Abstract

A bicycle light attachment assembly includes a bracket, a lamp and a clamping member. The lamp is coupled to the bracket and the clamping member is pivotally coupled to the bracket. The clamping member and the bracket are arranged to clamp onto a brake mechanism supporting member on a bicycle frame.

Claims (38)

1. A bicycle light attachment assembly comprising:

a bracket including a clamping end and a lamp supporting end, the clamping end formed with first hinge portion and the clamping member formed with a second hinge portion, the first and second hinge portions pivotally coupled to one another;

a lamp coupled to the bracket; and

a clamping member pivotally coupled to the bracket, the clamping member and the bracket arranged to clamp onto a brake mechanism supporting member on a bicycle frame.

2. The bicycle light attachment assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a fixing bolt that extends through portions of the clamping end of the bracket and the clamping member providing a clamping force therebetween.

3. The bicycle light attachment assembly according to claim 2 wherein

the fixing bolt extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the brake mechanism supporting member with the bicycle light affachment assembly installed on the brake mechanism supporting member.

4. The bicycle light attachment assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pivot pin extending through the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion pivotally coupling the first hinge portion to the second hinge portion.

5. The bicycle light attachment assembly according to claim 4 wherein

the pivot pin extends in a direction generally parallel to the brake mechanism supporting member with the bicycle light attachment assembly installed on the brake mechanism supporting member.

6. The bicycle light attachment assembly according to claim 5 further comprising:

a fixing bolt extending through portions of the clamping end of the bracket and the clamping member, the fixing bolt extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the pivot pin.

7. The bicycle light attachment assembly according to claim 1 wherein

the lamp is adjustably attached to the lamp supporting end of the bracket.

8. The bicycle light attachment assembly according to claim 7 wherein

the lamp extends in a direction away from the clamping end of the bracket.

9. A bicycle light attachment assembly comprising:

a bracket;

a lamp coupled to the bracket; and

a clamping member pivotally coupled to the bracket, the clamping member and the bracket arranged to clamp onto a brake mechanism supporting member on a bicycle frame,

a portion of the bracket and a portion of the clamping member being formed with engaging surfaces shaped to conform to a surface of the brake mechanism supporting member.

10. A bicycle light attachment assembly comprising:

a bracket;

a lamp coupled to the bracket; and

a clamping member pivotally coupled to the bracket, the clamping member and the bracket arranged to clamp onto a brake mechanism supporting member on a bicycle frame,

the bracket extending in a direction approximately parallel to the brake mechanism supporting member with the bicycle light attachment assembly installed on the brake mechanism supporting member.

11. A bicycle light attachment assembly comprising:

a bracket;

a lamp coupled to the bracket; and

a clamping member pivotally coupled to the bracket, the clamping member and the bracket arranged to clamp onto a brake mechanism supporting member on a bicycle frame,

the brake mechanism supporting member being arranged and configured to support a caliper-type brake assembly.

12. A bicycle light attachment assembly comprising:

a bracket;

a lamp coupled to the bracket; and

a clamping member pivotally coupled to the bracket, the clamping member and the bracket arranged to clamp onto a brake mechanism supporting member on a bicycle frame,

the brake mechanism supporting member being arranged and configured to support a brake arm of a cantilever brake system.
