Description

I
Vehicle Safety Device
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a safety device for hand-throttle controlled vehicles particularly of those commonly referred to as a motor cycle or motorbike. More specifically it relates to a device for temporarily disabling the throttle of a motorbike. The present invention is generally useful for any machine requiring a cable-operated throttle controller but is especially useful for single track, two-wheeled road machines due to inherent stability problems when a user loses control e.g. as a consequence of a road-wheel skid event. However, for ease of reference the invention will be described in relation to a motorbike. The safety device to be more particularly described hereinafter may be used to significant advantage for a motorbike with an automatic transmission.
Background to the Invention
Motorbikes, scooters and other single track, two-wheeled vehicles are commonly equipped with a hand-operated throttle control. The throttle control is normally operated by twisting an outer portion of the handlebar (so-called "twist-grip"). Hand-operated brake levers are also commonly provided, these being mounted in front of the handlebar to allow palm pressure on the handlebar coupled with finger application to the brake lever to actuate the brake(s) by a gripping action of the hand.
For maximum braking efficiency, the rider must relinquish his grip of the handlebar mounted throttle control, before operating the brake lever(s).
On bikes with a manually operated gearbox, it is also possible to disengage the clutch, which disconnects the engine from the transmission and drive wheel. Motorbikes with an automatic gearbox have no rider-controlled clutch with which to disengage the power output from the engine to the driving wheel.
A consequence of the activities just described and the machine features and capabilities of the motor bike, is that in an abnormal event such as emergency braking, or loss of grip of a road wheel arising for other reasons such as icy or wet road, diesel or lubricant spillage etc. a rider may aggravate the loss of control by tightening of grip upon the throttle leading to unintended increase in engine speed and acceleration of the loss of grip by the driven road wheel.
An object of the present invention is to obviate or mitigate the aforesaid difficulty in control during an abnormal event.
Summary of the Invention
The ability to control a hand-throttle controlled machine is improved according to the invention which provides a throttle response inhibitor device comprising coupling means operatively connected to a throttle cable and configured to respond to an electromagnetic signal by coupling or decoupling the throttle cable.
Preferably, the electromagnetic signal is delivered as a consequence of a user initiated event such as application of a braking device. The application of the braking device normally activates a brake light signal for following road users. The electrical circuit for the brake light signalling system can be configured to cause a de-coupling effect when the braking device is activated.
The coupling device may comprise electromagnetic components, which may take the form of corresponding parts designed to cooperate by an interference fit, e.g. male-female interacting parts. The coupling device may comprise a housing within which the corresponding parts are situated and configured to attach to throttle cable ends to form a selectively separable union thereof.
Typically, the coupling device will be positioned between a twist-grip control on a handle bar of a motorbike, and an engine speed regulator, and attached to a throttle cable extending from the twist-grip control, through the coupling device to the engine speed regulator.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a device connected to the throttle control, which deactivates the throttle control on application of the brake. Normal throttle operation is resumed when the brake(s) are released.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for use on a vehicle having an engine, throttle control, and braking system, the throttle control and engine being operably connected by means of a cable, the braking system being operably connected to an electrical circuit which is in electrical contact with a electrical relay of the device, the device comprising the throttle cable, a coupling portion on at least one end of the cable, the coupling portion being inside a casing, and the casing being in electrical communication with the relay.
Embodiments of the present invention provide controlled operation of the throttle, such that mechanical communication between one end of the cable and another end of the cable can be controlled. It is possible to engage and disengage coupling portions of the cable.
Typically there are two coupling portions, one male and one female portion, in addition to the end of the cable attached to the throttle control and another end attached to the engine.
Typically, at least one coupling portion is an electromagnet and the other portion is made of material that is releasably attracted to the electromagnet. The material can be magnetically susceptible.
Optionally the device is a co-axial coupling, comprising an electromagnetic female portion and magnetically susceptible male portion.
Typically the electrical circuit includes a power supply and illumination means, the illumination means providing an indication to other road users that the operator of the vehicle has applied at least one brake to a road wheel of the vehicle.
Typically the illumination means is a bulb and lens device.
Optionally the power supply has an electrical potential of between 8 and 14 volts. Typically the electrical potential is 12 volts.
Embodiments of the present invention ensure the throttle control is inoperable during application of the brake and that throttle control is restored when the brake is released.
