Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a parking space by half, and also make it easy to take a parked bicycle out by making a right and a left handle folding, and providing each handle fixing fixture which can fixes a front wheel straight by fixing the folded right and left handles onto a body. CONSTITUTION:A right and a left handle 3a and 3b are installed on a handle shaft 4 through shafts 5 and 5' in such a way as to be freely folded. The fixation of the right and left handles 3a and 3b and a release from the aforesaid fixation are performed by handle lock pins 6 and 6'. Handle fixing fixtures 7 and 7' are provided for a body 2, which fix the folded handles 3a and 3b. These handle fixing fixtures 7 and 7' are kept in a closed state at all times, and they are opened once so as to allow the handles 3 and 3a to be put inside, so that the handles are then fixed. When the handles are to be fixed, the handles 3a and 3b are put along the handle shaft 4 so that a front wheel can be held straight so as to be fixed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is applied to bicycles.

[0002]

[Prior Art] When placing a bicycle in a bicycle parking lot or a narrow space,
Normally, the bicycle handle remains the same.

[0003]

For this reason, when one bicycle is pulled out from among the bicycles placed side by side, there is a problem that the handle is caught by another bicycle and it is difficult to pull it out. In addition, since the bicycle is usually pulled out by holding the cargo bed side, the handle cannot reach the handle,
The front wheels become free and flicker, and the front wheels often get caught on other bicycles. In addition, since the handlebars of the bicycle project laterally, there is a problem that the bicycle parking space occupies a large amount.

An object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle that can be easily pulled out from the place where the bicycle is parked and the bicycle parking space can be halved.

[0005]

The structure of the bicycle according to the present invention is as follows.

A bicycle having a handle fixing device for fixing the front wheels straight by fixing the left and right handles downward and fixing the folded left and right handles to the vehicle body. A fixing tool may be attached to the handle side so that the handle can be fixed to the vehicle body side with this fixing tool.

[0007]

[Operation] When parking the bicycle, straighten the front wheels, bend the left and right handles downward by approximately 90 °, and secure them with the handle fixture. When pulling out the bicycle, if you pull it out by holding the back side of the luggage as it is, the steering wheel is fixed straight, so the front wheels do not flicker, and the left and right steering wheels do not get caught on others. The handle can be fixed by bending only one side.

When riding a bicycle, the handle fixing device is released and the handle is returned in the horizontal direction to be locked.

[0009]

1 is a bicycle, 2 is a vehicle body, 3 is a handlebar, 4 is a handle shaft, and 3 is a handlebar.
As shown in FIG. 2, the left and right handles 3a and 3b are foldably attached to the handle shaft 4 by shafts 5 and 5 '. 6 and 6'are handle lock pins, and the lock pins 6 and 6'can fix and release the left and right handles 3a and 3b.

Reference numerals 7 and 7a are handle fixing fittings for fixing the left and right folded handles 3a and 3b in the vehicle body 2 and are always closed by springs. As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. Handles 3a, 3b
Put it in and put it back in to fix it. As a result, the front wheel 1a
Is fixed straight.

In the present invention, the folding structure and the locking structure of the handle 3 and the fixing means for the folded left and right handles 3a and 3b are not limited to the embodiments. Further, the folded handles 3 and 3a may be configured so that they cannot be raised unless the key 8 is used for theft prevention.

[0012]

Since the present invention is constituted as described above,
It has the following effects.

A. By folding the handle down and fixing it, the front wheels are fixed, so it is easy to pull it straight out, and since the handle does not protrude to the left and right, it is convenient without worrying about getting caught when pulling out the bicycle at the bicycle parking lot.

B. Since the handlebars can be folded downward, the bicycle parking space can be halved.

C. Configuring the folded handle so that it cannot be undone unless the key is used also helps prevent theft.
