Description

The invention relates to a signal glove with bulbs and a signal glove system.

Such a signal glove may be, for example, a cycling glove. The signal glove may also be an over-glove which may be over another glove, e.g. over a bicycle glove, can be worn. In this case, the signal glove can be provided, for example, to make a cyclist more visible to other road users and thus increase traffic safety, especially in poor visibility conditions.

Such a signal glove with lighting means comprises a fixing portion, which is adapted, in an applied state, in which the signal glove is worn on the hand of a person to enclose the hand in the region of the wrist and at least one connected to the attachment portion finger portion which is formed in the applied state at least partially surrounding at least one finger of the hand according to the lateral circumference. Furthermore, illuminants are provided on the signal glove which can be switched on by means of an activation device.

Such a signal glove with bulbs is known in the field of bicycle gloves.

The DE 20 2009 017 344 U1 discloses a bicycle glove with LED lights arranged on an outer side in the region of the back of the hand, which can be switched on and off by an on / off button mounted in the area of the index finger on the bicycle glove.

The US Pat. No. 7,959,314 B1 describes an illuminable signal glove comprising a trunk, a wrist band, and a plurality of finger ribbons connected thereto. In this case, a plurality of light sources is arranged on the hull, which can be selectively switched on and off with a switching mechanism.

The US 2001/0157873 A1 discloses a signaling device which is attachable to increase the visibility in the traffic on the hand of a road user and includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes.

A disadvantage of signal gloves with illuminants known in the prior art is that they do not reliably ensure good visibility of a hand signal for other road users, which gives a cyclist to indicate an intended direction change.

For example, bulbs which are arranged in the region of the back of the hand on a signal glove, with a hand stretched out flat on the extended arm to the side and can not optimally unfold their light effect to the front and back, so that the hand gesture, for example. is not reliably perceived by oncoming traffic.

Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a signal glove with bulbs available that ensures improved visibility of a hand sign, which gives a cyclist, for example, to indicate an intended change of direction.

This object is achieved according to a first aspect of the invention by a device having the features of claim 1. Embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Accordingly, it is provided that the signal glove has at least one first signal section connected to the fastening section and / or a second signal section connected to the fastening section, wherein a first signal section extends in the applied state along an outer hand edge of the hand and a second signal section in the applied state extends along an inner hand edge of the hand, and wherein the lighting means are arranged on the at least one first or second signal portion.

The arrangement of the bulbs on an outer hand edge and / or on an inner hand edge is a good visibility of a hand signal for other road users who are in front of or behind the cyclist, guaranteed even if the cyclist while the hand on the extended arm flat (ie with palm pointing downwards) to the side.

Preferably, the lighting means comprise light emitting diodes. The use of light-emitting diodes as lighting means makes it possible to achieve high luminosity in an energy-efficient manner.

In an advantageous embodiment, the signal glove is designed to be worn in the applied state over a glove worn on the hand. For example, the signal glove may be worn over a cycling glove or a winter glove. In this way, the signal glove can be used flexibly and possibly combined with other functional gloves.

The lighting means are preferably arranged in a first double row along the at least one signal section. Such an arrangement of the bulbs allows in the applied state of the signal glove a certain tolerance in the alignment of the first signal portion along the outer hand edge and / or the second signal portion along the inner hand edge. If the first signal section, for example, slips a little around the outer hand edge, so that one of the rows of lamps from the first double row is not directly visible from behind when the flat hand is laterally extended, then the other of the rows of lamps is particularly clearly visible. In addition, the luminosity is increased overall by providing a first double row of bulbs. In addition, redundant bulbs are provided with the additional bulbs rich, for example, in the event that individual defective bulbs fail, and thus increases the overall reliability of the bulbs.

In a further development, the signal glove additionally has a second double row of illuminants, which runs essentially perpendicular to the first double row. In this case, the lighting means of the second double row can also be switched on by means of the activation device. The second double row of bulbs can ensure that a hand gesture of a cyclist, for example, to indicate an intended change of direction, even for other road users is clearly visible when the hand assumes a tilted position in which the outer hand edge is not exactly backwards (or. the inner hand edge not exactly forward) show. Even in the case that during the hand signal the back of the hand and the palm of the hand pointing forward, other road users in front of or behind the cyclist can recognize at least the second double row of bulbs.

The second double row of lamps is arranged in an advantageous embodiment of the attachment portion. The attachment portion is suitable for the arrangement of the substantially perpendicular to the inner hand edge and the outer hand edge extending second double row, since it is designed to enclose the hand in the area of the wrist. It must be provided in this embodiment on the signal glove no additional sections for the arrangement of the second double row of bulbs.

