Description

DESCRIPTION

Light signaling system

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as the title of this descriptive report establishes, a light signaling system integrated into clothing, is an innovation that within current techniques provides advantages unknown until now.

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention falls within the sector of optical signaling systems, especially those that use visible light sources and/or flashing light.

Likewise, in the classification of clothing that corresponds to outer clothing, protective clothing and accessories, specifically those provided with reflective or luminous safety devices.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

The present invention arises in response to the need to improve the visibility and safety of motorcyclists and cyclists on the road.

This is because the observation of motorists and cyclists on the roads is difficult due to factors such as excessive traffic, the absence of light at night or unfavorable weather conditions, which can increase the probability of road accidents in those in which these vulnerable groups are involved.

Consequently, this invention seeks to improve the visibility and safety of motorcyclists and cyclists on the road by implementing a light signaling system integrated into safety clothing.

Currently, the existence of any light signaling system integrated into safety clothing is unknown, which presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is the creation of a light signaling system that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description.

The present invention is about a light signaling system integrated into clothing, which comprises at least one sensor capable of detecting when a vehicle is braking or turning and sending this information, through a wireless technology connection to a control device, responsible for turning on lights present in clothing.

This solves the problem of lack of visibility for motorcyclists and cyclists on the roads.

This system is very useful for signaling the maneuvers that motorcyclists and cyclists intend to perform, which will increase road traffic safety and reduce the probability of accidents.

The system has wireless technology that allows rapid detection and transmission of braking and turning signals, which guarantees an immediate response in the lights of the motorcyclist's or cyclist's safety clothing, increasing the visibility of the maneuvers of these users. of the tracks.

To use the system, the motorcyclist or cyclist must ensure that the clothing is equipped with the corresponding lights and take into account that the system works through wireless technology that communicates with the control device.

It is also important that the clothing is correctly adjusted to the body so that the detection of the signals is accurate. In this way, maneuvers can be effectively signaled, increasing the user's visibility on the road and improving their safety and that of other motorists.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

The light signaling system comprises at least one sensor (1) capable of detecting when the vehicle on which the user carrying the light signaling system is mounted brakes or turns and send this information, through a connection. wireless technology (3), to a control device (4), responsible for turning on lights (5) present in the clothing (6).

The electronic components are powered by an electrical power supply.

In a preferred embodiment, the sensor (1) is of the motion sensor, pressure sensor or acceleration sensor type or a combination of them inclusive, said sensor (1) being capable of detecting when the braking force is being applied. , the changes in acceleration or lateral movements that are intended to be made and, based on this data, send the appropriate and precise signal to the control device (4).

In the preferred embodiment, the sensor (1) is present in the vehicle (2) connected to the brake system configured to detect when the vehicle brake has been activated. This way, it is detected when the user brakes and automatically turns on the corresponding light signaling system.

In another preferred embodiment, the vehicle (2) is a bicycle or motorcycle.

Preferably, the wireless technology connection (3) is through Bluetooth.

Generally, the control device (4) is an independent electronic device, of the printed circuit board type, that is part of the clothing itself or the vehicle, said control device (4) being the one responsible for receiving the signals. of the motion sensor and send the appropriate signals that turn on the corresponding lights (5) at the right time.

Preferably, the lights (5) include lights approved by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), of the LEDS type, which include brake lights (5.1) and flashing lights (5.2). which turn on depending on the signals received from the sensor (1) processed by the control device (4).

Generally, the clothing (6) is a safety vest whose lights (5) provide high visibility.

Preferably, the brake light (5.1) is clearly visible on the back (6.1) of the clothing (6), while the flashing lights (5.2) coincide with the shoulder areas (6.2), capable of allowing greater visibility and safety on the road while driving the vehicle (2).

Preferably, the clothing (6) has a compartment that houses an electrical power source (7) of the rechargeable battery type, which can be replaced by another or that is easily rechargeable through a USB port (8).

Generally, the lights (5) can be adapted to any type of clothing or clothing, using hook and loop or sewing attachment means, among others.

In one embodiment, the control device (4) is connected to the turn signals of the vehicle in the event that it is a motorcycle, activating the turn signals (5.2) if the turn signals of the vehicle are turned on.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, Within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and to which the protection sought will also be achieved as long as its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified. .
