[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a dual-purpose handle cover that can handle any type of bicycle having different handle shapes.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various types of handlebar covers for protecting a bicycle from cold weather, and the types generally seen include the following as shown in FIG. First, the shape of the handle cover is a substantially triangular or funnel-shaped cylinder, a cover with large and small openings on the left and right sides, and a heat insulating material such as a bore material is applied inside the cover. As the attachment member, two sets each having a thin string for binding to the handle at the end of the cover on the side of the narrow end of the cylinder were formed as one set. When attaching this cover to the handle, it is common to insert the cover into the left and right handle grips from the narrow side and then tie it to the handle with a thin string.

[0003] In this type, there is also a type in which a cover is fixed to a handle by using a hook-and-loop fastener or a hook in combination with a thin cord. Some are fitted with a narrow mouth auxiliary cover made of a separate material such as wool. However, basically, the shape of the cover was a triangular or funnel-shaped cover. Other types of handle covers include a funnel-shaped cover that closes the outside of the handle at the grip end to accommodate a small number of straight-line flat bar handles. There is also a handle cover with an opening on the saddle side that serves as a hand insertion slot.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Although the mounting member for fixing the cover to the handle is different, the cover is basically a triangular or funnel-shaped handle cover with large openings on the left and right. There were various difficulties and drawbacks depending on the type of handle, as follows.

First, there are generally two types of generally-viewable handle shapes. One is a one-character flat bar type with the grip end facing the left and right sides of the bicycle. One of the more popular types in recent years is that the front and back shapes are U-shaped and the grip end There is a so-called up-type handle that faces the saddle side, but in the case of a cylindrical handle cover that has a substantially triangular or funnel shape as described above, a U-shaped up-type handle is used. When installed, the large opening through which the hand can be inserted is oriented in the saddle direction, so it is easy for the driver sitting on the saddle to insert the hand, and the grip inside the handlebar cover also prevents wind from entering. Easy to hold.

On the other hand, since the flat bar type handle is a single rod, the handle and the end of the grip are directed left and right outward with respect to the front and rear of the bicycle. If the handle cover is attached as it is, the hand insertion slot will naturally be attached to the left and right sides. Since the cover is not made of a hard material, it is possible to insert the driver's hand and hold the grip even if it is left as it is, but in that case, the handle cover is inevitably kinked or distorted in an unreasonable shape, and the insertion hole It has a drawback that it does not fulfill the function of the original cold protection cover because it is easy for cold wind to enter because it spreads.

[0007] Furthermore, in the case of a handle cover that is easily compatible with a flat bar type, since the grip end is closed and a hand insertion hole is provided on a part of the saddle side, a hand can be easily attached to the flat bar type handle. It is easy to insert and the grip is easy to grip, but if this is attached to the up-type handle, the hand insertion holes provided on the left and right covers are attached so that they face each other, so the driver's hand can be inserted. It is difficult to handle the handle with the cover twisted when gripping the grip, etc. It was not a thing.

[0008] In any case, it is good to use a cover suitable for each type of handle. However, if a handle cover of an incompatible type is used, it is difficult to use as described above and causes a risk factor. In addition, when changing bicycles, there was the inconvenience of having to buy a new handle cover, and there was no drawback that no single cover could handle any of the differently shaped handles.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above inconveniences and disadvantages, and the basic configuration of the present invention will be described below. First, the handle cover is easily attached to both the flat bar and the up-type handle, and is expanded to make it easy to insert the hand and grasp the grip so as not to impair operability and cold protection. A substantially trapezoidal one-piece cover body is formed, and a portion provided with a string hole at the center of one end through which a string is passed is defined as a bent portion, and one side of the bent portion and the other side are closed to form a cylindrical shape. In order to form a cover that is optimal for both flat bar and up type handles, a set of hooks is provided around the cover, and the hooks are fixed at different locations. I do.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The handle cover (1) is a set of a male hook (5) and a female hook (6) that are folded into two to form a cylindrical shape at the end of a substantially trapezoidal cover that is unfolded. This is a very simple configuration in which a plurality of closing members (7) are provided at the left and right end portions where the cord holes (9) and (9) are folded in two.

[0011] In addition, when attaching to the flat bar handle (A) type, it is tied to the handle with the attaching string (8), and the first one is located near the string holes (9) and (9) and the three are located outside. When the male hook (5) and the female hook (6) of the eyes are closed, the hand insertion port is located on the saddle side, and when attaching to the up handle (B) type, the handle is similarly attached to the handle with the strap (8). After binding, close the first and second male hooks (5) and female hooks (6) near the strap holes (9) and (9), and the hand insertion hole will be on the saddle side as in the above type. Since it is located, it is possible to provide a dual-purpose handle cover (1) that makes it easy to grasp the grip, prevents intrusion of wind, and eliminates factors that hinder operability.

