  • Patent number: 7942077
    Abstract: A handlebar assembly for a bicycle includes a handlebar tube, a sleeve, a clamping member and an end cap. Thus, the clamping plate of the end cap is clamped between any two of the clamping member, an end portion of the sleeve and an outer wall of the handlebar tube without obstructing the contact space between the clamping member and the outer wall of the handlebar tube so that the clamping member can directly clamp the handlebar tube completely or indirectly clamp the handlebar tube locally through the clamping plate of the end cap, thereby enhancing the clamping effect of the handlebar assembly.

  • Publication number: 20080276751
    Abstract: A bicycle handlebar grip includes an inner fiber layer and an outer plastic layer. Thus, the fiber layer is light and hard to reduce the weight and increase the structural strength of the bicycle handlebar grip, while the plastic layer is soft and has an adjustable thickness to provide a comfortable sensation to a user. In addition, the plastic layer includes a holding portion coated on the outer surface of the fiber layer, an engaging portion penetrating through the weaving gaps of the fiber layer, and a permeating portion extending through the weaving gaps of the fiber layer into the inner surface of the fiber layer to enhance the combination strength between the fiber layer and the plastic layer and to enhance the structural strength of the bicycle handlebar grip.

  • Publication number: 20080156139
    Abstract: A grip for a handlebar of a bicycle includes a rigid plastic inner shell, a soft plastic outer shell, two metallic clamps, and two locking bolts. Thus, when the metallic clamps are tightened by the locking bolts, the inner face of each of the metallic clamps presses the outer surface of the metallic handlebar completely to increase the contact area and to increase the friction, so that the grip is fixed on the metallic handlebar solidly and exactly.

  • Patent number: 7334499
    Abstract: A grip for the handlebar of a bicycle includes an inner tube provided with at least one mounting face and at least one protruding block, at least one flexible clamping member mounted on the mounting face of the inner tube and having two distal ends rested on the protruding block of the inner tube, and at least one locking bolt extended through one distal end of the clamping member and the protruding block and locked in the other distal end of the clamping member to compress the clamping member radially and inwardly. Thus, the metallic handlebar is clamped by the metallic clamping member so that the grip is clamped on the handlebar rigidly and stably, thereby preventing the grip from slipping from the handlebar.
