Description

Bicycle hiking auxiliary handle

[0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle, and more specifically, to a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle that enables riding a bicycle while maintaining an upright posture on a flat or gently sloping surface and enjoying the surrounding scenery in a healthy and comfortable manner, thereby maximizing the effect of bicycle hiking.

[0002] Many hiking bike paths have been built in modern urban areas, allowing for long, flat hikes. However, most bikes are designed to require riders to bend forward, which can be physically taxing and tiring. This can put pressure on the perineum, leading to hunched backs and a turtle neck, and other health risks.

[0003] Additionally, when cycling, you bend down and lean forward, which limits your field of vision. This means you have to look up or tilt your head to see the surroundings while riding, which is inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, there is a desperate need for an auxiliary handle that helps hikers maintain a healthy and comfortable hike while keeping their upper body upright and having an open and cool view ahead.

[0005] The technical challenge that this invention seeks to solve is to provide a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle that can maximize the effect of bicycle hiking.

[0006] Another technical challenge that the present invention seeks to address is to provide a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle that can widen the limited field of view resulting from a bicycle riding posture.

[0007] Another technical challenge that the present invention seeks to solve is to provide a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle that can alleviate physical fatigue caused by long-term bicycle riding.

[0008] The technical problems that the present invention seeks to solve are not limited to those described above.

[0009] To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle.

[0010] According to an embodiment, the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle may include a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle mounted on each of the handle bars on both sides of a bicycle, wherein when a rider who rides a bicycle in a basic riding mode in which the waist is bent forward while holding the handle bars of the bicycle is selected and held instead of the handle bars, the handle portion provides the rider with a healthy riding mode in which the waist is straightened, the neck is stretched, and perineum pressure is reduced; and a coupling portion connected to one end of the longitudinal direction of the handle portion and coupling the handle portion to the handle bar so as to allow rotation of the handle portion about the handle bar as an axis, thereby enabling a transition from the basic riding mode to the healthy riding mode.

[0011] According to one embodiment, the coupling part includes: a rotational shaft member providing a rotational shaft to which the handle part is axially coupled, the rotational shaft member having a first through hole formed longitudinally on the inside thereof; a fastening pin member including a pin rod penetrating the first through hole and a pin head provided at one longitudinal end of the pin rod and in close contact with the rotational shaft to restrict axial movement of the handle part; a close fixing member coupled to a longitudinal rear end of the rotational shaft member with respect to a direction facing the fastening pin member, the second through hole having a relatively larger diameter than the first through hole and having a longitudinal direction formed on the inside thereof, the close fixing member being in close contact with an inner diameter surface of the handle bar; and a terminal member coupled to a longitudinal rear end of the close fixing member and being screw-connected with the pin rod that sequentially passes through the rotational shaft member and the close fixing member, wherein the close fixing member includes: a first close fixing member extending in one direction but having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the handle bar, and having a longitudinal rear end formed as a first inclined surface; And a second close-fitting fixing member having an outer diameter that is smaller than the inner diameter of the handle bar and extending in one direction, and a longitudinal end provided as a second inclined surface that is in close contact with the first inclined surface, wherein the first close-fitting fixing member and the second close-fitting fixing member can be deformed into a form that is misaligned from the alignment line through relative slip that occurs between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface that are in close contact with each other when the fastening pin member is screw-connected to the end member, and can be in close contact with the inner diameter side of the handle bar.

[0012] According to another embodiment, the coupling part includes a rotary shaft member that provides a rotary shaft to which the handle part is axially coupled, and has a longitudinal fastening groove formed on the inside thereof; and a fastening pin member that is fastened to the fastening groove and is in close contact with the rotary shaft to restrict axial movement of the handle part, wherein the rotary shaft member includes a rotary shaft support member provided at a longitudinal rear end of the rotary shaft with respect to a direction facing the fastening pin member; and a fastening ring part provided at a rear end of the rotary shaft support part and fastened to the handle bar, wherein the fastening ring part includes a first fastening ring that has a semicircular cross-section and has a first wing part at one longitudinal end; And the cross-section is provided in a semicircular shape, and the first fastening ring is hinge-connected to the first fastening ring so that the circle formed by the first fastening ring can be opened and closed, and the second fastening ring has a second wing portion at one end in the longitudinal direction, and when wrapping around the circumference of the handle bar through rotation of at least one of the first fastening ring and the second fastening ring, the first wing portion and the second wing portion that overlap each other can be bolt-connected.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle mounted on each of the handle bars of a bicycle may include a handle portion that, when selected and held instead of the handle bar by a rider who rides a bicycle in a basic riding mode in which the waist is bent forward while holding the handle bar of the bicycle, provides the rider with a healthy riding mode in which the waist is straightened, the neck is stretched, and perineum pressure is reduced; and a coupling portion that is connected to one end of the longitudinal direction of the handle portion and couples the handle portion to the handle bar so as to allow rotation of the handle portion about the handle bar as an axis, thereby enabling a transition from the basic riding mode to the healthy riding mode.

