Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a handle grip attached to a rod-like handle of a small vehicle such as a motorcycle or a tricycle.

- and ""-" Handlebars and grips for small vehicles such as motorcycles and tricycles are usually made by fitting a grip tube made of soft material such as rubber onto a rod-shaped handle directly or through another member. It is constructed by
4123, Utility Model Publication No. 58-8630). By the way, since a normal handle/grip has a constant outer diameter, it has been desired to make the outer diameter of the handle/grip variable.

An object of the present invention is to make the outer diameter of a handle/grip for a small heavy-duty wheel adjustable, thereby responding to individual differences.

The object of this invention is to provide a handle/grip for a small vehicle consisting of a rod-shaped handle and a grip cylinder made of a soft material fitted onto the outside, and a set screw screwed into the outer end of the rod-shaped handle; An adjuster is held on the outer ts part of the rod-shaped handle and can be reversibly rotated around the central axis of the rod-shaped handle, and the adjuster is inserted between the rod-shaped handle and the grip tube, and one end of the adjuster is inserted between the rod-shaped handle and the grip tube. As the portion approaches or moves away from the other end, its longitudinal center correspondingly expands or contracts in the radial direction, thereby increasing the distance between the grips. Increase or reduce the outer diameter of the main part t! We decided to provide a variable diameter handle/grip consisting of a grip diameter adjustment means and a grip area, and ■ a throttle/grip pipe rotatably fitted onto the rod-shaped handle using a soft material. This is a handle/grip for a small vehicle, which is formed by fitting a formed grip cylinder onto the outside, and includes a set screw screwed into the outer end of the bar-shaped handle, and a set screw that is held at the outer end of the bar-shaped handle by the set screw, and a bar-shaped handle. An adjuster that can be reversibly rotated around the center axis of the handlebar is inserted between the throttle grip pipe and the grip tube, and rotates together with the throttle grip pipe. As the outer end approaches or moves away from the inner end, its longitudinal center correspondingly expands or contracts in the radial direction, thereby increasing the diameter of the grip tube. This is accomplished by providing a variable diameter handle/grip that is comprised of a grip tube and a grip diameter adjusting means that can increase or decrease the outside diameter.

For example, the grip diameter adjusting body 42 made of spring steel includes a half-rest 44 on the right side of the locking piece 46 and a half-rest 48 having the locking piece 50.
It consists of. With the rotary tube 32 sandwiched between them, the half-holes 44 and 48 are butted together U, and the circlips 5 are attached to both ends.
8.130, the grip diameter adjusting body 42 is assembled. Curl diameter adjusting body 42 as a hollow assembly
has threaded portions 52.54 (mutually in a reverse threaded relationship) that are screwed into the threaded portions 34 and 36 of the rotary cylinder 32 at both ends thereof, and has a plurality of thin threads connecting the threaded portions 52.54. It has a width spring plate 56. The locking pieces 46 and 50 of the grip diameter adjuster 42 engage with a pair of locking grooves 14 formed on the outer periphery of the rod-shaped handle 10, and this engagement relationship is maintained by the adjuster 2.
4 prevents the grip diameter adjusting body 42 from rotating when the rotary cylinder 32 is rotated.

The grip tube 62 made of a highly elastic soft material such as rubber has a plurality of stripes W164 on its inner wall, into which the spring plates 5G of the grip diameter adjuster 42 fit, and the membrane strip grooves 64 have spring plates. The plate 56 is fitted onto the grip diameter adjusting body 42 in a fitted state, and one end thereof is in close contact with the outer periphery of the rod-shaped handle 10.
The other end enters the annular vortex 30 of the regulator 24.

In such a configuration, when the adjuster 24 is rotated, for example, in a counterclockwise direction, the rotary cylinder 32 rotates due to the engagement relationship of the locking piece 38 with the locking groove 28, and the screw portion 34.3t3, which is a reverse screw body, rotates. Threaded portion 52 of grip diameter adjusting body 42 to be screwed together
．． 54 moves in the direction approaching the phase n under the locking relationship of the locking piece 46. is bent and bent outward, and the grip tube 62 is expanded and expanded 170 (FIG. 4). From this state, when the adjuster 24 is rotated counterclockwise around δ1, the threaded portions 52 and 54 of the grip diameter adjuster 42 move in opposite directions, and the ti noise of the spring plate 56 becomes smaller and expands. The outer diameter of the grip cylinder 62 in this state becomes smaller.

In this way, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the grip tube 62 can be easily adjusted by rotating the adjuster 24, and the vehicle user himself/herself can adjust the outer diameter of the grip tube 62 to fit the size of his/her hand. It is very convenient because you can choose.
