ABSTRACT:
This invention comprises an attachment for a bicycle and the like.
It provides a safety device with a reflector to protect the operator of the bicycle from collision with other vehicles which may not see the bicycle.
The feature of the invention is an extension arm which has mounted at its end a reflector or signaling device.
The novelty of the invention is in the ability to rotate the extension arm backward or forward so that it becomes parallel to the bicycle wheel and also the ability to rotate the extension arm on its own axis 360.degree. so that the signaling device can be adjusted to a predetermined angle.
There is a tongue mounted between the two segments of the extension arm. The tongue has fulcrum swivel mounts for permitting the arm to rotate on the swivel mounts.
The tongue is integral with a cylinder
The cylinder is locked into a clamp.
When the clamp is loosened, the cylinder can be rotated within the clamp, causing the rotation of the tongue and thereby rotating and changing the position of the reflector or signaling device so that its angle of reflection may be set to a desired position.
The clamp that holds the cylinder is integral with and a part of the body of another clamp which is attached to the fork or flange of the bicycle.
