Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a rotating mounting structure for a motorcycle thermal glove that is fitted onto the handlebars of a motorcycle to protect and keep warm the hands gripping the handlebars when riding a motorcycle in winter. More specifically, the invention relates to a rotating mounting structure for a motorcycle thermal glove that allows the gloves to rotate and move naturally when a hand is inserted to grip the handlebars or removed from the gloves, thereby making the use of the gloves convenient and extending their lifespan by preventing wear and tear on the gloves through contact with the arms when inserting and removing the hands. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, when riding a motorcycle in winter, the hands gripping the handlebars are directly exposed to the outside air. Furthermore, since the hands become very cold due to the wind while riding and there is a risk of frostbite when the temperature is low, thermal gloves are attached to the handlebars to protect the hands from the cold.

[0003] These thermal gloves are intended simply to cover the hands to keep them warm from the cold while driving. Moving beyond the glove type that only accommodates the steering wheel and brake lever, a thermal glove that simultaneously accommodates the driver's hands as well as various control parts installed on the steering wheel, such as lights, horns, and start buttons, has been registered and disclosed as Utility Model Registration No. 20-0495348. Additionally, an invention devised by the present applicant, which allows for the separate accommodation of the steering wheel, brake lever, and control parts and enables fixing to the end of the steering wheel by means of a support member, has been registered and disclosed as Patent No. 2287056.

[0004] In the case of such thermal gloves, the former is designed to be installed by attaching the gloves to the motorcycle handlebars and securing the ends with straps. Since the gloves are not fixed in the correct position and their position changes freely, they are inconvenient to use as the position must be adjusted every time the hand is put in and taken out to grip the handlebars. In particular, when riding out of the correct position, a large gap occurs between the gloves and the hand, leading to a problem of outside air entering.

[0005] In addition, the latter resolves the problem of the former by fixing a support installed on the inner wall of the winter glove to the end of the handle so that the winter glove does not move up and down.

[0006] However, the aforementioned prior art invention had a problem in that the gloves were fixed to the end of the handle by a support member and were not moving, so when inserting and removing the hands through the hand opening of the gloves, which is formed such that the handle opening and the hand opening are nearly perpendicular, the arms naturally spread outward rather than inward due to the ergonomic structure, and the arms frequently came into contact with the outer inner surface of the hand opening, causing a force to spread outward, which easily caused wear on this part and shortened its lifespan. The problem to be solved

[0007] The objective of the present invention is to solve such problems by providing a rotating mounting structure for a motorcycle winter glove that simplifies the use of the winter glove and extends its lifespan by reducing wear on the glove, thereby configuring the glove to rotate naturally inward by the frictional load applied when inserting or removing a hand from the glove, while fixing the winter glove to the handle handle by means of a support device and installing a rotating structure so that the glove automatically returns to its original position when the hand is removed from the glove. means of solving the problem

[0008] The present invention, as a means to achieve the above objective, comprises a thermal glove for a motorcycle made of a fabric material having thermal insulation, flexibility, and cushioning properties, having a main body having a space and size capable of accommodating a motorcycle's brake lever, operating switch, handle grip, and driver's hand, wherein a handle insertion opening and a hand insertion opening into which the driver's hand is inserted are respectively opened in orthogonal directions, and a tightening cover sealed to the inner circumference of the handle insertion opening;

[0009] The present invention provides a rotating support device for rotatably mounting the outer surface of the main body of a thermal glove located on the extension line of the above-mentioned handle handle to the handle handle; wherein the rotating support device comprises: one or more rubber blocks inserted into the inner hole of the handle handle; a fixing cap attached to the entrance of the handle handle and coupled to the tip of the rubber block; a tightening bolt and nut that penetrate the center of the fixing cap and the rubber block and fix the fixing cap and the rubber block to the hole of the handle handle by the expansion of the outer diameter caused by compression of the rubber block; a support member having a rotating body, one side of which is coupled to the fixing cap and the other side which is axially mounted by a hinge pin to rotate by external force only to one side open at a horizontally recessed cut-out inside, and which is elastically installed by a spring so as to return to the original position when the external force is lost in the rotated state; and a cap bolt that penetrates the thermal glove and is screw-coupled to the rotating body.

