Bicycle lamp capable of quickly attaching to saddle

A bicycle lamp includes a first adhesive layer provided with an external adhesive surface disposed on a first surface thereof and adapted to adhere to a bicycle saddle, a coupling module adhered to a second surface of the first adhesive layer opposite to the first surface, and a luminaire connectable to the coupling module. The luminaire is configured to be fixed in relation to the bicycle saddle or detached from the bicycle saddle through the coupling module.

BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to a lamp for a bicycle and, more particularly, to a bicycle lamp adapted for quickly attaching to a bicycle saddle.

Taiwan Patent No. TWI718974 discloses a bicycle saddle accessory coupling device, which includes a body, a first accessory, a second accessory, and a positioning unit. The body includes an attaching portion coupled to a bicycle saddle, a first connecting portion, and a second connecting portion located between the attaching portion and the first connecting portion. The first accessory includes a first guiding portion removably connected to the first connecting portion and a first coupling portion. The second accessory includes a second guiding portion removably connected to the second connecting portion and a second coupling portion. The positioning unit is disposed on the body and removably coupled to the first and coupling portions. Thus, the first and second accessories can indirectly attach to the bicycle saddle through the body.

However, the bicycle saddle accessory coupling device is attached to the bicycle saddle by clamping the rails of the saddle with its attaching portion, and a clamping mechanism of the attaching portion is fastened by screws, so that accessory coupling device needs a screwdriver for tightening the screws at regular intervals to ensure the tightness of the clamping mechanism.

Thus, a need exists for a novel bicycle lamp to mitigate and/or obviate the above disadvantages.

SUMMARY

An objective of the present invention is to provide a bicycle lamp including a first adhesive layer, a coupling module, and a luminaire. The first adhesive layer is provided with an external adhesive surface disposed on a first surface thereof and adapted to adhere to a bicycle saddle. The coupling module is adhered to a second surface of the first adhesive layer opposite to the first surface. The luminaire is connectable to the coupling module and configured to be fixed in relation to the bicycle saddle or detached from the bicycle saddle through the coupling module.

In a first embodiment, the coupling module includes a first hook-and-loop fastener, a second hook-and-loop fastener, and a second adhesive layer. The first hook-and-loop fastener is adhered to the second surface of the first adhesive layer. A first face of the second adhesive layer is adhered to the luminaire, and a second face of the second adhesive layer is adhered to the second hook-and-loop fastener. The second hook-and-loop fastener is detachably engageable with the first hook-and-loop fastener. The luminaire is fixed in relation to the bicycle saddle when the second hook-and-loop fastener is engaged with the first hook-and-loop fastener. The luminaire is detached from the bicycle saddle when the second hook-and-loop fastener is detached from the first hook-and-loop fastener.

In a second embodiment, the coupling module includes a support base adhered to the second surface of the first adhesive layer. The luminaire is slidably connected to the support base or detached from the support base.

In the second embodiment, the support base is provided with a top portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion. The top portion is adhered to the second surface of the first adhesive layer. The first side portion and the second side portion are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the top portion. An internal surface of the first side portion protrudes a first sliding flange. An internal surface of the second side portion protrudes a second sliding flange. A first side of the luminaire is recessed a first sliding groove and a second side of the luminaire is recessed a second sliding groove. The first sliding flange is slidably engaged with the first sliding groove. The second sliding flange is slidably engaged with the second sliding groove.

In the second embodiment, the first side portion connects a flexible toggle switch with an engaging flange. The first side of the luminaire is provided with an engaging recess. The flexible toggle switch is able to elastically, deform so that the engaging flange is engaged with or disengaged from the engaging recess. The luminaire cannot be detached from the support base when the engaging flange is engaged with the engaging recess.

In a third embodiment, the support base is provided with a top portion adhered to the second surface of the first adhesive layer. A face of the top portion opposite to the first adhesive layer protrudes a sliding flange. A side of the luminaire is recessed a sliding groove slidably engaged with the sliding flange.

In the third embodiment, the support base is provided with a holding portion extended from the top portion. The holding portion has a magnet member. One end of the luminaire has an attracted member magnetically attracted with the magnet member when the luminaire is connected to the support base.

In the third embodiment, the holding portion protrudes a positioning flange disposed adjacent to the magnet member. The end of the luminaire is provided with a positioning recess disposed adjacent to the attracted member. The positioning flange is engaged with the positioning recess when the luminaire is connected to the support base.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIGS.1-3show a bicycle lamp10of a first embodiment according to the present invention. The bicycle lamp10includes a first adhesive layer20, a coupling module30, and a luminaire40.

The first adhesive layer20is provided with an external adhesive surface21disposed on a first surface thereof, and the external adhesive surface21is adapted to be adhered to a bicycle saddle90.

The coupling module30is adhered to a second surface of the first adhesive layer20opposite to the first surface.

The luminaire40is connectable to the coupling module30and configured to be fixed in relation to the bicycle saddle90or detached from the bicycle saddle90through the coupling module30.

In the embodiment, the coupling module30includes a first hook-and-loop fastener31, a second hook-and-loop fastener32, and a second adhesive layer33. The first hook-and-loop fastener31is adhered to the second surface of the first adhesive layer20. A first face of the second adhesive layer33is adhered to the luminaire40, and a second face of the second adhesive layer33is adhered to the second hook-and-loop fastener32. The second hook-and-loop fastener32is detachably engageable with the first hook-and-loop fastener31. The luminaire40is fixed in relation to the bicycle saddle90when the second hook-and-loop fastener32is engaged with the first hook-and-loop fastener31. The luminaire40is detached from the bicycle saddle90when the second hook-and-loop fastener32is detached from the first hook-and-loop fastener31.

Therefore, the bicycle lamp10can provide a quick coupling structure for attaching to the bicycle saddle, and the bicycle lamp10does not need screws and tools to attach to the bicycle saddle.
