Abstract

A bicycle light assembly includes a case having a light unit connected to a front end thereof and a solar panel is connected to a top of the case. Multiple batteries are received in the case and electrically connected with the solar panel. A connection unit is connected to an underside of the case and connected to a handlebar of a bicycle. The solar panel absorbs the solar energy which is transferred into electric power to be stored in the batteries such that the batteries have longer life of use.

Claims

1. A bicycle light assembly comprising:

a case having a light unit connected to a front end thereof and a solar panel connected to a top of the case, multiple batteries received in the case and electrically connected with the solar panel, and

a connection unit connected to an underside of the case and adapted to be connected to a handlebar of a bicycle.

2. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the case includes a room defined in an underside thereof and the room is located close to a rear end of the case, the batteries are received in the room, a cover engaged with the underside of the case and seals the room.

3. The assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the case has an engaging member extending from the underside of the rear end thereof and the engaging member has a bent portion which extends toward the front end of the case, the cover has an engaging recess which is located corresponding to the engaging member.

4. The assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the cover has a rail on an underside thereof which extends from the front end of the case toward the rear end of the case, the rail includes a free distal end, a notch is defined in an underside of the rail, the connection unit includes a slot and the rail is slidably engaged with the slot, a protrusion extends from an inner surface thereof and is engaged with the notch when the rail is engaged with the slot.

5. The assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein the connection unit comprises a flexible plate extending from the inner surface of the slot and the protrusion is located on the flexible plate, an operation portion extends from the flexible plate at an angle.

6. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection unit comprises two arms which are adapted to clamp the handlebar, a fastening member extends through the two arms to pull the two arms toward each other.

7. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the case has a switch connected to an underside thereof and located close to the light unit.
