Problems solved by technology

However, these accessory devices have a relatively high cost and are designed for the professional market
[0007] Other, more common glove types, such as natural or synthetic fiber gloves, have lower cost but do not ensure a proper grip and may jeopardize the safety of the cyclist

Embodiment Construction

[0027] With reference to the above figures, the handlebar of the present invention, generally designated by the numeral 1, can be attached to the frame T of a bicycle and generally any vehicle (even a motor vehicle) having one or more front wheels steered by the handlebar .

[0028] The handlebar 1 may be formed from metal, plastic or a composite material such as carbon fiber or similar, and can be attached to the frame in a permanent or detachable manner.

[0029] According to the invention, the handlebar 1 has a tubular body 2, a central part 4 intended to be attached to a bicycle frame T, and end parts 5, 5' designed to be gripped by the user's hand, wherein said tubular body 2 has Axial lumen 3.

[0030] According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the tubular body 2 has at least one air inlet 6 close to its central part 4 and at least one air outlet opening 7 in the remaining area.

[0031] The inlet opening 6 is at least partially oriented in the forward ...

Abstract

The present invention finds application in the art of sport and leisure accessories, and relates to a ventilated bicycle handlebar which comprises a tubular body (2) having an axial inner cavity (3), a center portion (4) for connection to a bicycle frame (T) and end portions (5, 5'), designed to be grasped by the hands of a user. The tubular body (2) has at least one air inlet (6) at the center portion (4) and at least one air outlet (7) in the remaining areas. The inlet (6) is at least partly oriented in the riding direction so that the incoming air can flow through the inner cavity (3) and come out of the outlet (7) to ventilate the hands of a user during riding.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention finds general application in the field of sports and leisure accessories, and in particular relates to a tubular bicycle handlebar having holes for ventilation of the handle portion thereof. Background technique [0002] Bicycle handlebars are known as being formed from a tubular or solid rod which is mounted at its middle to the bicycle frame and is designed at its ends to be gripped by the cyclist. [0003] Furthermore, for a safer and more comfortable grip by the cyclist, handles or straps made of elastomeric material, gel, leather or the like are often applied to the gripping area. [0004] US4462267 and US20030226420 disclose specific embodiments of bicycle handlebars. [0005] However, long rides, especially in competitions, or especially in hot conditions, can lead to excessive sweaty hands, which can impair grip or even cause damage to the skin, e.g. Skin blisters. [0006] In view of the foregoing, cyclists often wear ...
