ABSTRACT:
A light transmissive, including reflective and refractive visual warning device for attachment from the handle grips of a bicycle or motorcycle, to indicate the presence of the user to car drivers, is carried upon a short flexible suspension means, such as a pigtail or a ball chain or rotatable connector, permitting unrestricted motion and displacement, by which in the case of the ball chain or other rotatable connector permits spinning and other displacements due to motion. The device, preferably in the form of a double-faced triangle or multi-faced planar or curved fin shape may have one reflective face of reflective microspheres or retro-reflective micro-prisms and the other a holographic metallized mirror having an arrangement of multi-faceted reflective patterns possessing light refractive characteristics. One embodiment comprises a bicycle handgrip incorporating a wind-driven spinner rotatably mounted in the rear end of the grip, and having at least one light reflective, rotatable surface. Other embodiments may incorporate luminous coating material and/or light emitting diodes (LED's).
