Benefits of technology

The system provides a secure, stable, and easy-to-use solution for attaching and detaching handlebars, addressing the bulkiness and storage issues of conventional systems while ensuring the stability and quick coupling of handlebars.

Problems solved by technology

But for many, bicycling is not just a means for transportation, people ride for fun, to work out, to compete, or for no reason at all.
In addition, finding storage space for bicycles can be an uphill battle; people living in urban environments like the convenience of a bicycle but don't want to give up valuable space in their home when the bicycle is brought inside.
To illustrate, conventional bicycle handlebars are bulky and create storage issues because of their extended profile.

Abstract

System and method for fixing detachable handlebars to a mount. Specifically, the mount is independent the handlebars; the mount may include structure, corresponding to the handlebars that comprises a coupling that allows for the mount to quickly and simply engage and disengage the handlebars while also maintaining the coupling free from sliding, rotating, disengaging, or otherwise moving while mounted. In the present arrangement the mount includes a front plate, corresponding receiver shaft assembly including the aforementioned structure, and a mount bracket. The mount bracket may contain structure allowing for the mount to be coupled to any surface that can support the weight of the mount and handlebars. The assembly disclosed in accordance with the present invention may generally exploit several compression mechanisms to bias a series of keys into a locking position to secure the handlebars attachment to the mount. Other embodiments are also included.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 472,140 filed on Mar. 28, 2017 which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 314,388, filed Mar. 29, 2016 which is herein incorporated entirely by reference.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]People have been using bicycles as a means for transportation for hundreds of years. Bicycling is easy to learn for people of all ages, and because it doesn't require fuel, or emit exhaust, it is a clean, accessible activity that anyone can do. But for many, bicycling is not just a means for transportation, people ride for fun, to work out, to compete, or for no reason at all. Because bicycling has become such a ubiquitous activity, the industry has responded by developing a wide array of customizable bicycle technology. For example, the industry has seen advancement in bicycle handlebar design, automatically adjustable bicycle seats, and the integration of sma...