[0014] Accordingly, a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle can be provided that can maximize the bicycle hiking effect.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is expected to solve two problems with existing bicycles. First, the need to bend the upper body while riding even on flat or gently sloping roads can strain the body, thereby alleviating fatigue and resulting health problems. Second, the inconvenience of having to raise one's head or open one's eyes due to the limited field of view when bending the upper body to view the surrounding scenery can be resolved.

[0016] With movement restrictions due to COVID-19, many health concerns have arisen, and outdoor exercise, especially cycling and hiking, has been severely restricted, leaving most bicycles abandoned around homes.

[0017] However, as we emerge from COVID-19, many people will likely return to outdoor exercise, with increased cycling and hiking. The increasing number of bike paths being built in urban areas will further boost cycling and hiking.

[0018] If parents who are concerned about their children's health and people who are concerned about the health of the elderly realize that the problems of existing bicycles, namely the posture that puts a strain on the body, cause various health problems, the demand for the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle of the present invention that solves these problems is expected to increase explosively.

[0036]

[0037] As illustrated in Fig. 1, the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be mounted on each of the handle bars (31) provided on both sides of the front frame of the bicycle (30). At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, either of the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) and the handle bar (31) can be selected by the rider, thereby switching the driving mode.

[0038] Here, the handlebar (31) can provide a basic driving mode. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the basic driving mode can be defined as a mode in which a rider rides a bicycle (30) by sitting on the saddle of the bicycle (30) and turning the pedals while holding the handlebars (31) on both sides with both hands and controlling the driving direction.

[0039] In the above-mentioned basic riding mode, the rider's waist is bent forward. Therefore, riding a bicycle (30) in this basic riding mode for a long period of time can cause physical strain and fatigue. If the basic riding mode is continued during every bicycle hike, the rider's waist and back will be bent, the neck will become turtle-like, and the perineum will be compressed, which can have a negative impact on health.

[0040] Additionally, in the basic driving mode, the waist and head are bent forward, which limits the field of view of the surrounding scenery, so there is an inconvenience of having to open your eyes or raise your head to see the surrounding scenery while driving.

[0041] A bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can alleviate the feeling of strain and fatigue that occurs when riding a bicycle (30) for a long time, and maximize the hiking effect by widening the limited field of view according to the basic riding mode.

[0042]

[0043] Referring to FIG. 2, for this purpose, a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be formed including a handle portion (100) and a connecting portion (200).

[0044]

[0045] The above handle portion (100) can be connected to the handle bar (31) of the bicycle (30) through the above connecting portion (200). At this time, the handle portion (100) can be connected to the handle bar (31) so as to be rotatable around the handle bar (31).

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the handle part (100) is selected and held instead of the handle bar (31) by a rider (see the left image of FIG. 8) riding a bicycle (30) in the basic riding mode in which the rider holds the handle bar (31) of the bicycle (30) and the waist is bent forward, the rider can provide a healthy riding mode in which the waist is straightened, the neck is stretched, and the pressure on the perineum is reduced (see the right image of FIG. 8).

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, for this purpose, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the handle portion (100) may be formed to include a handle rod (110), a handle ring (120), and a rotating ring (130).

[0048] The above handle rod (110) may be provided in the form of a bar extending in one direction. The handle rod (110) may connect the handle ring (120) and the rotation ring (130). From another perspective, the handle rod (110) may space the handle ring (120) and the rotation ring (130) apart in the longitudinal direction.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the length of the handle rod (110) can determine the extent to which the rider's waist is straightened. Accordingly, if the length of the handle rod (110) is too short, even if the rider selects the handle portion (100) instead of the handle bar (31), the rider's waist will not be properly straightened, and in this case, the healthy riding mode that straightens the waist will not be able to operate properly.