[0017] In addition, the support member is characterized by being joined to a fixing cap and a piece or screw.

[0018] In addition, the rotating body is characterized by rotating only in the upward direction of the handle and not rotating in the downward direction. Effects of the invention

[0019] According to the present invention, the thermal gloves are naturally rotated inwardly by means of a rotating support device installed in the support member when using the gloves, thereby reducing the frictional load on the gloves when putting in and taking out the hand, which reduces wear and tear and extends the lifespan. Additionally, the gloves are always kept in the correct position by means of an elastic means, making them convenient to use, and there is no gap between the gloves and the arm, which prevents cold air from entering.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the rotational mounting structure of the thermal gloves for a motorcycle according to the present invention comprises a thermal gloves (100) for a motorcycle made of a fabric material having thermal insulation, flexibility, and cushioning properties, having a main body (40) having a space and size capable of accommodating a brake lever (10) of a motorcycle, an operating switch (20), a handle handle (30), and a driver's hand, wherein a handle insertion opening (50) and a hand insertion opening (60) into which the driver's hand is inserted are respectively opened in an orthogonal direction, and a tightening cover (70) attached to the inner circumference of the handle insertion opening (50);

[0027] A rotating support device (200) for rotatably mounting the above-mentioned cold-weather gloves (100) to a handle handle (30); comprising

[0028] The above-mentioned rotary support device (200) comprises one or more rubber blocks (210) inserted into the inner hole (31) of the handle handle (30);

[0029] A fixing cap (220) attached to the entrance of the handle (30) and coupled to the tip of the rubber block (210);

[0030] A tightening bolt (211) and a nut (212) that penetrate the center of the fixing cap (220) and the rubber block (210) and fix the fixing cap (220) and the rubber block (210) to the hole of the handle handle (30) by expanding the outer diameter due to compression of the rubber block (210);

[0031] A support member (230) having a rotating body (240) that is elastically installed by a spring (235) such that it is rotated by an external force only toward one side open from a horizontally recessed cutout (233) inside the other side, and returns to its original position when the external force is lost while in a rotated state;

[0032] It consists of a cap bolt (250) that penetrates the thermal gloves (100) and is screw-coupled to the rotating body (240).

[0033] As shown in FIG. 2, the thermal gloves (100) of the present invention are inserted so that the operating parts, such as the brake lever and operating switch of a motorcycle, and the handle handle (30) are received through the handle insertion opening (50). When the cap bolt (250) that penetrates the main body (40) of the thermal gloves (100) is screw-coupled to the rotating body (240) of the rotating support device (200) while the rotating support device (200) is fastened to the inner hole (31) of the handle handle (30), the thermal gloves (100) are coupled to the handle handle (30) so that they can only rotate upward through the rotating support device (200). The right hand thermal gloves (100) are installed so that they rotate counterclockwise and the left hand thermal gloves (100) rotate clockwise.

[0034] First, to explain the installation sequence of the rotating support device (200) connected to the thermal gloves (100), the thermal gloves (100) are installed on the handle handle (30) as described above, and the handle handle (30) is tilted upward to expose the handle handle (30). Then, the rubber cap separated from the support member (230) in the rotating support device (200) is combined with one or more rubber blocks (210), and the tightening bolt (211) is passed through the rubber cap. The rubber block (210) is then inserted into the inner hole (31) of the handle handle (30) while the nut (212) that is in close contact with the rubber block (210) is screwed in. Finally, the fixing cap (220) is attached to the entrance of the handle handle (30). When the tightening force of the tightening bolt (211) is strengthened, the rubber block (210) is compressed and its outer diameter expands, thereby strongly [attaching] the inner surface of the hole of the handle handle (30). It is fixed as a single unit by pressure welding.

[0035] Here, the rubber block (210) may be composed of a single unit, but it is preferable to divide it into multiple parts so that they expand individually and increase the compression force more strongly, and the nut (212) can be installed by inserting it into the inner bottom of the rubber block.

