Abstract:
A bicycle handlebar assembly having a handlebar attachment mounted fixedly connected to a fork of the bicycle and oriented forwards with respect to it, elongated mainly according to its own longitudinal axis (B) inclined with respect to the direction of forward movement (A) of the bicycle by an angle a smaller than +/−12°; a handlebar rod, provided with handgrips at opposite ends thereof; a front seat) formed in the handlebar attachment for abutment of a central area of the handlebar rod; a stop removably fixed to said handlebar attachment through attachment screws to lock the handlebar rod in the seat of the handlebar attachment. The stop comprises at least one open strap, with a central portion arranged in circumferential direction around the handlebar rod and two rear arms extending in tangential direction with respect to the central portion for fixing to the handlebar attachment by means of the attachment screws.The rear attachment arms of the strap extending in the tangential direction thus face backwards with respect to the direction of forward movement (A) of the bicycle and thus allow the front section of the handlebar assembly to be reduced.
Abstract:
A three-piece stem of a bicycle includes a stem body, a bottom pipe, and a middle element. A first torus portion and a second torus portion are disposed at two ends of the stem body, respectively. The bottom pipe is disposed in the second torus portion of the stem body. The middle element is disposed between the second torus portion of the stem body and the bottom pipe. A connecting element couples the second torus portion of the stem body, the bottom pipe, and the middle element together, such that the second torus portion of the stem body, the bottom pipe, and the middle element are fixed tightly to a front forked upright pipe collectively, thereby enhancing the ease of assembly and the binding strength upon completion of assembly.
Abstract:
A bicycle stem that includes a tubular main body portion with an internal cavity and a first outer casing holder that is configured to hold an end of a first outer casing of a cable. The first outer casing holder is disposed in the internal cavity.
Abstract:

Under this arrangement, the arc groove of the assembling portion is provided for a rider to quickly and simply assemble the handlebar to the stem.
Abstract:
A cycling control system designed to facilitate the operation of all cycle functions with a single hand. The controls are intended to allow individuals with unilateral weakness to steer, shift gears, and brake on any bicycle or tricycle. The system includes a handlebar that either replaces or attaches to existing handlebars. The handlebar grip is located adjacent to the brake and gear controls such that the user may operate all functions without ever having to remove his or her hand from the controls.
Abstract:
A handlebar assembly suitable to be installed on a steerer tube of a bicycle is provided. The handlebar assembly includes a stem, a handlebar, and a fastener. The stem has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, wherein the stem has a first fastening surface positioned at the first end, and wherein the second end is suitable to be assembled to the steerer tube. The handlebar includes a middle portion and two handle portions, wherein the handle portions are positioned on two opposite sides of the middle portion respectively, and wherein the middle portion has a second fastening surface to be infixed to the first fastening surface. The fastener crosses the first fastening surface and the second fastening surface infixed to each other to fasten the stem and the handlebar and is positioned within the stem and the middle portion.
Abstract:
Handlebars having a master tube, two handgrips at opposite ends of the master tube, a stem for attaching to a fork, and at least one portion with doubled section, the cross section of which comprises an upper outer wall, a lower outer wall, an upper inner wall and a lower inner wall. The upper outer wall is distanced from and joined to the upper inner wall, the lower outer wall is distanced from and joined to the lower inner wall, and the upper inner wall is distanced from the lower inner wall.
Abstract:
Bicycle handlebar stem including a lightweight material, notably composite material, body (2) provided with at least one housing to receive a cylindrical part, and means (S) for clamping that part in the housing to assemble the stem and said part; the clamping means (S) comprise at least two studs (6) fixed in the stem body (2) in the vicinity of the housing (3) to project from the body, the stem including in a part facing but spaced from the area provided with the studs at least two conjugate holes (8) adapted to have the studs pass through them, and a nut (9) associated with each stud to clamp the cylindrical element in the stem, this clamping being obtained without causing the studs to turn in the stem body.
Abstract:
A handle structure for sports equipment bars (B) particularly handlebars of cycles, motor cycles or the like. The structure (1) has a main tubular body (2) which defines a longitudinal axis (X), and has an outer surface (6) susceptible of being grasped by a user and an inner surface (7) designed to be operably mounted to the bar (B). A first device (3) axially locks the main body (2) to the bar (B). The tubular body (2) has a plurality of modular annular elements (10, 10′, 10″) designed for mutual coaxial connection along the longitudinal axis (X) for adjusting the overall length (L) of the body (2) to each user's needs. A sports implement incorporating such structure is also provided.
Abstract:
An adjustable handlebar assembly for a saddle-type vehicle includes a base member, a support member, a left handlebar and a right handlebar. The support member is rotatably coupled to the base member and each of the left handlebar and the right handlebar is attached to the support member. The support member is configured to permit the left handlebar and the right handlebar to be selectively moved relative to the support member and the base member, independently of one another, to selectively adjust each of the left handlebar and the right handlebar in respective, generally longitudinal directions along a saddle-type vehicle, when the adjustable handlebar assembly is pivotally coupled to a frame of the saddle-type vehicle.
