Description

"ACCESSORY FOR THE TOLL TAG USE IN MOTORCYCLES"

The following model copyright aims for an accessory model for the use of identification device (toll tag), to be used in motorcycles, allowing a sensible improvement in the motorcyclers' flow.

Such tags are already in use by cars, trucks, and buses for automatic passage in toll plazas, parking lots at shopping malls and airports.

These tags are not used by motorcycles due to some problems, such as: rain, positioning, theft, and even the device's compatibility that demand some measures for proper work..

Bearing these problems in mind and working to overcome them, a piece of equipment to fix over the front fender was developed. There the tag will be then set for proper use and allow the toll tag use for motorcycles, object of the present copyright.

We have considered some inconveniences on motorcycle flow through toll cabins, like: delay for riders to fetch their toll money and to keep the toll change in case there is any, incompliance with lines, and lack of patience from car, bus and truck drivers.

Considering the rather relevant increase in the flow in toll plazas and the inconveniences previously mentioned, this model's goal is to use the already existing technology to improve the flow by including motorcycles in the automatic passage or toll tag, thus avoiding traffic jams, incompliance with lines, and making motoboys' delieveries quicker with users comfort and satisfaction. This way found would permit the toll tag use by- motorcycles, since it would be protected from rain and it would be installed in the motorcycle itself, by the use of two screws attached to the front fender. This way also establishes a certain harmony between the tag use and the motorcycle, since it can be painted with the same overall vehicle color.

The attached pictures show the device's disposition, object of the present copyright, in which:

Picture 1 shows it in exploded perspective.

Picture 2 shows set in perspective; and

Picture 4 shows it in use.

According to the information displayed in the forementioned pictures the tag accessory means shell 1 with two 4 and 5 fixing arms in each end. Inside it we have a pience 2 to fix the tag 6 in the shell 1. Mimicking an air entrance we have a grille 8 to the shell 1 to give the product a better design. Behind this grille we have a closed part 3 to avoid water penetration.

In picture 2 we can see an accessory set in perspective, when in picture 3 we have the adapter above the motorcycle front fender 7, showing the real use of the product 9.

Obviously, with such settings the tag accessory can be adjusted to attend any and all kinds of motorbikes' front fenders.
