Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a handle grip structure for a bicycle or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, a grip body integrally formed of an elastic material, for example, synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride, rubber, or the like is fitted on both ends of a handlebar of a bicycle or a tricycle for an infant to form a grip. Conventionally, as this kind of grip, a large number of small holes are provided in the peripheral surface of the handlebar at the end portion thereof in a penetrating manner, and a projection which fits into the small hole of the handlebar is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the grip body. It is known that a grip body is fitted over an end of a handlebar so as to fit into the small hole (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-29891).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, in the above-mentioned prior art, the grip body can be firmly attached to the handlebar and can be prevented from easily coming off, but there is a problem that cushioning is poor and hand feel is not good. Therefore, in order to improve the cushioning property, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the grip body, and the outer diameter of the grip body becomes large, making it difficult to grip.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described situation, and has as its object a good cushioning property and a good hand feel, and it is easily deformed when grasped and easily conforms to the hand. Another object of the present invention is to provide a handle grip structure capable of preventing falling off.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, the following technical measures were taken to achieve the above object. That is, the present invention provides a handlebar grip in which a grip body made of an elastic material is fitted over an end of the handlebar. The handlebar penetrates at least below the end of the handlebar and extends vertically. It is characterized in that a long hole is formed in the direction, and when the grip is gripped by hand, a part of the grip body is inserted into the hole and a part of the outer surface of the grip body is deformed along the hand. In this case, the grip body has no restraint on the inside at the position of the hole, so that the grip body flexes freely when grasped by hand and a part thereof enters the hole. Therefore, the grip body is difficult to be pulled out of the handle bar, and the outer surface of the grip body is comfortable along the hand.

[0006] By providing at least one hole on the lower side of the handlebar, the cushioning effect can be enhanced and the feel of the fingers can be improved, but one hole is penetrated on each of the upper side and the lower side. Alternatively, they can be provided at different positions. That is, it is preferable to provide the hole in one or several places where the grip force acts strongly when the grip body is gripped by hand.

[0007] Further, a soft material which is easily elastically deformable is fitted into at least a portion of the hole in an end portion of the handlebar. In this case, when the grip body is gripped by hand, a gripping force acts on the soft material in the handlebar via the hole portion, an appropriate cushioning effect is obtained, and the strength of the grip body is supplemented.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a handle grip structure according to the present invention. This grip structure includes a handlebar 1 and a grip body 2 made of a weather-resistant elastic material and fitted over an end of the handlebar 1.

At both ends of the handlebar 1, holes 3 and 4, which penetrate the upper and lower surfaces in the radial direction and are elongated in the longitudinal direction of the handlebar 1, are provided at vertically symmetric positions. The length of the holes 3 and 4 is approximately the same as the width of the four fingers excluding the thumb, and the width of the holes 3 and 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the handlebar 2. I have. The grip body 2 is made of a soft elastic material, that is, a material that deforms when grasped by hand and enters the holes 3 and 4 of the handlebar 1 so that the outer surface of the body 2 follows the fingers, for example, soft synthetic rubber, soft material, or the like. It is formed into a cylindrical shape with a bottom (a cap such as a fountain pen) by a synthetic resin or the like, and an air vent hole 5 is provided in the bottom 2A.

According to the first embodiment, when the hand is gripped by the grip body 2, the portions of the holes 3 and 4 are not restrained. Therefore, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Of the handlebar 1 enters the holes 3 and 4 of the handlebar 1 and is elastically deformed, and its surface follows the finger, and when the grip body 2 is released, the shape of the handlebar is restored to its shape before being gripped. Therefore, it has good cushioning properties and good hand feel.

In addition, no matter how many people hold the grip body 2, a good feel can be obtained along the fingers of the gripped person regardless of the size of the fingers. FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that a soft material which is easily elastically deformed inside the end portion of the handlebar 1 (substantially the entire length of the fitting portion of the grip body 2). 6, for example, a point in which a foamed synthetic resin or a soft synthetic resin is fitted, which has substantially the same operation and effect as the first embodiment, and also has an appropriate cushioning effect and is opposed to the holes 3 and 4 of the grip body 2. The reinforced part is reinforced, and the durability can be improved.

The soft material 6 is fitted into the holes 3 and 4 and is in contact with the inner surface of the grip body 2. Therefore, the soft material 6 also has an effect of preventing the grip body 2 from coming off. The soft material 6 can be injected and fired into the handlebar 1. In each of the above embodiments, the holes 3 and 4 can be shorter than the lower hole 4 corresponding to the portion where the upper hole 3 contacts the thumb, and the upper hole 3 is omitted. In addition to the above, only the lower hole 4 can be provided, and the upper and / or lower holes 3 and 4 can be plural (for example, 2 to 4), and the longitudinal direction of the handlebar 1 of each hole can be provided. Can be changed as appropriate. For example, the number of upper holes 3 may be one, and the number of lower holes 4 may be two to four.

In addition to the above-described embodiments, the grip body 2 may have any shape such as an infant, a child, a woman, or the like, and may be appropriately designed and modified to have an arbitrary color.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the handle grip structure according to the present invention is provided with a long hole in one end of the handlebar that penetrates at least vertically below the handlebar and that is long in the axial direction of the handlebar. When gripped with a hand, a part of the grip body made of an elastic material is configured so as to enter the hole and deform a part of the outer surface of the grip body along the hand, so that the cushioning property is good and therefore the hand is The touch can be improved, and the grip body can be prevented from coming off.
