Description

  The present invention relates to a bicycle ornament used by being attached to an appropriate part of a bicycle.

From the viewpoint of ensuring safety during traveling of the bicycle, various ornaments are attached to the bicycle so that the bicycle can be easily seen by vehicles and pedestrians. In particular, it has been proposed to attach ornaments to pedal parts and wheel parts that rotate during travel, since the effect of visual recognition from vehicles and pedestrians is greatly improved by attaching ornaments to the rotating part of the bicycle. . Among such things, there is the following Patent Document 1 as a typical example.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-24853 (Refer to Claims for Utility Model Registration)

  The bicycle ornament disclosed in Patent Document 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. A locking leg 101 is provided on the back surface of the base body 103 so as to be sandwiched between the spokes of the bicycle, and a small piece 105 having light-emitting properties and reflectivity is attached to the surface of the base body 103. The small piece 105 is attached with an adhesive or the like in a recessed portion 104 defined by a protruding edge 102 formed around the surface of the base 103. Since it is configured in this way, it is possible to easily decorate the bicycle wheel by simply attaching the locking leg 101 to the bicycle spoke with a single touch and attaching it to the wheel. The bicycle and the occupant can be easily seen from the vehicle and the pedestrian by the remarkable visual effect of the small piece 105 having the light emitting property and the reflective property attached to the wheel, so that safety during the night traveling of the bicycle is particularly improved. It was ensured that the practical effect was demonstrated.

  However, in the conventional bicycle ornament, since the small piece 105 having the light emitting property and the reflective property is adhered to the recessed portion 104 on the surface of the base 103 with an adhesive or the like, the small piece 105 is formed. When pasting 105 on the recessed portion 104, if the projection planes of each other are shifted at the initial stage of pasting, they are pasted without being properly polymerized, and the pasting operation has to be performed again. For this reason, the sticking strength is reduced, and the processing time required in the work process is increased. These issues were particularly acute in the case of complex shapes (eg, those with details such as stars). Further, although the above-described conventional example in which the base body 103 itself is decorated has been proposed, since it is necessary to configure the locking leg 101 to be clamped between the spokes with a material having elasticity, The material selection is restricted, for example, a highly permeable material cannot be selected as the base 103 itself integrated with the locking leg 101.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of the conventional bicycle decorative device, and even if the decorative device has a complicated shape, the decorative portion can be formed without any risk of failure in a simple manufacturing process. An object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle ornament having a high degree of freedom in selecting a material for a member.
