Abstract

The rear view mirror (1) for a cyclist is attached by a ball joint (3) to the end of an arm (2). The other end of this is attached by a second ball joint (4) to a support (5, 6) which fits on to a cycling helmet. Alternatively the support may be in the form of a three-pronged fork which fits over the front or arm of a pair of spectacles.

Description

<U>Dispositif rétroviseur pour cyclistes.</U> La présente invention, comme son propre titre l'indique concerne un petit rétroviseur qui une fois fixé sur le casque ou sur les lunettes du cycliste lui permet d'avoir une vision postérieure, particulièrement du côté gauche, pour pouvoir ainsi observer les véhicules allant le doubler et pouvant constituer un danger pour sa sécurité. <U> Rear view mirror device for cyclists. </ U> The present invention, as its own title indicates, relates to a small rearview mirror which once fixed on the helmet or on the cyclist's glasses allows it to have a posterior vision, particularly on the left, to be able to observe the vehicles going to overtake him and that could constitute a danger for his security.

Dans notre pays il existe un taux élevé d'accidents où des cyclistes<B>y</B> sont involucrés, la plupart d'entre eux sont graves ou mortels, car la structure du véhicule est pratiquement le propre corps du cycliste. Outre les mesures d'éducation des conducteurs, la meilleure mesure est sans doute le fait d'offrir un moyen au propre cycliste, lui permettant d'observer s'il peut être atteint par un véhicule au moment de le doubler, car c'est toujours mieux pour lui d'abandonner la chaussée que d'être renversé par une automobile. Les rétroviseurs conventionnels, similaires<B>à</B> ceux installés sur d'autres véhicules ne son pas adéquats pour la competition ni pour les coureurs amateurs, car ils soustraient de la vitesse, en faisant que d'autres éléments accessoires beaucoup plus légers et moins encombrants soient nécessaires et que le cyclistes lui-même puisse les installer et les ôter<B>à</B> volonté et que malgre cela ils lui permettent une vision adéquate. In our country there is a high rate of accidents where <B> y </ B> cyclists are involved, most of them are serious or fatal, because the structure of the vehicle is practically the cyclist's own body. In addition to driver education measures, perhaps the best measure is to provide a means for the rider to see if he can be reached by a vehicle at the time of overtaking. always better for him to abandon the road than to be overturned by an automobile. Conventional mirrors, similar to those installed on other vehicles, are not suitable for competition or for amateur runners, because they subtract from speed, making other accessory elements much more difficult. Lightweight and less bulky are needed and the cyclist himself can install and remove <B> to </ B> will and that despite that they allow him an adequate vision.

Ce dispositif comprend une tige allongée incorporant <B>à</B> l'extrémité antérieure un miroir monté sur un accouplement en rotule, tandis quà extrémité postérieure elle présente aussi un accouplement en rotule pour un moyen de fixation au casque ou aux lunettes du cycliste. Lorsque le dispositif est fixé sur le casque on prévoit une plaque adhérisee <B>à</B> celui- ci, ayant une saillie d'une cavité homologue une autre présente sur le support, de manière que les deux éléments s'accouplent et se séparent par bouvetage d'une façon très simple. Lorsque la fixation est effectuée sur les lunettes du cycliste ce support présente une terminaison en forme de trident, dont les pattes sont interposées des deux côtés de la structure ou de la branche des lunettes, dont son placement et retrait sont aussi très simples. This device comprises an elongated rod incorporating <B> at the front end a mirror mounted on a ball coupling, while at the rear end it also has a ball joint coupling for a means of attachment to the helmet or to the goggles. cyclist. When the device is attached to the helmet there is provided a plate adhered <B> to </ B> thereof, having a projection of a homologous cavity another present on the support, so that the two elements mate and separate in a very simple way. When fixing is performed on the cyclist's glasses this support has a trident-shaped termination, the legs are interposed on both sides of the structure or the branch of the glasses, whose placement and removal are also very simple.

