Object of the invention: technical problem-proposed solution

Technical problem raised

Spanish regulations and countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, 40 Russia, Australia, the United States and Canada contemplate in their regulations for cyclists the unique use of the left arm, horizontal for the left and right angle indication with the hand up for the right indication.

The current indicator light systems are always installed or are inseparable part of garments, specific accessories, or are mounted by a fixed support on the bicycle.

Existing devices activate the indications only by means of buttons or buttons and housed in the handlebar by means of a fixed support. fifty

Specifically, the Spanish legislation contemplates the groups of cyclists that circulate in a row as a single vehicle.

Proposed solution

 5

It would therefore be desirable:

A device that only needed the movement of one arm to activate the indications.

 10

That your installation does not need the use of tools or complementary mechanical elements.

That the same device can be used in different vehicles, accessories and textile products. fifteen

That can be used by both an individual and a group.

For this, the present invention focuses on:

 twenty

That would allow the indications to be made only with the left arm, without the need for mechanical controls or push-buttons.

That it is not necessary to use tools or complementary mechanical elements for its installation. 25

A system of several independent versatile modules that we could apply to different vehicles, textile objects and accessories.

That it can be used by a group that circulates in a row where the first individual wears the bracelet and the last one carries the indicator module.

Detailed description of the invention

The present invention relates to a new device, with two independent programmable modules 35 applicable but not linked to garments or textile objects and accessories, communicated by bluetooth, where one of the modules is responsible for reading wrist movements and another It is responsible for generating three light signals, right indication, left indication and position. This device does not require mechanical controls or buttons to activate the light signals. 40

The new device is composed of a position reader and transmitter bracelet (module 1) and another electroluminescent (module 2), wirelessly communicated by bluetooth.

 Four. Five

The device recognizes the positions of the left wrist using module 1, and communicates them via bluetooth.

The device emits light signals of three types via module 2, left indication, right indication, both oranges and red position. fifty

The new device intended primarily for cyclists and motorcyclists is also applicable to people who travel by other means.

Examples of realization

 5

The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not intended to limit its scope:

Example 1

 10

A cyclist uses it alone, the construction, programming and application of the modules would be as follows:

Module 1: Built in a bracelet and placed on the left wrist, it reads the position of the arm using a sensor, checks and interprets it (horizontal, vertical or other) and is capable of issuing different messages describing the position.

Module 2: Built using an electroluminescent system with three groups of LEDs (two indicators and one of position) elongated, placed by means of an elastic element in the seat post, it is able to read the messages emitted by module 1 and act 20 accordingly to its programming (horizontal = Left light, vertical-Right light or other = Position light).

Example 2

 25

When the product is intended for the use of cyclists and installed in a long-sleeved garment, the construction, programming and application of the modules would be as follows:

Module 1: Built on a bracelet and placed on the left wrist, it reads position 30 of the arm using a sensor, checks it, interprets it and is capable of issuing different messages describing the position, (horizontal, vertical or other).

Module 2: Built using an electroluminescent system with three groups of LEDs (two indicators and one of position) elongated, integrable on the outside of the garment or accessory by means of magnets, it is capable of reading the messages emitted by module 1 and acting on consequence to its programming (horizontal = Left light, vertical-Right light or other-Position light).

Example 3 40

When the product is intended for the use of a cyclist and installed in a long-sleeved garment (sweatshirt), the construction, programming and application of the modules would be as follows:

 Four. Five

Module 1: Built in a bracelet and placed inside the left cuff of the garment, it reads the position of the wrist by means of a sensor, checks and interprets it and is capable of emitting different messages, (horizontal, vertical and other).

Module 2: Built using an electroluminescent system, applied inside the bottom 50 or on the garment, it is able to read the messages emitted by module 1 and act

accordingly to its programming (horizontal = Left light, vertical-Right light or other-Position light).
