Handlebar grip

Abstract

A handlebar grip (10) includes an outer tube (20), an inner tube (30) extended from the inner side surface of the sealed end of the outer tube to the opening; wherein the external diameter is less than the inner diameter of the outer tube to form an annular space (32) between the inner and outer tubes for receiving therein a bicycle handlebar (G). The inner tube has guide slots (34) and an inner guide surface (36) having a gradually decreased diameter. A long bolt penetrates into the inner tube axially from the outer side of the sealed end of the outer tube, a wedge-shaped member has a proximal end, a remote and an outer side surface matching the inner side conducting surface of the inner tube, and a plurality of ribs located on the surface. The wedge-shaped member is arranged in the outer tube, and a screw joint institution is connected on the long bolt in a manner that the remote is outward and the ribs are embedded in the guide slots of the inner tube, so that when the long bolts is rotated from the outer side, the wedge-shaped member enters into the inner tube along the front inner side guiding surface of the inner tube, and extrudes the inner tube to make the tube wall expanded outwards, and accordingly, the bicycle handlebar located in the annular space is clamped between the inner and outer tubes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is related to the handle of a bicycle or the like, in particular to a grip sleeve used to be fixed on the aforementioned handle for the user to hold. Background technique [0002] Most of the handles of bicycles are made of metal, which is uncomfortable to hold. Therefore, bicycle manufacturers usually add grips made of elastic materials, such as plastics and rubber, to the handles. Generally speaking, the inner diameter of the above-mentioned grip must be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the handlebar in design. Therefore, it is necessary to use an air compressor to blow and fill the opening of the grip with strong wind during assembly, so that the grip can be put on the bicycle handlebar. After the threading is completed, the grip is tightly bound on the handle by its own contraction force and viscosity, so that it will not slip or deflect. [0003] As can be seen from the foregoing, the traditional grip assembly ope...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] As can be seen from the above, the traditional grip assembly operation is very troublesome and laborious, and when the grip is to be replaced, the grip must be removed from the handle by means of blowing, irrigation, and strong wind, which is not possible for ordinary users. replace by yourself

[0004] Based on this, the U.S. No. 6,923,089 and the No. 6,964,214 patents proposed two new grip structures respectively to solve the shortcomings of the aforementioned traditional grip. It is indeed simpler and less labor-intensive than traditional grips, but it also has new disadvantages

This new disadvantage is that the grips are all fixed by a pressing piece against the inner wall of the bicycle handlebar, so when the design of the pressing piece is poor or the material is old, the clamping force between the grip and the handle will be affected. The reliability of the combination of the two is not enough, and the rider will loosen the grip while riding

[0005] The reason is that a grip structure that can solve the troublesome problem of traditional grip assembly and does not have the shortcomings of the aforementioned two patent cases has yet to be proposed.
