Abstract
The bicycle brake lock comprises a cycle, a locking structure, and a personal data device. The cycle is defined elsewhere in this disclosure. The locking structure locks the disk brake system of the cycle such that the cycle cannot roll over a supporting surface. The personal data device controls the operation of the locking structure.
Claims13
A bicycle brake lock comprising
- a cycle, a locking structure, and a personal data device;
- wherein the locking structure mounts on the cycle;
- wherein the personal data device controls the operation of the locking structure;
- wherein the cycle further comprises a disk brake system;
- wherein the disk brake system further comprises a caliper mount and a brake disk;
- wherein the brake disk further comprises an aperture;
- wherein the locking structure inserts a locking plug through the aperture formed in the brake disk to prevent the rotation of the brake disk from rotating relative to the caliper mount;
- wherein the aperture is a negative space that is formed through the faces of the disk structure of the brake disk;
- wherein the locking plug of the locking structure inserts through the aperture to form a physical barrier that prevents the brake disk from rotating relative to the caliper mount;
- wherein the locking structure comprises a logic module, a communication module, a locking solenoid, and a battery;
- wherein the communication module further comprises a wireless communication link;
- wherein the wireless communication link forms a communication link with the personal data device;
- wherein the communication module receives operating instructions to lock and unlock the disk brake system over the wireless communication link from the personal data device;
- wherein the communication module transmits the received operating instructions to the logic module for implementation;
- wherein the locking structure is an electromechanical structure;
- wherein the locking structure is an electrically powered device;
- wherein the locking structure mounts on the caliper mount of the disk brake system;
- wherein the locking structure fixes the position of the brake disk relative to the caliper mount;
- wherein by fixing the position is meant that the locking structure prevents the brake disk from rotating relative to the caliper mount;
- wherein the personal data device transmits operating instructions to lock and unlock the disk brake system to the locking structure;
- wherein the locking solenoid further comprises the locking plug, a locking cavity, and a locking solenoid relay;
- wherein the locking plug inserts into the locking cavity;
- wherein the locking solenoid relay controls the motion of the locking plug;
- wherein the logic module controls the operation of the locking solenoid relay.
