Abstract

A bicycle security device consisting of a GPS tracking device and a locating tube integrated within a bicycle headset top cap. The GPS location tube has a conventional appearing upper cap to allow an unimpeded signal for an antenna. A separate bottom cap being located at the lower end of the tube. A securing bolt extending downward from said bottom cap and wholly out of the location tube engages with a deformable star nut to locate the GPS locating tube with the bicycle fork tube.  As no headset bolt passes through the upper cap and the global positioning tracker device there is more room to package the device and allow better positioning for an antenna aerial.  Should a thief steal the bicycle, the device will activate and notify the owner of the bicycle theft. It will transmit its GPS coordinates allowing the owner to locate their bicycle.

Description

Bicycle GPS Tracking System 1. This invention relates to an insert for the fork tube of a bicycle. The insert is arranged to house a UPS tracking system suitable for the protection of bicycles.
2. Bicycles are commonly stolen and are difficult to locate after theft. Installation of UPS trackers on bicycles is complicated by a number of factors. There are a lack of covert places a tracking device can be installed on a bicycle without being easily noticed. Bicycles are also subject to frequent vibrations and mechanical stress, making it difficult to fasten a GPS tracking device to the bicycle securely where it will not be damaged or come loose. UPS antennae need a clear view of the sky without obstruction from metal or carbon fibre meaning that GPS tracker antennae cannot be placed inside the tube framing of bicycles. Bicycles come in many variations depending on the type of bicycle and the owners preference making it difficult to incorporate a tracker into a single bicycle part that would suit all bikes.
3. One candidate for a covert GPS tracker location that overcomes the above difficulties is the bicycle headset top cap (See figure 1). This component always faces up towards the sky, it contains a secure fastening nut for securing a tracker and a tracker can be made that looks very similar to existing top cap designs making it difficult for a thief to detect. Most modern bicycles have top cap assemblies and they are not a critical or expensive component of the bicycle meaning bicycle owners will be more willing to accept a modified use of this part.
4. UPS tracking devices hidden within the Top Cap assembly have been proposed before (US Application No 11/423,001, Weichmann). However, US 11/423,001 has disadvantages. In particular, the Top Cap tracking device of US1 1/423,00 1 comprises a plastic tube with a bolt that passes centrally through the length of the tube and is used to secure the device to the bicycle frame. This central securing bolt causes several problems.
5. More specifically, the central securing bolt interferes with the UPS antenna.
The majority of bicycle fork tubes have an internal diameter of 25mm (F' 1/8).
When a typical 5mm central bolt is passed through the centre of this cavity there is little space left around the bolt to place a UPS antenna. UPS antennae performance is reduced as the antennae size is reduced so an antenna that could fit into the small remaining space would have reduced performance.
UPS antennae are affcctcd by close proximity to metal objects and if an antennae was positioned close to the bolt, its functionality would be reduced.
The central bolt also reduces the area available to house the electronics and battery as it passes through the entire tracker cavity in the above patent. This leaves only a narrow, irregular shaped space left to contain the tracker components.
6. In summary, the present application proposes a UPS tracking device and housing with the above limitations in mind. A tracking device is proposed that
I
is suitable for installation within the bicycle fork tube without a central locking bolt securing it to the bicycle.
7. In a standard bicycle headset assembly, the top cap bolt (see figure 2) is used to compress the bearings during installation and adjustment of the bicycle forks. Once the adjustment is complete and the stem bolts are tightened it is possible to remove the top cap bolt as it is no longer performing any function until adjustment is needed again.
8. Some advantages of the improved device in accordance with the present
disclosure are
a. The threadless bicycle headset is a standard feature on most bicycles.
b. No major parts of the owner's bicycle must be replaced when installing the tracker.
c. The bicycle headset has a cap that always faces the sky. This makes an excellent place to position a GPS antenna.
d. Because the securing bolt does not pass through the tracker, the entire volume of the tracker can be used to house the electronic circuitry and the antenna can be placed centrally facing upwards.
e. The headset design can aflow the tracker to be firmly secured to the bicycle using the existing star nut. An extra nut can be screwed up from the opposite end of the fork tube making the tracker more difficult to remove f. The device can enter a sleep mode when not in use, enabling very long battery life, and only wakes when the device detects that the bicycle light is being used.
