Abstract: System and method for detachable handlebars. Specifically, the handlebars are independent the bicycle; the handlebar locking shaft may include a tapered first end corresponding to a stem portion configured to receive this tapered end. This, in conjunction with a non-clamping coupling allows a user quickly and simply engage and disengage the handlebars while also preserving a strong connection without the handlebar sliding, rotating, disengaging, or otherwise moving the user in on the bicycle. The embodiment disclosed in accordance with the present invention may generally exploit a key located on the locking shaft and a slot system to axially bias the handlebars into a locked and unlocked positions. This system and method generally avoid the use of compression mechanisms in favor of the tapered first end of the locking shaft of the handlebar portion, where such mechanisms would generally be necessary for the security and easy movement of the handlebars.
Abstract: System and method for fixing detachable handlebars to a mount. Specifically, the mount is independent the handlebars; the mount may include structure, corresponding to the handlebars that comprises a coupling that allows for the mount to quickly and simply engage and disengage the handlebars while also maintaining the coupling free from sliding, rotating, disengaging, or otherwise moving while mounted. In the present arrangement the mount includes a front plate, corresponding receiver shaft assembly including the aforementioned structure, and a mount bracket. The mount bracket may contain structure allowing for the mount to be coupled to any surface that can support the weight of the mount and handlebars. The assembly disclosed in accordance with the present invention may generally exploit several compression mechanisms to bias a series of keys into a locking position to secure the handlebars attachment to the mount. Other embodiments are also included.
Abstract: System and method for detachable handlebars and fixing said handlebars onto a mount are presented. Specifically, the handlebars are independent the bicycle and mount; in some arrangements, the handlebar locking shaft may include a non-clamping connection that allows for the handlebars to attach to the bicycle quickly and easily and to prevent the handlebars from sliding, rotating, disengaging, or otherwise moving while a user is on the bicycle. The non-threaded assembly disclosed in accordance with the present invention may generally exploit several compression mechanisms to bias a series of keys into a locking position to secure the handlebars attachment to the bicycle or mount. Other embodiments are also included.
