Abstract

In order to simplify the necessary lamp accessories of a bicycle a lamp (9) with a current supply is prepared with a slide shoe (10) that can be brought into gear with a groove (4) in a holder (1) of the kind that can be fixed to the existing lamp bracket (13) of a bicycle. The slide shoe (10) and the holder (1) are supplied with electric contact members that connect the tail lamp to the current supply of the lamp (9) via a wire (14). Thus the front as well as the tail lamp can be fed by the same demountable current supply.

Description

LAMP WITH A HOLDER
The invention relates to a lamp with a holder for mounting on the existing lamp bracket of a bicycle.
In order to avoid theft of bicycle lamps, especially of dynamo lamps, demountable battery-fed front and tail lamps may be used. It is, however, combined with some difficulty to be forced to demount the lamps every time the bicycle is parked, and to keep two often big and heavy lamps.
The object of this invention is to diminish and partly eliminate the above disadvantages.
This object is fulfilled by the fact that the holder is prepared for the receipt of the lamp, that the holder is supplied with a first electric contact member with connection to the tail lamp of the bicycle via an insolated wire and with a second electric contact member with connection to a frame, that the lamp is supplied with a third electric contact member with connection to one pole of a current supply mounted in the lamp, that the lamp is supplied with a fourth electric contact member with connection to the other pole of the current supply, and that the first and third contact member respectively the second and fourth contact member have electric contact, when the lamp is mounted in the holder. In this way the tail lamp is fed from the current supply of the front lamp so that the tail lamp can be mounted permanently and so that only the front lamp with the current supply has to be removed when parking the bike. The lamp is furnished with a slide shoe, which can be brought into gear with a groove in the holder, and the first and the second contact member form, contact slides in the groove. Thus a very simpel and at the same time safe mounting of the lamp in the holder is achieved. Further the lamp can be characterized in that the second contact member is constituted by the holder which is con ductive. This embodiment is very expedient.
The invention will be further explained in the following with reference to the drawing, where
Fig. 1 shows a lamp with a holder according to theoinvention, Fig..2 shows the holder according to Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 shows a sectional view along III-III in
Fig. 1.
The bicycle lamp with the holder will be described together, with reference to Fig. 1-3. The holder 1, which can be manufactured of plastics, stainless steel, or aluminium, has a rectangular cross section and is supplied with a guide 2, which has a rectangular cross section, too, corresponding t othe dimensions of a usual lamp bracket 13. The holder 1 is at one side supplied with two screw holes 3 for the fixing of the holder 1 by means of two screws. In the holder 1 a groove 4 is made of two flaps 5 and 6. In one side of the groove 4, at the flap 6, an electric insolator 7 with a contact slide 8 is fixed, the contact surface of which contact slide turns in towards the groove 4. The lamp 9 has a slide shoe 10 corresponding to the groove 4, so that the slide shoe 10 is kept by the flaps 5 and 6. The slide shoe 10 is in one side supplied with a contact slide 11 for the frame, which is connected to one pole of a non-shown battery in the lamp 9, and in the other side to a contact slide 12 for the other pole of the battery. The contact slides 8 and 12 have electric connection, when the lamp 9 is placed in the holder 1. The contact slide 8 in the holder 1 is connected with an electric wire 14, which in its turn is connected to a non-shown tail lamp. The lamp 9 is furnished with a non-shown breaker contact , which is connected to the electric system so that the lamp 9 and the non-shown tail lamp are turned on and off simultaineously when activating the contact .