In a development, the signal glove additionally comprises at least a third signal section and / or a fourth signal section. In this case, a third signal portion extends in the applied state along the back of the hand, and a fourth signal portion extends in the applied state along the palm of the hand. In this case, lighting means which can be switched on by means of the activation device are arranged on the at least one third or fourth signal section. Preferably, a second double row of lighting means is arranged on the at least one third or fourth signal section.

In an advantageous embodiment, the finger portion has a tubular portion and is adapted to assume a first position of use in the applied condition in which at least one finger extends through the tubular portion and is completely surrounded circumferentially by the tubular portion. Such a first use position, for example, cause a particularly reliable fit of the signal glove on the hand.

In a variant, the tubular portion is at least partially foldable such that it assumes a semi-tubular shape. In this variant, in the applied state, the finger portion can assume a second use position as an alternative to the first use position, in which at least one finger is surrounded approximately halfway around its circumference by the half-tube-shaped portion. For example, the second use position may be particularly useful in cases where the signal glove is worn over another on the glove.

For example, the at least one finger, which in its applied state is circumferentially completely or approximately half surrounded by the half-tubular section, may enclose the little finger of the hand. In one variant, the finger section has at least a part of the first signal section.

In a further embodiment, the at least one finger, which in the applied state is circumferentially completely or approximately half surrounded by the half-tubular section, includes the index finger of the hand. In one variant, the finger section has at least a part of the first signal section.

According to a further development, the signal glove comprises a further finger section connected to the fastening section, which, in the applied state, is designed to completely enclose the thumb of the hand along its lateral circumference with a tubular section. In this way, for example, a secure attachment of the signal glove on the thumb of the hand done without the mobility of the remaining fingers is unnecessarily limited.

In one variant, the activation device comprises a switch which is arranged on the signal glove so that it can be actuated in the applied state with the thumb of the hand. Such an arrangement of the activation device allows, for example, a convenient operation to turn on the bulbs, without the need for the other hand are taken to the aid and must be taken for example by the bicycle handlebars.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the lighting means are switchable between at least one first lighting condition and at least one second lighting condition, the lighting means emitting light with a different intensity, color and / or duration of illumination in the first lighting condition and the second lighting condition.

In a further development, the signal glove comprises a contact element, which is arranged and configured to automatically switch the bulbs into the at least one first illuminated state in the applied state, when the hand engages around a bicycle handlebar grip and automatically switches the bulbs into the at least one second illuminated state, when the hand does not grip the bicycle handlebar grip. In this way, for giving hand gestures to indicate an intended direction change, e.g. a particularly conspicuous lighting condition may be provided, while during normal driving e.g. a less conspicuous lighting condition may be provided.

Preferably, the illumination means emit a constant light signal in the first illumination state and a flashing light signal in the second illumination state. Thus, the first lighting condition may be e.g. continually contribute to better visibility of the cyclist, and the second, more conspicuous lighting condition can develop a special signal effect, for example, to underline a hand sign when turning.

In a further embodiment, the signal glove comprises a distance measuring device for determining a distance between the signal glove and an external reference point, such as e.g. another signal glove or part of a bicycle. In this case, the distance measuring device may in particular comprise a receiving device and / or a transmitting device for receiving or transmitting a line-less transferable signal, such as e.g. an ultrasonic, radar, infrared and / or laser signal have.

According to a further development, the signal glove further comprises a control device which is designed to switch the lighting means between the at least one first lighting state and the at least one second lighting state in dependence on a distance between the signal glove and the external reference point determined by the distance measuring device.

Thus, for giving hand signals to indicate an intended change of direction of travel, the distance between the signal glove and the external reference point formed by, for example, a part of a bicycle, e.g. a particularly conspicuous lighting condition may be provided, while during normal driving e.g. a less conspicuous lighting condition may be provided.

A second aspect of the invention, which also achieves the above-defined object, relates to a signal glove system, comprising: a first signal glove according to the first aspect of the invention, which is intended to be placed on a person's hand; a second signal glove according to the first aspect of the invention, wherein the arrangement is provided on the other hand of the person; and a distance measuring device for determining a distance between the first signal glove and the second signal glove.

In this case, the distance measuring device may in particular comprise a receiving device and / or a transmitting device for receiving or transmitting a line-less transferable signal, such as e.g. an ultrasonic, radar, infrared and / or laser signal have.

