Definitions

  • This invention concerns an indicator device suitable for use by the rider of a non-enclosed vehicle, in particular for use by cyclists, especially pedal cyclists.
  • the indicator comprises a main portion carrying amber light emitting diodes (LEDs) to be worn around a cyclist's wrist and an extension portion carrying a pressure toggle switch and an elasticated loop through which the first finger of a cyclist is inserted.
  • LEDs amber light emitting diodes
  • the indicator When a cyclist wishes to indicate a turning manoeuvre, they extend their arm whilst moving their thumb to press and close the switch to complete an electrical connection of the LEDs to batteries via a flashing unit.
  • the flashing light output from the device may not be sufficient under certain conditions.
  • the units are battery powered, so simply to increase the wattage of the LEDs, or to increase their number, places a higher load on the battery power, which would therefore fail more quickly. Also in some conditions, brighter lights might dazzle other road users causing them to be distracted.
  • an indicator device suitable for use by the rider of a non-enclosed vehicle, comprising:
  • control unit in operative connection with the light emitting unit, the control unit incorporating a flashing circuit
  • a manually operable switch in operative connection with the control unit, whereby operation of the switch triggers the control unit to cause the light emitting unit to flash.
  • the device according to the invention is characterised by the provision of an ambient light sensor in operative connection with the control unit, the control unit being adapted to vary the light output of the light emitting unit in response to the sensed ambient light conditions.
  • a user may control the indicator device so as to control an operation of a light emitting unit of the indicator device.
  • a property of light output by the light emitting unit of the indicator device may be based upon a sensed ambient light condition.
  • the indicator device may comprise a light sensor or light meter adapted to detect a light level (e.g. brightness or luminosity) in the vicinity or surroundings of the indicator device. Based on the detected light level, a property (e.g. brightness, intensity, frequency, spread, color and so on) of light output by the light emitting unit may be altered or controlled.
  • a property e.g. brightness, intensity, frequency, spread, color and so on
  • the property is a measure of lumens output by the light emitting unit.
  • the indicator device may be mounted on the rider by way of a rider attachment unit.
  • the rider attachment unit may comprise, by way of example only: an elastic strap, a magnetic coupling or a strap comprising hook and loop fasteners. Other methods of permitting attachment of the indicator device to the user will be readily apparent to the person skilled in the art.
  • the operation of the light emitting unit may be controlled by a control unit.
  • the control unit may, in preferable embodiments, cause the light emitting unit to flash (i.e. periodically output light) at one or more predetermined rates when activated.
  • the control unit may control the light emitting unit to flash at a rate that mimics (e.g. resembles or is close to) the typical flashing rate of a turning indicator of a conventional car or motor vehicle. Causing the light emitting unit to flash at a rate which is close to that of a conventional indicator of a car may, for example, improve 3 rd person perception or recognition of the indicator device (due to a familiarity and/or expectation of indicators flashing at such a conventional rate).
  • the indicator device may further comprise a manually operable switch or user interface adapted to be controlled by the rider.
  • the indicator device may allow a rider to provide an input to the indicator device.
  • the rider may control the switch or interface so as to provide an indication of the rider's intention to activate (i.e. switch on) the light emitting unit.
  • control unit may control the operation of the light emitting unit.
  • control unit may receive an indication from the user of an intention to activate the light emitting unit. In response to the received intention, the control unit activates the light emitting unit. In another example, the control unit may receive an indication from the user of an intention to deactivate the light emitting unit. In response to such a received intention, the control unit deactivates the light emitting unit.
  • control unit may control the light emitting unit to flash (e.g. to simulate a typical vehicle indicator).
  • proposed concepts may also be applied to non- flashing indicator device (i.e. where the control unit does not control the light emitting unit to flash).
  • the control unit is preferably adapted to cause a greater light output from the light emitting unit in response to a higher ambient light condition.
  • the device may have at least two operating modes including a nighttime operating mode in which the light output of the light emitting unit is relatively low and a day-time operating mode in which the light output of the light emitting unit is relatively high.
  • the relatively low light output is between 200 and 600 lumens, such as between 300 and 500 lumens, especially about 400 lumens.
  • the relatively high light output is between 600 and 1 ,000 lumens, such as between 700 and 900 lumens, especially about 800 lumens.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif indicateur approprié pour être utilisé par le conducteur d'un véhicule non-fermé, qui comprend au moins une unité d'émission de lumière (18) et un moyen (12) pour attacher l'unité d'émission de lumière (18) à un conducteur. Une unité de commande (20), incorporant un circuit de clignotement, est en liaison fonctionnelle avec l'unité d'émission de lumière (18). Un commutateur à actionnement manuel (24) est en liaison fonctionnelle avec l'unité de commande (20), l'actionnement du commutateur (24) déclenchant l'unité de commande pour amener l'unité d'émission de lumière (18) à clignoter. Un capteur de lumière ambiante (22) est en liaison fonctionnelle avec l'unité de commande (20), qui est conçue pour faire varier la sortie de lumière de l'unité d'émission de lumière (18) en réponse aux conditions de lumière ambiante détectées. En permettant à la sortie de l'émetteur de lumière d'être ajustée en réponse aux changements de conditions de lumière ambiante, la sortie de lumière peut être suffisante pour avertir d'autres usagers de la route sans devoir drainer inutilement la source d'alimentation et, en même temps, pour empêcher d'éblouir d'autres usagers de la route dans certaines conditions.
