Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a steering handle in which a cover body is removably attached to a rod-shaped portion of the steering wheel, and the rod-shaped portion is covered with the cover body.

In a conventional steering handle in which a rod-shaped portion is covered with a cover body, a large number of cover bodies are placed over the rod-shaped portion of the steering handle, and the cover bodies are integrally connected to the rod-shaped portion to cover the rod-shaped portion. Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that the appearance will be unsightly unless the many cover bodies that make up the steering wheel cover are attached to the rod-shaped part with precision, taking into account the divided shapes of the many cover bodies that make up the steering wheel cover. , the number of attachment points to the rod-shaped portion increases, and it takes time and effort to attach the cover body to the rod-shaped portion, which has the disadvantage that the structure of the cover body and handle becomes complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main purpose is to simplify the structure of the cover body, reduce the number of attachment points to the rod-shaped portion of the cover body, and easily and easily use a pair of cover bodies. To provide a steering handle covered with a cover body capable of accurately covering a rod-shaped portion.

The structure of the present invention is to cover a rod-shaped portion of a steering handle with a first cover body, cover the rod-shaped portion not covered by the first cover body with a second cover body, and attach and detach these cover bodies to the rod-shaped portion. In the steering handle, which is freely attached and has a rod-shaped portion covered by the first and second cover bodies, the first and second cover bodies form abutment walls at least on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and the first and second cover bodies abut against each other. An abutment wall on one side of the first cover body and an abutment wall on one side of the second cover body are formed to engage with each other, and the first and second cover bodies are abutted against each other. at least one stopper passage hole is formed in a portion of the abutting wall on the other side, and at least one protrusion with a stopper passage hole is formed on a rod-shaped portion of the steering handle corresponding to the portion with the stopper passage hole. , the first and second cover bodies are placed over the rod-shaped portion, the locking portions of the abutment walls on one side of the first and second cover bodies are removably engaged with each other, and the first and second cover bodies are removably engaged with each other. Passing a stopper through the stopper passage hole of the abutting wall on the other side of the second cover body, the stopper pass-through hole of the protrusion of the rod-shaped part, and the stopper pass-through hole of the abutting wall on the other side of the second cover body,
The first and second cover bodies are removably attached to the rod-shaped portion using the fasteners, and the first and second cover bodies

The upper cover body 22 is positioned above, and the locking hole 22d of the locking piece 22e of the upper cover body 22 is inserted into the locking piece 23d of the standing wall 23c of the lower cover body 23.
You may also fit it.

Prior to attaching the upper and lower cover bodies 22, 23, the cable 3 is inserted along the tip side portion 11b.
3. Arrange the harness 34, etc., and after installation, make sure that the cable 33, harness 34, etc. are arranged between the upper and lower cover bodies 22, 23 and the tip side part 11b. .

Right end side part 1 of steering handle 11
In the same way as the side cover 1b is covered, the left end side of the steering handle 11 is also covered with a side cover.

Left and right tip side parts 1 of the steering handle 11
After attaching the right and left side covers to 1b to cover the right and left tip sides 11b,
A central cover 20a is attached to the rod-shaped central portion 11a. That is, the semicircular recesses on both sides of the center cover 20a are fitted into the semicircular grooves 22b of the semicylindrical body 22a of the upper cover body 22, and the grooves on both ends of the lower side of the center cover 20a are fitted. Fit into the center part 11a of the steering handle 11, cover the upper surface of the upper bracket 13, insert the screw 36 into the screw hole in the recess on the upper surface of the center cover 20a, and screw into the screw hole of the upper bracket 13. Then, the center cover 20a is fixed to the upper bracket 13.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can also be applied to, for example, a type in which a steering handle made of a rod-shaped body is directly fixed to the upper part of a front fork rotatably attached to a head pipe. The present invention can be applied to any type of steering handle that includes a rod-shaped portion such as a tube or a rod.

As described above, in the steering handle in which the rod-shaped portion is covered with the cover body of the present invention, the first and second cover bodies form abutment walls at least on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and the first and second cover bodies abut against each other. An abutment wall on one side of the cover body and an abutment wall on one side of the second cover body are formed to engage with each other, and the other side of the first and second cover bodies that abut each other are formed. forming at least one stopper passage hole in a portion of the side abutment wall, and forming at least one protrusion with a stopper passage hole in a rod-shaped portion of the steering handle corresponding to the portion with the stopper passage hole; The first and second cover bodies are placed over the rod-shaped portion, the locking portions of the butt walls on one side of the first and second cover bodies are removably engaged with each other, and the first cover body is Pass the stopper through the stopper passage hole of the abutting wall on the other side, the stopper pass-through hole of the protrusion of the rod-shaped part, and the stopper pass-through hole of the abutment wall on the other side of the second cover body, and insert the stopper into the stopper. first and second cover bodies are removably attached to the rod-shaped portion, and a cable, harness, etc., extending along the rod-shaped portion is provided between the first and second cover bodies and the rod-shaped portion. Since the first and second cover bodies are stored, the structures of the first and second cover bodies are simplified, and the number of attachment points to the rod-shaped portion of each cover body using fasteners is reduced (for example, one or two places).

In addition, since one side of the first and second cover bodies simply engages the locking portions formed on the butt walls that engage with each other in a removable manner, the locking of the butt wall on that side is easy. The other side of the first and second cover bodies can be easily fitted with a stopper through the stopper passage hole of the first cover body, the stopper passage hole of the rod-shaped portion, and the stopper passage hole of the second cover body. through,
Since the first and second cover bodies are detachably attached to the rod-shaped portion, it is easy to attach each cover body to the rod-shaped portion, and the rod-shaped portion of the steering handle can be covered easily and accurately. I can do it.

Furthermore, since the first and second cover bodies are placed around the rod-shaped portion and the abutment walls on both sides in the longitudinal direction of each cover body are abutted against each other to cover the rod-shaped portion, the cable can be attached along the rod-shaped portion. ,
Even if the first and second cover bodies are placed over the bar-shaped portion after placing the harness etc., there is a space inside each cover body, so the cable, harness etc. do not get in the way, and the cable, harness etc. It can be easily placed between the first and second cover bodies and the rod-shaped portion without damaging the harness or the like.
