J OSEPH A. KENNEDY, OF KIONA, WSHINGTON.
'BICYCLE HAND-GRIP.
Application filed May 4, 1917.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known-that I, JOSEPH A. KENNEDY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kiona, in the county of Benton and State of l/Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bicycle Hand- Grips; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to hand grips for bicycles, motorcycles or like vehicles, and the primary object of the invention is to provide a resilient hand grip, which is constructed, so that it will not break at the outer end of the handle bar, upon which it is mounted, thereby providing a durable and relatively inexpensive hand grip.
provide a hand grip as specified, the outer casing of which is constructed of any suitable type of resilient material, such as layers of fabric coated with rubber, and which has a coil spring positioned interiorly thereof, which coil spring is constructed of tapered wire, having the end of the spring which is next to the end of the handle bar of greater strength than the outer end of the spring.
With the foregoing and other objects in view this invention consists in such novel features of construction, combinationand arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyino' drawin and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters designate like and corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is a longitudinal section through the improved hand grip, and
Fig. 2 is a cross section in the line 2-2 of Fi 1.
Reerring more particularly to the drawing, V1' designates a fragment of a handle bar of an ordinary bicycle. motorcycle, or the like, which has a hand grip generally indicated by the numeral 2 mounted thereon. The hand grip 2 comprises an outer casing 3 which is constructed of layers of fabric, with an outer casing or coating of rubber or analogous resilient material. The casing 3 extends over the end of the handle bar l, and it has a collar 4 positioned A further object of this invention is to.

therein. The collar et is constructedV of sheet metal, and Vhas'a partition or plate 5 extending across the same, which plate is adapted for abutment against the end of the handle bar l. p V
The plate 5 is formed intermediateV the ends of the collar 4L, so that a portion of the collar will extend about the end of the handle baril. A metallic cap 6 is positioned within the cuter end of the casing 3. A spiral spring 7 is mounted within the casing 3, and is constructed of tapering wire, p
which is coiled to form the spring and has its heavier end positioned inwardly, thereby providing a spring, which 'is of greater strength at its inner end than at its outer end, so as to eliminate the liability of cracking or breaking of the casing 3 at the end of the handle bar l due to excessive bending thereof at its line of juncture with the bar. The inner end of the spring 7 is coiled to form a flat coil as clearly shown at 8 in Fig. 2 of the drawing, and it has its end secured to the plate 5, by a rivet, bolt or analogous fasteningdevice indicated at 9.
The flat coil 8 of the spring abuts the outer face of the plate 5.
In reducing the invention to practice, certain minor features of construction, combination and yarrangement of parts may necessitate alterations to which the patentee is entitled provided such alterations are comprehended within the scope of what is claimed.
What is claimed is 1. In a hand grip structure, an outer casing constructed of resilient material having one end closed, a spiral spring positioned within said casing, said spring being constructed of tapered wire coiled to 'form the spring and having its heavier end positioned inwardly from the closed end of the casing.
2. In a hand grip structure, an outer resilient casing, a metallic collar positioned within said casing and adapted to be secured on the end of a handle bar, a plate extending transversely of said collar, a me tallic cap positioned in one end of said casing, and a spiral spring positioned within said casing, said spring being constructed of tapered wire coiled to form theV spring and having its heavier end positioned within said collar, the inner end of said spring being connected to said plate.
3. The combination with a handle bar, of a exible tubular casing closed at its outer o c l u l c about the endportlon of said bar, a spirally lng, from the outer end thereof. coiled spring positioned within sald Casing, In testimony whereof I aiX my signa end and having its 'inner end fitting snugly noieasino resistance to bending of said cas- 10 and an abutment member positioned within ture in presence of two witnesses:
the casing and engaging the end of the bar, JOSEPH L `KENNEDY Vseid spring being confined between the Outer end of theosing and the abutment member, Witnesses: the spring increasing uniformly inv thickness J .n M. RUSSELL, from its outer end so as to offer uniformly J. H. KENNEDY.
