Abstract
The scooter has a hook 4 on its handlebar column 1 for engagement with a braking board 3 when the column is collapsed for carrying purposes. The column 1 can be telescopic with a releasable clamp 13.
Description
2364283 An apparatus for fixing the handle-bar of a scooter
BACKGROUND OF THE MENTION
Field of the Invention'
The present invention relates to an apparatus for fixing the handle bar of 5 a scooter, more particularly to an apparatus for fixing the handle bar of a foldable scooter by a hook member to save I space and make it easy to carry.
Description of the Prior Art
As we know that the conventional scooter has a wheel each at the front end and the rear end of the scooter, and there is a footrest in the framework of 10 the scooter for the player to step either foot on it, and the other foot on the ground for moving the scooter forward. When the scooter is moving, the player can step both of his/her feet on the footrest; when the scooter decelerates to almost zero, the player steps one of his/her foot on the ground and moves the scooter forward. This is done repeatedly to attain the purpose of exercise and 15 fun. However, the foregoing structure only allows monotonous slides but not any turning, and lacks of fun and excitement for youngsters. T'lierefore, someone thought of having a handle bar coupled with a vertical tube at the front end of the scooter, and we can turn the front wheel of the scooter by the handle bar, but the handle bar and vertical tube occupy space regardless of the 20 packaging, transporting, storing the scooter after manufactured,, or storing and carrying when the scooter is not in use. The present inventor made a simple structure improvement by switching the vertical tube into two interconnected sections of tubes, and solved the problem of fixing the handle bar and he extensible rod when the scooter is folded, and overcame the shortcomings on 25 portability and safety.
In view of the shortcomings and inconvenience of the prior art mentioned above, the inventor of the present invention based on years of
4- experience accumulated from the engagement in the related industry conducted extensive research to resolve the foregoing shortcoming and invented the present invention.
Therefore, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide an 5 a. pparatus for fixing the handle bar of a scooter comprising an extensible rod vertically coupled to the - front end of a framework of the scooter, which is foldable and attachable to the framework; and a-braking board deposed at the rear section of the fi-amework, having a hook member deposed at the appropriate location on the extensible rod of the handle bar for hooking the 10 braking board ' after the extensible rod of the handle bar is adjusted incrementally to an appropriate length.
To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objective of the invention, its structure, innovative features, and its performance, we use a preferred embodiment together with the attached drawings for the detailed 15 description of the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred but non limiting embodiment. The description is made with reference to the
5 accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. I shows the three-dimensional diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows an enlarged three-dimensional diagram of the hook member according to an embodiment of the present invention.
10 FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 shows an enlarged detailed diagram of an embodiment. of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODEUENT
As shown in Figure 1, a preferred embodiment of the presen t invention incorporates an extensible rod 1 of the handle bar vertically coupled to the front end 2 of the framework of the scooter; and an extensible rod I of the handle bar 5 of a coupling set I I is divided into two sections. The lengths of the two sections can be adjusted, and a quick release set 13 fixes the desired length.
There is a brake board 3 at the rear end of the framework 3, and the extensible rod I of the handle bar can be folded and attached onto the framework 2. The foregoingstructure includes a quick release set 12, 13 which are prior arts, and
10 not being described here.
Please refer to Figure I for the features of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Said extensible rod I of the handle bar comprises a hook member 4 on the appropriate location of said extensible rod 1. Such hook member 4, as shown in Figure 2, is a one-piece plastic sleevetube with a 15 substantially C-shape, and there is a hook bracket 42 at the opening end of the sleeve tube. There is a hole 43 on the hook bracket 42 for accommodating a bolt 44 and a corresponding nut 45 to fix to the extensible bar I of the handle bar in position.
In the implementation of this invention as shown in Figure 3, after the 20 quick release set 12 on the extensible rod I of the handle bar is loosen, the coupling set 11 can be folded; and it allows the extensible rod I to be attached to the fi=e 2. Another quick release set 13 is loosened, and the length of the extensible rod 1 of the handle bar changes, as shown in Figure 4, the hook bracket 42 of the hook member 4 hooks into the braking board 3. The quick 25 release set 13 is installed back to fix the length of the extensible rod I of the handle bar. After the extensible bar of the handle bar is folded, the hook member 4 will hook into the braking board 3 and secure it as a whole. It can enhance the function of saving space and easy to carry. In addition, it is still 4- the scope of this patent if the rod of the handle bar of the foregoing I embodiment is not extensible; as long as'the hook member 4 is deposed at the appropriate location:, the hook member can still hook into the braking board 3 after the handle bar is f6lded.
5 Therefore, in summation of the above description, the structure of an apparatus for fixing the handle bar of a scooter is the research and development subject for enhancement. The inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry conducted extensive research to enhance the structure of the storage rack herein which is hereby submitted for 10 patent application.
While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of a preferred. embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contmy, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims 15 therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