In a variant, the signal glove system further comprises a control device, which is configured, the light emitting means of the first signal glove and / or the second signal glove between at least a first luminous state and at least a second depending on a determined by the distance measuring device between the first signal glove and the second signal glove Switching the illumination state, wherein the light emitting means in the first light state and the second light state emit light having a different intensity, color and / or duration of light.

In this way, in a signal glove system for giving hand signals according to the invention for indicating an intended change of direction, wherein the distance between the first signal glove and the second signal glove increases, e.g. a particularly conspicuous lighting condition may be provided, while during normal driving e.g. a less conspicuous lighting condition may be provided.

The idea underlying the invention will be described below with reference to FIGS illustrated embodiments will be explained in more detail. Show it:

6C a side view of the applied to a right hand signal glove 6A and 6B ,

The 1 shows a pair of signal gloves 1 with bulbs 2 on the hands of a cyclist embracing a bicycle handlebar. In 2 the cyclist is shown in a rear view, which extends his right hand with the signal glove with bulbs to indicate a change of direction to the right. It will be below 1 and 2 Referenced.

For example, at the in 1 illustrated on the right hand of the cyclist applied signal glove 1 recognizable, includes the signal glove 1 a fixing section 11 , which encloses the hand in the area of the wrist. Such a fastening section 11 may for example comprise a belt. Preferably, the attachment portion 11 for attachment to the wrist a closing mechanism, for example with a hook and loop fastener, have.

In the embodiment shown encloses one with the attachment portion 11 connected finger portion 12 of the signal glove 1 the little finger of the hand on the lateral circumference. It is also conceivable that the signal glove 1 enclosing a finger other than the little finger, eg the index finger or the thumb. In particular, the finger portion 12 enclose all fingers of the hand in the manner of a bicycle glove.

The in 1 illustrated finger portion 12 encloses a proximal portion of the none finger in the manner of a half glove, but not the fingertip. But it is also conceivable that the finger section 12 the little finger and / or at least one other finger of the hand in the manner of a full glove, ie including the fingertip encloses.

In a variant, the signal glove 1 be designed to be worn in the applied state over a glove worn on the hand. Accordingly, the attachment portion 11 be sized so that it can also enclose an already gloved hand in the area of the wrist, and the at least one finger section 12 can be sized so that it can enclose at least one finger already enclosed by a glove finger. For example, the signal glove 1 worn over a cycling glove or a winter glove. In this way, the signal glove 1 used particularly flexible and possibly combined with other functional gloves.

The signal glove 1 further includes a plurality of bulbs 2 at a first signal section 13-1 of the signal glove 1 are arranged, wherein the first signal section 13-1 extends in the illustrated applied state along an outer hand edge of the hand. Here, the outer hand edge extends along the side facing away from the ring finger of the little finger and along an outer side of the little finger associated metacarpal bone of the hand.

As below with reference to in the 3A - 4B illustrated embodiments, the lighting means can alternatively or in addition to a second signal section 13-2 be arranged, which extends in the applied state along an inner hand edge of the hand. In this case, the inner hand edge extends along the thumb-side side of the index finger and the index finger associated metacarpal bone.

By the arrangement of the bulbs 2 on an outer hand edge and / or on an inner hand edge is a good visibility of a hand signal for other road users who are in front of and behind the cyclist, even if the cyclist while the hand on the extended arm flat (ie with palm facing down ) extends to the side. This is in 2 exemplified by a situation in which a cyclist gives a hand signal to indicate a change of direction to the right. For a different road user behind the cyclist, the hand signal is through the at the first signal section 13-1 arranged bulbs 2 well visible even in poor visibility.

The bulbs 2 For example, they may include light emitting diodes (LEDs). Light emitting diodes are light and compact and therefore good in the signal section 13-1 . 13-2 integrated. In addition, a comparatively high luminosity can be achieved with light-emitting diodes in an energy-efficient manner.

In the in 1 Shown embodiment, the bulbs 2 in a first double row 21 along the first signal section 13-1 arranged. Such an arrangement of the bulbs 2 allowed in the applied state of the signal glove 1 a certain tolerance in the alignment of the first signal section 13-1 along the outer hand edge and / or the second signal portion along the inner hand edge. For example, if the first signal section slips a little around the outer hand edge, so that one of the rows of lamps from the first double row 21 is not directly visible from the rear with a flat outstretched hand, the other of the rows of light sources is particularly visible. In addition, by providing a first double row 13-1 of bulbs 2 the luminosity increased altogether. In addition, redundant bulbs are provided with the additional bulbs rich, for example, in the event that individual defective bulbs fail, and thus the reliability of the bulbs 2 increased overall.

