[Effect of the device]

 Therefore, in the brake lamp device for a bicycle according to claim 1, in the brake lamp device for a bicycle, a device main body A having a built-in power source and provided with the brake lamp 1, and this device main body. A switch body B that is connected to A via a cord 5 and that arbitrarily turns on the brake lamp 1 by the power source in the device main body A. The switch body B is formed so that it can be attached to the boom lever 21 of the bicycle 20. Since the switch body B can be operated by pressing the finger at the same time as the swing operation of the boot lever 21 when the bicycle 20 is being braked, anyone can easily and quickly attach the brake lamp device S to the bicycle 20. You will be able to do it. In particular, since the switch body B is attached to the boot lever 21 of the bicycle 20, the switch body B is pushed by the swinging operation of the boot lever 21 by fingers when braking the bicycle 20, and the switch body B is pressed at the same time. The braking of the bicycle 20 and the lighting of the brake lamp 1 can be reliably and easily synchronized with each other.

Further, in the bicycle brake lamp device according to the second aspect, the switch body B 1 is formed of an elastic outer shell 10 made of an appropriate elastic material such as rubber, and the elastic outer shell 10 of the elastic outer shell 10. The switch board 11 installed in the switch portion B1, a pair of contacts 12 arranged in parallel to the surface of the switch board 11, and a pair of contacts 12 arranged so as to face the pair of contacts 12 at a predetermined interval. The elastic outer shell body 10 is formed with a conductive plate 13 mounted on the inner surface of the switch portion B1, and the switch portion B1 is elastically deformed by the pressure applied to the switch portion B1 of the elastic outer shell body 10. Since 13 is formed so as to come into contact with the pair of contacts 12 to obtain a conductive state, the switch portion B1 is elastically deformed by the pressurization of the elastic outer shell body 10 against the switch portion B1, and the conductive plate is also formed. When the pair of contacts 12 moves to the armature 13 and the conducting plate 13 contacts the pair of contacts 12, the current from the power source can be surely passed to the brake lamp 1. However, simply by releasing the pressure applied to the switch portion B1 of the elastic outer shell 10, the switch portion B1 elastically returns, the conducting plate 13 separates from the pair of contacts 12, and the current from the power supply is surely cut off. become able to. That is, the lighting operation of the brake lamp 1 can be repeated to smoothly perform the operation. Further, since the elastic outer shell body 10 is formed of an appropriate elastic material such as rubber, the touch of the switch portion B1 becomes good and the slip preventing effect can be exhibited.
