the route, of those whose approach is of imminent impact, with an approximate margin of 150m, depending on the capacity of the radar used that contemplates the device, giving the user the possibility to react and avoid the collision. In this way, it ensures the life and safety of cyclists, preventing the vehicle from hitting them.

More specifically, the equipment of the invention comprises, in its most basic embodiment, at least, the following:

A camera, located at the rear of the user, that displays and records the back of the road or roadway. An important feature of this part of the invention is that the anchoring device in which said camera is held, preferably on the bicycle itself, has a joint that allows a relative rotation of the camera to focus in the correct direction.

And an image receiver, to visualize and record what the camera captures, which, equipped with a fixing element and connected by Wi-Fi, bluetooth or cable, is a device consisting of a smartphone, on a screen located on the handlebar or on a bracelet located on the rider's wrist, or is a cycloprocessor adapted for it, or a pair of Smart glasses or other appropriate device.

In a more complete variant, the equipment, in addition to the camera and the image receiver, whatever, also includes a radar proximity sensor, preferably incorporated next to the camera, and which, when activated, sends the signal to to the image receiver so that the user can see at all times the approach of the vehicles; The radar warning range is currently about 150m, allowing time to react if the trajectory of the radar is collision.

However, in a preferred variant of the invention, the proposed equipment comprises a camera, a radar, an image receiver and a predictive software that analyzes the approach of the vehicles and alerts the user when a vehicle exceeds the shoulder line or the It is a collision character, which activates the radar sensor and sends a visual and / or auditory alert signal to the receiver so that the user becomes aware of the danger. In addition, said software also analyzes and indicates the speed of the approaching vehicles, as well as the lateral distance at which the vehicle advances the cyclist, to determine if it does so as ordered by article 35.4 of the traffic law, in order of power

also the possibility of voluntarily activating the recording at any time or when the vehicle approach sensor is activated, to proceed in case of negligence with the provision of evidence to the relevant authorities, which if necessary will act accordingly in case of: accidents with the escape of the offending vehicle; excess speed allowed; or improper overtaking, not respecting the minimum safety distance. (Art 35.4 of the Traffic Law).

It is, therefore, as already mentioned a safety device, which provides the necessary instruments to act in case of danger; accident prevention, avoiding collisions by scope, fatal collisions and unfortunate impacts that can cause death; and also of protection, since it gives the cyclist a feeling of confidence, he feels supported given the existence of the camera, which analyzes and records the breach of traffic laws, such as the mandatory safety distance required in overtaking (Law 6 / 2014 of April 7).

Since the camera is activated, because the sensors detect an approaching vehicle, it can automatically record the path proceeding in an internal memory, covering, from the mere approach, to the possible collision, allowing, in turn, that the The vehicle in question is identified in the event of a collision, leakage and providing sufficient information to the DGT and other entities, for the formulation of statistics based on overtaking to cyclists, either, as to the safety distance required in overtaking (1 , 5m) as to the speed at which they are advanced, thus urging vehicles to comply with the current laws on overtaking (Law 6/2014 of April 7), and guaranteeing the awareness of drivers to respect the rules, and to guarantee in case of collision the identification of the offending vehicle, thus avoiding, among other cases the risk of leakage, since, in this case and in which the overtaking is even less than a meter and a half away, the user can provide the relevant evidence to the DGT, to act as they see fit in each case.

The described electronic visual and auditory safety equipment to prevent accidents by reach in the cycling group represents, therefore, an innovation of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a descriptive report, as an integral part thereof, is attached to a set of drawings in which for illustrative purposes and not limiting the following has been represented:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of non-limiting embodiment of the visual and auditory electronic device can be observed in order to prevent accidents due to reach in the cycling group of the invention, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.

Thus, as observed in said figures, the equipment in question is essentially configured from a camera (1), installed so that it captures and records the rear part of the track or roadway through which the user circulates on your bike (2), preferably

fixed at some point of the same by means of an anchor (3) provided with a joint (4) that allows a relative rotation of the camera (1) to focus its objective in the desired direction, and a receiver (5) of image, suitable for receiving the camera signal (1) display and record the images it captures, which, equipped with a fixing element to the bicycle (2) or the user and connected to the camera (1) via Wi -Fi, bluetooth or cable, consists of a mobile phone type smartphone, on a screen located on the handlebar or on a bracelet located on the cyclist's wrist, on a cycloprocessor adapted with a screen for said display and recording, or on glasses type Smart glasses or another device with a display screen.

Optionally, the equipment also comprises a radar proximity sensor (6) installed, for example next to the camera (1) on the bicycle (2), so that, when activated, it sends the signal to the receiver (5) to that the user can see, through the screen the approximation of the vehicles, giving time to react in the event that the trajectory of the vehicle is collision.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the equipment further comprises predictive software that analyzes the approach of the vehicles and notifies the user when a vehicle passes the shoulder line or the path is in a collision character, activating the radar sensor or sensors. (6) and sending a visual and / or auditory alert signal to the receiver (5) and that also analyzes and indicates the speed of the approaching vehicles, as well as the lateral distance at which the vehicle advances the cyclist, to Determine if you do it correctly in order to have proof of violation.

Preferably, said software is incorporated into an app or mobile application installable in the image receiver (5), which the user can configure according to their preferences and needs.

According to the figures, it can be seen how the optimal way to carry out the implementation of the equipment of the invention is through a camera (1) located at the back of the user or bicycle (2), which focuses on the track, allowing the visualization and recording of the vehicles that circulate next to it, in order to react to possible accidents by reach, preferably with an anchor (3), for example fixed on the tube under the saddle (2a) of the bicycle (2), where to hold and screw the camera (1) and with a joint (4) that allows the lens to be oriented in the correct direction, as observed