The in the 1 and 2 illustrated signal glove 1 also has a second double row 22 of bulbs 2 on, which is substantially perpendicular to the first double row 21 runs.

In the embodiment shown, the second double row 22 of bulbs 2 at the attachment portion 11 arranged. In this embodiment, therefore, must on the signal glove 1 no additional sections for the arrangement of the second double row 22 be provided by bulbs.

In a further development (not shown), the signal glove 1 additionally comprise a third signal portion and / or a fourth signal portion, wherein the third signal portion extends in the applied state along the back of the hand, and the fourth signal portion extends in the applied state along the palm. Here, for example, the second double row 22 of bulbs 2 be arranged on the third or fourth signal portion.

The second double row 22 of bulbs 2 can ensure that a hand gesture of a cyclist to indicate a change of direction is also clearly visible to other road users, even if the hand assumes a tilted position in which the outer hand edge does not, as in 2 shown, exactly to the rear (or the inner hand edge not exactly forward) show. Even in the case that during the hand gesture of the back of the hand and the palm of the hand pointing forward, other road users in front of or behind the cyclist at least the second double row 22 of bulbs 2 detect.

In the in 1 shown situation, the lighting means are in a first lighting state L1. For example, the bulbs 2 in the first lighting state L1 emit a constant light signal. Thus, the first lighting condition, for example, continuously contribute to better visibility of the cyclist.

On the signal glove 1 an activation device (not shown) is provided, with which the lighting means can be turned on.

In one variant, the activation device comprises a switch, which thus acts on the signal glove 1 is arranged that it is operable in the applied state with the thumb of the hand. For example, the switch may be provided in the area of the thumb-side of the index finger. Such an arrangement of the activation device allows, for example, a convenient operation for switching on the lighting means 2 without having to take the other hand for help and, for example, have to be taken off the bicycle handlebar.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the lighting means 2 between at least a first lighting state L1 and at least one second lighting state L2 switchable, wherein the lighting means emit light in the first lighting state and the second lighting state with a different intensity, color and / or duration of light. In this case, a difference in the light intensity, for example, also mean that the bulbs 2 in the first luminous state L1 or in the second luminous state L2 no light (ie, light with vanishing intensity) emit, whereas the lighting means 2 In the second luminous state L2 or in the first luminous state L1, light with finite intensity emit.

In a variant, for example, the first lighting state L1 is a constant lighting of the lighting means 2 be provided. The first lighting state L1 can be achieved, for example, by relatively long pressing of a signal glove 1 provided switch are turned on. The switching on of a second luminous state L2, for example, by a conspicuous flashing of the bulbs 2 can be characterized, for example, by means of one in the region of a hand edge on the signal glove 1 arranged pressure switch, which can be actuated by striking the hand edge of the bicycle handlebar.

In another variant, the signal glove includes 1 a contact element (not shown), which is arranged and formed, in the applied state, the lighting means 2 automatically switch to the at least one first lighting state L1, when the hand engages around a bicycle handlebar grip (see. 1 ) and the bulbs 2 to automatically switch to the at least one second luminous state L2 when the hand does not grip the bicycle handlebar grip (cf. 2 ). For example, the contact element is designed as a pressure switch or pushbutton and arranged on the palm so that it is constantly held when gripping the bicycle handlebar grip in a first switching position and thus maintains the lighting state L1 until the hand is removed from the bicycle handlebar grip and the contact switch or button lack of counterpressure passes through the bicycle handlebar handle in a second luminous state L2 corresponding second switching position. In another variant, the contact element may be part of an electrical contact bridge, which is closed when the bicycle handlebar is gripped and otherwise opened, wherein the first lighting state L1 or the second lighting state L2 is implemented as a function of the closed or opened state of the contact bridge. For this purpose, for example, a conductive bridge section may be provided on the bicycle handle.

By the use of a contact element described above, e.g. for giving hand signals for indicating an intended change of direction, a particularly conspicuous lighting state L2 should be provided, while in normal driving straight ahead e.g. a less conspicuous lighting state L1 may be provided.

In a further variant it can be provided that the signal glove 1 a distance measuring device (not shown in the figures) for determining a distance between the signal glove 1 and an external datum, such as another signal glove 1 or part of a bicycle. In this case, the distance measuring device can in particular have a receiving device and / or a transmitting device for receiving or transmitting a line-less transmitted signal, such as an ultrasonic, radar, infrared and / or laser signal. The distance measurement can for example be based on the signal by means of a transit time or phase position measurement.

