TECHNOLOGY AREA
[0001] The utility model relates to bicycle technology, in particular to handlebar bag-specific magnetic closure buckles. BACKGROUND
[0002] A handlebar bag is a portable device for carrying goods, attached to the front of the bicycle (above the handlebars, crossbar, or fork), offering advantages such as convenient access, easy mounting, and optimal protection. With a typical capacity of 1 to 5 liters, a handlebar bag is suitable for daily commuting or short trips and can provide storage space for essential items like mobile phones, keys, repair tools, and energy bars. Handlebar bags are made of waterproof, abrasion-resistant material and some feature waterproof zippers to effectively repel rain and dust.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLES OF EXECUTION
[0016] The specific embodiments of the utility model are explained below, with the preferred embodiments illustrated by the accompanying drawings. The figures serve to supplement the textual description of the specifications with graphical representations, enabling an intuitive and visual understanding of the individual technical features and the technical solution of the utility model. The drawings are simplified and use imprecise scales to provide a clear and concise representation of the embodiments of the utility model and therefore do not constitute a limitation of the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0017] As from Fig. 1 to Fig.As shown in Figure 5, the present utility model represents a handlebar bag-specific magnetic closure buckle, comprising a connecting tab 1 and a front arm support 2, with the attachment to the handlebar bag being effected by the connecting tab 1. The upper surfaces of both sides of the front arm support 2, facing away from one end of the connecting tab 1, are each articulated to an upper arm 3. Between the two sides of the front arm support 2 and each of the two upper arms 3 facing away from the connecting tab 1, a hinge bore is formed, on the inner wall of each of these bores two TPR spring washers 15 with an opening, the end of which facing away from the connecting tab 1 being formed with a screw hole. The front arm support 2 can be screwed to the bicycle handlebars.
[0018] A support rod seat 6 is attached to each of the undersides of the front armrest 2, which face away from one end of the connecting tab 1. The underside of the front armrest 2 is also flexibly connected via the support rod seat 6 to a support rod 13, which is strapped to the front fork for support. The two support rod seats 6 are screwed to the two sides of the support rod 13, with a pinion gear inserted between each end of the support rod 13 and the coupling side of the support rod seat 6. After the angle is adjusted, the position is fixed by tightening the screw, causing the pinions to engage with each other.
[0019] The central point of the connecting tab 1 is formed with several first magnetic grooves 8, while the front arm support 2 is formed with several second magnetic grooves 9 on its inner surface complementary to the first magnetic grooves 8. Several magnets with opposite poles are inserted between the inner surfaces of the several first magnetic grooves 8 and the second magnetic grooves 9. For fastening, it adheres directly by magnetic force.
[0020] The underside of the connecting tab 1 is formed with two locking guide grooves 10, while a slidingly movable locking pressure plate 4 is attached to the end of the inside of the front armrest 2 adjacent to the connecting tab 1. The front armrest 2 is fixedly connected to a back cap 5 on the outside of the locking pressure plate 4, with a locking clip 7 being attached to each of the two upper surfaces that correspond to the position of the locking guide groove 10, as well as to the lower center point of the locking pressure plate 4. A projection is formed on the middle underside of the connecting tab 1, which corresponds to the locking clip 7. A pressure plate button 11 is provided at the upper center point of the locking pressure plate 4. The center point of the locking pressure plate 4 is formed with a spring groove 12, at the upper center point of which a stop spring rod 14 is attached.A detent spring, passing through the spring groove 12 and the stop spring rod 14, is attached to the center of the detentable pressure plate 4. For fastening, the three locking clips 7 engage with the corresponding detentable guide groove 10 and the projection due to a magnetic attraction that overcomes the spring force. To remove the plate, the pressure plate button 11 must be pressed, which releases the locking mechanism. With reference to a second embodiment
[0021] Furthermore, a second embodiment is provided, which differs from the first embodiment as follows: a dowel pin bore 17 is formed between the connecting tab 1 and one end of the front armrest 2 adjacent to the pressure plate button 11, a silicone guide pin 16 is attached to the inside of this bore, and a connecting strut is attached to the rear end of the silicone guide pin 16, with a screw sleeve attached to the end of this connecting strut facing away from the silicone guide pin 16. Connecting the screw sleeve to the fastening screw of the back cap 5 provides protection against potential loss. For long-term use, any potential detachment of the locking buckle by the silicone guide pin 16 can be directly locked, which enables stable operation, but results in higher operating costs.
[0022] The operating principle is as follows: The magnetic grooves formed between the connecting tab 1 and the front armrest 2, in conjunction with the locking pressure plate 4 and the locking guide groove 10, allow the three locking clips 7 to engage with the corresponding locking guide groove 10 and the projection for fixation due to a magnetic attraction that overcomes the spring force. To disassemble, the pressure plate button 11 is pressed, releasing the locking mechanism. Thanks to the efficient combination of the magnetic fastening technology and the quick-release mechanism, rapid locking and unlocking are possible, ensuring good practicality.
[0023] It should be noted that the embodiment according to the invention is not limited to the present exemplary embodiments, but can be varied in many ways within the scope of the disclosure. In this context, all new individual and combination features disclosed in the description and / or drawings are considered essential to the invention.
