VEST

Abstract

The present invention relates to a vest (1), comprising a strap (2), which is characterized in that the strap (2) comprises a lockable lock (2.1).

Claims

1. Vest (1), comprising a signalling device (3), wherein the signalling device (3) is set up to light up during braking, characterized in that the signalling device (3) comprises an acceleration sensor (3.1).

2. Vest (1) according to claim 1, wherein the signalling device (3) glows in a first state with a first intensity and glows in a braking process with a second intensity, wherein the second intensity is greater than the first intensity.

3. Vest (1) according to claim 1, wherein the signalling device (3) comprises at least one red light-emitting LED (3.2) which light up during braking.

4. Vest (1) according to claim 3, wherein the signalling device (3) comprises at least one white light-emitting LED (3.3) which do not light up during braking.

5. Vest (1) according to claim 1, further comprising a strap (2), characterized in that the strap (2) comprises a lockable lock (2.1).

6. Vest (1) according to claim 5, wherein the lock (2.1) comprises a combination lock, a lockable lock by means of a key and/or an electromechanical lock.

7. Vest (1) according to claim 5, wherein a webbing (2.2) of the strap (2) comprises a cut-resistant textile, such as aramid for example.

8. Use of a vest (1) comprising a strap (2) with a lockable lock (2.1), in particular, a vest (1) according to a claim referring back to claim 5 for connecting a two-wheeler to a fixed object.

Description

[0026] The invention as well as the technical environment are explained in the following on the basis of the figures in an exemplary manner. The figures show schematically

[0027] FIG. 1: a front view of a vest,

[0028] FIG. 2: a rear view of a vest and

[0029] FIG. 3: the vest in a state adjacent to a two-wheeler on an object.

[0030] The vest 1 shown in the figures has a strap 2, whose webbing 2.2 is passed through a channel in the vest. At the ends of the webbing 2.2 a lock part 2.1a and 2.1b of a lockable lock is attached.

[0031] The lock part 2.2 can be plugged into the lock part 2.1, wherein the loosening of the lock part 2.1 can be prevented by means of a locking device that can be operated by means of a key or a combination of numbers.

[0032] On the front side of the vest 1 visible in FIG. 1, white luminous LEDs 3.1 of a signalling device 3 are attached. On the back side of vest 1 visible in FIG. 2, two stripes of red LEDs 3.2 are attached. LEDs 3.2 and 3.3 are connected to a control system comprising an acceleration sensor 3.1. The control is set up in such a way that both LEDs 3.2 and 3.3 light up when a moving carrier of the vest 1 is detected. If a braking operation of a wearer of the vest 1 is detected by means of the acceleration sensor 3.1, the red LEDs 3.2 light up with a higher intensity. The road users following the wearer of the vest 1 are thus visually informed of the braking process.

[0033] The webbing 2.2 of the strap 2 is made of a cut-resistant material such as aramid fibres for example. When the wearer of the vest 1 has reached his destination, he/she can roll up the vest in a suitable manner and use the strap 2 to connect the two-wheeler to a stationary object, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0034] The vest 1 thus fulfils a plurality of functions. On the one hand, it warns the following road users against braking the wearer of the vest and on the other hand, it can be used at the destination to secure the two-wheeler against theft.
