The invention relates to a bicycle lock which passes through the spokes (20) of a bicycle wheel to provent the bicycle from being ridden. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a locking bracket (10) positioned on a first frame member (16) at one side of the wheel and a receiving bracket (12) positioned on a second frame member (18) on an opposite side of the wheel from the locking bracket (10). A lock pin (14) is provided which extends from one bracket to the other through the spokes of the bicycle wheel. The lock pin is positioned in a through hole (90) of the receiving bracket (12) and in a blind hole (56) in the locking bracket (10). The locking bracket (10) has a locking mechanism (36) for locking the lock pin (14) in place.

A display/pressure adjusting unit 21 for a vehicle spare tyre 16 which can be mounted remotely from the normal position of the spare tyre 16. The connection to the tyre valve 20 of the vehicle spare tyre 16 is of a compact design such that the vehicle spare tyre 16 can be mounted in its normal position without the connection 20 interfering with this location. The connection 20 and the display/pressure adjusting unit 21 are connected by a small diameter, flexible pipe 5 which is disconnectable at either end to assist installation. The flexible pipe 5 and the display/pressure adjusting unit 21 can each be in a colour to match or contrast with the vehicle.

Vehicle spare tyre pressure monitor

A device for continuously monitoring and signalling the condition of a spare tire in an automotive vehicle, comprises a pressure chamber (10) connected by conducts (12, 13) to a valve for filling the spare tire (T), a diaphragm (18) being located within said chamber, said diaphragm being provided with a contact (16) which closes or opens a circuit with a secondary contact (20), in case there is a pressure drop appearing in conducts (12, 13), this circuit opening or closing action activating or deactivating a light indicator (3) situated on the vehicle board. In an alternative, the diaphragm is provided with a nose (23) in one of the sides thereof and with a spring (25) in the other side which, in the extended or rest (zero pressure) position activates a secondary contact (26) situated within the pressure chamber (10) which closes or opens a circuit with a primary contact (27) also situated within the pressure chamber (10). In a further alternative, the diaphragm is eliminated and a piston (24) is located within said chamber, said piston being provided with an adjusting screw (33) in one of the sides thereof and with a spring (35) in the other side.

A pressure generator (4) which is connected to a display instrument (5) is screwed on to the valve nipple (3) of a spare wheel. This display instrument (5) is provided on the dashboard of the motor vehicle and has a warning lamp (6). If the air pressure in the pneumatic tyre (2) drops unacceptably, the pressure generator (4) closes a contact and the warning lamp (6) lights up.

The invention relates to a method for disabling data signals, which are stored in a storage arrangement comprised by a data processing circuit, according to selected address signals. These data signals are disabled by a reset signal which is triggered by a singular event in the data processing circuit, in which data and address signals are transmitted to the storage arrangement using at least one code, according to a selected coding process. These codes are changed by the reset signal. The invention also relates to a data processing circuit for carrying out the above-mentioned method. The invention provides a means of reliably disabling the stored data signals when a singular event occurs, using a simple circuit design.
