ABSTRACT:
A bicycle or motor bike warning signal device is provided which may be mounted on a supporting element on a bicycle, such as a rear frame member of the bicycle, or on a bicycle rack or carrier at the rear of the bicycle, or on the frame of a motor bike, and includes a supporting rod or arm and attached light-reflective warning signal element which are manually movable by the bicycle or motor bike rider from a generally vertical and ineffective or daylight position at one side of the bicycle frame or the bicycle rack, or from the frame of a motor bike, into a generally horizontal and nighttime warning signal position at one side of the bicycle or motor bike. The warning signal device includes a supporting rod or arm on the outer end portion of which a light-reflective warning signal element is mounted, and a first mounting or clamping means for mounting the supporting rod or arm and attached light-reflective warning signal element on a supporting element on a bicycle, such as on a rear frame member of a bicycle, or on the frame of a motor bike, and a second and pivotal mounting means for pivotally and rotatably mounting the supporting rod or arm and attached light-reflective warning signal element on the first mounting or clamping means. The new warning signal device may also be arranged in horizontal position, in daylight, to warn drivers of cars or other vehicles to maintain a suitable distance from the bicycle or motor bike on which the new warning signal is mounted.
