摘要 | A fender-mounted bicycle safety light is disclosed. The safety light includes a lower cover, having a bottom, a surrounding wall, two positioning posts on the bottom. A top of the surrounding wall is formed with a first step. A positioning protrusion and a threaded rod outward extend from the bottom. An upper cover is assembled with the lower cover and has a surrounding edge, a hole, and a diffuser board secured in the hole. A top of the surrounding edge is formed with a second step corresponding to the first step. A sealing ring is pressed between the first step and the second step. A circuit board being is fastened to the lower cover and has LEDs, a switch and two positioning holes. The two positioning holes are separately passed by the two positioning posts. | ||||||

说明书全文 | 1. Technical Field The invention relates to bicycle lights, particularly to safety lights. 2. Related Art Such a safety light is complicated to assemble because the tube 5, sleeve mount 6 and tail mount 7 must be assembled one by one. It cannot be completed in a single step. Furthermore, the structure of the safety light is not provided with a waterproof mechanism. It is easy to cause damage because of interpenetration of water. An object of the invention is to provide a bicycle safety light, which can be efficiently and easily assembled. Thus the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Another object of the invention is to provide a bicycle safety light, which has a waterproof function. Still another object of the invention is to provide a bicycle safety light, which can be easily and matchingly mounted on a fender. To accomplish the above objects, the safety light of the invention includes a lower cover, having a bottom, a surrounding wall, two positioning posts on the bottom. A top of the surrounding wall is formed with a first step. A positioning protrusion and a threaded rod outward extend from the bottom. An upper cover is assembled with the lower cover and has a surrounding edge, a hole, and a diffuser board secured in the hole. A top of the surrounding edge is formed with a second step corresponding to the first step. A sealing ring is pressed between the first step and the second step. A circuit board being is fastened to the lower cover and has LEDs, a switch and two positioning holes. The two positioning holes are separately passed by the two positioning posts. Please refer to The circuit board 4 has a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) 41, a switch 40 and two positioning holes 42, 43. The circuit board 4 is fastened into the lower cover 2 by a screw a. The two positioning holes 42, 43 are separately passed by the two positioning posts 20, 21. Two wires 44, 45 pass through the water-resistant sleeve 221a to connect a battery. The upper cover 1 corresponds to the lower cover 2 in shape to assemble therewith. The upper cover 1 has a surrounding edge 10a, a switch hole 13, a lighting hole 14, and a diffuser board 140 secured in the lighting hole 14. A top of the surrounding edge 10a is formed with a second step corresponding to the first step. The second step is formed by an inner portion 10 and an outer portion 11 which is higher than the inner portion 10 in height. Four latches 15 extend from the inner portion 10 of the second step for separately engaging with the four holed seats 220 of the lower cover 2. A groove 12 is formed between the inner portion 10 and the outer portion 11 of the second step. A sealing ring 24 is placed in the groove 12 to be pressed between the first step and the second step for resisting water. The switch hole 13 is provided with a water-resistant plug 130. The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2 are fixed to each other by engagement of the holed seats 220 and the latches 15. Please refer to It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the above embodiment has been described by way of example only and not in any limitative sense, and that various alterations and modifications are possible without departure from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. |
