HELMET STOP LIGHT FOR MOTOR CYCLISTS OR BIKERS WITH INERTIONAL SWITCH

AND POSITION LIGHT

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to signal lights for vehicle marking.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM

Technical problem that is being solved with this invention is bother light signaling for motor cyclist and biker during driving in line and in traffic in general with a purpose of lowering the traffic accidents.

PRIOR ART

Author of this application has not found a single similar technical solution in prior art going trough all the available sources of information being open to him. Nevertheless, he has found helmets with special smear that illuminates. This invention comprises stop light and position light on the helmet which purpose is bother light signaling for motor cyclist or biker driving in line and in traffic in general with an inertional switch that is turning on during braking.

DESCRIPTION OF SOLUTIONS OF THE TECHNICAL PROBLEM

Using the light with inertional switch and position light which are placed on the helmet of motor cyclist or biker and which helmet is being the top and the most noticeable part on the vehicle, braking signalization is becoming possible which could lower traffic accidents. Novelty is that during the braking the inertional switch turns on the stop light living the possibility for other drivers to react on time according to the situation in front of them. All the solution of this technical problem have the same initial way of activating by using a micro-switch with a lever (13) witch closes the power circuit (Figures 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C).

Problem can be solved by tree embodiments described in following text.

1. Figure 2A presents the mechanical solution of the technical problem: Stop light with inertional switch and position light comprises housing (2) that holds the batteries (3), inertional switch (4) and electric bulb (5). The mentioned housing (2) is positioned on the back of the helmet (1) presented with power circuit on the Figure 3A with the battery (3), inertional switch (4) and electric bulb (5) being housed by the housing (2).

The mechanical solution of the inertional switch that is positioned in the housing (2), with batteries (3) and bulbs (5) operates as follows: batteries (3), housed in the housing (2), during the braking pushed by its own weight and by the power of the inertia make contact (4) that switches on the bulbs (5). Once the braking is finished batteries (3), pushed by the lever (6), take the earlier position witch switches off the stop light. In the same time the contact is once again activated (7) which enables switching on the position light.

2. Figure 2B presents the magnetic solution of the technical problem: Stop light with inertional switch comprises housing (2) that also holds batteries (3), inertional switch (4) and led diode (5). Mentioned housing (2) is positioned on the back of the helmet (1), presented with electric circuit on the Figure 3B where the battery (3), inertional switch (4) and led diode (5) are placed in the housing (2). Magnetic solution of the inertional switch that is housed in the housing (2), with batteries (3) and led diode (5) operates as follows: small magnet (8) that is also placed in the housing (2) pushed by its own weight or by the weigh of the additional load (9) during the braking and because of the inertia goes to position A and in contact with the reed relay closes the power circuit and eventually energizes the stop lights. Once the braking is finished, the small magnet (8) returns in normal position B after witch the position light goes on.

3. Figure 2C presents the microprocessor solution of the technical problem: Stop light with inertional switch comprises housing (2) with batteries (3), inertional switch (4) and led diode (5). Mentioned housing (2) is placed on the back of the helmet (1) presented by power circuit on Figure 3C where the battery (3), inertional switch (4), led diode (5) and the microprocessor (6) are housed within the housing (2).

Microprocessor solution of inertional switch that is located within the housing (2), with batteries (3) and led diode (5) operates as follows: the microprocessor (6) is connected to accelerometer (10) that measures the velocity and sends the data to the microprocessor (6), which computes the received data and using the digital-analogous converter (1 1 ) (which may or may not be incorporated within the microprocessor) regulates the intensity of the light within the led diode (5).

BRIF SUMARRY OF THIS INVENTION

The essence of this invention, the helmet stop light for motor cyclist and biker with an inertional switch and position light is summarized in its location on the top of a helmet making difference to prior art stop lights for motorcycle and enabling bother motor cyclist and biker perceptibility during traffic (Figure 1), and moreover in its inertional switch that is turning on during braking due to power of inertia. All tree embodiments have unique way of initial

activating of the device so that when the helmet is on the head by help of a micro-switch comprising a lever (13) the device power circuit is closed (stop light with inertional switch and position light). Inertional switch is constructed as follows from the following embodiments:

1. Inertional switch located in the housing (2) whit batteries (3) and electric bulb (5) operates as follows: batteries (3) located in the housing (2) due to theirs weight during braking and due to the inertia make contact (4) that turns on the bulb (5). Once the braking is stopped the batteries are (3), by means of lever (6), put back to last position which turns off the stop light. In the some time the contact is reached (7) energizing the position light.

2. Inertional switch positioned within the housing (2), whit batteries (3) and led diode (5) operates as follows: the small magnet (8) housed also within the housing (2) due to its weight or due to the weight of the additional load (9) during the braking due to the inertia moves to position A and close to reed relay which closes the power circuit and turns on the light. Once the braking is over, the magnet (8) turns back in normal position B after which the position light goes on.

3. Inertional switch into the housing (2) carrying batteries (3) and led diode (5) operates as follows: the microprocessor (6) is connected to accelerometer (10) that measures the velocity and shifts the data to the microprocessor (6) which compute received data and trough digital-analogous connector (11) (which may or may not be incorporated within the microprocessor) regulates the intensity of the light within the led diode (5).

EXAMPLE FOR BEST WAY OF INDUSTRIAL APLICATION OF THE INVENTION

Stop light and position light located on the helmet for motor cyclist and biker is usually made of quality light materials. Due to aerodynamic reasons it is with round lines but for best product furthermore cooperation with helmet producers is suggested. The flexibility of the housing enables the invention to be mounted on all known helmet types or to be incorporated into the body of the helmet.
