Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a handle protector for a motorcycle.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in FIG. 6, the motorcycle has a grip B attached to the end of a handle pipe A whose central portion is attached to the front hawk so that the rider can grip it and steer the front hawk left and right. I am doing it. A hand lever C is arranged on the front side of the grip B, and the hand lever C is operated by the fingertip of the hand holding the grip B so that the brake and the clutch of the front wheel can be operated. The hand lever C is made of a light alloy or molded of a synthetic resin. When the motorcycle is tumbled, it may protrude and may collide directly with the road surface. And often breaks or bends due to impact. For this reason, the protector pipe D, which is inflated in a U-shape on the front side, is arranged on the front side of the hand lever C, and one end of the protector pipe D is fastened with a bolt to the connecting metal fitting E attached to the handle pipe A, and the other end is a handle. It is attached by tightening with bolts to the hole fitting F attached to the tip of the pipe A. For example,
See JP-A-58-173589 and JP-A-58-214484.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

When the protector pipe D receives an impact in the screw direction of the bolts that are fastened at both ends, the bolts may loosen and the protector pipe D may rotate, which may be inconvenient. In addition, the stress is concentrated on the inner connecting fitting E, which is easily damaged. Further, since metal fittings are required at both ends, the number of parts is large, and the manufacturing cost is high.

In view of this point, the present invention provides a handlebar protector for a motorcycle, which can reduce the number of parts and cost, and can reliably protect the hand lever and the grip portion without receiving the force in the direction of loosening the bolt that is directly tightened. The purpose is to

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the handle protector of the motorcycle of the present invention has a central portion attached to the front fork,
The grips are attached to both ends of the handle pipe that extends to the left and right, and the hand lever is provided on the front side of the grip.The protector pipe is fastened at one end to the fastening fitting that attaches the handle pipe to the front fork. It is arranged so that the other end is bent into a U shape, fitted to the tip of the handle pipe, and fastened with a screw.

[Action]

The protector pipe is arranged at the front ends of the hand lever and the grip, and the protector pipe can be first impacted when the vehicle rolls over to protect the hand lever and the grip. The protector pipe has one end that is fastened together with the fastening metal fitting that attaches the handle pipe to the front fork, and the other end that fits the tip of the handle pipe and is fastened with a screw, so there is no dedicated mounting hardware and the number of parts There are few and can be made inexpensive. Also, the tip receives stress at the portion inserted into the handle pipe, and the screw can be prevented from coming off, so there is little slack.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. As for the handle pipe 1, the central part is the left and right fastening fittings 2.
Then, attach it to the upper end of the front fork 3. Then, attach the grips 4 to the left and right ends of the handle pipe 1,
The hand lever 5 is arranged on the front side of the grip 4. Thus, according to the present invention, one end of the protector pipe 6 is flatly crushed and passed through the fastening bolts 7 of the fastening metal fitting 2 so that the handle pipe 1
And tighten it together. The protector pipe 6 is arranged on the front side of the hand lever 5, and the other end side thereof is bent in a U shape to the rear side. The tip of the handle pipe 1 is thinned, the other end of the protector pipe 6 is fitted to the tip of the handle pipe 1, and a screw 8 is laterally passed through the handle pipe 1 for fastening.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the other end of the protector pipe 6 is fitted to the end of the handle pipe 1 so that the screw 8 does not penetrate to the lower side. The screw 8 is fastened to the engraved screw hole 9.

FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment of the present invention.
In this case, the protector pipe 6 is made thinner than the handle pipe 1, and the protector pipe 6 can be inserted as it is without making the end of the handle pipe 1 thin, and the screw 8 is laterally penetrated. It's fastened.

Screw 8 is handle pipe 1 and protector pipe 6
The protector pipe 6 receives most of the impact that the protector pipe 6 receives.
Can be received at the fitting portion of the handle pipe 1.

[Effect of device]

As described above, since the present invention is configured as described above, the protector pipe arranged on the front side of the hand lever can protect the hand lever and the grip. Further, the protector pipe can be prevented from rotating due to impact. Further, the metal fittings for mounting the protector pipe only need to be screws, and the number of parts is small and the cost can be reduced.
