[0034] In the following description, the principles of this disclosure will be illustrated using a two-wheeled vehicle as an example of the application environment for handlebar grips. However, it should be understood that this application environment is merely exemplary, and the handlebar grips 100 according to embodiments of this disclosure can also be applied to various other vehicles.
[0035] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a handlebar grip 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 The image shown is an exploded view of the handlebar grip 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the handlebar grip 100 described herein generally includes a mounting shaft 1, a first set of grips 2, a second set of grips 3, an end cap 5, a carrier 6, and a locking element 7.
[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, a first set of grippers 2 is connected to a mounting shaft 1 and arranged along the extension direction X of the mounting shaft 1. Each gripper in the first set of grippers 2 extends outward from the mounting shaft 1 along a first direction Y, and each gripper is deformable when gripped to move in a second direction Z opposite to the first direction Y. Correspondingly, a second set of grippers 3 is connected to the mounting shaft 1 and arranged along the extension direction X of the mounting shaft 1. Each gripper in the second set of grippers 3 extends outward from the mounting shaft 1 along a second direction Z, and each gripper is deformable when gripped to move in the first direction Y.
[0037] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, when holding the handlebar sleeve 100, the palm and fingers can apply force to the handlebar sleeve 100, the holding pieces in the first group 2 and the second group 3 that are in contact with the palm and fingers can be deformed and move towards the mounting shaft 1 to form grip marks, and the depth and shape of the grip marks can be changed according to different people, different palms, or different finger spacings, etc., to meet different use requirements.
[0038] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 , the holding pieces in the first group 2 can be arranged alternately with the holding pieces in the second group 3. In other embodiments, the pairs of holding pieces in the first group 2 can be arranged alternately with the pairs of holding pieces in the second group 3. In other embodiments, the pairs of holding pieces in the first group 2 can be arranged alternately with the holding pieces in the second group 3. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the first group 2 and the second group 3 of holding pieces can also be arranged in any other appropriate manner.
[0039] In the following, the handlebar sleeve 100 of the present disclosure will be exemplarily described mainly in the case where the holding pieces in the first group 2 are arranged alternately with the holding pieces in the second group 3, and the same applies to the above other cases, which will not be repeated here. It can be understood that in the case where the holding pieces in the first group 2 are arranged alternately with the holding pieces in the second group 3, the handlebar sleeve 100 is difficult to reset and is kept in the deformed state, which will be described in the following in combination with Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 .
[0040] Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of a holding piece according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of a holding piece along another perspective according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As Figures 2 to 4 shown, in some embodiments, each holding piece in the first group 2 and the second group 3 can include a connecting portion 41. The connecting portion 41 can include a first through hole 417 for the mounting shaft 1 to pass through, so that the mounting shaft 1 can pass through the first group 2 and the second group 3 of holding pieces. The connecting portion 41 of each holding piece in the first group 2 can be connected with the connecting portion 41 of the adjacent holding piece in the second group 3, whereby the first group 2 and the second group 3 of holding pieces form a stable structure in the extension direction X, avoiding the holding pieces from wobbling in the extension direction X.
[0041] In addition, in order to avoid the holding pieces from rotating when holding the handlebar sleeve 100 and affecting the use of the handlebar sleeve 100, with reference to Figures 2 to 4In some embodiments, the connecting portion 41 can further include a first surface 411, a second surface 412 disposed opposite to the first surface 411 in the extending direction X, at least one protrusion 413 disposed on the first surface 411, and at least one recess 414 disposed on the second surface 412. Thus, the at least one protrusion 413 can be disposed in the corresponding at least one recess 414, and the outer side surface of the protrusion 413 is in contact with the inner side surface of the corresponding recess 414 to prevent the corresponding handle in the first group of handles 2 and the corresponding handle in the second group of handles 3 from rotating relative to each other. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the handle can also adopt any other appropriate structure to avoid the handle from rotating when holding the handlebar sleeve 100.
[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the protrusion 413 can rotate in the corresponding recess 414, for example, the protrusion 413 can include a cylindrical protrusion, and thus in order to avoid the handle from rotating, the number of protrusions 413 and recesses 414 is not less than two, and the at least two protrusions 413 are spaced apart from each other. In other embodiments, the protrusion 413 can be limited by the corresponding recess 414 and cannot rotate in the corresponding recess 414, for example, the protrusion 413 can include a rectangular protrusion, and thus in order to avoid the handle from rotating, the number of protrusions 413 and recesses 414 can be one or more.
[0043] In order to allow the handle to deform to move towards the mounting shaft 1 when being gripped, Figure 5 The structural schematic diagrams of the handle before and after being stressed according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. As Figures 3 to 5 shown, in some embodiments, each handle in the first group of handles 2 and the second group of handles 3 can further include a contact portion 42 and a pair of deformable portions 43. The contact portion 42 is used to contact the palm and fingers and includes a contact surface 421, and the contact surface 421 can be located on the side of the corresponding contact portion 42 away from the mounting shaft 1. The deformable portion 43 can deform under stress. The connecting portion 41 can further include a first side surface 415 and a second side surface 416 disposed opposite to the first side surface 415. One of the pair of deformable portions 43 is disposed on the first side surface 415 and extends away from the connecting portion 41 to one end of the contact portion 42, and the other of the pair of deformable portions 43 is disposed on the second side surface 416 and extends away from the connecting portion 41 to the other end of the contact portion 42.
[0044] With the above configuration, in the case that the holding members in the first group 2 are gripped, the pairs of deformable portions 43 can deform so that the contact portions 42 can move towards the second direction Z, because the connecting portions 31 are penetrated by the mounting shaft 1 and are limited. Similarly, in the case that the holding members in the second group 3 are gripped, the pairs of deformable portions 43 can deform so that the contact portions 42 can move towards the first direction Y. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the holding members can adopt any other suitable structure to be able to deform and move towards the mounting shaft 1 in the case of being gripped.