[0050] Conversely, if the length of the handle rod (110) is too long, the waist may be bent backward, causing more strain or fatigue on the waist than in the basic driving mode where the waist is bent forward.

[0051] Accordingly, according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the handle rod (110) be formed to a length that allows the rider to keep his / her waist straight.

[0052] At this time, each person riding a bicycle (30) may have a different body structure. For example, each person riding a bicycle (30) may have different arm lengths and upper body lengths. Accordingly, the length of the handlebar rod (110) that allows the rider to keep his / her back straight may be determined by the body structure of the rider riding the bicycle (30).

[0053] Accordingly, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the handle rod (110) may be provided with a structure or shape in which the length is variable.

[0054] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the handle rod (110) can be bolted to the handle ring (120) and the rotating ring (130). Accordingly, by releasing the bolt connection, the handle rod (110) having a shorter length can be used to replace the existing handle rod (110) having a longer length, or the handle rod (110) having a longer length can be used to replace the existing handle rod (110) having a shorter length.

[0055] As another example, the handle rod (110) may be provided with a telescopically extendable structure.

[0056] As another example, the handle rod (110) may be provided with a structure in which a longitudinal central portion is detachable, and after separation, at least one auxiliary rod is connected longitudinally therebetween.

[0057] As another example, the handle rod (110) is made of an elastic material, so that when a rider pulls the handle ring (120), it is elastically deformed and stretched in the longitudinal direction, and when the force of the rider pulling the handle ring (120) is removed, it is elastically restored to its original length, so that its length can be varied.

[0058] The handle ring (120) may be provided on one end of the longitudinal direction of the handle rod (110). According to one embodiment of the present invention, the handle ring (120) may be provided as an oval ring to enable stable gripping, and on the inner side, for example, wave-patterned protrusions may be provided to provide a resting surface for each finger to improve the gripping feeling.

[0059] The above-described rotating ring (130) may be provided on the other end in the longitudinal direction of the handle rod (110). The rotating ring (130) may be axially coupled to the rotating shaft (211) of the coupling part (200) described later.

[0060] In this way, the handle part (100) can be rotated 360 degrees around the rotation axis (211) through the rotation ring (130) that is axially coupled to the rotation axis (211). That is, the handle part (100) can be provided to be rotatable 360 ​​degrees around the handle bar (31) of the bicycle (30) that is coaxial with the rotation axis (211).

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the basic driving mode, i.e., when the rider is holding the handle bar (31), the handle ring (120) of the handle part (100) is positioned to face the ground due to its own weight and gravity, and during driving, the handle part (100) can reciprocate in the forward and backward direction, for example, like a pendulum.

[0062] In this state, when the rider applies force in the direction of lifting the handle ring (120), the rotating ring (130) rotates around the rotation axis (211), and a healthy riding mode can be initiated in which the handle ring (120) is positioned toward the rider's chest. That is, the leader's arms are extended, and accordingly, the waist can be straightened.

[0063] In the healthy riding mode, the rider with his back straight controls the direction of the bicycle (30) with the handle ring (120) of the handle section (100) instead of the handle bar (31).

[0064] Accordingly, the fatigue from riding a bicycle (30) for a long time can be alleviated, and the surrounding scenery can be enjoyed without difficulty, so the effect of bicycle (30) hiking can be maximized.

[0065]

[0066] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, the coupling portion (200) can be connected to one end of the longitudinal direction of the handle portion (100). Specifically, the coupling portion (200) can be connected to the rotating ring (130) of the handle portion (100). This coupling portion (200) can connect the handle portion (100) to the handle bar (31) of the bicycle (30).

[0067] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the coupling part (200) can couple the handle part (100) to the handle bar (31) so as to allow rotation of the handle part (100) about the handle bar (31) as an axis.

[0068] That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the coupling part (200) allows rotation of the handle part (100) around the handle bar (31) by coupling the handle part (100) to the handle bar (31), thereby enabling a transition from a basic driving mode in which the rider controls the driving direction of the bicycle (30) with the handle bar (31) to a healthy driving mode in which the rider controls the driving direction of the bicycle (30) with the handle part (100).

