Device for enhanced safety in using a side stand for parking of two wheeled vehicle

Abstract

A device adapted for accurate and quick assembly on a two wheeled vehicle for enhanced safety in using a side stand for parking of the vehicle is disclosed.

1 . A device, for enhancing safety in the use of a side stand of two wheeled vehicle, said device comprising:
 i) a base plate ( 1 ) adapted to be fastened to the frame of the two wheeler between the wheels centers, said base plate ( 1 ) provided with specific peripheral cut out having two edges ( 17 ) and ( 19 ) defining an included angle “X” between said edges;   ii) a holding member ( 2 ) defining a first surface ( 45 ), an integral coaxial annular disc ( 47 ), a circular cavity ( 49 ) and an arcuate cut out ( 51 ); said holding member pivot-ably mounted on the base plate ( 1 );   iii) a move-able element ( 3 ) rigidly mounted on said first surface ( 45 ) of the holding member ( 2 );   iv) a housing ( 4 ) comprising a circular disc ( 25 ) having an integral circular side wall ( 27 ) defining a cavity provided with a central cylindrical projection ( 31 ) normal to the circular disc ( 25 ); said central cylindrical projection ( 31 ) defining at least three cylindrical locating regions ( 33 ,  35  and  37 ); said circular disc ( 25 ) provided with at least two spaced apart locating pins ( 39 ); said housing removably fastened to the base plate ( 1 );   v) an integrated circuit unit ( 5 ) comprising a sensor unit ( 65 ), resistors-capacitors ( 69 ) and pad connector points ( 67 ); said integrated circuit unit ( 5 ) provided at least two mounting locations ( 71 ); in an assembled configuration the integrated circuit unit adapted to mount in said housing ( 4 ) so as maintain specific orientation and locational accuracy with reference to the first locating region ( 33 ), mounting locations ( 71 ) and said locating pins ( 39 );   vi) a support element ( 6 ) pivot ably mounted on said base plate ( 1 ); said support element ( 6 ) adapted to swivel from an inoperative closed position to an operative open position within the included angle “X” of edges ( 17 ) and ( 19 ); and   vii) a fastener element ( 7 ) provided with a central cylindrical cavity ( 61 ) adapted to pivot-ably fasten said holding member ( 2 ) with reference to the base plate ( 1 ); in an assembled configuration the circular cavity ( 49 ) of the holding member ( 2 ) adapted to receive the one end of the fastener and the central cylindrical cavity ( 61 ) adapted to locate the third locating region ( 37 ) of the housing ( 4 ) so as to maintain specific orientation and locational accuracy of said move-able member with reference to the sensor unit ( 65 ) in a first inoperative swiveled close position and an operative swiveled open position of the of the support element ( 6 ).   
     
     
         2 . A device, for enhancing safety in the use of a side stand of two wheeled vehicle, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the included angle “X” is preferably more than 90 degrees but less than 125 degrees. 
     
     
         3 . A device, for enhancing safety in the use of a side stand of two wheeled vehicle, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the move able element is a permanent magnet selected from a group of permanent magnets consisting of Alnico, Samarium-Cobalt, Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets. 
     
     
         4 . A device, for enhancing safety in the use of a side stand of two wheeled vehicle, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the integrated circuit unit is mounted on a rigid polymer base and covered with protective coating. 
     
     
         5 . A device, for enhancing safety in the use of a side stand of two wheeled vehicle, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit is a programmable digital Hall effect sensor. 
     
     
         6 . A device, for enhancing safety in the use of a side stand of two wheeled vehicle, as claimed in  claim 1  adapted to be retrofitted to a two wheeled vehicle. 
     
     
         7 . A device, for enhancing safety in the use of a side stand of two wheeled vehicle, as described herein above with reference to the accompanying drawings.