[0045] The deformable portions 43 according to embodiments of the present disclosure can be made of any material that is easy to deform, which is not limited here, for example, soft rubber material, or the deformable portions 43 can also be made of hard rubber material, but the thickness of the deformable portions 43 should be limited. In addition, the contact portions 42 can be made of any material that is not easy to deform, which is not limited here, for example, hard rubber material.
[0046] The contact surfaces 421 according to embodiments of the present disclosure can include any suitable shape, which is not limited here, for example, in some embodiments, the contact surfaces 421 can include a circular arc surface.
[0047] Referring back to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pairs of end caps 5 each include a second through hole 51 for the mounting shaft 1 to penetrate, so that the mounting shaft 1 penetrates the pairs of end caps 5. The first group of holding members 2 and the second group of holding members 3 can be clamped between the pairs of end caps 5, so that the first group of holding members 2 and the second group of holding members 3 can be clamped by the pairs of end caps 5. One end of the mounting shaft 1 can be arranged on the carrier 6, and one end of the mounting shaft 1 can be locked by the locking member 7. With the above configuration, the mounting shaft 1, the first group of holding members 2, the second group of holding members 3, the end caps 5, the carrier 6 and the locking member 7 are stably connected together and form an integral structure.
[0048] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the carrier 6 can include a handlebar. In other embodiments, the carrier 6 can include an intermediate carrier mounted on the handlebar, so that the handlebar sleeve 100 is mounted on the handlebar through the carrier 6.
[0049] Figure 6 An enlarged schematic view of the first group of holding members 2 and the second group of holding members 3 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7 A structural schematic view of the handlebar sleeve 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown, in which the handlebar sleeve 100 is deformed under force. As Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, a first space 101 can be formed between the contact portions 42 of adjacent holding members in the first group of holding members 2 for accommodating corresponding holding members in the second group of holding members 3. A second space 102 can be formed between the contact portions 42 of adjacent holding members in the second group of holding members 3 for accommodating corresponding holding members in the first group of holding members 2.
[0050] With the above configuration, when the handlebar grip 100 is not subjected to external force or is not in use, the handlebar grip 100 assumes a fixed shape. When in use, the mounting shaft 1 and the locking member 7 are loosened, the palm and fingers grip the handlebar grip 100, and the stressed holding members can deform, and the deformed holding members can enter the first space 101 or the second space 102. More specifically, the contact portions 42 of the deformed holding members in the first group of holding members 2 can enter the second space 102, and the contact portions 42 of the deformed holding members in the second group of holding members 3 can enter the second space 102 to form a meshing structure. Finally, when the handlebar grip 100 assumes a grip mark conforming to the shape of the palm and fingers, the mounting shaft 1 and the locking member 7 are locked. Since the pair of end caps 5 are locked in the extension direction X, the pair of end caps 5 can press the contact portions 42 of the deformed holding members in the first group of holding members 2 and the contact portions 42 of the deformed holding members in the second group of holding members 3, so that the handlebar grip 100 is difficult to reset and is maintained in the deformed state, facilitating the user to operate the handlebar grip 100.
[0051] In addition, to ensure that the deformed holding members can enter the first space 101 or the second space 102, the pair of deformable portions 43 of each holding member in the first group of holding members 2 need to be adjacent to the pair of deformable portions 43 of each holding member in the second group of holding members 3. Figure 8 A structural schematic diagram of the first group of holding members 2 and the second group of holding members 3 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the first group of holding members 2 and the second group of holding members 3 are arranged in a staggered manner along the extension direction X. Figure 8 As shown, the projection of the pair of deformable portions 43 of each holding member in the first group of holding members 2 in the extension direction X can be spaced apart from the projection of the pair of deformable portions 43 of each holding member in the second group of holding members 3 in the extension direction X. That is, there is a gap between the first group of holding members 2 and the second group of holding members 3 along the extension direction X, and by setting the width of the gap to be smaller than the movement distance of the contact portions 42, the deformed holding members can enter the first space 101 or the second space 102.
[0052] In other embodiments, the projection of the pair of deformable portions 43 of each grip of the first set of grips 2 in the extension direction X can be adjacent to the projection of the pair of deformable portions 43 of each grip of the second set of grips 3 in the extension direction X; thus, the deformed grip can enter the first space 101 or the second space 102 as soon as the contact portion 42 starts to move. In other embodiments, the projection of the pair of deformable portions 43 of each grip of the first set of grips 2 in the extension direction X can partially overlap the projection of the pair of deformable portions 43 of each grip of the second set of grips 3 in the extension direction X; thus, the grip can be located in the first space 101 or the second space 102 even without the contact portion 42 moving.
[0053] To enable the mounting shaft 1 to be locked by the locking member 7, it is referred back to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the mounting shaft 1 is provided with a thread at an end adjacent to the locking member 7, and correspondingly, the locking member 7 can include a threaded groove. By the thread engagement, not only the mounting shaft 1 can be locked by the locking member 7, but also the mounting shaft 1 and the locking member 7 can be separated conveniently; in addition, the mounting shaft 1 and the locking member 7 are simple in structure, which is beneficial to reduce the cost. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the mounting shaft 1 and the locking member 7 can be assembled in any other appropriate manner to enable the mounting shaft 1 to be locked by the locking member 7.
[0054] Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a vehicle including any one of the handlebar wraps 100 as described above.
[0055] The above has described the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles, practical application, or technical improvement in the art, or to enable other ordinary skilled persons in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
