- this allows the mounting flange 95 to be mounted in the grip recess where it can be rotated by a user to stay level or at a desired angle with respect to the door handle.
- Providing a second axis of rotation also allows the flap 100 to have a variety of mounting options or configurations near the door handle making it suitable for use on irregular surfaces.
- the switching circuit 15 is shown as a PCB assembly, including a battery 10, tilt switch 105, and warning device 20.
- the PCB may further include other components, such as capacitors, resistors, and diodes.
- the tilt switch 105 is operatively coupled to the warning device 20 and configured to have a first switch position when the flap 100 is closed and a second switch position when the flap is open or partially open.
- the warning device 20 is activated when the tilt switch 105 is in the second position so as to activate the warning device 20 when the flap 100 is in the open or partially open position.
- the tilt switch 105 deactivates the warning device 20.
- other mechanical switches may be employed to activate the warning device 20, such as, but not limited to, attitude switches, magnetic switches, toggle switches, and pressure sensitive switches.
- control circuity may be employed for controlling the warning device 20 based on the position of the tilt switch 105.
- the control circuitry may employ a microcontroller or other circuitry for continuously monitoring the position of the tilt switch and controlling activation and deactivation of the warning device 20.
- the tilt switch 105 switches between an open position and a closed position based on the angular orientation of the switch. In one embodiment, when the tilt switch is in the open position indicative of providing access to the door handle or nearing to providing access to the door handle, electrical power is supplied to the warning device 20 to activate a warning light. When the tilt switch is in the closed position indicative of not providing access to the door handle, electrical power is not supplied to the warning light.
- FIG. 7a there is shown the rear of a vehicle 1 15, with two rearward facing auxiliary warning devices 45 attached to the interior side of a rear window 1 10 such that they are generally viewable by a cyclist approaching the vehicle from behind.
- the higher portion of the rear window is chosen as being in the cyclist's line of sight without obstructing the field of view from within the vehicle 1 15.
- the auxiliary warning devices 45 are attached to the window 1 10 with brackets, as shown in FIG. 7b.
- FIG. 7b there is shown an auxiliary warning device 45 removably attached to a bracket 120.
- the bracket 120 includes a universal ball joint 130, the function of which permits flexible yet substantially secure manual adjustment of the auxiliary warning device 45 to any desired angle.
- the bracket 120 is attached to the rear window 1 10 by an adhesive or double sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape 125.
- the remaining elements shown in FIG. 7b are identical to FIG. 4 and so share the same references.
- the kit may include four detection devices 5, one for each door handle; four auxiliary warning devices 45, two for attachment to each side view mirror, i.e. driver side and passenger side, and two for attachment to each side of a rear window; the kit may also be supplied with brackets 120 and adhesive tape 125.
- the present invention provides a number of advantages and improvements over prior art approaches to warning cyclists an occupant of a parked vehicle is about to open a door. More particularly, the door opening alert system provides a detection device arranged so that is cannot be readily avoided by a person attempting to access the door handle. Therefore, the vehicle occupant is reminded to look out for cyclists, before the door handle is grasped by the occupant. This causes the warning device to be activated at the appropriate time, i.e. immediately before the vehicle door is opened, allowing sufficient time for the occupant to make a head check for any hazards. Moreover, an auxiliary device disposed on the rear windscreen provides warning to approaching cyclists at the appropriate time, i.e. immediately before the vehicle door is opened, allowing sufficient time for the cyclist to adjust stopped or direction to avoid collision. Finally, it is a distinct advantage of the door opening alert system of the present invention that is can be simply an inexpensively retrofitted to existing vehicles in many different combinations.