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such a coupling portion (200) can be formed by including a rotation shaft member (210), a fastening pin member (220), a close fixing member (230), and an end member (240).

[0070]

[0071] The above-mentioned rotation shaft member (210) may include a rotation shaft (211), a rotation shaft support (212), a coupling protrusion (213), and a first through hole (214).

[0072] The above rotation axis (211) can be axially coupled with a handle portion (100), more specifically, a rotation ring (130) of the handle portion (100). Accordingly, the handle portion (100) can be rotated 360 degrees around the rotation axis (211).

[0073] The above-mentioned rotational shaft support (212) may be provided at the longitudinal rear end (left side in the drawing) of the rotational shaft (211). The rotational shaft support (212) may be provided as an integral part with the rotational shaft (211). The rotational shaft support (212) may be provided in the form of a disk having a diameter larger than that of the rotational shaft (211).

[0074] This rotational axis support member (212) can prevent the rotation ring (130) of the handle member (100) that is axially coupled to the outer surface of the rotational axis (211) from moving in the axial direction. That is, the rotational axis support member (212) can play a role in preventing the rotation ring (130) from moving toward the handle bar (31).

[0075] The above-described coupling protrusion (213) may be provided at the rear end of the rotation shaft support member (212). The above-described coupling protrusion (213) may be provided in a form that protrudes rearward from the rear end of the rotation shaft support member (212). This coupling protrusion (213) may be mounted in the first mounting groove (231c) of the close fixing member (230) described below.

[0076] The above first through hole (214) may be provided in a form that penetrates the rotation shaft (211), the rotation shaft support (212), and the coupling protrusion (213) in the longitudinal direction. A pin rod (221) of a fastening pin member (220) may pass through the first through hole (214).

[0077]

[0078] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening pin member (220) can be formed to include a pin load (221) and a pin head (222).

[0079] The above pin rod (221) may be provided in the form of a bar extending in one direction. At this time, a screw thread may be formed at the longitudinal end of the pin rod (221). The pin rod (221) may be provided with a length that is relatively longer than the combined length of the rotational shaft member (210) and the close fixing member (230) so that it can be screw-connected to the end member (240) located at the rearmost position based on the fastening direction.

[0080] The pin head (222) may be provided at one end of the longitudinal direction of the pin rod (221). When the fastening pin member (220) is fastened to the rotary shaft member (210), the pin head (222) may be brought into close contact with the front end of the rotary shaft (211). Accordingly, the pin head (222) is arranged at the longitudinal front end of the rotary shaft (211), and the rotary shaft support member (212) is arranged at the longitudinal rear end of the rotary shaft (211), so that the axial movement of the rotary ring (130) of the handle part (100) that is axially coupled to the rotary shaft (211) can be restricted. In particular, the pin head (222) can prevent the handle part (100) from being separated from the rotary shaft (211).

[0081] The front end surface of the pin head (222) may be provided with a mounting groove into which the head of a fastening tool such as a hexagonal wrench or driver is mounted.

[0082] Here, as a modified embodiment, the coupling portion (200) may further include a stopper (32). The longitudinal end of the rotation shaft (211) may be fitted to the rear surface of the stopper (32). According to a modified embodiment, the rotation shaft support portion (212) and the stopper (32) may be respectively provided at both longitudinal ends of the rotation shaft (211), thereby forming a partition wall that restricts the axial movement of the rotation ring (130) provided in the handle portion (100).

[0083] At this time, according to a modified embodiment, a plug groove (32a) may be provided on the inside of the plug (32) in the longitudinal direction, into which the pin rod (221) can be inserted and the pin head (222) can be seated.

[0084]

[0085] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the close fixing member (230) is aligned with the longitudinal rear end of the rotation shaft member (210) based on the direction facing the fastening pin member (220), and can be pressurized and closely attached to the longitudinal rear end of the rotation shaft member (210) by the fastening pin member (220).

[0086]

[0087] *When a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a handle bar (31) of a bicycle (30), the close fixing member (230) can be close fixed to the inner diameter surface of the handle bar (31), and through this, the connecting portion (200) can be fixed to the handle bar (31).

[0088] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the close fixing member (230) may be composed of a first close fixing member (231) and a second close fixing member (232).

