Abstract

A flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication comprises: a casing; a ball shape compass for indication of direction; an upper side of the compass exposing out of the casing; a circuit board installed within the casing; the circuit board including a pressure sensing IC and a processor; the pressure sensing IC serving for sensing the atmosphere and converting the atmosphere into elevation; the processor being connected to the pressure sensing IC for receiving the signals from the pressure sensing IC; a display for displaying values about the elevation; a touch switch in contact with a lower side of the compass; when the compass is pressed, it will press the touch switch to actuate a power of the circuit board and thus the elements on the circuit board being actuated; and an LED lamp set installed on the lamp seat.

Claims

1. A flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication, comprising:

a casing;

the casing having a through hole;

a front end of an interior of the casing having a lamp seat;

a compass having a magnetic direction indicator and scales at an upper surface thereof for indication of direction;

an upper side of the compass exposing out of the casing from the through hole of the casing, while other portion of the compass being hidden within the casing;

a circuit board installed within the casing;

the circuit board includes a pressure sensing IC and a processor;

the pressure sensing IC serving for sensing the atmosphere and converting the atmosphere into elevation of the place locating the flash light;

the pressure sensing IC can transfer signals about the elevations of the flash light to outer side;

the processor being connected to the pressure sensing IC for receiving the signals from the pressure sensing IC and processing all signals in the flash light;

a display exposing out of a surface of the casing and being connected to the processor for displaying values about the elevation from the pressure sensing IC;

a touch switch installed within the casing and being in contact with a lower side of the compass;

when the compass is pressed, it will press the touch switch so as to actuate a power of the circuit board and thus the elements on the circuit board being actuated; and

an LED lamp set installed on the lamp seat at the front end of the casing;

the LED lamp set including at least one LED.

2. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compass has a ball like shape.

3. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1, wherein output signals from the pressure sensing IC are digital signals.

4. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1 wherein an air channel has one end connected to the pressure sensing IC and another end communicating to outer side of the casing for guiding outer air to the sensing point of the pressure sensing IC.

5. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display 60 is one of LED displays, LCD displays, and OLED displays.

6. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1, wherein an LED lamp set switch serves for actuating the LED lamp set;

when the LED lamp set switch is turned on, and if the touch switch also actuates the circuit board, the LED lamp set will light up;

on the contrary, when the LED lamp set switch is turned off, the LED lamp set will not light up.

7. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1, wherein the LED lamp set switch combines with a variator which is installed at an input end of the LED lamp set for controlling the illumination of the LED lamp set.

8. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1, wherein a lower side of the compass resists with at least one spring for providing resilient force as the ball shape compass is pressed so that the compass can restore to the original state.

9. The flash light for a bicycle with the function of direction and elevation indication as claimed in claim 1, wherein a battery set serves to provide power to the flash light.
