JP3186211U - Direction indicator - Google Patents

Abstract

A direction indicator for a bicycle having a function of knowing the course of the bicycle by blinking of an illumination lamp and sound even when viewed by a pedestrian.
An arch-type grip 1 is provided on the left and right of a handle, and several illumination lamps 6 are arranged on the outer periphery. The left and right turns are indicated by blinking of the illuminating lamps, and an instruction to turn left or right by voice is simultaneously generated by the speaker 3 provided at the tip of the grip. Thereby, since a warning can be shown to a pedestrian, a car, etc., safety can be secured.

Description

The present invention relates to a direction indicator in traveling of a two-wheeled vehicle or a multi-wheeled vehicle.

Since the conventional direction indicator has a mechanical structure, it takes a place for installation and is dangerous because it protrudes from the width of the vehicle, and it is difficult to see from the front and rear of the bicycle especially at night. (See Patent Document 1).
There is also a direction indicator that illuminates with electrical wiring (see Patent Document 2).
Recently, there are various shapes for the steering wheel, and the rear part of the bicycle is sometimes narrow and difficult to install, and the electrical wiring is exposed to the outside and is difficult to see.
There is a direction indicator that illuminates by inserting a battery into the handle grip as in (Patent Document 3), but there is also an indicator that cannot be seen from the front depending on the shape of the handle with only one illumination. It is dangerous to change direction while driving silently.

If an arch-type grip is attached, only the grip part of the handle can be installed, and it can be installed easily without getting in the way at an easy-to-see position.

Since electrical wiring is only inside the arched grip, there is no need to wire outside the bicycle.

Since the lighting means is attached to the full width of the bicycle, it is easy to see from the front, side, and rear.

It is safe because the bicycle can be operated with just the thumb while holding both hands on the arched grip while avoiding one-handed driving for safe driving.

Means to solve the problem

The first means of the present invention is provided with a support portion in FIG.
It is a direction indicator that arranges illumination lamps on the outer periphery and blinks a right turn lamp when turning right and a left turn lamp when turning left by operating a switch.

The second means is to make a sound generation means at the end of the grip of claim 1 and operate the switch to turn right or turn right when turning right, turn left or turn left when turning left. It is claim 2 which generates a sound and warns.

(3) (Claim 4) (Claim 3) (Claim 3) (Claim 4) (Claim 3) (Claim 3) (Claim 3) (Claim 4) (Claim 3) 5) is a feature of the present invention.

Effect of the invention

The arch-type grip of the present invention does not require any external wiring, has a simple structure and can be attached to anyone, and since it is attached to the full width of the vehicle, it is easy to see from anywhere, and the lighting means and sound generation means are activated simultaneously. , Because the direction is changed after advance notice that the bicycle will change direction without notice while driving silently, even during dangerous night driving, it is safe to operate the switch with just the thumb while holding both hands .

The handle grip attached to the bicycle is removed, and the arch type grip 2 of claim 1 is attached to both ends of the handle.

The battery housing case 2 is inserted into the arch grip 1 of FIG. 2, the battery, the sound generating chip and the speaker 3 are inserted, and the housing cap 4 is put on the lid to assemble.

Several illumination lamps 6 are arranged on the outer periphery of the support part of the arch-type grip 1, and the outer peripheral cover 5 is attached to the outer periphery.

Arch type grip When the switch 7 provided in FIG. 2 is activated, the illumination lamp 5 blinks to emit right or left turn light, and at the same time, the sound generation chip and the speaker 3 generate right or left turn direction indication. It is a vessel.
