Definitions

  • the second problem is one of great importance considering the number of thefts of motor vehicles that occur, especially of motorcycles, their weight and size making them easy to carry away.
  • the main object of the above invention is to make wearing a crash helmet unavoidable, when riding a motorcycle by overcoming the instinctive objection of some motorcyclists, offering at the same time a highly efficient anti-theft system that makes it almost impossible to steal the motorcycle.
  • Subject of the invention is an electronic safety system for motorcyclists that comprises interacting electronic devices placed in the helmet and on the vehicle.
  • the device in the helmet is a transmitter that transmits an enabling signal to a receiving device in the vehicle.
  • the receiving device closes the circuit of a safety device inserted in the electric circuit of the engine which can thereby only be started after receiving said enabling signal.
  • Said signal is only transmitted when the motorcyclists has put the helmet on his head.
  • the transmitter device fitted into the helmet comprises an electro ⁇ magnetic-wave transmitting circuit, a 50Hz modulator for increasing the power peak dissipatable by an emitter diode, and therefore the capacity of the transmitter, a signal coder and a feed battery.
  • the receiver device placed in the vehicle comprises an electromagnetic- wave receiving circuit, a signal decoder, an adjustable timer, a control logic connected to a siren, with a buzzer and with a safety circuit for the engine, and a battery.
  • the receiver device closes the safety circuit of the engine thus allowing it to be turned on, only when it has recognised the code received cor ⁇ responding to the code which has been set into said receiving circuit. If, after a previously determined period of movement, the enabling signal is not transmitted from the helmet, the control logic for said receiver device operates the buzzer to inform the motorcyclist that the engine is about to be turned off, after a certain interval of time if transmission of the enabling signal has not been resumed.
  • the transmitter device in the helmet comprises a series-connected dipper interrupter so placed that said interruptor is only closed when the helmet assumes the position corresponding to its being worn on the head of the driver, the purpose of this being to avoid needless consumption of the battery when the helmet is not in use and is lying on one side or overturned.
  • the electromagnetic waves are preferably infrared so that the enabling signal is given, on starting up the vehicle, only when helmet and vehicle are duly aligned This alignment is facilitated by the position of the infrared-ray transmitting circuit on the front of the crash helmet and by the position of the infrared- ray detecting receiver circuit substantially in the middle of the dashboard.
  • the enabling signal ceases, thus automatically stopping the engine even after it has been started, at the end of a certain period following an acoustic warning if the driver's head is not in the right position in relation to the dashboard, this being done to prevent the d ⁇ ver becoming danger ⁇ ously distracted from the job of driving.
  • the electromagnetic waves are radio-frequency waves but even so the characteristics of the other devices remain sub- stantially unaltered.
  • the electromagnetic waves are electric signals transmitted by electric wiring connecting the helmet to the vehicle.
  • the main characteristics of the other devices remain substantially unaltered.
  • a flashing green LED on the dashboard is shown by a flashing green LED on the dashboard.
  • the receiver device comprises a key-operated contact and, in emergencies such as the system completely breaking down or the battery becoming exhausted, this is useful as closing the contact produces the same effect as receiving a pulse permitting the motorcycle to move for a certain time.
  • the key cannot however be left in to maintain this contact as it must be closed and re-opened at intervals longer than a certain period of time.
  • the LED warning light and the infrared-ray detector in the receiver can be fitted into a single hole in the motorcycle's dashboard.
  • the detector can be mounted behind the LED to receive the signal through the LED's transparent cover.
  • a single device can be used for both siren and buzzer, the former operating at full power and the latter at reduced power.
  • the invention offers evident advantages.
  • the system described comprises circuits applicable not only to helmets and motorcycles of future design but also to those at present on sale. It is absolutely impossible to start the engine without first putting on the helmet and this is most important to ensure greater safety for the driver.
  • a particular advantage of the infrared-ray circuit is that, being directional, it determines the necessary connection for starting the vehicle only when the transmitter and the receiver are visible one to another; in other words the driver cannot hold the helmet under his arm and even less stow it away under the saddle.
  • Another advantage it that the driver's attention cannot be distracted from the road as if his head is in the wrong position the sound circuit produces an annoying kind of whistle.
  • the transmission circuit could be activated without the driver wearing the helmet, he would still have to hold it close to the vehicle's handlebars.

  • Closure of the contact using the key 61 has the same effect as reception of a pulse that permits forward movement for three minutes.
  • the printed circuit 51 and battery 60 are placed in the bonnet 42.
  • the control logic 54 is connected to an engine locking device 62 similar to the well-known anti-theft devices that act on the engine's ignition circuit and permit the engine to be started up if the helmet is not being worn.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité électronique pour motocyclistes qui comporte des organes électroniques (20, 50), un ensemble émetteur-récepteur (20) d'infrarouges dont l'émetteur (28) est placé sur la partie frontale du casque protecteur (10) et dont le récepteur (50), placé sur le véhicule, est doté d'un capteur placé sur le tableau de bord (41). Ledit récepteur déclenche un dispositif de sécurité électronique équipant le moteur de façon à permettre sa mise en marche et à n'autoriser le déplacement du véhicule que sur réception par l'ensemble émetteur-récepteur d'un signal d'autorisation qui n'est transmis que si le casque est positionné sur la tête du motocycliste, ceci empêchant que le motocycliste ne conduise le véhicule sans casque sur la tête et empêchant également le vol dudit véhicule.
