Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a bicycle headlamp that is installed at the front of a bicycle, and was created with the aim of providing a headlamp that also has the function of a fog light. The reflector of the light is mounted inside the headlamp body so that it can be rotated to the right or left, and the lens of the headlamp body is attached to the reflector at appropriate intervals from one end surface which is colored. The colored area is gradually reduced toward the rotation side, and the other end surface is left uncolored.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a headlamp body which is configured to be detachable by a suitable means such as fitting a headlamp body 11 and a lens 12 installed on the front side of the body. As shown in the drawing, one end surface 13 is colored yellow to make a fog light, and the other end surface 14 is colored at appropriate intervals, and the colored area is gradually reduced as it reaches the rotating side of the light reflecting mirror, which will be described later. In other words, the slope portion is not colored. 2 has the upper and lower peripheries as support shafts 21, 2
2 is a light reflecting mirror supported in the body 11 of the headlamp, which can be rotated to the left or right using the support shafts 21 and 22 as fulcrums; 3 is a miniature light bulb; 4 is a miniature light bulb socket. Reference numeral 5 designates a rotatable handle attached to the rear surface 23 of the reflector at a suitable distance laterally from the support shaft, and one end of a push-pull cable 51 inserted from the rear is connected to the handle. By pulling the cable, the reflector 2 can be rotated as the supporting shafts 21 and 22, and the other end of the push cable 51 is connected to a handle or the like. It is connected to the movable transmission mechanism of the headlight that is attached to the hand.

The device of the present invention constructed as described above is generally installed on the left and right sides of the bicycle for a required period of time, and the light reflector 2 faces directly in front of the body 11 as shown by the solid line in Figure 3. When the light bulb 3 is facing toward the front, the light from the light bulb 3 is irradiated in the front direction through the yellow-colored lens portion, that is, the one end surface 13, and functions as a fog light. The reflector 2 is connected to the third via the push cable 51 and the handle 5.
If the light is rotated outward as shown by the chain line in the figure, the light will gradually change from yellow to normal light due to the colored pattern of the lens 12, and the reflecting mirror will turn to the other end surface 14 of the lens, which is the uncolored part. By reaching this point, the fog light becomes a normal headlight with high illuminance. In this example, the headlight body is configured as a single-lamp type, but this can be replaced with a two-light type in which two lights, high and low lights, are incorporated into the headlamp body.
It may be of a light type, in which case the reflector of the low light located on the outside is configured to be rotatable, and the lens of the light is colored.

In this way, in the present invention, as mentioned above, the reflector of the light is mounted so that it can be rotated to the right or left, and the lens of the headlight is mounted at appropriate intervals with one colored end surface as a reference point. The colored area is gradually reduced as it reaches the rotating side of the reflecting mirror, and the other end surface is left uncolored, so by rotating the reflecting mirror, a single light bulb (light source) can be used as a fog light or a normal front light. It has the great advantage of being able to perform two functions as a lighting lamp. Furthermore, the present invention is designed to function as a normal headlight when the reflector is rotated outward from the frontal illumination state, so when driving at night, when the reflector is turned outward from the frontal illumination state, it becomes a normal headlight. When trying to change the direction of the turn, by rotating the reflector of the headlight on the side where the turn is to be made in the same direction, the direction of the turn can be changed without causing any deviation between the direction of the turn and the direction of the headlight irradiation. Since it can illuminate the direction of travel well, it has the effect of making it possible to drive safely, and by simultaneously rotating the left and right headlights outward, the illumination angle can be widened. This invention is useful for traffic safety as a bicycle headlight.
