Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handlebar technology, and in particular to a brake lever switch holder with a shielding edge. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main design variations for brake levers and switch holders on the market. The first is a one-piece design, which reduces the number of connection points, thus minimizing the risk of loose connections. However, this one-piece design has the drawback that if any component fails, the entire unit needs to be replaced, significantly increasing replacement costs. Therefore, a separate design has emerged, allowing for separate production and assembly of the brake lever and switch holder. This improves production efficiency and allows for individual replacement of either the lever or the switch holder during maintenance, greatly reducing repair costs. Both the brake lever and switch holder are mounted on the handlebar stem. The switch holder typically has a through-hole that mates with the handlebar stem, while the brake lever has a circular part that mates with the handlebar stem. The brake lever structure is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the brake lever 2 includes a brake handle 21 and a brake lever ring 22 connected to the brake handle 21. The specific assembly process is as follows: First, the brake lever ring 22 is passed through the handlebar tube, installed in place, and tightened to fix the brake lever 2 on the handlebar tube; then, the switch seat is installed in the corresponding position on the handlebar tube to cooperate with the brake lever 2. However, in this split design, during assembly, because the outer diameter of the brake lever ring 22 is usually designed to be small, a relatively obvious step difference is easily generated between the brake lever ring 22 and the switch seat. This step difference is not aesthetically pleasing and may also affect operation. For users who pursue aesthetic details, they may be dissatisfied with this step difference. Moreover, the brake lever ring 22 is exposed to the outside for a long time and is easily washed by rainwater, which can easily cause the internal metal parts to rust and affect use. Therefore, it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a brake lever switch holder with a shielding eave. Its structure is simple and reasonable, and it is easy to operate. Through the covering design of the shielding eave, the visual gap between the switch holder body and the brake lever ring is eliminated, improving the aesthetics of the appearance. In this way, when the rider is riding, there will no longer be obvious step differences in the line of sight, making the overall visual effect more coherent and harmonious. In addition, the shielding eave can prevent rainwater from directly washing over the brake lever ring, which can effectively extend its service life.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The present invention discloses a brake lever switch holder with a shielding eave, comprising a switch holder body having a first through hole for the handlebar to pass through, and a shielding eave on the side of the switch holder body near the brake lever ring portion. The shielding eave extends toward the brake lever ring portion and extends continuously along the front and upper side edges of the switch holder body to form a shielding area. The brake lever ring portion is hidden within the shielding area, and the end of the shielding eave extends beyond the brake lever ring portion.

[0006] Furthermore, the end of the shielding eaves located on the upper side edge of the switch body is bent inward to form an arc surface.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall shape of the shield is adapted to the outer wall shape of the brake lever ring.

[0008] Furthermore, a gap is formed between the inner wall of the shield and the outer wall of the brake lever ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the shielding eaves are integrally formed with the switch base body.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the eaves is provided with a first clearance notch.

[0011] Furthermore, a second clearance notch is provided on the outer rear wall of the switch body.

[0012] Furthermore, the switch base body is also provided with several switch buttons.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The brake lever switch seat with a shielding eaves described in this utility model includes a switch seat body, on which a shielding eaves corresponding to and cooperating with the brake lever ring portion are provided. The shielding eaves extend continuously along the front side edge and the upper side edge of the switch seat body to form a shielding area. The brake lever ring portion is hidden within the shielding area. The end of the shielding eaves extends beyond the brake lever ring portion. Through the covering design of the shielding eaves, the visual discontinuity between the switch seat body and the brake lever ring portion is eliminated, improving the aesthetics of the appearance. In this way, when the rider is riding, there will be no obvious step difference in the line of sight, making the overall visual effect more coherent and harmonious. The end of the shielding eaves located on the upper side edge of the switch seat body is bent inward to form an arc surface. The arc surface can guide rainwater or foreign objects to slide down along the end of the shielding eaves, preventing rainwater from washing away the brake lever ring portion and effectively extending the service life.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 The brake lever switch holder shown includes a switch holder body 1, which has a first through hole 11 for the handlebar to pass through, and a shield 12 that corresponds to and cooperates with the circular part 22 of the brake lever. Specifically, see [reference needed]. Figure 6 The brake lever 2 includes a brake handle 21 and a brake lever ring portion 22 connected to the brake handle 21. The brake lever ring portion 22 has a second through hole at its center for the handlebar to pass through. When installed separately, the brake lever 2 and the switch holder need to be installed sequentially. First, the brake lever ring portion 22 is passed through the handlebar tube and tightened after installation to fix the brake lever 2 to the handlebar tube. Then, the switch holder is installed at the corresponding position on the handlebar tube to abut against the brake lever 2. The switch holder body 1 has a shield 12 on one side near the brake lever ring portion 22. The shield 12 extends along a portion of the side edge of the switch holder body 1 towards the brake lever ring portion 22. Specifically, refer to... Figures 2-3 The shielding rim 12 extends continuously along the front and upper side edges of the switch base body 1, forming a shielding area. The brake lever ring portion 22 is hidden within the shielding area. (See reference...) Figure 4 The end of the obstruction 12 extends beyond the brake lever ring portion 22. The covering design of the obstruction 12 eliminates the visual break between the switch body 1 and the brake lever ring portion 22, improving the aesthetics. Therefore, see... Figure 5When the rider is riding, there will be no obvious step difference in the line of sight, so that the overall visual effect is more coherent and coordinated. Preferably, in this embodiment, the end of the shield 12 located on the upper side edge of the switch body 1 is bent inward to form an arc surface 121. The arc surface 121 can guide rainwater or foreign objects to slide down along the end of the shield 12, avoiding rainwater from washing the brake lever ring 22, and can effectively extend the service life.

[0023] See Figure 5 In this embodiment, the front end refers to the end facing the rider. The rear edge of the switch body 1 does not have the shield 12, and the brake lever 2's brake handle 21 is positioned facing the rear end of the switch body 1.

[0024] Preferably, in this embodiment, a gap is formed between the inner wall of the shield 12 and the outer wall of the brake lever ring 22, which ensures that there will be no unnecessary friction or wear due to close contact between the two, and also provides convenience for installation and maintenance.

[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, the shielding eaves 12 are integrally formed with the switch base body 1, which makes the structure more stable, simplifies the manufacturing process, and improves the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figures 2-3 The inner wall of the shield 12 is provided with a first clearance notch 13. Preferably, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the rear end of the switch body 1 is provided with a second clearance notch 14. By providing the first clearance notch 13 and the second clearance notch 14, the switch body can be adapted to more models of brake levers 2. Specifically, some specific models of brake levers 2 are designed with protrusions or stepped structures. In order to effectively avoid unnecessary interference or friction between these protrusions or steps and the switch body 1, the first clearance notch 13 and the second clearance notch 14 are reserved, which effectively improves the versatility of the switch body.

[0027] Preferably, the inner wall shape of the shield 12 is adapted to the outer wall shape of the brake lever ring 22, so that the shield 12 can better fit with the brake lever ring 22.

[0028] Preferably, see Figure 1 The switch body 1 is also provided with several switch buttons 15, each switch button 15 performs different functions, such as turn signals, horns, etc. Through these switch buttons 15, users can easily achieve control.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
