Abstract
The present invention relates to a brake signal sensor device which is electrically connected to a warning light by a transfer wire. The brake signal sensor device includes a body, and a cover mounted on the body. The body defines a receiving chamber for securing a contact switch whose one side is provided with two spaced guide plates. A pull wire is used to pull an elastic member to displace a conducting member, such that the contact switch can produce a start signal which is transferred to the warning light, whereby the warning light secured on the bicycle emits light, thereby enhancing the safety of riding the bicycle. The brake signal sensor device may be easily fixed on the brake cable adjacent to the brake lever by a fastening strap without having to be mounted on the brake pad.

A brake signal sensor device comprising a body (10), and a cover (20) mounted on said body (10), wherein:
- said body (10) has a top face whose center defines an elongated receiving chamber (11);
- a contact switch (30) is secured in said receiving chamber (11) of said body (10) and is electrically connected to a warning light (90), said contact switch (30) is provided with a positioning portion (32) which is secured in said receiving chamber (11) of said body (10), said positioning portion (32) of said contact switch (30) has one side provided with two spaced guide plates (321);
- a conducting member (40) is slidably mounted in said receiving chamber (11) of said body (10) and faces said two guide plates (321) of said positioning portion (32);
- a first elastic member (43) is extended through said positioning portion (32) of said contact switch (30) and is urged on a first side of said conducting member (40) such that said conducting member (40) is spaced from said two guide plates (321) of said positioning portion (32);
- a second elastic member (41) has a first end urged on a second side of said conducting member (40);
- a press member (42) is secured on a second end of said second elastic member (41);
- and
- a pull wire (50) has a first end attached to said press member (42) and a second end extended through said second elastic member (41), said conducting member (40), said first elastic member (43), and said positioning portion (32), and extended outward from said body (10).
