Definitions
- the invention relates to a bicycle front light.
- Bicycle front lights are known which are fed by an electric dynamo. Furthermore, bicycle front lights are known which have a power supply from batteries. There are also bicycle lights with batteries or rechargeable batteries that have a plug or clamp attachment. To avoid theft, they can be taken by the cyclist when the bicycle is parked.
- Bicycle computers are also known which determine and display speeds, distances, times, navigation data and physiological data of the user. Such bicycle computers are also available with plug or clamp mounting, so that they can be easily heard and taken away by the bicycle during cycling breaks. These bike computers are equipped with an LCD display that is difficult to read in the dark.
- attaching additional equipment to the bike is annoying and having to carry more equipment during breaks is annoying.
- the object of the invention is to reduce the effort for assembly and handling of bicycle front lights and bicycle computers and to improve the legibility of bicycle computers in the dark.
- the object is achieved by a bicycle front light with the features of claim 1.
- Advantageous configurations of the bicycle front light are specified in the subclaims.
- the bicycle front light has a light housing, an electrical illuminant arranged therein behind a light exit opening, a fastening device for fastening the light housing to a bicycle and a mini computer arranged in the light housing with a computer display on an outside of the light housing.
- a bicycle computer is integrated in the bicycle front light and the bicycle front light has a computer display.
- Bicycle front light and bicycle computer can be attached and removed together. The effort for additional facilities and assembly parts is reduced.
- the electrical power supply can also be simplified. Both the lighting and the computer function are available to the cyclist.
- the electrical power supply of the electric light source and the mini computer can be produced by means of a bicycle dynamo and an electrical control system, if necessary using batteries.
- the electrical illuminant and the mini computer are connected to and / or connectable to the same power supply.
- the electrical light source and the mini computer are connected to at least one electrical battery arranged in the light housing and / or an electrical accumulator arranged therein. The power supply is then completely integrated into the bicycle front light.
- the computer display is an LCD display that can work in a particularly energy-saving manner.
- an electrical illuminant for illuminating the computer display is assigned to the computer display in the lamp housing. The computer display is then easy to read even in the dark.
- the electrical illuminant arranged behind the light exit opening is also assigned to the computer display or illuminates it.
- the electric illuminant then has the dual function of illuminating the travel routes and the computer display.
- a bright halogen lamp or krypton lamp is used as the electrical illuminant.
- the computer display can have its own housing, which is separated from or rigidly connected to the lamp housing, e.g. over at least one footbridge.
- the computer display is integrated into the outside of the lamp housing.
- the computer display is arranged on the top of the lamp housing. According to one embodiment, it is arranged in a desk-like section of the lamp housing which is inclined towards the driver.
- the bicycle front light is provided with at least one electrical operating device for switching on or off and / or regulating the at least one electrical lamp and / or switching on and / or switching off and / or operating the mini computer.
- a device for attaching the bicycle front light to an underside of the light housing is provided.
- the invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing of an embodiment.
- the drawing shows:
- Figure 1 shows the bicycle front light in a perspective top view obliquely from above.
- Figure 2 shows the same bicycle front light in a perspective from the front and from the side.
- Fig. 3 the same bicycle front light mounted on a bicycle handlebar in a perspective view obliquely from above.
- the bicycle front light has a light housing 1, which essentially has the shape of a flattened tube.
- the luminaire housing 1 has a light outlet opening 2 at the front and is closed by a housing wall 3 at the rear.
- the electrical illuminant 4 is arranged approximately at the focal point of a reflector 5, which opens toward the light exit opening 2.
- a desk-like section 6 On the top of the lamp housing 1 there is a desk-like section 6 in the rear part, which is inclined to the rear.
- a computer display 7 is integrated into the top of the desk-like section 6.
- the luminaire housing 1 there is also a mini computer, which is not shown in the drawings. It is a bicycle computer which is able to determine speeds and / or times and / or distances and / or navigation data and / or physiological data (eg pulse rate and / or blood pressure) or to display them by means of the computer display 7.
- the computer display 7 is, for example, an LCD display which is illuminated by the electrical illuminant 4.
- light passages from the electrical illuminant 4 to the top of the computer display 7 are present in the interior of the luminaire housing 1, or illuminants 4 and computer display 7 are connected via an optical fiber.
- a separate electrical illuminant is assigned to the top of the lamp display.
- a switch 8 is integrated in the rear wall 3, which enables the lighting means 4, the mini computer and the computer display 7 to be switched on and off.
- the lighting means 4 the mini computer and the computer display 7 to be switched on and off.
- the outside of the lamp housing 1 further - not shown - controls for operating the mini computer are integrated.
- the underside of the lamp housing 1 is provided with a conventional holder 9 with a C-groove for sliding onto a rail of a counterpart fastened to the bicycle.
- the bicycle computer is coupled to a speed sensor, which is not shown in the drawing.
- the connection of the speed sensor or other sensors, for example for tapping physiological data, is preferably carried out via the holder 9 and contacts integrated therein.
- FIG 3 shows the bicycle front light with the light housing 1 attached to a bicycle handlebar 10, so that the computer display 7 is viewed by the cyclist. that can. Illumination of the computer display 7 is ensured at night. During breaks, the cyclist can easily remove and secure the bicycle front light with the integrated bicycle computer.
