Remotely-controlled safety brake for child's bicycle

摘要

The bicycle has a safety brake which operates independently of the normal brakes. The safety brake is spring-loaded into the braked position and is held off by a safety catch. When the controller (1) transmits the brake signal it is picked up by a receiver (2) on the bicycle to operate the drive (3) and brake (4), and thereby stop the vehicle. The safety system can be improved by transmitting a constant safety signal to hold off the brake, and with the brake applied when the signal stops. The signal is transmitted by any conventional manner e.g. radio, IR ultrasonic etc.
