Description

The invention relates to the field of electronic engineering, namely to lighting devices intended for illuminating items of use or clothing of a person, a vehicle, primarily at night, in order to ensure safety during road traffic due to light signaling, as well as for decorative purposes.

A system [1] of increased visibility lighting is known for ensuring safety at dusk or at night of a vehicle, such as a bicycle, motorcycle or sidecar, integrated into a segment of the vehicle frame. The system [1] serves as a means of warning road users by means of light emission, and is a device integrated into the vehicle structure, consisting of a light source located inside the lighting segment, a power source and a control means. A disadvantage of the system [1] is that it is built into the external frame of the vehicle without the possibility of its rapid mounting and dismounting, among other things, onto another vehicle or device, and therefore has a limited scope of application.

Also known are baby carriages and their lighting devices [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], containing light-emitting elements to attract attention, located in different parts of the carriages in such a way that a road user can recognize the dimensions of such carriages, while the elements are equipped with power sources and switches, which are also non-removable. The disadvantages of such baby carriages [2, 3, 4, 5, 6] are the difficulty of controlling the modes of switching on and off the light-emitting elements during movement due to the location of their control elements and the high probability of damage to the elements of the lighting device when folding the carriage.

A lighting system for a baby carriage is known [7], comprising a plurality of light components built into the wheel, connected to a battery located inside or on the wheel, and a control switch moved between the "on" and "off" positions by the centrifugal force achieved by the movement of the wheel. The main disadvantage of the system [7] is the difficulty of switching modes when the carriage is stopped, as well as the limited scope of application.

A similar system [7] in its operating principle is a lighting system for a baby carriage [8] with an electric power generation system connected to at least one wheel. The lighting system for a carriage also includes a constant lighting subsystem powered by a power source and a path lighting subsystem. The light generated jointly by both subsystems is visible 360 degrees around the carriage. A disadvantage of such a system is also its limited scope of application.

A technical solution close to the invention is a lighting device [9] for a stroller with a flexible handle made of elastic durable plastic, a plurality of lighting elements, wherein the flexible mechanism of the handle is additionally adapted for wrapping around the stroller handle to secure the body of the device in the desired position. The closest technical solution to the invention is a lighting device for baby carriages and wheelchairs and other vehicles, described in [10] and adopted as a prototype, containing a lighting unit consisting of light-emitting diodes, incandescent lamps, reflective elements or other light sources, a clamp attached to the unit and a magnetic fastening element attached to the clamp, a support mount having a magnet with an opposite charge from the said magnetic fastening element. The disadvantages of the lighting devices [9, 10] are the limited illuminated space due to the fact that the lighting elements are located on the body of the device.

The tasks solved by the present invention are to increase the safety of road users by increasing the area of illumination by a device placed on a human item (stroller, backpack, skateboard, clothing) or other vehicle, as well as to ensure the convenience and safety of mounting such a device on items used, including near children or animals.

The stated task is achieved by a lighting device (see Fig. 1) containing at least one wire (1) with light-emitting diodes placed on it, connected to a housing (2) containing power elements and a control board with a control panel (3) attached to the housing (2), characterized in that it additionally contains predominantly removable fastening elements (see Fig. 2) placed on the wire (1), made in the form of clamps with magnets, wherein the fastening elements (4) move along the wire (1) and rotate 360 degrees around the wire (1), providing the ability to fix the fastening elements (4) on a clasp (5), made predominantly of iron or its alloy with a flat platform of predominantly round shape and a safety pin with a lock, which provides the ability to detachably attach the LED device in convenient places to the outer surface of items of use or human clothing. Also (see Fig. 3) the fastener (5) can be made in the form of metal nails (6) with a platform of a predominantly round shape, located perpendicularly from the end of the nail, fastened to the outer surface of objects of use or human clothing and fixed on the reverse side by a locking device (7) containing a switching device, driven predominantly by a magnetic field. The advantages of the present invention in comparison with analogues are the possibility of placing a wire with lighting elements over a large surface of an object of use in order to determine its overall dimensions due to fastening the wire with lighting elements along its entire length and the possibility of rotating the fastening elements by 360 degrees, the possibility of using the lighting device on different objects of use due to the removable design, ensuring the safety of using the device due to the use of a safety pin with a lock.

What is new according to the invention is that the lighting device contains at least one wire with LEDs placed on it and predominantly removable fastening elements placed on the wire, made in the form of clamps with magnets, wherein the fastening elements move along the wire and rotate 360 degrees around the wire.

Operating principle of the lighting device:

The device is a wire (1) with LEDs placed on it, which can be attached around the perimeter of a baby carriage or to another item of human use (see Fig. 4). The device is powered by batteries located in the housing (2), which can be attached under the bottom of the cradle of the carriage, placed in the pocket of a bag or backpack. The device is controlled by a wired or wireless remote control (3), which can be attached in a convenient place. The remote control (3) has buttons for turning on/off and selecting the glow mode (pulse, constant).

The effectiveness of the technical solution is confirmed by its intended use.
