Description

Title of the invention: Visual safety device for bicycle

[0001] The bicycle, often called a bike in colloquial language, has become a means of transport like any other. The bicycle has become established in major cities around the world and this means of transport has a number of advantages that could establish it permanently in the landscape of our metropolises. Cycling has significant advantages: respect for the environment, health benefits, good for morale, increases thinking capacity and improves mood. Cycling in the city offers us a lot of freedom; we can use most roads: share the road with motorists, take cycle paths, etc. Cycling in the city presents some risks, as we share the path with other cyclists, we have to pay attention to cars, motorcycles and scooters, etc.

[0002] The problem when riding a bicycle is the lack of visibility, i.e. traffic, movement approaching from behind. Many cyclists wear headphones and do not hear the warning signals of cyclists or scooter users approaching from behind. To avoid small obstacles, the cyclist zigzags, veers sharply to the right or left without looking behind him, and this can turn into a tragedy.

[0003] The visual safety device for bicycle according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback, it is a bicycle comprising one or more on-board cameras and one or more dynamic display devices allowing the user of said bicycle to view traffic, movement and any kind of moving object approaching from behind and / or from the rear left side and / or from the rear right side of said bicycle.

[0004] Said Visual safety device for bicycle relates to the electric bicycle.

[0005] Said Visual Safety Device for Bicycles relates to all kinds of bicycles bicycle.

[0006] Said Visual Safety Device for Bicycle consists of: One or more cameras mounted with a day or night mode in said bicycle transmitting images, video data in real time, wirelessly and / or with wire to a dynamic display monitor, i.e. to a dynamic display screen, incorporated or mounted on the handlebars or other location of said bicycle, allowing the user of said bicycle to easily view the multimedia data, images and video transmitted by said cameras. The bicycle also includes motion detection sensors and radar. The bicycle in question accepts night vision cameras.

[0007] The attached drawings illustrate the invention:

[0008] [Fig. 1] represents a bicycle comprising the various locations that can accommodate cameras and one or more dynamic display monitors.

[0009] A dynamic display monitor (7) A saddle (5) A handlebar (8) A right-hand rearview mirror (4) A left-hand rearview mirror (3) A right-handed handle (2) A left handle (1) A seat post (6) A mudguard (9) A rear light (10)

[0010] With reference to these drawings:

[0011] According to one embodiment, the camera is placed in a location on said bicycle, which enables it to transmit images, video data of traffic, movement approaching from behind and / or from the rear left side and / or from the rear right side of said bicycle.

[0012] According to one embodiment, the invention relates to any device enabling the display over 170° and in real time of images, videos and multimedia data of traffic, movement approaching from behind and / or from the rear left side and / or from the rear right side of said bicycle.

[0013] According to one embodiment, the dynamic display monitor (7) includes a video data input for receiving video data from said cameras and display areas for displaying the video data.

[0014] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the left handle (1) of said bicycle.

[0015] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the right handle (2) of said bicycle.

[0016] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the left rearview mirror (3) of said bicycle.

[0017] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the right rearview mirror (4) of said bicycle.

[0018] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the rear part of the saddle (5) of said bicycle.

[0019] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the seat post (6) of said bicycle.

[0020] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the mudguard (9) of said bicycle.

[0021] According to one embodiment, the camera is installed or incorporated and positioned on the rear light (10) of said bicycle.

[0022] According to one embodiment, a radar, a motion detection system, with sensors installed in said bicycle, outputting data to an alarm when traffic, movement i.e. a vehicle, bicycle, scooter, motorcycle or a mobile object detected approaching from behind and / or from the rear left side and / or from the rear right side of said bicycle.
