Signaling device
A signaling device intended to be worn by a moving user such as a rider of a two-wheel vehicle providing improved visibility on the part of other road users through the provision of a light source at a greater height than is conventional for such vehicles comprises an accelerometer taking measurements along three orthogonal axes, a rechargeable battery pack, a first light source, wireless communication means for transmitting an alert signal and a control unit which activates the light source above a particular deceleration or braking threshold, activates the communication means at a higher deceleration or accident threshold and activates the communication means when a number of switchovers between acceleration and deceleration is equal to or higher than a third threshold.
SIGNALLING DEVICE FOR TWO-WHEELED VEHICLES
A signaling device is intended to be worn by a driver or rider of a land vehicle or intended to be mounted on such a vehicle, the vehicle preferably being a two-wheeled vehicle. The signaling device includes an accelerometer, an assembly of electrochemical batteries, a first light source, a wireless communicator intended to emit a warning signal, and a control unit. The control unit is intended to activate: the light source when the accelerometer measures a deceleration greater than or equal to a first predetermined deceleration threshold; and the communicator when the accelerometer measures a deceleration greater than or equal to a second predetermined deceleration threshold.
Helmet system and protective wearable system
A protective wearable system comprises a helmet for providing protection and enhancing safety to a rider on a vehicle. In one embodiment, the helmet comprises a LED display configured to produce visual information to vehicles and pedestrians surrounding the rider. The helmet further comprises a control module and a communication module configured to establish a point-to-multipoint communication group such that the rider can transmit or receive real-time and/or just-in-time information to other members of a riding group. The protective wearable system further comprises one or more illuminated wearables and accessories configured to produce light signals for clearly depicting silhouette of the rider and synchronized to the helmet for making the rider more visible and identifiable to nearby motorists.
Indication system
The indication system of the present invention includes an indication device and an activation device. The activation device includes a cover and an activator movable with the cover relatively. Wherein a first sensor is assembled inside the cover to generate a first signal by sensing a horizontal displacement of the activator, a second sensor is assembled inside the cover to generate a second signal by sensing a vertical displacement of the activator, and then a transmission unit transmits the first signal and the second signal to the indication device; the activator is constructed with a combination portion and a control portion separately on two opposite sides. When the control portion is driven by a user to move horizontally or vertically, the combination portion can drive an operation member to be displaced synchronously. The indicator light of the bike is activated synchronously in conjunction with the indication system of present invention.
HYBRID LASER/LED MODULAR LIGHT SOURCE WITH ENHANCED DIRECTIONAL ILLUMINATION
An improved vehicle light apparatus including an auxiliary light having a housing defining a front opening extending in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. A light emitting device is mounted in the housing. A transparent cover is mounted over the front opening. A rib extends rearwardly from the housing opposite the front opening and a plurality of fins are mounted on the rib.
Helmet lighting system and related method for monitoring vehicle status
A method for monitoring a vehicle status includes detecting a status of the vehicle, a helmet for the vehicle, or a component of the vehicle. A signal is transmitted wirelessly to a portable handheld device providing the notification to the user of the status of the vehicle, helmet, or vehicle component. Vehicle safety notifications and other information may also be relayed to the user through a software application operating on the handheld device.
IMPROVED SIGNALING DEVICE

Safety helmet
A safety helmet for enhancing visibility to road users. The safety helmet has a plurality of lights which are operatively connected to a power supply; at least one motion sensor which detects a behavioural characteristic of the cyclist and provides input signals to a controller, the controller operates in accordance with an algorithm whereby the signals are processed to determine appropriate timing of activation of the lights, in dependence upon the behavioural characteristic detected; and wherein switching signals from the controller switch on the lights to indicate actual or intended direction of travel.
