DESCRIPTION

Emergency light support for vehicles with handlebars

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention refers to a support for beacons or emergency lights for vehicles with handlebars, such as motorcycles, quads, mopeds or the like. This light is designed to be fixed to the handlebar of the vehicle and raised, without affecting maneuverability when it is pushed by a user or when it is parked due to an emergency, accident or breakdown on public roads.

STATE OF THE ART

The stop of a vehicle on the road due to breakdown or accident poses a serious risk to traffic. Accidents due to vehicles that are immobilized on the roads are very frequent, resulting in many cases, serious injuries or death of the occupants of the immobilized vehicle and even other vehicles involved. Therefore, it is vitally important to make these types of vehicles visible, quickly and safely.

The adapter support object of the present invention solves the problem of the need to signalize and warn motorcycles and mopeds before they are immobilized due to breakdown or accident and the lack of real and effective visibility of the vehicle, especially when the incident occurs due to at night, offering security to the driver, to the possible occupant of the immobilized vehicle and to the rest of the road users, while they wait for the arrival of the emergency services (tow truck, ambulance, etc.). It must be taken into account that these vehicles are not required to have their own emergency signal system in addition to the one integrated in the vehicle (simultaneous operation of all the vehicle's direction lights to warn that the vehicle temporarily represents a danger to other users of the road).

The existence of emergency lighting systems is known in the state of the art, such as those shown in ES1281949U or ES1287124U. These systems are designed to be attached to a part of a two or four wheeled vehicle and raise a light, which it is generally of the type called V16. A couple of examples of these lights can be seen in ES2932989A1 and ES1281784U.

Document ES1281949U is considered to be of the greatest interest, as it is intended for the same type of vehicles. It comprises a lower grip, a telescopic rod and a V16 light mount. This system is effective, but if the user wants to push the vehicle to move it, the bar itself prevents him from getting a proper grip on the handlebars. Therefore, either remove the light or leave the vehicle stopped in a point that can be dangerous.

The applicant is not aware of any solution similar to the claimed invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a support for emergency lights or beacons for vehicles with handlebars according to the claims. In its different embodiments, it solves the problems of the state of the art.

The emergency beacon requires, in vehicles with handlebars, a support that can be attached to the handlebar in order to be able to attach the emergency light or beacon to the opposite or upper end. Unlike the support shown in ES1281949U, the support of the invention has a "C" shape.

Preferably, the beacon is removable. To do this, it can carry a magnet and the support be ferromagnetic, at least in the area where the light is fixed.

In the preferred embodiment, the support is formed by a vertical extension with a handlebar grip at one end and a plate at the opposite end, the vertical extension being attached to the plate and the plate at their edges. The preferred form of handlebar grip is a plate and an elastic element that presses the handlebar against the plate. In this way, the plate and the plate form the horizontal arms of the "C" and the vertical extension forms the vertical section.

The preferred position of this light system is the left handlebar grip depending on the direction of movement in the country of use or, on one-way roads, the point where the vehicle has been stranded.

Other variants will be indicated in the rest of the specification.

MODES OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention is briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment example formed from the support (1) with a removable light (2). This light (2) can be of the type that has a fixing magnet at its base, to be coupled to the support (1), in which case the support (1) is ferromagnetic.

The support (1) is formed by a grip, in the form of a plate (11) with an elastic element (12). The elastic element (12) is designed to surround the handlebar of the vehicle, pressing it against the plate (11). At one edge of the plate (11) there is a vertical extension (13), which ends in a plate (14). The plate (14) is attached to the vertical extension (13) at one end, so that the support has a general "C" shape. Thus, the plate (14) is parallel and facing the grip, and the joint between Both are not central, but on one side, so that the grip and the plate (14) form the parallel sections of the "C" and the vertical extension (13) the vertical section. This allows the user to pass their arm between the grip and the plate (14) to better grip the handlebar and push the vehicle.

The plate (11) can be straight, but it is preferably curved. In addition, it can have a cover or non-slip treatment on the side that supports the handlebar. Likewise, the vertical extension (13) can be curved or straight. In this second case, it can be telescopic.

The light (2) may not be removable, but it is preferred that it be so in order to reuse the V16 products, which are highly common in the trade and already used in other vehicles, as an emergency light.

The light (2) is normally of the LED type, with a replaceable or rechargeable battery. The system can be completed with buttons for automatic or manual start-up, with means of warning by GPRS or another similar system that indicates to the emergency services the presence of a dangerous situation, etc.

Claims (1)

1- Emergency light support for vehicles with handlebars, attachable to a handlebar and a light (2) at the end of the support (1) opposite the handlebar, characterized by its "C" shape. 2- Emergency light support for vehicles with handlebars, according to claim 1, characterized in that the support (1) is ferromagnetic for connection to a light magnet (2). 3- Emergency light support for vehicles with handlebars, according to claim 1, characterized in that the support (1) is formed by a vertical extension (13) with a handlebar grip at one end and a plate (14) at the end. opposite end, the vertical extension (13) being attached to the plate (11) and to the plate (14) by their edges. 4- Emergency light support for vehicles with handlebars, according to claim 3, characterized in that the handlebar grip is a plate (11) and an elastic element (12) for tightening against the plate (11). 5- Emergency light support for vehicles with handlebars, according to claim 3, characterized in that the vertical extension (13) is straight and telescopic.
