Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesH02K 1100H02K 710 H02K 700 B60Q 300 B62J 600 AbstractA luminous device capable of automatically generating power includes a set of induction coils with one end connecting to a luminous element and placed inside a light conductor which is fastened onto a steel wire of a wheel via a fastening structure; one or more than one magnets are disposed inside a magnet case corresponding to the set of induction coils. Therefore, when the wheel spins, it drives the light conductor to rotate thereby generating electric current between the set of induction coils and the magnet to further drive the luminous element. In addition, the light conductor guides the light source of the luminous element outwardly so as to generate luminous and warning function.Field of SearchIlluminating devicesRim drive (e.g., bicycle generator drive by wheel, rim, or tire) Hand- or foot-operated Bicycle-hub generators Inbuilt or incorporated unit Bicycle or motorcycle Handlebar Headlight SUPPORTED BY VEHICLE STRUCTURE (E.G., ESPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLE) Headlight support Wheel spindle, axle, or hub cap Truck, trailer, or wagon Bus or railway rolling stock Friction driven generator Generator power source SELF POWERED LAMP For cycle-type vehicle AXLE | |
