Bicycle control lever and method for manufacturing it
A bicycle control lever includes a luminous indicator arranged between an inner half-shell and an outer half-shell, and the outer half-shell has at least one transparent region at the luminous indicator.
Method of and apparatus for operating a brake light and turn signal
The present invention provides an apparatus for and method of bicycle signaling. The present invention provides an ease of setup on a wide variety and style of bicycle handlebars providing a magnet disposed on a bicycle brake lever and a control unit comprising sensors, also disposed on the bicycle handlebars. The present invention provides a wireless signaling apparatus and a wireless method of signaling. The present invention provides an apparatus and method for easy configuration and pairing of a bicycle light system. The present invention system provides for a plurality of lights that are configured and able to function independently in different patterns, including but not limited to a left turn signal, and a right turn signal, thus providing a wide array of pattern visibility and patterns that motor vehicle drivers are expecting to see.
Straddle-type vehicle
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a straddle-type vehicle that enables reducing the number of components. Between front forks at the bottom edge of a top bridge configuring a motorcycle, a stay is provided which supports turn signals on each of the front forks. In this case, the stay is configured from a single member. Further, a stay fixing unit for fixing the stay and a first front fork fixing unit for fixing the front forks are provided on the top bridge. By this means, it is possible for the stay to be a single common member that supports turn signals on each of the front forks.
Notification system
A notification system notifies brake-related information related to braking of a rotation body of a human-powered vehicle. The notification system includes a notification unit that includes a notification device configured to notify a user of the brake-related information. The notification device is provided on at least one of a brake device braking the rotation body, an operation device operating the brake device, and a display device.
Personal exercise measuring safety system
A personal exercise measuring safety system is provided. Aforementioned system is applied in a bicycle and includes an image acquiring or information transmitting device, an exercise measuring device, a personal mobile digital measuring device and a power supply device. The image acquiring or information transmitting device is configured on one portion of the bicycle by a fixator. The personal mobile digital measuring device electrically connected with the image acquiring or information transmitting device by a digital image transmitting device so as to receive an image or information. The personal mobile digital measuring device selectively displays the image or information, or provides an external handheld communication device for receiving and displaying the image or information. The power supply device is configured to provide power to each device.
MOBILE VEHICLE, SAFETY WARNING DEVICE AND SAFETY WARNING METHOD
A safety warning method includes the following steps. Step 1 is to generate a plurality of distance sensing signals by an optical object ranging module according to an approaching object. Step 2 is to obtain a relative distance trend according to the distance sensing signals and its corresponding time. Step 3 is to generate a control signal according to the relative distance trend. Step 4 is to drive and control a warning device to generate a warning signal according to the control signal. In addition, the present invention also provides a mobile vehicle and a safety warning device.
Lighting apparatus arrangement for saddle riding vehicle, and saddle riding vehicle
To provide a lighting apparatus arrangement for a saddle riding vehicle, allowing a predetermined illumination distance and illumination range of laser light to be easily achieved. A lighting apparatus includes a laser device, a first light guide, and a front-portion light emitting unit. The laser device emits laser light. The first light guide guides light from the laser device to any desired position. The front-portion light emitting unit is disposed at a distal end of the first light guide and irradiates areas around a vehicle with light from the first light guide. The front-portion light emitting unit is disposed at a position higher in level than a lower end of a meter unit disposed at a front portion of a vehicle body.
Wearable signaling system and methods
A signaling system is provided, comprising a vest having a rear-facing display and a controller. The vest is configured to communicate with the controller for operating the display. The controller is configured to operate the display based at least on data from a GPS module and one or more motion sensors.
Straddle-type vehicle
A straddle vehicle which turns in a bank state in which a vehicle body is rotated around an axis extending in a vehicle length direction, includes a head lamp unit which is disposed at a front portion of the straddle vehicle and emits a light beam with which a forward region of the vehicle body is irradiated; a cornering lamp unit which is disposed at the front portion of the straddle vehicle, provided separately from the head lamp unit, and turned on in the bank state; and a duct member included in an engine air-intake system, wherein the cornering lamp unit is disposed below the head lamp unit and below an air-intake inlet of the duct member.
Vehicle headlight with a plurality of inner non spherical lenses transmitting light from a high beam and a low beam light source
A headlight includes a housing, a low-beam light source and a high-beam light source, a board, and an upper inner lens and a lower inner lens. The low-beam light source and the high-beam light source are each formed of an LED that is housed in the housing and radiates light. The board controls light beams emitted from the low-beam light source and the high-beam light source. The upper inner lens and the lower inner lens are provided in the housing and allow each of the light beams emitted from the low-beam light source and the high-beam light source to be transmitted through the upper inner lens and the lower inner lens toward the vehicle front side. At least part of the board is disposed to overlap with the rear side of the upper inner lens for the low-beam light source.
