It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by any of the details of the description to those skilled in the art from the standpoint of a person skilled in the art that any or all of the drawings shown in the drawings are not necessarily the shape,

1 to 5 relate to a handlebar according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The handle bar 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is mounted on the motorcycle, specifically, connected to the fork on which the front wheel is mounted via the stem.

The handle bar 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a main bar 10, a vertical bar 20, a horizontal bar 30, and a joint member 40. Here, the main bar 10, the vertical bar 20, and the horizontal bar 30 are hollow tubes.

In the illustrated embodiment, the main bar 10 and the vertical bar 20 are made of separate members and then coupled through the joint member 40. However, in another embodiment, not shown, A single steel pipe can be bent integrally.

FIG. 1 shows an angle adjustment of the handle, which is one of the objects of the present invention. The angle of the horizontal bar 30 coupled to the upper end of the vertical bar 20 can be changed around the vertical bar 20 in the substantially XY plane (strictly, the XY plane when the bent vertical axis is the Z axis).

Since the vertical bar 20 is curved in its longitudinal direction, when the horizontal bar 30 is rotated so as to face the front of FIG. 1, the knob portion 33 is gradually lowered. The handle portion 33 whose end portion is slightly lowered to the user located in the front direction of the drawing prevents the wrist joint of the user who holds the knob portion 33 from being greatly broken, thereby inducing a more convenient riding position.

A joint member 40 is used at a connection point between the vertical bar 20 and the horizontal bar 30. [

The joint member 40 has a configuration in which the horizontal bar 30 having a predetermined angle is fixed so as not to be rotated any more, and the horizontal bar 30 is engaged with the vertical bar 20 without detaching it.

The joint member 40 is shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

First, the transverse bar 30 includes a cylindrical body 31 and an extended portion 32 extending outwardly of the cylindrical body 31. Each of the cylindrical body 31 and the extended portion 32 is hollow and these are integrated with each other by welding. The handle portion 33 is mounted to the extended portion 32 at a later stage. A large number of handle portions 33 having different lengths are prepared, and a handle portion of an appropriate length is used in accordance with a user's demand, thereby allowing the user to take a riding position tailored to the user.

A first tooth 311 is formed at the lower end of the cylindrical body 31 along the circumference.

The joint member 40 includes a connecting portion 41, a guide tube 42, and a mounting bolt portion 43.

The connecting portion 41 is a short steel pipe member fixed to the upper end of the vertical bar, and a second tooth 411 engaged with the first tooth 311 is formed on the upper surface. In the illustrated embodiment, the first tooth 311 and the second tooth 411 may be triangular, or may be variously shaped like a rectangle, a semi-circle, or the like in other embodiments.

The guide tube 42 is a tube member inserted and fixed to the end of the vertical bar 20 and protrudes longer than the connection portion 41 from the end of the vertical bar 20. [ The outer diameter of the guide tube 42 may be substantially the same as the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 31.

A plurality of welding holes (H) are formed around an end of the vertical bar (20) and an outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion (41). The connecting portion 41 and the guide pipe 42 are welded to the upper end of the vertical bar 20 without increasing the thickness substantially by welding each vertical bar 20 and the welding hole H of the connecting portion 41 with the guide pipe 42, Can be firmly fixed.

In other embodiments, the connecting portion may be omitted and a second tooth may be formed at the top of the longitudinal bar. In this case, there is an inconvenience in machining, but welding of the connecting portion can be omitted.

A cylindrical body 31 is inserted into an end of the vertical bar 20 on which the guide pipe 42 is mounted to connect the vertical bar 20 with the horizontal bar 30. At this time, the angle of the horizontal bar 30 with respect to the vertical bar 20 is fixed while the first and second teeth are engaged. Also, by changing the positions where the first and second teeth are engaged, the angle of the horizontal bar with respect to the vertical bar can be adjusted according to the user's request.

The guide tube 42 guides the cylindrical body 31, i.e., the horizontal bar 30, in the correct direction to guide the first and second teeth to be properly engaged.

Furthermore, the guide pipe 42 is formed with a communication hole 421 for communicating the inside of the vertical bar 20 with the inside of the horizontal bar 30. An electric wire L or a wire that has entered the vertical bar 20 through the communication hole 421 can reach the horizontal bar 30 and the handle portion 33.

On the other hand, the mounting bolt portion 43 is a member for fixing the cylindrical body 31 by detachably fixing the guide tube 42 to the upper end portion.

In the illustrated embodiment, a fastening member 422 having a screw thread formed on the inner circumferential surface thereof is welded to the upper end of the guide tube 42, and the fastening member 422 is screwed to the fastening member 422. In another embodiment, a thread can be formed directly on the upper inner circumferential surface of the guide tube.

The outer circumferential surface of the mounting bolt portion 43 is formed into a hexagonal section so as to be easily gripped and rotated. The mounting bolt portion 43 is fastened to the guide pipe 42 so that the cylindrical body 31 is caught between the connecting portion 41 and the mounting bolt portion 43 so that the horizontal bar 30 can not be arbitrarily detached.

In addition, a wire hole 431 is formed in the mounting bolt portion 43 so as to communicate with the inside of the guide pipe 42. A light source module 44 such as an LED is mounted on the head portion of the mounting bolt portion 43. The light source module 44 can receive power from an electric wire passing through the electric wire hole 431. [

A cap 45 for emitting light of the light source module 44 is coupled to the upper portion of the mounting bolt portion 43. The light emitted into the gaps of the cap 45 is utilized as a decorative element to reveal the taste of the rider.

A socket or a connector for supplying power to the portable electronic device in place of the light source module 44 or the cap 45, and a mount for holding the portable electronic device.

