Locking-bar type handle lock

Abstract

To eliminate the protrusion of a handle bar that occupies a large parking width while avoiding unlocking when a bicycle is parked, and to make a parking space efficient.SOLUTION: A lamp portion that conventionally attached to a handle post is decoupled, and is formed in a male-female shape that can be engaged with each other as a handle clamp 1 and a handle post 2. After a locking bar is fitted therein, the handle clamp 1 and the handle post 2 are engaged with each other and fastened with each other. As for locking, when a key is pulled, the locking bar is pulled up, and the handle post 2 and the handle clamp 1 are separated from each other. Further, when the handle clamp 1 is rotated to the left side by 90 degrees, the handle clamp 1 is fastened at this position, and becomes un-operable for steering. Conversely, when unlocking, the fastening of the handle clamp 1 is canceled by inserting the key, and when the key is inserted at a position where such a clamp turns to the right and stops, the locking bar is fitted in a groove of the handle post 2, and thus the handle post 2 and the handle clamp 1 are coupled to each other and those become operable for steering. Eventually, a key lid is closed so as to prevent the key from falling down.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle lock, which facilitates locking and unlocking even in a narrow or dark place, prevents forgetting the key, and makes it easy to lock the bicycle even in a narrow place.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a general bicycle is configured such that a handlebar is fixed to a handle clamp portion attached to a handle post, and the bicycle can be steered around a handle tube as an axis.

[0003] Also, in most cases, the installation position of many locks is around under the saddle.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Therefore, when locking the bicycle in a narrow place, the lock is located around under the saddle, and one has to insert an arm to open and close it. Also, in a dark place, one cannot find the position of the keyhole and has to search blindly.

[0006] Also, in bicycle locking, the handlebar takes up the most width. When trying to lock the bicycle in a two-tiered bicycle parking lot such as a station, the handlebars get stuck together, causing difficulties.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the clamp part that fixes the handlebar attached to the conventional handle post is separated, and the handle clamp side is made female and the handle post side is made male so that they can be fitted together. Grooves into which bolts can be inserted are provided on both inner sides, and bolts are inserted into them. A key is inserted through the keyhole at the top of the handle clamp, and the bolts are moved up and down by inserting and removing the key to connect and separate the handle post part and the handle clamp part.

Advantages of the Invention

[0008] Since the insertion and removal of the key is at the top of the handle clamp part, it can be easily done even in a narrow or dark place, thus eliminating the possibility of forgetting to lock.

[0009] The bolt-type handle lock is such that when the key is inserted (unlocked), the handle post and the handle clamp are joined, and when the key is removed (locked), they are separated, so that steering becomes impossible and only the handlebar can rotate, greatly reducing the space when parking the vehicle.

[0010] The structure is simple, and since there is a key and a key cover, it is safe as it will not fall out during driving.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views during use, FIG. 3 is a component deployment view, FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 are cross-sectional views. The handle clamp (1) in FIG. 3 is drawn as two components for the sake of explanation, but in reality, it is one piece.

[0013] The method of fixing the handle post to the head tube and the method of fixing the handlebar to the handle clamp are the same as those in the prior art.

[0014] Separate the handle clamp part attached to the conventional handle post, and make the shape such that the handle clamp side can be fitted with the female handle clamp (1) and the handle post side can be fitted with the male handle post (2). Provide grooves for the latch to enter, an upper latch groove (13) and a lower latch groove (22) on their inner sides. After inserting the latch (3) into them, fit the handle clamp (1) onto the handle post (2), cover it with the connecting cover (6), and fix it with the bolt with a cap (24). Then, attach the key cover (14) to the handle clamp (1) with a rod (15). Finally, insert the handlebar (5) and fix it with a bolt (15).

[0015] When locking, open the key cover (14) upwards, pull up the key (4), pull out the latch from the lower latch groove (22) and stop at a certain position, then pull it back and rotate it slightly to the right and pull it upwards. At this time, the latch (3) rides on the latch shelf (12), and at the same time, the pressing rod (31) falls by its own weight, and the movement of the latch (3) in the front and back directions is fixed, and the handle clamp (1) is separated from the handle post (2) and cannot be steered. Furthermore, when the handlebar (5) is rotated 90 degrees to the left, the pressing rod (31) slides on the lifting stud (21) with an inclination, and when it passes over the lifting stud (21), it falls by its own weight and completely fixes the handlebar (5).

[0016] When unlocking, open the key cover (14) upwards, insert the key (4) into the keyhole (11), rotate it slightly to the left until it stops and then insert it further. The pressing bar (31) will be pushed in by the key (4) and rise. When the pressing bar (31) rises, the handle clamp (1) can be rotated. When rotated to the right until it stops, the upper latch groove (13) and the lower latch groove (22) will overlap. When the key (4) is inserted further, the latch (3) will fit into the lower latch groove (22) of the handle post (2), and the handle post (2) and the handle clamp (1) will be connected, enabling steering. Also, the insertion of the key (4) is restricted by closing the key cover (14), making it easy to operate and preventing the key (4) from falling out.

[0017] Rotate the handlebar (5) 90 degrees to the left. When the handlebar (5) is fixed, the claw (32) of the latch (3) will enter under the cap of the bolt with a cap (24) to prevent the bolt from being pulled out.
