Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a handlebar tape assembly and a bicycle, and in particular to a handlebar tape assembly and a bicycle with a handlebar wound around the handlebar. Background Art

[0002] As environmental awareness gradually rises, people's demand for bicycles is gradually increasing, and they are pursuing higher quality bicycles. Taking road bicycles as an example, in order to protect the hollow tubular handlebars, relevant industries have developed a tail plug to prevent the end of the handlebar from being damaged. Conventional tail plugs are inserted into the end of the handlebar in an interference manner and can easily be ejected from the handlebar due to external force. In order to tightly fit the tail plug to the handlebar, the outer diameter of the tail plug is set to be slightly equal to the inner diameter of the handlebar. However, the user needs to expend considerable effort to install the tail plug on the handlebar, resulting in difficulties in installation and removal. In addition, the handlebar may have different inner diameters due to manufacturing tolerances, so the tail plug may not necessarily fit the inner diameter of the handlebar. Therefore, the tail plug must undergo further processing before it can be installed on the handlebar, causing installation difficulties.

[0003] To solve the above problem, some related industries have developed a tail plug that is installed on the grip in a sleeve-on manner. However, the tail plug of the sleeve-on method requires additional adhesive to be added after installation on the grip, and then wrapped with handlebar tape, which makes it difficult to remove and leaves residual adhesive.

[0004] In view of this, a handlebar tape assembly and a bicycle that can simultaneously improve the stability of use and the convenience of installation are still the common goals of relevant industries. Utility Model Content

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a handle strap assembly 1000 installed on a handle 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 Drawing in accordance with Figure 1 A partial exploded view of the handle strap assembly 1000 and the handle 100 of the embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the handlebar strap set 1000 is used to be set on a bicycle, and the bicycle includes a handle 100, and an end 110 of the handle 100 has an opening 120. The handlebar strap set 1000 includes a cover 1200 and a strap 1100. The cover 1200 is detachably mounted on the end 110, and includes a top 1210, an extension 1220 and at least one cutout 1230. The top 1210 covers the opening 120. The extension 1220 is arranged around the top 1210 and protrudes from the top 1210 along an axis I1 of the cover 1200, and the extension 1220 and the top 1210 form an installation space (not shown), wherein the installation space is used to accommodate the end 110. The cutout 1230 is opened in the extension 1220 and extends from a distal end of the extension 1220 toward the top 1210 ( Figure 1 In this embodiment, the extension portion 1220 extends in a direction parallel to the axis I1. One end of the handlebar 1100 passes through the notch 1230 into the extension portion 1220 and is sandwiched between the extension portion 1220 and the end 110. The handlebar 1100 is wrapped around the axis I1 around the periphery of the extension portion 1220 and around the handle 100.