And a closure member 50 surrounding the connection portion 41 attached to the end portion of the vertical bar 20 and the end portion of the vertical bar 20 in a further configuration. A sealing is provided at the end of the vertical bar 20, and a cylindrical closing member 50 is inserted at the top and supported by sealing. As a result, the end portion of the vertical bar 20 and the connection portion 41 are prevented from being hidden from the outside, so that a high-quality image can be produced.

The joint member 40 may also be used at a connection point between the main bar 10 and the vertical bar 20. 4 to 5 relate to the articulating member 40 used at the connection point between the main bar 10 and the vertical bar 20.

The main bar (10) has a cylindrical portion (11) formed with a tooth shape along the circumference.

The joint member 40 is connected to the lower end of the vertical bar 20 and specifically includes a connecting portion 41 having teeth formed to engage with the upper end of the cylindrical portion 11 of the main bar 10, A guide pipe 42 coupled to the guide pipe 42 so as to protrude further downward than the connecting portion 41 and a guide pipe 42 inserted into the guide pipe 42 to prevent the cylindrical portion 11 of the main bar 10, And a mounting bolt portion 43 for screwing an end portion of the mounting bolt. A closing member 50 is also provided with an additional configuration that can be omitted.

The detailed configuration and operation of the joint member 40, the closing member 50, etc., and the function of adjusting the rotation angle of the vertical bar with respect to the main bar according to the engagement position of the teeth are substantially the same as those of the above- It is omitted.

5, the vertical bar 20 is curved along the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction), and the spacing distance between the upper ends of the vertical bars 20 is changed according to the rotation angle of the vertical bar 20 with respect to the main bar 10 . That is, the spacing distance of the horizontal bar 30 along the Y-axis direction of the drawing is changed. In addition, the upper end (i.e., the horizontal bar) of the vertical bar 20 is moved toward or away from the user (in the X-axis direction) toward the user positioned on the front side as the vertical bar 20 rotates. Since the vertical bar 20 has a curved shape bent in the longitudinal direction, the rotation of the vertical bar 20 relative to the main bar 10 results in various riding positions.

By changing the angle of rotation of the vertical bar with respect to the main bar and adjusting the angle of rotation of the horizontal bar with respect to the vertical bar, the change of the shape of the handle bar can be further diversified. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the shape of the handlebar according to the body shape and the convenience of the user after setting the state to one state and riding for a certain period of time. This allows safer riding.

6-9 relate to an angle-adjustable handlebar 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. R is the O-ring.

The handle bar 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a main bar 10, a vertical bar 20, a horizontal bar 30 and a joint member 40, and is not in conflict with the following description The technical characteristics of the embodiment described above can be directly included.

7 shows the joint member 40 used at the connection point between the vertical bar 20 and the horizontal bar 30 in an exploded manner.

The bar 30 includes a cylindrical body 31 and an extended portion 32. The extended portion 32 is connected to a handle portion 33. [

A first tooth 311 having a trapezoidal shape is formed around the lower end of the cylindrical body 31. A second tooth 411 having a trapezoidal shape corresponding to the first tooth 311 is formed at the end of the vertical bar 20, Respectively. Since the second tooth 411 is formed directly on the end of the vertical bar 20, the number of operations can be reduced as compared with the above-described embodiment. In addition, since the trapezoidal tooth type increases the volume of the tooth shape, high rigidity can be exhibited.

The outer diameter of the guide pipe 42 is manufactured in accordance with the inner diameter of the vertical bar 20 so that the guide pipe 42 is partially inserted into the vertical bar 20, Is fixed to the vertical bar 20.

The guide tube 42 is formed with a communication hole 421 through which an electric wire or the like passes. At this time, the communication hole 421 is formed to be large at an angle at which the extended portion 32 is placed. Although the pair of communication holes are formed in the front and rear in the above-described embodiment, the communication holes are formed by one communication hole 421 in this embodiment, thereby reducing the number of workings.

The guide pipe 42 is formed with a cutout portion 423 extending from the communication hole 421 and opened to the upper end of the guide pipe. The width of the cutout portion 423 is formed at least such that the electric wire L can pass through.

The joint member 40 is assembled after the electric wire L is passed through the vertical bar 20 for the normal operation efficiency. If the cutout portion 423 is not provided, the electric wire is protruded through the communication hole 421, The cylindrical body 31 of the bar 30 is to be coupled to the guide tube 42. At this time, since the outer diameter of the guide tube 42 is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 41, the electric wire L is caught by the outer peripheral surface of the guide tube 42 and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 41, In severe cases, the electric wire may be cut or crooked.

In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment, by forming the cutout portion 423, the electric wire L stays inside the guide pipe 42 during the process of covering the cylindrical pipe 41 with the guide pipe 42 Through the cutout portion 423, through the upper end of the guide pipe 42 and into the inside of the horizontal bar 30.

After the first and second teeth are engaged and the installation angle of the horizontal bar is determined, the cylindrical closing member 50 covers and covers the coupling portions of the first and second teeth.

On the inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the guide pipe 42, a fastening member 422 having a hole through which the electric wire passes is screwed. A mounting bolt portion (43) is screwed to the upper end of the fastening member fastened to the guide pipe (42) to prevent the horizontal bar from being separated.

At this time, a tongue bolt 46 is used to prevent the screwing of the mounting bolt portion 43 from being released from vibration. The tongue bolt 46 is engaged with the fastening hole 432 formed on the side surface of the mounting bolt portion 43 and the end portion thereof is caught in the peripheral groove 312 formed along the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the cylindrical body 31. Thereby, even if the vibration is transmitted to the mounting bolt portion 43 over a long period of time, the mounting bolt portion 43 can be prevented from being arbitrarily disengaged.
