TH37140B - Passenger restriction devices for two-wheeled vehicles - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (20/03/56) In providing a passenger restraint device for two-wheel vehicles which can be easily applied to small vehicles and can limit the load acting on the passenger without increasing the size of the plate, it consists of a restraint device 30 fitted to the steering handle 16 so that it faces the passenger, a front fork 15 which is supported in a steerable position by means of a head tube 11, a steering handle tube 20 for connecting the steering handle 16 to the front fork 15, and a collapsible compression member 32 for receiving the forward load acting on the restraint device 30 and causing the steering handle tube 20 to be plastically deformed towards the front at a predetermined position. In providing a passenger restraint device for two-wheel vehicles which can be easily applied to small vehicles and can limit the load acting on the passenger without increasing the size of the plate, it consists of a restraint device 30 fitted to the steering handle 16 so that it faces the passenger. The front fork 15, which is supported in a steerable manner by means of a head tube 11, a steering handle tube 20 for connecting the steering handle 16 to the front fork 15, and a folding compression member 32 for receiving a forward load acting on the restraint plate 30 and causing the steering handle tube 20 to plastically deform by inclining it towards the front at a predetermined position.

Claims (3)

1. A passenger restraint device for two-wheeled vehicles that restricts the forward movement of a passenger on a two-wheeled vehicle. It consists of: a restraint plate mounted to the steering handle to face the front chest of the passenger; a tubular steering assembly supported by a tubular head tube; a tubular steering handle connecting assembly for connecting the steering handle to the steering assembly; and a collapsible compression assembly that absorbs the forward load acting on the restraint plate and allows the steering handle connecting assembly to deform so that it tilts forward to a predetermined position. 2. A passenger restriction device for a two-wheeled vehicle under claim 1, where the connecting piece of the steering handle is thinner than the thickness of the front forks of that two-wheeled vehicle. 3. A passenger restriction device for two-wheeled vehicles as per claim 1 or 2, which is further incorporated with a reinforcing assembly for limiting the amount of forward tilt of the steering handle connecting assembly.
