visibility of flashing LEDs is sufficient in daylight and increases the visibility and visibility of the wearer of the signal jacket under reduced visibility. In addition, the jacket can be equipped with a complementary array of steadily flashing LEDs located on the back or shoulders, emitting intermittent red light. Signaling sports jacket can be used for other athletes, for example in-line skaters, riders on small motorcycles, etc.