On comprendra mieux l'objet de la présente invention <B>à</B> l'aide de la description suivante effectuee sur la base d'un exemple pratique de réalisation; cette description est réalisée sur la base des dessins des plans annexes, où: La figure<B>1</B> représente un dispositif retroviseur pour cyclistes dans toutes les vues, levée, plan et profil. The object of the present invention will be better understood from the following description made on the basis of a practical example of embodiment; this description is made on the basis of the drawings of the attached plans, where: Figure <B> 1 </ B> represents a mirror device for cyclists in all views, lift, plane and profile.

La figure 2 représente le dispositif de la figure antérieure placé sur le casque du cycliste. Figure 2 shows the device of the previous figure placed on the helmet of the cyclist.

La figure3 montre une variante du dispositif antérieur sur les deux vues en levée et profil. Figure 3 shows a variant of the previous device on both views in lift and profile.

La figure 4 montre le dispositif de la figure antérieure placé sur la structure des lunettes du cycliste. Figure 4 shows the device of the anterior figure placed on the frame of the cyclist's glasses.

En faisant référence<B>à</B> n"importe quelle figure, on observe que ce dispositif est constitué d'une tige allongée (2) présentant<B>à</B> l'extrémité antérieure un miroir<B>(1),</B> les deux éléments étant accouplés dans une rotule<B>(3)</B> permettant la rotation de ce deuxième élément avec une grande liberté de mouvement. l'extrémité opposée, cette tige (2) incorpore, dans autre union en rotule (4) un élément support permettant la fixation de celle-ci au caque ou aux lunettes du cycliste. Referring to <B> to </ B> any figure, it is observed that this device consists of an elongated rod (2) presenting <B> to </ B> the anterior end a mirror <B> (1), </ B> the two elements being coupled in a ball joint <B> (3) </ B> allowing the rotation of this second element with a great freedom of movement, the opposite end, this rod (2) incorporates, in another ball joint union (4), a support element enabling it to be fastened to the cyclist's ring or spectacles.

En faisant référence maintenant aux figures<B>1</B> et 2, on observe le support de ce dispositif casque<B>(7)</B> du cycliste, formé par une plaque<B>(6)</B> adhérisee <B>à</B> celui-ci et présentant du côté extérieur une saillie ou cavité homologue<B>à</B> une autre existante sur le supporte<B>(5)</B> de manière que les deux éléments soient accouplés ou séparés entre eux par bouvetage, la plaque<B>(6)</B> demeurant unie au casque<B>(7),</B> tandis que lensemble dispositif <B>à</B> partir du terminal<B>(5)</B> peut être placé position ou gardé en cas de non utilisation de celui-ci. Referring now to Figures <B> 1 </ B> and 2, we observe the support of this helmet device <B> (7) </ B> of the cyclist, formed by a plate <B> (6) </ B> adhered <B> to </ B> this and having on the outside a protrusion or cavity homologous <B> to </ B> another existing on the support <B> (5) </ B> so that the two elements are coupled or separated from each other by means of a cap, the plate <B> (6) </ B> remaining united to the helmet <B> (7), </ B> while the device assembly <B> to </ B> from the terminal <B> (5) </ B> can be placed position or kept in case of non use of it.

En faisant maintenant référence aux figures<B>3</B> et 4, on<B>y</B> observe une modification du support destiné sur ce casque<B>à</B> sa fixation sur des lunettes<B>(9),</B> en étant constitué pour cela par une terminaison<B>(8) à</B> la manière de trident, dont les pattes sont intercalées d'un côté ou de l'autre de la structure frontale des lunettes ou de la branche latérale, la tige (2) faisant saillie latéralement et frontalement dans les deux cas, le miroir<B>(1)</B> demeurant dans une position telle que le cycliste<B>y</B> voit réfléchit la partie postérieure du côté correspondant, généralement le côté gauche. Referring now to Figures <B> 3 </ B> and 4, <B> y </ B> observes a modification of the support for this helmet <B> to </ B> its attachment to glasses <B > (9), </ B> being constituted for this purpose by a termination <B> (8) to </ B> the manner of trident, whose legs are interposed on one side or the other of the structure frontal view of the glasses or the lateral branch, the rod (2) projecting laterally and frontally in both cases, the mirror <B> (1) </ B> remaining in a position such that the cyclist <B> y </ B sees reflected the posterior part of the corresponding side, usually the left side.