[0055] During assembly, the user first inserts handlebar strap 1100 through cutout 1230 into the installation space, then places cover 1200 over end 110 of grip 100, sandwiching handlebar strap 1100 between extension 1220 and end 110. The user then wraps handlebar strap 1100 around axis I1, around the periphery of extension 1220, and then around grip 100. In this manner, handlebar strap 1100 secures cover 1200 to end 110, thereby avoiding the conventional problem of inserting the cover into the grip opening and interfering with it, which can easily be ejected from the opening due to external forces, thereby improving usability. Furthermore, when replacing handlebar strap 1100, the user can easily remove cover 1200 from grip 100 and reinstall it, avoiding the conventional problem of interfering with the cover, which makes removal and installation difficult. Furthermore, the cover 1200 is installed in a sleeve-like manner on the end 110, further avoiding the problem in conventional methods where the cover opening's inner diameter varies due to manufacturing tolerances in the grip, forcing the user to reduce the cover's outer diameter. Therefore, the grip strap assembly 1000 of the present invention further enhances stability and ease of installation. The structural details of the grip strap assembly 1000 are described in detail below.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there can be two grip strap assemblies 1000. The grips 100 are located on either side of the integrally formed handlebars and are connected to a riser of the frame at the center of the handlebars. The connection structure is well known in the art and will not be described in detail here. The grips 100 comprise multiple curved segments that form a curved handlebar portion for the user to grasp. Specifically, the bicycle equipped with the grips 100 is a road bicycle with an integrally formed hollow tubular handlebar structure, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0057] The handlebar strap 1100 can be made of a plastic material with a textured surface. The plastic material's ductility and surface texture further increase the surface friction of the handlebar strap 1100, thereby strengthening the grip of the handlebar strap 1100 around the extension 1220 and the handle 100, thereby enhancing the stability of the grip. In other embodiments, the handlebar strap can be made of cork or leather, and adhesive can be applied to the surface of the strap to enhance the grip of the extension and the handle, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4A and Figure 4B Also see Figure 2 ,in Figure 3 Drawing in accordance with Figure 2 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the cover 1200 of the embodiment, Figure 4A Drawing in accordance with Figure 3 A side view of the cover 1200 of the embodiment, Figure 4B Drawing in accordance with Figure 3 A top view of the cover 1200 of the embodiment. Figures 2 to 4B As shown, the number of cutouts 1230 can be one, and the width w1 of the cutout 1230 can be greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm. By limiting the width w1 of the cutout 1230, it is convenient to insert the belt 1100 into the extension portion 1220 and avoid the possibility of the belt 1100 being loosened from the extension portion 1220. In other embodiments, the number of cutouts can be multiple, and the present invention is not limited to this. The top 1210 has an angled structure 1211 and a support portion 1212, and the support portion 1212 is integrally connected to the angled structure 1211 and the extension portion 1220. The radial width of the angled structure 1211 gradually decreases from the extension portion 1220. Figure 4AFrom a viewing angle, the top portion 1210 is rectangular, while the angled structure 1211 is roughly trapezoidal. The angled structure 1211 forms an angle θ with the axis I1 of 45 degrees, but the present invention is not limited to this angle θ. The angled structure 1211 can serve as a chamfer on the cover 1200 to prevent accidental injuries to the user when gripping the handle 100. In other embodiments, the top portion can have rounded corners to further reduce the risk of injury, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0059] like Figure 4B As shown, the radial width d1 of the extension portion 1220 is smaller than the radial width d2 of the support portion 1212. Furthermore, the outer edge of the top portion 1210 (the outer edge of the support portion 1212) and the outer edge of the extension portion 1220 are not equidistant. Instead, a maximum spacing distance d3 exists between the outer edges of the top portion 1210 and the extension portion 1220. This maximum spacing distance d3 can be greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm. Due to the configuration of maximum spacing distance d3, when the handlebar strap 1100 is wrapped around the extension portion 1220, the thickness of the handlebar strap 1100 wrapped around the extension portion 1220 does not significantly exceed the outer edge of the top portion 1210. This ensures a continuous appearance of the handlebar strap 1100 and the cover 1200, eliminating the appearance of a convex shape at the portion where the handlebar strap 1100 wraps around the extension portion 1220. This improves the aesthetics of the grip tape assembly 1000.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 Drawing in accordance with Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the handlebar 1100 wrapping around the extension 1220 from the cutout 1230 of the embodiment. Figure 3 、 Figure 4B and Figure 5 As shown, the extension 1220 may include a radial protrusion 1221 adjacent to the cutout 1230. The aforementioned end of the handlebar 1100 passes through the cutout 1230 and is sandwiched between the radial protrusion 1221 and the grip 100. The provision of the radial protrusion 1221 allows the gap between the grip 100 and the inner surface of the extension 1220 to be smaller than the initial thickness of the handlebar 1100. When the cover 1200 is fitted over the end 110, the handlebar 1100 attached to the inner surface of the extension 1220 is squeezed by the radial protrusion 1221 and the grip 100, becoming tightly sandwiched between the radial protrusion 1221 and the grip 100, further enhancing the strength with which the handlebar 1100 secures the cover 1200 to the grip 100.

