Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bicycle grip provided with means for holding a bicycle brake lever.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when parking a bicycle, a single-legged stand 31 as shown in FIG. 7 is often used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when the bicycle is parked on a slope, the wheels of the bicycle, especially the front wheels, rotate toward the bottom of the slope, so the bicycle turns around the stand 31 as a fulcrum, and the bicycle loses its balance and falls. There was an occasion. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a grip for a bicycle that enables a bicycle to be stably parked even on a slope.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has taken the following technical means in order to achieve the above object. That is, the bicycle grip with brake lever holding means of the present invention is characterized by including holding means for holding the brake lever in the braking position. Further, in the bicycle grip with brake lever holding means of the present invention, the bending-deformable holding means is removably inserted into the insertion hole provided in the grip end wall, and the holding means is attached to the handle. An urging means for urging the inside of the pipe is provided, a fitting hole for fitting the brake lever is provided at a required position of the holding means, and a knob exposed to the outside of the grip is provided at the outer end of the holding means. The feature is that it is provided.

[0005]

[Action]

 The bicycle grip with brake lever holding means of the present invention is provided at the end of the handlebar pipe of the bicycle, and the holding means holds the brake lever in the braking position to maintain the braking state of the wheels. Further, the holding means is normally biased by the biasing means and stored in the handle pipe, but the knob provided on the outer end of the holding means is exposed to the outside of the grip.

When the brake lever is held, the tab at the outer end of the holding means is grasped, the holding means is pulled out, and the brake lever is bent. Then, when the brake lever located at the braking position is fitted into the fitting hole provided at the required position of the holding means, the brake lever is held at the braking position and the braking state of the wheels is maintained.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5, reference numeral 1 denotes an MTB (mountain bike) type bicycle, which is fitted to a frame 2, a handle pipe 3 having left and right side ends open, and a left and right end portions of the handle pipe 3. It also has left and right grips 4, 5 and a one-legged stand 6. Wheels 7 and 8 are provided at the front and rear of the frame 2, and brake devices 9 and 10 that operate to suppress the rotation of the wheels 7 and 8 are provided, and the brake devices 9 and 10 are As shown in FIG. 4, the brake levers 11 and 12 provided near the left and right ends of the handle pipe 3 are operated by rotating the brake levers 11 and 12 by a required angle θ. Here, the right brake lever 11 operates the brake device 9 of the front wheel 7, and the left brake lever 12 operates the brake device 10 of the rear wheel 8.

The right grip 5 is provided with a grip body 13 made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and the grip body 13 has a grip portion 14 that covers the handle pipe 3 and a side portion of an open end portion of the handle pipe 3. It consists of the grip end wall 15 located. A rectangular insertion hole 16 is provided in the grip end wall 15, and a long and bendable and deformable holding means 17 is removably inserted into the insertion hole 16. The holding means 17 is provided at its outer end with a tab 18 having a size that cannot be inserted into the insertion hole 16, and at its inner end, a collar portion 19 is provided so as to project in the width direction of the holding means 17. ing. A urging means 20 for urging the holding means 17 into the handle pipe 3 is mounted between the collar portion 19 and the grip end wall 15. The biasing means 20 is preferably a coil spring having a relatively weak biasing force.

A fitting hole 21 into which the brake lever 11 is fitted is provided at a required position of the holding means 17. Here, the required position means that the holding means 17 is bent from the handle pipe 3 toward the brake lever 11 side until the collar portion 19 at the inner end of the holding means 17 is locked to the grip end wall 15. (See FIG. 4), and is a part of the holding means 17 corresponding to the position of the tip of the brake lever 11 when the brake lever 11 is rotated by the required angle θ.

According to the bicycle grip 5 with the brake lever holding means of the present embodiment, by holding the brake lever 11 of the bicycle 1 by the holding means 17 in the braking position, the braking state of the front wheels 7 can be maintained. Even when the bicycle 1 is parked on a slope, the front wheels 7 do not rotate and the bicycle 1 can be parked in a stable state. The braking position means a position where the brake lever 11 is rotated by the required angle θ.

Further, the left and right grips 4 and 5 can be adopted, and by holding the left and right brake levers 11 and 12 in the braking position in order to suppress the rotation of the front and rear wheels 7 and 8, it becomes more stable. You can park your bicycle in this condition. A bell 23 is provided at the base end 22 of the left grip 4. As shown in FIG. 6, in the bell 23, one end of a coil spring 24 is embedded in the base end 22 and a hammer 25 made of metal is fixed, and the other end of the coil spring 24 is made of metal. The bell body 26 is fixed. The bell body 26 includes a cylindrical body portion 27 having substantially the same diameter as the left grip 4, and the body portion 27 covers the coil spring 24 and the hammer 25. The hammer 25 is preferably provided below the coil spring 24.

Since the bell 6 is constructed as described above, when the hand holding the left grip 4 is slid slightly to the side and the bell body 26 is tapped, the bell 6 is broken as shown by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. The body 26 swings and collides with the hammer 25, and a sound is emitted. According to the bell 6, the operation is smooth because the bell body 26 is tapped by sliding the hand, and there is no sharp portion, so it is safe. Furthermore, since the structure is simple and the appearance is not conspicuous, the MTB style will not be damaged even if it is used for MTB or the like. Further, it can be configured to be inserted into the base end portion of an existing grip, which is advantageous in terms of cost.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is characterized by having a holding means for holding the brake lever in the braking position, the wheel is maintained in the braking state by holding the brake lever in the braking position by the holding means. Even when the bicycle is parked on a slope, the wheels do not rotate naturally and the bicycle can be parked in a stable state.

Further, according to the present invention, the bending-deformable holding means is removably inserted into the insertion hole provided in the grip end wall, and the biasing means biases the holding means into the handle pipe. The holding means is provided with a fitting hole into which a brake lever is fitted, and at the outer end of the holding means, a tab exposed to the outside of the grip is provided. Since the holding means is housed in the handle pipe when the holding means is not used, the appearance of the bicycle is not deteriorated. Since it is exposed to the outside of the grip, the holding means can be easily pulled out from the inside of the handle pipe, and the brake lever can be easily fitted into the fitting hole provided in the holding means. Since it can hold the rake lever, it can be easily used by children.
