ABSTRACT:
A rotatable reflector for bicycles has a timer which intermittently completely halts rotation of the reflector in sequential positions in response to rotation of the reflector but independently of angular movement of a bicycle wheel. The reflector displays a changing colored reflective surface above a stationary housing of a contrasting color. The timer is liquid actuated and can be accurately calibrated by varying the viscosity of the liquid in the timer. Timed display of contrasting colored portions of the reflector attracts the attention of passing motorists by displaying a signal which appears to blink and change colors. The period during which each contrasting color is displayed is constant regardless of the velocity of the bicycle or relative wind velocity.