[0089] The above first close fixing member (231) may include a first body portion (231a), a second-first through hole (231b), and a first fixing groove (231c).

[0090] The above first body part (231a) forms the outer appearance of the first close-fitting fixing member (231). This first body part (231a) may be provided in a cylindrical shape extending in one direction. In this case, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first body part (231a) may have an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the handle bar (31). Accordingly, when the first body part (231a) is inserted into the inside of the handle bar (31), a gap may be formed between the handle bar (31) and the first body part (231a).

[0091] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the longitudinal rear cross-section of the first body portion (231a) may be provided as a first inclined surface (231d).

[0092] The above-mentioned 2-1 through hole (231b) may be provided longitudinally on the inner side of the first body portion (231a). The above-mentioned 2-1 through hole (231b) may form a single flow path longitudinally with the first through hole (214) of the rotational shaft member (210). Accordingly, the pin rod (221) of the fastening pin member (220) may sequentially pass through the rotational shaft member (210) and the first close fixing member (231).

[0093] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the 2-1 through hole (231b) may have a relatively larger diameter than the first through hole (214).

[0094] The first fixing groove (231c) may be provided on one side of the longitudinal end of the first body portion (231a). When the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention is mounted on the handle bar (31) of a bicycle (30), the engaging protrusion (213) of the rotation shaft member (210) may be fixed in the first fixing groove (231c).

[0095] In this way, the rotating shaft member (210) and the first close fixing member (231) are connected male and female through the connecting protrusion (213) and the first fixing groove (231c), so that the close contact state can be maintained more stably.

[0096] At this time, when the above-mentioned coupling protrusion (213) is provided with a length corresponding to the diameter of the first body part (231a), the first fixing groove (231c) may also be provided on the other side of the longitudinal end of the first body part (231a).

[0097] In this way, a pair of first fixing grooves (231c) provided on both sides of the longitudinal end of the first body part (231a) are connected through the 2-1 through hole (231b) to form a single groove into which the coupling protrusion (213) can be inserted.

[0098] The above second close fixing member (232) may include a second body portion (232a), a second-second through hole (232b), and a second fixing groove (232c).

[0099] The second body portion (232a) forms the outer appearance of the second close-fitting fixing member (232). The second body portion (232a) may be provided in a cylindrical shape extending in one direction with the same shape as the first body portion (231a). Accordingly, the second body portion (232a) may also have an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the handle bar (31).

[0100] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the longitudinal front end surface of the second body part (232a) may be provided as a second inclined surface (232d) that is in close contact with the first inclined surface (231d) provided on the longitudinal rear end surface of the first body part (232a). That is, the first inclined surface (231d) and the second inclined surface (232d) may have the same slope.

[0101] The above-mentioned 2-2 through hole (232b) may be provided longitudinally on the inner side of the second body part (232a). The above-mentioned 2-2 through hole (232b) may form a single flow path longitudinally with the 2-1 through hole (231b). Accordingly, the pin rod (221) of the fastening pin member (220) may sequentially pass through the rotation shaft member (210), the first close fixing member (231), and the second close fixing member (232).

[0102] At this time, the 2-2 through hole (232b) may have the same diameter as the 2-1 through hole (231b). Accordingly, the 2-2 through hole (232b) may have a relatively larger diameter than the 1st through hole (214).

[0103] The second fixing groove (232c) may be provided on one side of the longitudinal rear end of the second body portion (232a). When the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention is mounted on the handle bar (31) of a bicycle (30), the protruding end of the end body (241) of the end member (240) described below may be fixed in the second fixing groove (232c).

[0104] In this way, the second close fixing member (232) and the end member (240) are connected male and female through the second fixing groove (232c) and the protruding end of the end body (241), so that the close state can be maintained more stably.

[0105] In particular, when the longitudinal ends of the close fixing member (232) are respectively male and female connected to the longitudinal rear end of the rotation shaft member (210) and the longitudinal front end of the end member (240), when the fastening pin member (220) is fastened, the face-to-face close contact state between the first inclined surface (231d) and the second inclined surface (232d) is maintained without misalignment, so that the relative slip between the first inclined surface (231d) and the second inclined surface (232d) can be more smoothly achieved.

