  • the advantage of the solution according to the invention is, that in the dark, respectively under poor visibility the cyclists, respectively the motor-cyclists can indicate direction when winding. It improves safety both for the cyclist and the motor-cyclist, as well as for the other participants of the traffic. It decreases to a great extent the probability of accidents resulting from winding.
  • the device according to the invention has an independent power source, it can signal in every direction with great light force, its switching on takes place almost instinctively, without distracting the attention of the driver. All this is granted with a small weight, in waterproof finish ensuring the proper positioning of the displacement detector.
  • An additional advantage of the device according to the invention made of flexible plastic, that it can be fixed on the wrist or taken off the wrist without an additional closing element. It makes the use easy to a great extent. The positioning on the wrist takes place automatically after putting on, it does not need additional movement. From production point of view it is also easier, because it can be produced in a few steps with a simple technological procedure.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un indicateur de circulation avec LED intégrée dans un bracelet pour cyclistes et motocyclistes, qui se trouve sur les poignets droit et gauche des cyclistes et des motocyclistes et qui commute suite à un déplacement du bras. L'objet de l'invention a pour rôle de rendre visible la traditionnelle indication de la main de changement de direction dans l'obscurité et dans de mauvaises conditions de visibilité. L'appareil selon l'invention peut se fixer au bras ou au poignet et son capot contient des diodes électroluminescentes (LED) reliées électriquement d'une unité visible à une unité clignotante. Il est caractérisé en ce qu'un circuit imprimé (3) électronique souple à couche mince, muni de LED (4) fixées par soudage ou par collage, est disposé entre le capot inférieur (6) et le capot supérieur (7) d'un appareil (1) réalisé sous la forme d'un bracelet pouvant être fixé au bras ou au poignet. L'appareil selon l'invention est fabriqué dans un matériau souple et se compose d'un capot inférieur allongé (6) et d'un capot supérieur allongé (7), eux aussi constitués d'un matériau souple et assemblés l'un à l'autre. Il existe en outre au centre du capot inférieur (6) un logement de pile ou batterie (9) adapté pour accueillir une source d'énergie (2), par exemple une pile bouton ou une batterie sèche de type bouton, et au-dessus dudit logement de pile ou batterie (9) se trouve un détecteur de mouvement (10) qui détecte le déplacement du bras ainsi qu'une unité à lumière clignotante (8), lesquels sont fixés mécaniquement et reliés électriquement au circuit imprimé (3) par soudage ou par collage.
