Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To contribute to traffic safety and prevent an accident by fitting a light source to the front wheel of a bicycle, and emitting the richly colored rotating light as the front wheel is rotated when the bicycle is traveled so that the existence of the bicycle is recognized from four directions, i.e., the front, rear, right, and left, with high visibility for arousing the attention of pedestrians and other vehicle drivers when the bicycle is traveled at night. SOLUTION: A 12-V battery 2 is fitted to the body 1 of a bicycle as a power source, a power switch 4 is fitted to a handle 5, and an insulating plate 7 and a conducting plate 8 are fitted at the center section of the front wheel into contact with a a at-tire brush 9, to feed current through a transformer 6, and a neon tube or a fluorescent tube installed in an acrylic cylinder fixed to a spoke is illuminated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bicycle safety light device in which a neon tube or a fluorescent tube is fixed to a front wheel of a bicycle as a light source.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, attention has been paid to a bicycle by using a headlight using a miniature ball, a luminescent paint and an illuminated display.

[0003]

This has the following disadvantages. (B) Only a single light can be emitted from the light source. (B) It was directional because it was fixed. (C) In the case of reflection, it does not shine if the light is weak. (D) When the bicycle was run at night, it was not very noticeable. From the above, this was accompanied by the risk of an accident. The present invention improves the above-mentioned drawbacks and a light emitting section that emits a colorful and colorful color rotates together with the rotation of the front wheels, and allows other drivers and pedestrians to recognize fluid light from front, rear, left and right, (EN) Provided is a bicycle safety light device that attracts attention and gives a driver a feeling of tension and enjoyment by stimulating light.

[0004]

The structure of the present invention uses a 12V battery (2) mounted on a bicycle body (1) as a power source,
Go through the power switch (4) attached to the handle (5),
The neon installed in the acrylic cylinder fixed to the spoke by attaching the insulating plate (7) and the conductive plate (8) to the center part of the front wheel via the transformer (6) and bringing the brush (9) into contact with the brush. This is a bicycle safety light device that emits light from a fluorescent tube or a fluorescent tube.

[0005]

[Function] When a neon tube or a fluorescent tube (10) is turned on, it emits a light of a peculiar vivid color and shines in four directions in the front, rear, left and right with the movement of the rotating front wheel, which helps drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians pay attention. By evoking and improving visibility, it contributes to accident prevention and traffic safety. Further, since it is a battery type, it can emit light even when it is stopped, which is useful for illuminating the darkness of night.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. (A) The power supply uses a DC12V (2) storage battery, passes through the power switch (2), and goes through the transformer (3). (B) An insulating plate (7) and a conducting plate (8) are attached to the central portion of the front wheel, and the brush supported by the brush support rod (13) is brought into close contact with the conducting plate (8) to conduct current. (C) Pass the gap between the spokes (12) in the center of the front wheel,
An acrylic cylinder containing a neon tube or a fluorescent tube is attached. The present invention has the above-mentioned structure and lights the neon tube or the fluorescent tube by operating the power switch.

[0007]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION By installing a neon tube or a fluorescent tube on the front wheel portion of a bicycle and causing it to emit light, colorful and colorful light is rotated and changed as the bicycle moves. Can be demonstrated. (A) As the rotating front wheels move, the colorful, colorful light rotates and moves, making it easier to recognize than the conventional single color. (B) Since the light illuminates in all directions, it can be recognized from all four directions. (C) Even when the bicycle is stopped, it can emit light because it is battery-powered, and the bright light illuminates the existence of the bicycle. From the above, when driving a bicycle at night, it is possible to raise the visibility of drivers and pedestrians of other vehicles and improve visibility, thereby contributing to traffic safety and preventing a bicycle accident at night. In particular, it seems to be effective in preventing driving accidents for the elderly and children.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A 12V battery (2) attached to a bicycle body (1) is used as a power source, and a power switch (4) attached to a handle (5) is passed through a transformer (6) to insulate the front wheel center portion. The plate (7) is attached with the conducting plate (8), and the brush (9) is brought into contact with the plate (7) to conduct an electric current so that the neon tube or the fluorescent tube installed in the acrylic cylinder fixed to the spoke emits light.