[0106] Referring to FIG. 6, when the first inclined surface (231d) and the second inclined surface (232d) are in close contact with each other to form a cylinder, and the first close fixing member (231) and the second close fixing member (232) are inserted into the inside of the handle bar (31), since the outer diameters of the first close fixing member (231) and the second close fixing member (232) are relatively smaller than the inner diameter of the handle bar (31), a gap may be formed between the inner diameter side of the handle bar (31) and the close fixing member (230). At this time, since FIG. 6 assumes a state in which a close fixing member (230) is placed on the inner diameter side of the handle bar (31), based on the drawing, the lower side of the close fixing member (230) is in close contact with the lower inner diameter side of the handle bar (31), and a gap is formed between the upper side of the close fixing member (230) and the upper inner diameter side of the handle bar (31). However, if it is assumed that the close fixing member (230) is located at the inner center part of the handle bar (31), it goes without saying that a gap can be formed both between the upper side of the close fixing member (230) and the inner diameter side of the handle bar (31) facing it, and between the lower side of the close fixing member (230) and the inner diameter side of the handle bar (31) facing it.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 7, when the first inclined surface (231d) of the first close-fitting fixing member (231) and the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close-fitting fixing member (232) are in close contact with each other, the fastening pin member (220) inserted into the 2-1 through hole (231b) of the first close-fitting fixing member (231) and the 2-2 through hole (232b) of the second close-fitting fixing member (232) is screw-connected to the end member (240) that is connected male and female to the longitudinal rear end of the second close-fitting fixing member (232), the end member (240) is pulled toward the pin head (222) of the fastening pin member (220), and accordingly, the second close-fitting fixing member (232) is also pulled toward the pin head (222).

[0108] Accordingly, relative slip may occur between the first inclined surface (231d) of the first close fixing member (231) and the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close fixing member (232).

[0109] In this way, through slip occurring between the first inclined surface (231d) of the first close-fitting fixing member (231) and the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close-fitting fixing member (232), the first close-fitting fixing member (231) and the second close-fitting fixing member (232) can be deformed into a shape that is misaligned from the alignment line.

[0110] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the lower side of the close fixing member (230) is in close contact with the lower inner diameter side of the handle bar (31) and a gap is formed between the upper side of the close fixing member (230) and the upper inner diameter side of the handle bar (31), the first close fixing member (231) can slip up on the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close fixing member (232) and come into close contact with the inner diameter side of the handle bar (31).

[0111] Accordingly, based on the cross-section, the first close fixing member (231) and the second close fixing member (232), which are integrally connected through the pin rod (221) of the fastening pin member (220), are in close contact with the upper and lower parts of the inner diameter side of the handle bar (31), respectively, and through this, the detachment of the coupling part (200) from the handle bar (31) can be prevented, and as a result, the handle part (100) can be stably mounted on the handle bar (31).

[0112] Here, the pin load (221) of the fastening pin member (220) can be lifted upward by the first close fastening member (231) in the process of the first close fastening member (231) going up the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close fastening member (232).

[0113] Accordingly, when slip occurs between the first inclined surface (231d) of the first close-fitting fixing member (231) and the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close-fitting fixing member (232), the upper portion of the pin rod (221) can come into contact with the upper surface of the 2-2 through hole (232b), and the lower portion of the pin rod (221) can come into contact with the lower surface of the 2-1 through hole (231b).

[0114] Meanwhile, if you want to separate the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) from the handle bar (31), you only need to release the screw connection between the fastening pin member (220) and the end member (240).

[0115] That is, when the screw connection between the fastening pin member (220) and the end member (240) is released, the first close fastening member (231) slips down the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close fastening member (232), and the close contact between the close fastening member (230) and the handle bar (31) is released.

[0116] Accordingly, for example, by pulling the handle portion (100) outward, the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) can be easily separated from the handle bar (31).

[0117]

[0118] Referring again to FIGS. 2 and 5, the terminal member (240) may include a terminal body (241) and a terminal groove (242).

[0119] The above terminal body (241) forms the exterior of the terminal member (240). This terminal body (241) can be aligned with the longitudinal rear end of the close fixing member (230), more specifically, the second close fixing member (232).