[0061] The radial protrusion 1221 may have a chamfered portion 1222, the thickness of which tapers toward the cutout 1230. Furthermore, the inner surface of the extension 1220 may include a first curved surface 1223 and a second curved surface 1224. The first curved surface 1223 and the second curved surface 1224 are connected to each other along a circumferential direction, with the second curved surface 1224 being adjacent to the radial protrusion 1221. The first curved surface 1223 and the second curved surface 1224 have different centers. The first curved surface 1223 and the second curved surface 1224 respectively have a first inner diameter R1 and a second inner diameter R2, with the first inner diameter R1 being smaller than the second inner diameter R2. The inner surface of the extension 1220 is divided into four curved surfaces by two radial axes X1 and Y1, centered at the center of the first curved surface 1223 and passing through the center of the first curved surface 1223. The first curved surface 1223 is formed by connecting three curved surfaces, and the second curved surface 1224 is another curved surface. Specifically, the first inner diameter R1 can be equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the handle 100, allowing the first curved surface 1223 to conform to the outer wall of the handle 100. Furthermore, because the second inner diameter R2 is larger than the outer diameter of the handle 100, a gap is formed between the second curved surface 1224 and the outer wall of the handle 100 to accommodate the handle strap 1100. Furthermore, the second curved surface 1224 and the radial protrusion 1221 form a groove, allowing the aforementioned end of the handle strap 1100 to engage with the groove, thereby enhancing the strength of the handle strap 1100 in securing the cover 1200 to the handle 100.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7A and Figure 7B ,in Figure 6 FIG2 is a partial perspective view of a bicycle 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7A Drawing in accordance with Figure 6 A top view of a cover 2200 of an embodiment, Figure 7B Drawing in accordance with Figure 6 A top view of another cover 3200 of the embodiment. Figure 6 、 Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, the bicycle 10 includes a frame 11, two wheels (not shown), and two handlebar strap assemblies 2000 and 3000. The wheels are connected to the frame 11, the frame 11 includes a handlebar (not shown), and the handlebar includes two grips 12 and 13 located on the right and left sides respectively. The grip strap assemblies 2000 and 3000 are respectively provided on the two grips 12 and 13. The handlebar is connected to the seat tube, and the seat tube is connected to the vertical tube. The structure and configuration of the grip strap assemblies 2000 and 3000 are similar to those of the bicycle 10. Figure 1The structure and configuration of the grip tape assembly 1000 of the embodiment are similar and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, the radial protrusions 2221 of the cover 2200 of the grip tape assembly 2000 and the radial protrusions 3221 of the cover 3200 of the grip tape assembly 3000 are located on different sides of the corresponding cutouts 2230 and 3230, respectively.

[0063] like Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, from the same top view, radial protrusion 2221 is adjacent to the right side of cutout 2230, while radial protrusion 3221 is adjacent to the left side of cutout 3230. When one strap is inserted through cutout 2230, one end of the first strap extends toward the right side of cutout 2230, sandwiching it between one handle and radial protrusion 2221. When another strap is inserted through cutout 3230, one end of the second strap extends toward the left side of cutout 3230, sandwiching it between the other handle and radial protrusion 3221. In other words, the radial protrusion of the present invention can be located on either the left or right side of the cutout, depending on whether the cover is installed on the left or right handle.

[0064] In the conventional method, the grip tape assembly has different winding directions for the left and right grips, and the user must memorize the different winding methods of the grip tape. If the grip tape is wound around the right grip in the same way as the left grip, it will affect the force of the right hand holding the right grip. Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, the user can directly position the handlebar tape based on the locations of the radial protrusions 2221 and 3221 in the cutouts 2230 and 3230, respectively, and wrap the tape around the grips 12 and 13 in the direction indicated by the chamfered portions of the radial protrusions 2221 and 3221. Taking the right grip 12 as an example, the user can wrap the tape around grip 12 in a clockwise direction as indicated by the chamfered portions of the radial protrusions 2221. The tape wrapped around the left grip 13 follows the opposite direction. This guides the user in the winding direction, eliminating the need to memorize conventional methods for wrapping the tape, thereby improving the user's convenience in wrapping the tape.

[0065] Furthermore, the top of the cover 2200, 3200 may include a marking mark 2213, 3213 respectively. The marking mark 2213, 3213 is set in the installation space. Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, the marking marks 2213 and 3213 are respectively R and L characters, so that the user can identify that the cover 2200 and 3200 correspond to the right and left handles 12 and 13, respectively. This can improve the smoothness of installation.

[0066] In summary, the present invention provides a handlebar strap set and a bicycle, which have the following advantages: first, by clamping the handlebar strap between the cover body and the end of the handle, the stability of use and the convenience of installation can be improved; second, by configuring the radial protrusion structure, the handlebar strap can be further clamped between the extension portion and the handle; and third, by configuring the first curved surface and the second curved surface, the handle can be fitted to the first curved surface, and space is reserved for the handlebar strap to be accommodated in the extension portion, so as to enhance the strength of the handlebar strap in fixing the cover body to the handle.

[0067] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to the embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