[0036] Next, the support member (230) with the cap bolt (250) removed is fixed with a piece (232) in a state where the engagement groove (231) on one side engages with the tightening cap, and the open part of the cut section (233) is fixed so that it faces upward in a horizontal position, and the support member (230) with the rotating body (240) installed is firmly connected to the handle (30) through the fixing cap (220).

[0037] In this state, when the thermal gloves (100) are lowered to their original installation position and screwed into the rotating body (240) while penetrating the main body (40) of the thermal gloves (100), the thermal gloves (100) are fixedly installed as a single unit with the handle handle (30), and the hand insertion opening (60), which is approximately perpendicular to the handle insertion opening (50), is opened toward the driver. When the driver puts their hand in through this opening and grasps the handle handle (30), the driver's hand is kept warm from the cold wind by the thermal gloves (100) while driving.

[0038] Since the thermal gloves (100) are installed on both sides of the handlebars (30) of the motorcycle, the driver's hands frequently enter and exit the gloves while riding or getting on and off the motorcycle. During this process of entry and exit, the hands naturally apply a frictional load to the outer part of the thermal gloves (100) due to the structure of the arms. In the rotating support device (200) that fixes the thermal gloves (100) to the handlebars (30), a rotating body (240) hinged to the support member (230) is installed so that it can rotate in a plane only to one side that is open. Therefore, when a frictional load is generated on the outer part during the process of putting the hands inside or taking them out of the thermal gloves (100), the thermal gloves (100) are naturally rotated in the upward direction within the range of the cut-out section (233) by the rotating body (240) of the rotating support device (200), thereby reducing the frictional force applied to the thermal gloves (100).

[0039] That is, the rotating body (240) of the rotating support device (200) is fitted into the cut-out portion (233) of the support member (230) and hinged with a hinge pin (234), so it can rotate horizontally around the hinge pin (234) as an axis. Since the rotating body (240) is fixed to the outer surface of the main body (40) of the thermal gloves (100) by a cap bolt (250), when force is applied to the outer part during the process of the driver's hand entering or exiting the thermal gloves (100), the thermal gloves (100) naturally rotate by a certain angle within the opening range of the cut-out portion (233) as shown in FIG. 6 through the rotational operation of the rotating body (240), thereby reducing the friction load.

[0040] Therefore, when the thermal gloves (100) are simply fixed to the support member (230) as in the prior patent, the thermal gloves (100) do not rotate, so the outer part of the thermal gloves (100) is easily worn out due to friction with the hand entering and exiting, which has the problem of a short lifespan. However, in the case of the present invention, the thermal gloves (100) rotate in the direction in which an external force acts due to the rotation of the rotating body (240), so no frictional load is generated, which reduces the wear of the thermal gloves (100) and has the advantage of a longer lifespan.

[0041] Since such a rotating body (240) is an elastic member such as the spring (235) shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and is elastically installed so as to always be positioned coaxially with the handle (30), when the rotating body (240) rotates, a force is applied to reverse the rotation and return it to its original position. Consequently, when an external force is applied to the insulated gloves (100) due to the entry or exit of a hand, or when a force is applied while holding the handle (30), the gloves are rotated at a certain angle or remain in a rotated state. However, when the external force applied for rotation is lost, the rotating body (240) immediately reverses to its original position and returns the insulated gloves (100) to its original position. Therefore, when the driver's hand is not inserted, the insulated gloves (100) always remain in the correct position, making it convenient to use.

[0042] Here, the cutout (233) of the support member (230) has an opening positioned in the upward direction, so that the rotating body (240) rotates within the opening range of the cutout (233), and thus does not rotate in the downward direction, i.e., toward the driver, thereby preventing the risk of the cold-weather gloves (100) unintentionally operating the brake lever.

[0043] The foregoing description is merely an illustrative explanation of the technical concept of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to make various modifications, changes, and substitutions within the scope of the essential characteristics of the present invention. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention and the accompanying drawings are intended to explain, not limit, the technical concept of the present invention, and the scope of the technical concept of the present invention is not limited by such embodiments and accompanying drawings.