The signal glove may also have a control device (not shown in the figures), which is designed to switch the lighting means between the at least one first lighting state and the at least one second lighting state depending on a distance between the signal glove and the external reference point determined by the distance measuring device ,

Also, by the use of such a distance measuring device may be for giving hand signals for indicating an intended direction change, wherein the distance between the signal glove 1 and the outer reference point, which is formed for example by a part of a bicycle, for example, be provided a particularly conspicuous lighting condition, while in normal driving, for example, a less conspicuous lighting condition can be provided.

In the in 2 Turning situation shown are the bulbs 2 of the signal glove 1 in the second lighting state L2, in which the lighting means 2 eg deliver a flashing light signal. Thus, the bulbs 2 in the second luminous state L2, which is more conspicuous in comparison with the first luminous state L1, develop a special signal effect, for example for underlining a hand sign when turning.

The 3A and 4A each show a plan view of a signal applied to a left hand signal glove 1 with bulbs 2 , In both illustrated embodiments, the bulbs 2 each in a first double row 21 at the second signal section 13-2 as well as in a second double row 22 at the attachment portion 11 arranged.

The finger section 12 has a tubular portion in the embodiments shown.

In an in 3A and 3B shown first use position of the finger portion 12 The index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the hand extend through the tubular portion. This is particularly clear from the in 3B shown cross-sectional view, in which on the right side of the thumb and then to the left then the other fingers of the hand are shown. Here it becomes clear that the mentioned middle three fingers pass through the tubular section of the finger section 12 extend through. and their circumference are completely enclosed by the tubular portion. Such a first use position, for example, a particularly reliable fit of the signal glove 1 effect on the hand.

In contrast, the show 4A and 4B as an alternative to the first use position of the finger portion 12 a second use position. In this case, the tubular portion is folded in such a way that it assumes a semi-tubular and double-walled shape and, as in the cross-sectional view in 4B represented, the index finger and the middle finger around its circumference in half enclosing something.

For example, the tubular portion may be made in part of a comparatively rigid material, such as a plastic, but having a weakening along which the tubular portion in the in FIG 4B shown manner can be folded into each other. The weakening may be, for example, an area of the signal glove 1 be made of a textile material or leather. The comparatively stiff material may cause the finger portion 12 safely on the index finger and the middle finger, or for example only on the index finger, rests.

The second use position may be particularly suitable, for example, for cases in which the signal glove 1 is worn over another glove.

In the basis of the 3A - 4B explained embodiment, depending on the use position tubular or half tube-shaped portion encloses the index finger depending on the use position wholly or partially, wherein the finger portion 12 a part of the second signal section 13-2 having.

However, it is also an embodiment conceivable in which the tubular or semi-tubular depending on the position of use completely or partially encloses the little finger of the hand, wherein the finger portion 12 at least part of the first signal section 13-1 having.

The in the 3A - 4B illustrated signal glove 1 includes another finger portion connected to the attachment portion 12 which completely encloses the thumb with a tubular portion in the lateral periphery. In this way, for example, a secure attachment of the signal glove on the thumb of the hand done without the mobility of the remaining fingers is unnecessarily limited.

The 5A - 5B show a further embodiment of a signal glove 1 with bulbs 2 , In 5A is the signal glove 1 , which is placed on a left hand, shown in a view from above. The finger section 12 is formed as a loop and encloses all fingers of the hand with exceptions of the thumb in the lower finger approaches. The fingertips remain free in this embodiment. As based on the 5B clearly recognizable, the fingers extend through this loop 12 therethrough.

At the first signal section 13-1 in the area of the outer hand edge is also a (simple) series with bulbs 2 , For example, light-emitting diodes arranged. At the attachment section 11 is also a double row of bulbs 2 provided, as in 5C shown substantially perpendicular to the row with bulbs 2 at the first signal section 13-1 runs. The double row of bulbs extends 2 essentially along the in 5C shown inside of the attachment section 11 ,

The attachment section 11 includes a closing element 11-1 which is formed in the embodiment as a tab, wherein the tab may be provided for example with a hook-and-loop portion. A complementary Velcro portion, for example, laterally on the attachment portion 11 or on the front of the attachment section 11 be arranged. With the closing element 11-1 can, for example, by connecting the Velcro sections, a tight fit of the attachment portion 11 be made on the hand.

At the in 5C shown embodiment is on the attachment portion 1 in the region of the closing element, a switch as an activation device for the lighting means 2 intended. For example, a slide switch, a rocker switch, a push button, a button, a Sensor switch and / or a contact switch may be provided as an activation device.

The 6A - 6C show a further embodiment of a signal glove 1 with bulbs 2 in different views, which will be referred to collectively below.
