Embodiment Construction

[0032]In the figures, reference numeral 1 indicates a handlebar assembly for a bicycle, in particular a racing bicycle suitable for speed racing. The handle assembly 1 includes a handle attachment 20 , a handle rod 40 and a stop 60 . With reference to this bicycle, although not illustrated, there is also defined in the handlebar assembly 1 the forward movement direction A of the bicycle during normal forward travel; "front", "backward", "rear", "portrait", "left", "right", etc., unless a different reference is expressly indicated. In the figures, the direction A is shown in a vertical plane of the handlebar attachment 20 and the handlebar 40 , which is the middle plane of the bicycle.

[0033] The handlebar attachment 20 comprises a substantially tubular body 21 between a left side 25 and a right side 26, a rear clamp 22 for locking on top of a bicycle fork (not shown) and a rear clamp 22 for locking with a handle bar 40 Extends between the coupled front bases 23 . The body...

Abstract

A bicycle handlebar assembly (1) comprises a handlebar attachment (20) mounted fixedly connected to a fork of the bicycle and oriented forwards with respect to it, elongated mainly according to its own longitudinal axis (B) inclined with respect to the direction of forward movement (A) of the bicycle by an angle alpha smaller than + / -12 DEG; a handlebar rod (40), provided with handgrips (43, 44) at opposite ends thereof; a front seat (23) formed in the handlebar attachment (20) for abutment of a central area (41) of the handlebar rod (40); a stop (60) removably fixed to said handlebar attachment (20) through attachment screws (63) to lock the handlebar rod (40) in the seat (23) of the handlebar attachment (20). The stop (60) comprises at least one open strap (61; 62), with a central portion (67; 68) arranged in circumferential direction around the handlebar rod (40) and two rear arms (69a, 69b; 70a, 70b) extending in tangential direction with respect to the central portion (67; 68) for fixing to the handlebar attachment (20) by means of the attachment screws (63). The rear attachment arms (69a, 69b; 70a, 70b) of the strap (61; 62) extending in the tangential direction thus face backwards with respect to the direction of forward movement (A) of the bicycle and thus allow the front section of the handlebar assembly (1) to be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle handlebar assembly, and an attachment stop for a bicycle handlebar assembly. Background technique [0002] It is known that a bicycle handlebar assembly generally comprises a handlebar attachment (so-called handle), a handlebar and an attachment stop securing the handlebar and the handlebar attachment together. [0003] The handlebar attachment is mounted on top of the fork, is firmly attached thereto, and is either horizontal in the direction of forward motion of the bicycle or in a direction inclined a few degrees up or down with respect to the direction of forward motion of the bicycle Facing forward almost horizontally. [0004] In the field of racing bicycles, there is a well-known need to reduce the weight of every component by using lightweight materials such as lightweight metals and composites and by taking great care in dimensioning every detail, thereby reducing thickness and dimensions while stil...