[0120] At this time, the front end of the terminal body (241) facing the longitudinal rear end of the second close-fitting fixing member (232) may be configured to have a structure in which one side protrudes. In this way, the front end of the terminal body (241) protruding on one side may be secured in the second securing groove (232c) of the second close-fitting fixing member (232). That is, the second close-fitting fixing member (232) and the terminal body (241) may be male-female coupled through the second securing groove (232c) and the protruding front end.

[0121] A terminal groove (242) may be provided at the protruding tip of the terminal body (241). A pin rod (221) of a fastening pin member (220) that sequentially penetrates the rotational shaft member (210) and the close fixing member (230) is inserted into the terminal groove (242), so that the fastening pin member (220) and the terminal member (240) can be screw-connected.

[0122] As described above, when the fastening pin member (220) and the end member (240) are screw-connected, slip occurs between the first inclined surface (231d) of the first close-fitting fixing member (231) and the second inclined surface (232d) of the second close-fitting fixing member (232), so that the close-fitting fixing member (230) is connected in a force-fit form in close contact with the inner diameter side of the handle bar (31), and through this, the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be stably mounted on the handle bar (31) of the bicycle (30).

[0123]

[0124] Referring to Fig. 8, as described above, in the basic riding mode, a rider can ride a bicycle (30) by sitting on the saddle of the bicycle (30) and turning the pedals while holding the handle bars (31) on both sides with both hands and controlling the riding direction.

[0125] At this time, since the rider's waist is bent forward in the basic riding mode, if the rider rides the bicycle (30) in this posture for a long time, fatigue builds up and it is difficult to see the surrounding scenery properly.

[0126] Accordingly, the rider can switch from the basic riding mode to the healthy riding mode. To do this, the rider grabs and lifts the handle (100) of the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) mounted on the handle bar (31), causing the handle (100) to rotate around the handle bar (31) and be positioned so that it faces the rider's chest. Accordingly, the healthy riding mode can be initiated.

[0127] That is, the rider's arms are extended, and accordingly, the rider's waist can be raised. In this state, the rider can ride the bicycle (30) while controlling the direction of the bicycle using the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) instead of the handlebar (31).

[0128] The bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can provide the aforementioned healthy riding mode. Accordingly, fatigue from long-distance bicycle riding (30) can be alleviated, allowing for longer riding times and distances, and leisurely viewing of the surrounding scenery.

[0129] That is, the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can provide the rider with a maximized bicycle (30) hiking effect.

[0130]

[0131] Hereinafter, a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

[0132]

[0133] FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a combination diagram of FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating a fastening ring portion of a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0134]

[0135] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (20) according to another embodiment of the present invention can be formed by including a handle portion (100) and a connecting portion (300).

[0136]

[0137] Since other embodiments of the present invention differ only in the joint portion compared to one embodiment of the present invention, the same drawing reference numerals are given to the remaining identical components, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0138]

[0139] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the coupling portion (300) may be connected to one end of the longitudinal direction of the handle portion (100). Specifically, the coupling portion (300) may be connected to the rotating ring (130) of the handle portion (100). This coupling portion (300) may connect the handle portion (100) to the handle bar (31) of the bicycle (30).

[0140] At this time, the coupling part (300) can couple the handle part (100) to the handle bar (31) so that rotation of the handle part (100) is allowed about the handle bar (31) as an axis.

[0141] That is, the above-mentioned coupling part (300) allows rotation of the handle part (100) around the handle bar (31) by coupling the handle part (100) to the handle bar (31), thereby enabling a transition from a basic driving mode in which the rider controls the driving direction of the bicycle (30) with the handle bar (31) to a healthy driving mode in which the rider controls the driving direction of the bicycle (30) with the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (20), more specifically, the handle part (100) of the bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (20).

[0142] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such a joint (300) can be formed by including a rotation shaft member (310) and a fastening pin member (320).

[0143] The above-mentioned rotation shaft member (310) may include a rotation shaft (311), a rotation shaft support member (312), and a fastening ring member (313).

[0144] The above-mentioned rotation shaft (311) may be axially coupled with a handle portion (100), more specifically, a rotation ring (130) of the handle portion (110). Accordingly, the handle portion (100) may be rotated 360 degrees around the rotation shaft (311). A fastening groove (311a) may be provided at the longitudinal end of the rotation shaft (311).

