PROGRAMMABLE DEVICES FOR ALERTING VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A programmable device for alerting vehicles and pedestrians, comprising:
- a housing having an attachment mechanism and an actuator disposed thereon, the attachment configured for engagement with a portion of a bicycle on a location proximate to at least one hand of a user while the user is in a riding position on the bicycle;
a data input component disposed along the housing and configured to receive at least one audio file;
a speaker in electrical communication with the data input and operably coupled with the actuator, the speaker configured to produce sound corresponding to the at least one audio file upon engagement of the actuator by the user; and
at least one light source operably coupled with the actuator, the at least one light source configured to produce at least one lighting projection configuration upon engagement of the actuator by the user.
