Rider separation detecting device
First Claim
1. A rider separation detecting device for detecting the separation of a rider (M) from a rider'"'"'s seat of a vehicle comprising:
- a cable connected at one end of the cable to one of a garment worn by said rider (M) and a vehicle body (B) of said vehicle;
winding means having a drum connected to the other end of said cable and rotationally biased in a direction of winding of said cable;
said winding means being provided on the other of said garment and said vehicle body;
rotational angle detecting means for detecting a rotational angle of said winding means; and
separation determining means for determining the separation of said rider (M) from said rider'"'"'s seat according to a detection value from said rotational angle detecting means.

Abstract
A rider separation detecting device for precisely and quickly detecting the separation of a rider from a rider'"'"'s seat. The rider separation detecting device includes a cable connected at one end thereof to one of a garment worn by the rider and a vehicle body, and winding mechanism having a drum connected to the other end of the cable and rotationally biased in a direction of winding of the cable. The winding mechanism is provided on the other of the garment and the vehicle body. Also included are a rotational angle detecting mechanism for detecting a rotational angle of the winding mechanism, and separation determining mechanism for determining the separation of the rider from the rider'"'"'s seat according to a detection value from the rotational angle detecting mechanism. The device ensures proper detection and a good external appearance without hindering a normal action of the rider on the rider'"'"'s seat.