[0145] The rotational shaft support (312) may be provided at the longitudinal rear end of the rotational shaft (311). The rotational shaft support (312) may be provided as an integral part with the rotational shaft (311). The rotational shaft support (312) may be provided in the form of a disk having a diameter larger than that of the rotational shaft (311).

[0146] This rotational axis support member (312) can prevent the rotational ring (130) of the handle portion (100) that is axially coupled to the outer surface of the rotational axis (311) from moving in the axial direction. That is, the rotational axis support member (312) can play a role in preventing the rotational ring (130) from moving toward the handle bar (31). From another perspective, the rotational axis support member (312) can prevent the rotational ring (130) from being separated from the rotational axis (311).

[0147] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the fastening ring portion (313) may be provided at the rear end of the rotation shaft support portion (312). The fastening ring portion (313) may be fastened to the outer circumference of the handle bar (31). In this way, by fastening the fastening ring portion (313) to the outer circumference of the handle bar (31), the coupling portion (300) may be stably fixed to the handle bar (31).

[0148] As illustrated in FIG. 11, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the fastening ring portion (313) may be composed of a first fastening ring (313a) and a second fastening ring (313b).

[0149] The first fastening ring (313a) may be provided with a semicircular cross-section so that it can be closely fitted to the outer surface of the handle bar (31). A first wing portion (313c) is provided at one longitudinal end of the first fastening ring (313a), and the other longitudinal end may be hinge-coupled with the other longitudinal end of the second fastening ring (313b).

[0150] The second fastening ring (313b) may be provided with a semicircular cross-section so as to form a single circle with the first fastening ring (313a). A second wing portion (313c') is provided at one longitudinal end of the second fastening ring (313b), and the other longitudinal end may be hinge-coupled with the other longitudinal end of the first fastening ring (313a).

[0151] In order to mount a bicycle hiking auxiliary handle (20) according to another embodiment of the present invention to a handle bar (31) of a bicycle (30), first, at least one of the first fastening ring (313a) and the second fastening ring (313b) can be rotated to wrap around the circumference of the handle bar (31).

[0152] For example, first, the handle bar (31) may be placed on the inside of the first fastening ring (313a) so that the first fastening ring (313a) wraps around half of the circumference of the handle bar (31), and then the second fastening ring (313b) may be rotated around the hinge axis so that the second fastening ring (313b) wraps around the remaining circumference of the handle bar (31).

[0153] In this way, when the first fastening ring (313a) and the second fastening ring (313b) face each other in a symmetrical manner to form a circle, the first wing part (313c) of the first fastening ring (313a) and the second wing part (313c') of the second fastening ring (313b) can overlap each other.

[0154] Next, by fastening bolts to the first wing part (313c) and the second wing part (313c') that are overlapped with each other, the joint part (300) can be stably fixed to the outer surface of the handle bar (31).

[0155] A coupling part (300) according to another embodiment of the present invention can be configured to hold the handle bar (31) from the outside of the handle bar (31), that is, to be coupled with the handle bar (31) from the outside of the handle bar (31), unlike a coupling part (200) according to an embodiment of the present invention (see FIGS. 2 and 7) that holds the handle bar (31) from the inside of the handle bar (31), that is, to be coupled with the handle bar (31) from the inside of the handle bar (31).

[0156]

[0157] Meanwhile, the fastening pin member (320) can be fastened to a fastening groove (311a) provided at the longitudinal end of the rotation shaft (311).

[0158] The head of the fastening pin member (320) with the screw-formed body part fastened to the fastening groove (311a) can be brought into close contact with the longitudinal end of the rotation shaft (311). Accordingly, the head of the fastening pin member (320) and the rotation shaft support member (312), which have a diameter larger than that of the rotation shaft (311), are brought into close contact with each of the longitudinal ends of the rotation shaft (311) to form a partition wall facing each other.

[0159] Accordingly, the axial movement of the rotary ring (130) provided in the handle portion (100) that is axially coupled to the rotary shaft (311) is restricted, and the detachment of the handle portion (100) from the rotary shaft (311) can be prevented.

[0160] Here, a mounting groove may be provided in the head of the fastening pin member (320) into which the head of a fastening tool such as a hexagonal wrench or driver is mounted.

[0161]

[0162] While the present invention has been described in detail using preferred embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and should be construed in accordance with the appended claims. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that numerous modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
