Description

BADGE WITH LIGHT TO BE FASTENED ON CLOTHING OR BICYCLE WHEEL
Designation
Badge with light or reflector or both to be fastened on clothing. Henceforth called Reflectorbadge.
Application of the product
This product concerns a Reflectorbadge with light to be fastened on clothing and to be mounted on the wheels of a bicycle.
The Reflectorbadge consists of a front part and a clutching ring. It has been constructed in a way that by assembling it permits a piece of cloth to be stuck between the front part and the clutching ring. Thus the Reflectorbadge can be fastened on clothing. Furthermore notches in the clutching ring permit mounting on the spars of a bicycle wheel. The front part consists of two round halves.
Known technology
Round badges for advertising purposes to be fastened on clothing have been known for some time. Those consist of a thin metal plate with a safety pin mounted on the back. The safety pin is used to fasten the badge to clothing. Also, reflectors to be fastened to clothing by the means of a safety pin and a piece of cord are commonly known. Such reflectors are mainly produced from clear plastic with a built-in reflecting pattern. Such reflectors are also known in a shape that enables them to be mounted on a bicycle wheel, either by a simple mechanical procedure on the spars of the wheel or by using screws. Technical problem to be solved
Round badges for advertising purposes and reflectors to be fastened to clothing by the use of safety pins have been known for some time. Reflectors fastened to out-door clothing require that the road user has to be in the possession of a strong source of light in order to observe the presence of the bearer of the reflector. This also applies to reflectors mounted in the wheel of a bicycle.
It is the purpose of the product to create a badge that can be fastened to clothing WITHOUT any kind of damage and that can be mounted on and removed from the wheel of a bicycle without the use of tools. At the same time it is the intent that it shall be observed in darkness by other road users WITHOUT their possession of any kind of source of light.
The new technology
The novelty of the product is that the Reflectorbadge contains an electronic circuit, consisting of a Light Emitting Diode(LED) and a Lithium battery. Furthermore the Reflectorbadge consists of a front part and a clutching ring that by assembling permit a piece of cloth to be stuck between the two parts WITHOUT any damage. Finally, the Reflectorbadge can be provided with a reflector on the front and back to increase safety.
Technical merit
By using the above mentioned technique, it is possible to produce a Reflectorbadge that can be fastened on clothing without any damage, not even by unintentional removal. Also, it can be seen from far away by other road users without them being in the possession of a source of light. Furthermore, it can be mounted on a wheel of a bicycle by letting the cluthingring mechanically connect with the spars in the wheel.
SUBSTITUTE SH The product and its especially advantageous performances will be explained in detail in the following with reference to the enclosed pictures.

Examples of construction
The Reflectorbadge consists of a front part, which again consists of two halves a and b.
Fig. 1 shows halfpart a from the front and (on the left) from the back. The big, round depression is meant for a pile battery, type 2430, and the escalation from this is meant for a piece of contact sheet metal. Picture 3 shows these two objects mounted in halfpart a.
Fig. 2 shows halfpart b from the front and (to the left) from the back. The round hole in the middle is meant for a 5mm Light Emitting Diode, and the escalation from the hole is meant for the wires of the diode, enabling these (the wires) to reach the two depressions seen on the back. The two depressions are meant for two steelballs that will serve as connection between the battery and the diode via the contact sheet met the two front halves are turned in opposite directions.
Fig. 4 shows the mounting of the Light Emitting Diode and the steel balls.
Fig. 5 shows the assembled front part from the side. Notice the two raised parts which enable the user to turn the two halves in opposite directions.
Fig. 6 shows the assembled Reflectorbadge from the front.
Fig. 7 shows the clutching ring which is constructed like a jar, closing around the Reflectorbadge and enables the product to be fastened on clothing. Notice the four notches in the sides of the clutching ring which enables the product to be mounted on the spars of the wheel of a bicycle. Also, the large circular hole in the middle of the clutching ring enables the mounting of a reflector, thus improving the efficiency of the Reflectorbadge when mounted on the wheel of a bicycle.
Fig. 8 shows a Reflectorbadge pressed halfway down into a clutching ring in order to illustrate the purpose of the clutching ring.
Fig. 9 shows the simple, mechanical connection between the Reflectorbadge and the clutching ring.
Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 show the simplicity of fastening The Reflectingbadge on a sweater, lighted and not lighted. Summary
Badge with light or reflector or both to be fastened on clothing or to be mounted on the wheels of a bicycle. The badge contains one Light Emitting Diode, one lithium battery, two steel balls and one piece of contact sheet metal. Furthermore the badge consists of a front part, a back part and one clutching ring.

Claims

Claims
1. Badge to be fastened to clothing, consisting of a front part(4) and a clutching ring (7), both being new by the fact that the fastening is done without the means of a safety pin, and by the fact that it contains an electronic circuit consisting of a Lithium battery and a red Light Emitting Diode and the use of two steelballs with the dual purpose of the fixation of the wires of the diode and the creation of contact with the battery.
2. Badge that according to claim #1 is new by the fact that it can be mounted on the wheel of a bicycle and that it contains a yellow Light Emitting Diode.
