Adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle
An adjusting mechanism for the handle position of a bicycle includes an upper cover ( 2 ) and a lower cover ( 3 ), which clamp the handle, and a handle vertical pipe ( 5 ) fastened on the front fork by a retaining mechanism. One side of the upper cover and one side of the lower cover for clamping the handle are connected with each other, and the other sides can be interlocked by an independent retaining mechanism. The top of the handle vertical pipe is provided with steps ( 6 ), and the lower cover is sleeved outside the handle vertical pipe and arranged below the steps at the top of the handle vertical pipe. As the lower cover is sleeved outside the handle vertical pipe and arranged below the steps at the top of the handle vertical pipe, the handle vertical pipe can be tightly fixed on the front fork by the retaining mechanism, furthermore, the handle position can be repeatedly adjusted without influencing rigidity between the front fork and the handle, thus the bicycle becomes more comfortable and has better safety performance. Meanwhile, by loosening the retaining mechanism, the whole handle system can rotate relative to the vertical pipe. When the bicycle is not in use, the handle can be rotated downward to the direction parallel to the body of the bicycle, thereby reducing space occupied by the bicycle.
1. An adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle, comprising an upper cover and a lower cover for clamping the handle, and a handle vertical pipe; the handle vertical pipe adapts to be fixed on a front fork vertical pipe with a pipe locking mechanism; the upper cover and the lower cover for clamping the handle are connected with each other on one side; wherein the upper cover and the lower cover are locked together with an independent cover locking mechanism on another side; top of the handle vertical pipe is provided with a step; the lower cover is sleeved outside the handle vertical pipe and disposed below the step of the handle vertical pipe; an upper surface of the step of the handle vertical pipe is provided with at least one groove which conforms to a clamped part of the handle; the handle is disposed on the step such that the step is located between the handle and the lower cover.
2. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 1 , wherein the cover locking mechanism for the upper cover and the lower cover is a quick release mechanism.
3. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 2 , wherein an upper groove which conforms to a clamped part of the handle is disposed inside the upper cover.
4. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the step of the handle vertical pipe is provided with two grooves which conform to a clamped part of the handle; one arc groove is at a 90° angle to a plane of bicycle frame, the other arc groove is parallel to the plane of bicycle frame approximately, which enables the handle to cling to the bicycle frame and occupy minimum space after being folded.
5. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 4 , wherein an upper groove which conforms to a clamped part of the handle is disposed inside the upper cover.
6. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 1 , wherein an upper groove which conforms to a clamped part of the handle is disposed inside the upper cover.
7. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 1 , wherein the step is a circular step; and antiskid strictures are disposed between the upper cover and the handle, and between the circular step and the handle.
8. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 7 , wherein the antiskid strictures are convex teeth and concave teeth which engage with one another.
9. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 1 , wherein the handle comprises a rigid body respectively at left and right of a handle; the two rigid bodies respectively extend downwards to left side and right side of the adjusting mechanism and get connected by a horizontal part having a cross section, which is roughly circular or polygonal; the two rigid bodies are either bent forwards or backwards all together.
10. The adjusting mechanism for handle position of bicycle according to claim 1 , wherein the handle comprises a T-shaped handle, a stand pipe, and a handle locking mechanism; the T-shaped handle is inserted into the strand pipe, and the T-shaped handle and the stand pipe are fixed together with the handle locking mechanism.
