Publication number: 20120187169Abstract: An accessory-holding assembly is provided for holding portable accessories on a set of handlebars. The assembly includes an elongate member sized to receive two or more general-purpose clips often associated with portable accessories. The elongate member may be part of an accessory holder that can be removed, with the accessories still attached, from the handlebars. This allows a rider to remove a plurality of portable accessories from the handlebars in a single action so that the rider can carry the entire accessory holder, including the accessories, into an area where bicycles are not permitted (e.g., an office). The elongate bar may also be attached to a bracket at its two ends to define a space therebetween so that part of each general purpose clip can be inserted into the space. If the space has proper dimensions, the clip is not likely to fall out while the rider is riding.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2011Publication date: July 26, 2012Applicant: W.C.C., INC.Inventors: Darrel Wayne Osten, Lisa Jayne Reid
