Illumination devices
An illumination device including a housing having a flared cylindrical bowl shape enclosed on a first end and open on an second end, a light emitting portion coupled to the housing on the second end, the light emitting portion comprising a first portion configured to diffuse light emitted through the first portion and a second portion configured to project light in a beam from the illumination device, the first portion encircles a perimeter of the second portion, a first light source comprising one or more light emitting devices that when activated provide light to the first portion, and a second light source distinct from the first light source that when activated provides light to the second portion.
Handlebar Lights with Turn Actuator
A bicycle including a handlebar attached to a frame at substantially a midpoint, a first set of light sources disposed to project light in a first forward direction, said first set of light sources including a fixed light source and a motor-controlled light source, disposed to project light in a second forward direction said second set of light sources including a fixed light source and a motor-controlled light source, a controller, said controller disposed on the handlebar, said controller coupled to the first set of light sources and the second set of light sources, a rotation sensor operable to sense movement of the handlebar relative to the frame, said rotation sensor coupled to the controller, wherein the motor-controlled light sources move in response to the position of the rotation sensor.
Bicycle light
A bicycle light for securing to a handlebar or other part of a bike, or to a rider's helmet, has an angled front face that allows use of a single, flat LED circuit board with one or more deep conic or parabolic reflectors positioned in front of the upper part of the board and one or more shallow reflectors in front of the bottom part of the board. This provides for both a spot beam produced by the deep reflector and flood light produced by the shallow reflector, in a compact and efficient assembly. Another important feature of the device is side lighting which can be independently controlled, important in affording the rider side lighting while in street traffic but the option to pulse or switch off the side lighting when riding on a trail.
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.
Handlebar lights with turn actuator for a bicycle
A bicycle including a handlebar attached to a frame at substantially a midpoint, a first set of light sources disposed to project light in a first forward direction, said first set of light sources including a fixed light source and a motor-controlled light source, disposed to project light in a second forward direction said second set of light sources including a fixed light source and a motor-controlled light source, a controller, said controller disposed on the handlebar, said controller coupled to the first set of light sources and the second set of light sources, a rotation sensor operable to sense movement of the handlebar relative to the frame, said rotation sensor coupled to the controller, wherein the motor-controlled light sources move in response to the position of the rotation sensor.
Bicycle with light system, bicycle cassette and method
The present invention relates to a bicycle with light system. The bicycle includes a tube assembly including a frame with mutually fixed tube elements with a tube wall and movable tube elements, such as a steering pin and a handlebar, a light generation subsystem including at least one independently controllable light source for generation of light, a light control for controlling the light generation subsystem for providing at least one light effect, and a light guiding subsystem for guiding light over a part of the path between the at least one light source and the surroundings of the bicycle. The at least one light source is arranged in at least one of the at least one tube element. The bicycle includes the at least one opening in at least one tube element for passing the light through the tube wall. The light guiding subsystem provides a guiding from the inside of the respective at least one tube element to the outside of the at least one tube element of the frame.

MODULAR PORTABLE DEVICE FOR VIEWING, SIGNALLING AND/OR LIGHTING
A modular portable device (4) for viewing, signaling and/or lighting includes a casing (8) suitable for realizing both a container body and a grip or attachment element of the modular portable device (4). At least one viewing device (12) is suitable to reflect an image of the surrounding environment to the modular portable device (4). At least one signaling device (20) emits a beam of light to signal the presence of the modular portable device and/or the user or vehicle supporting the modular portable device (4). The viewing and signaling devices (12, 20) are mechanically separable from one another and mechanically associable and removable to/from the casing (8) independently of each other.
Light sensing illumination device for bicycle
A light sensing illumination device for bicycle includes a seat, a reflector, and an illumination device. The seat includes a housing space. The reflector is disposed in the seat and in the housing space, and the reflector includes a reflection curved face which is formed in a smooth arc shape with a concave face thereof facing an opening of the housing space. The illumination unit is disposed in the housing space and projects light beam toward the reflection curved face. With a smooth arc shaped reflection curved face, the light beam projected by the illumination unit is completely reflected, so as to improve the light condensing effect and efficiently enhance the overall brightness.
