Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bicycle seat backrests, and more particularly to an adjustable backrest device. [Background technology]
[0002] Current motorcycles, electric bicycles, and bicycles lack a backrest behind the seat, leaving the rider with no support for their back, forcing them to maintain a slightly bent posture at all times. Long rides leave the muscles and nerves unable to relax, resulting in extreme fatigue. While some motorcycles and electric bicycles have a low rear fixing ring, the height and angle cannot be adjusted, and the long seat makes it difficult to lean directly against it. When carrying children behind the rider, accidents involving children falling to the ground at high speeds, especially during acceleration, are common and extremely dangerous. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a backrest that can be adjusted in height and angle and can provide tailored support for the lower back and back.

A second central shaft 62 is passed through the centers of the outer cover 61, the stand 72, the arm support leg 4123, and the button support ring 64 and fixed by a fastening member 9. The stand 72 is fixed to the connecting plate 71, and a gap is provided between the bottom of the arm support leg 4123 and the upper surface of the connecting plate 71, and the arm support leg 4123 is fixed to the lock rod 63. When the arm structure 4 is pushed by hand, the arm support leg 4123 rotates around the second central axis 62, driving the locking rod 63 to move through the three locking angle holes 721 and the second passage 722 of the stand 72. The locking stopper head 631 on the locking rod 63 is positioned in the through hole 611 in the outer cover 61, and the cylindrical neck 632 moves along the locking angle holes 721 and the second passage 722.
