Electronic odometer in particular for a cycle
First Claim
1. An electronic odometer in particular for a cycle, comprising a case having a bottom and a cover pivotally mounted on said bottom, a micro-processor in the case, a sensor of movements for associating with a wheel of the cycle and connected to the micro-processor, display means connected to said micro-processor for displaying items of information, such as distance, speed of time information, a signal generator connected to said micro-processor and adapted for identifying under the control of said micro-processor the nature of said items of information displayed on said display means, and at least a first control key relating to the display of items of information processed in the micro-processor, said first control key being constituted by said cover of the case, said signal generator emitting signals respectively corresponding to the nature of the items of information displayed on said display means, a switch adapted to control through said micro-processor main functions of the odometer, said switch being associated with said first control key and connected to the micro-processor, the actuation of said switch resulting in the display of items of information processed by said micro-processor and the emission by the signal generator of signals characterizing the displayed items of information.
