Description

TELEMATIC DEVICE FOR BICYCLES OR SIMILAR VEHICLES
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a telematic device for bicycles or similar vehicles.
Background Art
Telematic appliances are known which, once installed on board a vehicle, are able to detect the modes of use of the vehicle itself over time.
The appliances of known type generally comprise a local exchange which can be installed on board the vehicle, inside the compartment, and connectable to the electronics of the vehicle itself.
Such appliances also comprise a radio-wave device, of the type commonly used in the mobile phone field such as, e.g., a GSM, GPRS, UMTS transceiver or the like.
The radio-wave device, in particular, supports the sending of information gathered by the appliance to a remote data processing and storage unit.
Eventually, the radio-wave device is employed for receiving, from the remote unit, updates of the management software of the appliance on board the vehicle. These appliances generally also comprise a satellite receiver, the type of a GPS receiver or the like, which allows for the localization of the vehicle using the detected coordinates of latitude, longitude and, possibly, altitude.
In practice, the operation of the appliance involves the gathering, at regular time intervals, or following exceptional events, such as e.g. the attempted theft of the vehicle, of information relating to the position of the vehicle via the GPS receiver and the subsequent transmission of such information to the remote unit by means of the radio-wave device.
The information gathered this way by the remote unit is then processed for the determination of useful data for the specific area of application.
More information can be gathered by the appliance through the use of additional devices such as, e.g., one or more accelerometers installed on the vehicle and able to detect sudden accelerations and decelerations and/or by means of a gyroscope for the detection of displacements.
The accelerometer can be employed for the example in the insurance field to determine the way an accident occurs and, therefore, the responsibilities involved with it.
Description of the Invention
The main aim of the present invention is to provide a telematic device for bicycles or similar vehicles which is able to gather information about the use and/or attempted theft of the bicycle in an effective way.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a telematic device for bicycles or similar vehicles that is safe and easily installable on board a bicycle. Another object of the present invention is to provide a telematic device for bicycles or similar vehicles which allows to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art within the ambit of a simple, rational, easy and effective to use as well as affordable solution.

Advantageously, the telematic device 1 comprises immovable fastening means of the support means 4 to the bicycle A, illustrated altogether in Figures 3, 4 and 5 with reference number 14, able to prevent the removal of the support means 4 and, therefore, of the telematic device 1 from bicycle A.
In particular, the immovable fastening means 14 comprise a retaining element
15 connected to the support means 4 and fixable to the frame of bicycle A.
With reference to the preferred embodiment illustrated in the figures, the retaining element 15 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is easily insertable snugly within the sleeve C of the frame of bicycle A.
Conveniently, at least one portion of the external surface of said retaining element 15 has at least a knurling positionable in contact with the internal surface of the sleeve C and able to operate in contrast to the removal from the sleeve itself.
The immovable fastening means 14 also comprise a connecting element 17 having a substantially elongated shape and able to connect the support means 4 to the retaining element 15.
Preferably, the connecting element 17 is made up of a steel cable of predetermined length having an extremity anchored to a suitable holder 18 fixed inside the seat post support 12 and an opposite extremity which is associable with the retaining element 15.
In particular, with reference to the preferred embodiment illustrated in the figures, the cable 17 is inserted axially sliding within a through hole 19 on the retaining element 15 and has, at the free extremity opposite the holder 18, an abutment element 20 able to engage on the retaining element 15 in case of attempted removal of the seat post support 12 from the sleeve C.
Conveniently, the abutment element 20 is wedge-shaped and is insertable within a respective conical opening obtained in the lower portion of the retaining element 15.
