ABSTRACT:
Self-contained starboard and port light units that are receivable in the back-swept hollow arms of a bicycle handlebar to provide blinking light signals that are highly visible to drivers of vehicles to the rear of the bicyclist. Each unit includes a tubular battery case adapted to wedge into a handlebar arm. The open front end of the case projects from the arm and has an edge contact thereon that is connected to the base pole of the battery whose center pole is exposed at the front end of the case. Coupled to the front end of the case is a rotatable beacon assembly formed by a lens and a cylindrical mounting therefor within which is a light bulb whose center terminal engages the center pole of the battery and whose base terminal is connected to a movable switch contact that only engages the edge contact on the case when the rotatable assembly is caused to assume a particular angular position. The light bulb incorporates a thermostatic interrupter to effect intermittent energization thereof.
