Compact lamp
The compact lamp consists of a light source, a focusing lens, a specially shaped secondary lens with a saddle-shaped output surface, a light transmitting element, a battery holding chamber with an electrical control circuit connected to a button for control of the lamp source via a magnetic contact. Some of these elements are placed inside the lamp housing, mounted on an end of a handlebar or another suitable lighting device, and some other elements, including the battery and the magnetic control circuit, are installed inside the handlebar tube or the housing of the lighting device. The compact optical layout enables a beam, which is sharply limited in the vertical plane and sufficiently wide in the horizontal plane and is suitable for daytime running lamps, night headlamps or position lights. When at least two light sources are used in one lamp, beams of different light dispersion patterns can be electrically toggled.
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.
Detachable multimedia control apparatus
The present invention provides a detachable multimedia control apparatus, comprising: a front housing structure including a left turn signal, a right turn signal and a central light; a rear housing structure including a speaker module and a safety switch module; a top housing structure including a control module which controls the speaker module and the central light; a bottom housing structure including a first joining structure; a processor disposed inside the movable multimedia control apparatus and electrically connected to the left turn signal, the right turn signal, the central light, the speaker module, the safety switch signal and the control module; and a power module disposed inside the detachable multimedia control apparatus and electrically connected to the left turn signal, the right turn signal, the central light, the speaker module, and the processor, wherein the power module is configured to be unlocked by the safety switch module.
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.
Handlebar mountable light pipe apparatus for a bicycle
There is described a handlebar mountable bicycle light for fitting to a bicycle handlebar (3) between brake levers (4). The bicycle light comprises an upper cover (5) and a lower cover (6) which are preferably made from injection molded plastics and of a clam shell type arrangement able to receive handlebar (3) and rigidly retain light pipe assembly (7) with cover screws (8). Lower cover (6) contains an aperture (14) through which the handlebar stem (9) extends. The light pipe assembly (7) comprises a transparent rod-like light pipe (18) with LEDs (26) mounted at each end of the light pipe (18). The light pipe assembly 7 further includes heat sinks (24) to draw heat away from the LEDs (26). The arrangement is such that when the bicycle light is mounted to the handlebar, the heat sinks (24) are in contact with the handlebar so that heat from the LEDs may be conducted via the heat sinks (24) to the handlebar material.
Rechargeable bicycle light system
A bicycle tail light or front light has a mounting base to connect to the bicycle, and an LED light unit for insertion into and removal from the base. The light unit includes a printed circuit board with LED driver and a rechargeable battery, all of which are encapsulated by a direct overmolding that forms a casing for the unit. For charging the light unit is pulled out from the base and plugged into a USB port. A tongue with USB blade at the back of the light unit functions to secure the light unit to the mounting base, and the attachment of the units switches power to the light unit. A motion detector on the PCB shuts off the LED if no motion is detected for several minutes, thus eliminating need for any exterior switch.
Bottle light
A bottle light that is stored within a cap that threads onto a standard bicycle type water bottle. One set of LED lights within the cap point in a horizontal direction and can act as a lantern. Another LED light or set of LED lights point downward to illuminate the contents of the bottle. An on-off switch can be consecutively pushed to allow the user to choose between lantern mode or bottle lighting mode or both at once. Additionally, a microprocessor contained within the cap allows the user to choose to illuminate the contents of the bottle in white light, colored light or a cycling display of colored light. A rotatable handle on the outside of the cap allows a person to carry the device as a lantern.
Dual bicycle headlight and taillight
A dual bicycle headlight and taillight of a compact and lightweight configuration can be mounted on a bicycle handlebars as a headlight to project white light from a white light emitting diode and, alternatively, mounted on a rear of a bicycle as a taillight to project red light from a red light emitting diode. The projected light in both modes of a headlight or a taillight will be parallel to a support surface that the bicycle will traverse. A single flexible mounting strap is rotatably attached to a common light housing to provide a secure mounting of the headlight and taillight modes of operation by the same light housing.
LIGHTING APPARATUS DISPOSITION STRUCTURE FOR SADDLE RIDING VEHICLE
A lighting apparatus disposition structure for a saddle riding vehicle by which a traveling performance can be improved is disclosed. A lighting apparatus includes a laser element, a first light guide member and a second light guide member, a front light emission unit and a rear light emission unit, and a driver unit. The laser element and the driver unit are integrated as a light source unit. The light source unit is disposed between a head pipe that includes a steering axis for a front wheel and a pivot shaft that supports a rear wheel through a swing arm.