g. Bicycle headset top caps are relatively inexpensive and not considered a critical component compared to other bicycle parts.
h. The device can be easily installed by end users or bicycle stores 9. Embodiments of the invention are now described by referring to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 Shows a typical bicycle frame, stem and handlebars arrangement with a threadless headset Figure 2 Shows a bicycle headset with integrated tracking device.
10. In embodiments, a plastic housing is created that comprises a plastic tube with a locking bolt that protrudes from the bottom but does not pass through the centre. (See figure 2) Using this method, the entire volume of the headset tube can then be used to house the tracker components and the entire diameter of the tube can be used to position the GPS antenna facing towards the sky.
II. In embodiments, the tracker will be shaped as a hollow plastic tube which shall be inserted into the top of the bicycle fork (See figure 2). A plastic cap shall fit onto the bottom of the tube and from the bottom of this cap a bolt shall protrude. A typical bicycle fork tube contains a star nut (or similar locking mechanism, see figure 2) 30mm down the fork tube. This nut may be pushed approx 100mm down the fork tube, allowing space for the tracker. The bolt that protrudes from the cap then screws into the star nut, making the device secure. An extra nut may optionally be added from the bottom of the fork tube making the tracker more difficult to remove.
12. The insert is tubular but the skilled person will understand that other shapes may be used.
13. The insert is made from plastic but the skilled person will understand that other material such as fibreglass or other non-conductive with good RF permeability materials may be used.
14. If the headset bearings need to be adjusted after the tracker has been installed, a 100mm bolt may be supplied with the tracker. The tracker can then be removed and the original top cap, together with the longer bolt can be used to compress the bearings as normal. The only difference to the original assembly is that the star nut is now further down the tube and a longer bolt is required.
15. An insert is constructed according to figure 2 which contains aGSM modem, a UPS module and a microcontroller on a printed circuit board. In embodiments, the top of the insert is shaped as a top cap with a slight curve and a depression in the middle. When a standard headset rubber plug is inserted into the depression. the cap shall look very similar to a standard bicycle headset top-cap. In this way, it shall be disguised to avoid suspicion.
16. This configuration of a Microcontroller, OSM Modem and UPS Module, when used to report a devices location, is commonly referred to as a "UPS Tracker'.
The device shall function as a UPS tracker and should be able to accept commands from a user from the USM modem, retrieve its location from the GPS module and report this location back to the user. This is standard practise according to the state of the art.
17. The device may be powered by a battery that is preferably rechargeable. The device may remain in a sleep state most of the time to prolong battery life. In this mode, using a typical low-power microprocessor, thc current consumption of the device can be maintained at less than 1 micro amp enabling years of operation from a small lithium ion battery.
18. The device can be activated or deactivated by the user when they wish to arm or disarm the unit. This can be done by holding a magnet over the top. When the magnet approaches the top cap, a sensor inside will detect it and the top cap will glow. After the magnet has been close to the top cap for 1 second, the device will flash. It may flicker to indicate the device is armed and display long steady flashes to indicate the device is disarmed. The device may also emit an audible sound to indicate arming and disarming. Other methods to remotely communicate with the device to activate and deactivate it may also be used including REID and wireless key fobs. The skilled person will understand that other methods for activating or deactivating the device may be employed.
19. When the device has been armed and movement has been detected, the device may connect to the GSM network and notify the owner via an SMS text message. This will give the owner an immediate notification that their bicycle is moving. The device shall then begin periodically uploading its location to a web server (e.g. every 30 seconds) allowing a detailed trace of the devices movements to be viewed by its owner. The owner shall be able to view a map online which shows a line tracing where the bicycle has been.
20. The device may also fall back to reporting its location via USM positioning if it is unable to obtain a GPS lock. GSM positioning triangulates the devices position based on the strength of the GSM signals it is receiving from nearby mobile phone towers. This is less accurate than GPS positioning but still provides the owner of an indication of where there bicycle is.
21. The device may also contain an audible alarm and/or RF transmitter which can be triggered by sending the device a text message. This may be useful in locating the device when its approximate whereabouts have been determined but it cannot be pinpointed due to it being inside a building, over a fence or otherwise not easily visible.