[0012]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the perspective view shown in FIG. 1, the developed view of FIG. 2, and the mounting use examples shown in FIGS. The bicycle handle cover of the present invention is a dual-purpose handle cover (1) that can easily handle both flat bar and up-type handles. First, the outer material (2) is made of waterproof fabric and the lining (3) is made of The cover in which the insulating material, such as the bored area, on which the heat insulating material is overlapped is bordered (4) with bias tape or the like forms a single handle cover (1) whose developed shape is substantially trapezoidal as shown in FIG. Furthermore, in order to form a cylindrical shape when the substantially trapezoidal vertical center is folded in two, a pair of male hooks (5) (5) are formed on the lower side of the handle cover (1) and the upper and lower sides of the handle cover (1). A plurality of closing members (7) by female hooks (6) and (6) are provided, and two cord holes (9) and (9) are provided in the upper folded portion through which the attaching cord (8) passes. This constitutes the main body of the dual-purpose handle cover (1) in the present invention.

[0013] Since the handle cover (1) of the present invention is formed as described above, first, when attaching to the flat bar handle (A) as shown in FIG. Fold it in half and put it on the handle (A), tie it tightly with the attachment string (8), and then attach the first male hook near the string hole (9) and the third male hook (5) on the outside part. When the female hook (6) is closed, the opening for inserting the hand is located on the saddle side, so the hand can be inserted smoothly, the grip can be grasped accurately, and the handle cover (1) does not become twisted or forced Therefore, invasion of wind can be minimized, and the operability of the bicycle is not impaired.

On the other hand, when attaching to the up handle (B), in the case of the above type, after attaching the right grip to the left grip, tie it to the handle (B) with the attaching cord (8), As shown in FIG. 5, two male hooks (5) and (5) and female hooks (6) and (6) except for the first and second portions closer to the string hole (9), that is, the outer portions are removed. When closed, the opening into which the hand can be inserted is easily attached to the saddle side. Therefore, the hand can be easily inserted as in the case of the above-mentioned type, so that the grip can be easily grasped and the invasion of wind can be prevented.

[0015] The present invention is such a simple one-piece handle cover (1), but the flat bar handle is provided by a single closing method of a closing member (7) provided at a plurality of positions at the end thereof. Regardless of which handle is different, such as the (A) and the up handle (B) types, the handle cover (1) having an optimal shape can be formed by one-touch function.

The closing member (7) provided to form one handle cover (1) into a cylindrical shape employs a hook comprising a pair of male and female. Any other closing member such as a hook-and-loop fastener, a chuck, a string hole and a closing string may be used, and is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the outer material (2) of the handle cover (1) is waterproof, and the lining (3) is formed by lining (4) a layer of heat insulating bore fabric such as bored fabric with bias tape or the like. (4) If the tape is trimmed with fluorescent coloring tape, self-luminous phosphorescent tape, or reflective tape, etc., the tape is not only beautiful, but also the surrounding pedestrians and drivers can recognize the presence of the bicycle. This is more preferable because it can provide a steering wheel cover that can also contribute to traffic safety.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 The handle cover according to the present invention has a simple configuration in which a pair of male and female hooks are provided at the end of a single cover.However, when used with a bicycle handle, it is necessary to use a handle around the cover depending on the handle type. By simply changing the way in which the necessary parts of the closing member are fastened by hooks, etc., it is possible to easily create a functional handle cover that has the optimal shape for the handle, whether it is a flat bar or an up type handle. It can be formed. In addition, the cover can be deployed as a single piece, so it can be folded and fixed when it is attached to the handle, making it easy to install without having to pass through the grip or brake lever from a narrow mouth with effort as in the past.

Therefore, it is possible to exhibit a dual-purpose function that can be used for any type of handle even though it is a single handle cover, and even if a new bicycle is replaced, anybody can easily form a cover suitable for the handle. In addition, the cover's hand opening is always located on the driver's side, that is, the saddle side, so it is easy to grasp the grip smoothly, and the cover does not twist and it does not become an unreasonable shape, so it is difficult for cold wind to enter it can. In addition, since factors that hinder the operation of the steering wheel can be prevented to a minimum, it is easy to remove the hand from the steering wheel cover even in an emergency, so there are few danger elements, and the present invention is for bicycles. However, it may be adopted as a handle cover for an autobike. In addition, the cover has a simple structure, and one handle can handle both types of handles, regardless of the type, so there is no extra burden on the user and a new functional handle cover has been provided. it can.
