Heated handle

The invention relates to a heated handle, in particular a handlebar grip for motorcycles or like that.

In cold weather, heating the motorcycle grips can make operating comfort considerably increase. In addition, the motorcyclist's hands remain more flexible when the Hands is avoided. This not only increases the ease of use * but also increases road safety.

The invention is therefore based on the object to create a heated grip for motorcycles or the like.

The solution to this problem is obtained in that a heating element is arranged in the handle and thermal insulation is arranged between the handle and the handlebar. The heat-

Insulation prevents deleterious substances from quickly dissipating

of the heating element generated Warning j so that the over- |

Most of the heat gets into the outer part of the handle and thus becomes effective for arming the hands,

The preferred embodiment provides that the heating |

element is a foil-like electrical surface heating conductor is. Such surface heating conductors are for example, what the company Ekoplan GmbH offered. The use of such foils has the great advantage that that these heating foils can be easily adapted to any shape and thus also to the relative small inner diameter of a motorcycle handle can be easily adjusted. The heating foils can be glued directly onto the inner wall of the motorcycle handle or in the manufacture of the motorcycle handle encapsulated with the actual handle material will. Soft PVC, for example, can be used as the handle material.

The heating element can run on the inside wall of the handle facing the handlebar or on the outside Insulation must be applied. To facilitate the Mounting can be molded on the inner wall of the handle or on the outer wall of the insulation 5tege or knobs be that establish a firm connection between the outer handle and the insulation.

The heated handle can also be designed to be rotatable, so that, for example, by rotating the handle Throttle cable can be operated in a known manner. The isolation is then not immediately on attached to the handlebar, but mounted on a rotatable part.

The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing

explained in more detail * the one shown in section Shows handle attached to a handlebar.

In the handle ί there is an electric heating element 2 used, which almost completely covers the cylindrical inner wall of the handle 1. The connecting wires 3 of the heating element 2 are here inside the handlebar 4 led to the power source.

ΙΟ There is insulation between handle 1 and handlebar 4 5 provided, which largely prevents the heat transfer from the heating element 2 to the metal handlebar 4, so that the majority of the heat is introduced into the handle 1.

In the illustrated embodiment, this is as Surface heating conductor trained heating element 2 has been connected to the handle 1 during the spraying process. This is done in that the heating element 2 is inserted into / the mold before the injection process and then the plastic material forming the handle, for example Soft PVC, injected into the mold. The heating element 2 is overmolded and connected firmly to the plastic material of the handle 1 without additional connecting means.

On the handle 1 there can be knobs or a circular ring Strips 6 may be integrally formed, which, however, could also be formed on the insulation 5. The knobs or Crosspieces 6 facilitate the assembly of the handle 1 and provide the connection between the handle 1 and the insulation 5 here.

The heating elements 2 designed as heating foils can, for example, have an output of 30 watts per dm ²