Optionally the device can be fitted to a motorbike, or other single track, two-wheeled vehicle, commonly equipped with a hand-operated throttle control. The use of the safety device in motorcycle and sidecar combinations is possible. The safety device is especially suitable for use on a motorbike with an automatic transmission.
The device may be retrofitted to an existing machine by exposing the throttle cable at a suitable position, cutting same to expose free ends, and attaching the coupling device to the free ends to form a new controllable union. Alternatively, the device may be supplied as a replacement throttle control or fitted at factory assembly.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of disconnecting a throttle control and engine of a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: (a) adapting a cable mechanism for use between the throttle control and an engine speed regulator by installing a coupling device therein that is configured to be responsive to an electromagnetic signal; (b) supplying an electrical potential to an electrical circuit, the circuit being operably connected to a vehicle braking system and said coupling device in the throttle cable; (c) activating the device in communication with the throttle cable to disconnect the throttle control and engine; (d) deactivating the device and reconnecting the throttle control and engine.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the device of method step (b) can include at least one coupling portion that responds to the signal.
Optionally the device includes two coupling portions, one being an electromagnet and the other being made of a material that is releasably attracted to the electromagnet. The material can be magnetically susceptible.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the electrical potential of method step (b) can be provided by the electrical circuit of the vehicle brake light.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to and as shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:-Figure 1 is a sectional view of a safety device in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the throttle control and engine being operably connected.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of a safety device in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the throttle control and engine being disconnected.
Figures 1 and 2 show the same embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1 the throttle control and engine are operably connected, in Figure 2 the throttle control and engine are disconnected.
Figure 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a device 10 in accordance with the present invention. Although the exemplary safety device 10 will be described with reference to application thereof to a motorcycle, it should be understood that that a device in accordance with the present invention may be applied to any vehicle with a cable operated throttle.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a motorcycle safety device 10 comprising a male coupling portion 11 and female coupling portion 12 inside casing 13. Attached to the coupling portion 11 is part of the throttle control cable 20, the part of the cable 20 is attached to a twist grip throttle on the handlebar of the motorcycle (not shown).
Attached to coupling portion 12 is part. of the throttle cable 21, the part of the cable 21 is attached to a carburettor of the motorcycle (not shown).
A nylon sleeve 26 abuts coupling portion 12. Coupling portion 11 fits inside coupling portion 12 and is able to move longitudinally inside the sleeve 26. The skilled reader will realise that the nylon sleeve 26 in accordance with this embodiment of the present invention, may be any other material capable of insulating coupling portion 11 from the casing 13.
The portions of throttle cable 20 and 21 are surrounded respectively by portions of protective sleeve 24 and 25 which pass through end portions 22 and 23 respectively of the casing 13.
The wires 14 are embedded in the casing 13 in the form of coils, the coils are supplied with an electrical current that passes through the wires. As the current passes through the wires 14 a magnetic field is generated.
The magnetic field extends from the coils of wires 14 embedded in the casing 13 to act upon the coupling portions 11 and 12. The coupling portions 11 and 12 can be mate and female or any other suitable configured attachment means.
Electrical current can be supplied to the wires 14 via connections 15 and 16. These electrical connections 15 and 16 are in electrical communication with a relay 17. Also in electrical communication with the relay 17, is an electrical supply 18 from the ignition system of the motorcycle and an electrical supply 19 from the brake light of the motorcycle.
Without an electrical supply 19 from the brake light, the supply of electrical current to the casing 13 is maintained and the coupling portions 11 and 12 are engaged. In this configuration, movement of the part of the throttle cable 20 attached to the twist grip throttle (not shown) is translated to the part of the throttle cable 21 attached to the carburettor (not shown).
Figure 2 shows all the same features as figure 1, except the coupling portions 11 and 12 are disengaged.
In use, the magnetised coupling portions 11 and 12 remain in contact, as long as there is no electrical feed to the brake-light. This contact. is activated by the main ignition live feed, which on intervention of the relay switch 17, becomes inactive when the brake-light illuminates.
The throttle cable 20 and 21 remains inactive as long as the ignition is off.
When the 12 volt supply of the motorbike is applied to the positive-and negative-charged coils 14, the male and female coupling portions 11 and 12 are electromagnetically connected.
Upon activation of the brake-light the relay switch disconnects the electrical supply to the embedded coils 14, so separating the coupling portions 11 and 12. The carburettor spring (not shown) ensures separation of the coupling portions; the throttle cable is then non-functional. A silicon-lubricated nylon sleeve 26 ensures smooth operation during normal and emergency situations.
