Abstract: A handlebar, particularly for cycles, such as, for example, bicycles, is of the type including formations for supporting the cyclist's elbows. The support formations are mounted on the rear ends of side elements of the handlebar which project rearwardly and outwardly from the main cross member of the handlebar which is intended to be connected to the steering column. When the cyclist grips the front ends of the handlebar, he can thus rest his elbows in the formations, keeping his elbows spaced apart in a position generally to the rear of the cross member of the handlebar. The preferred application of the handlebar is to sports cycles.

Abstract: A bicycle handlebar comprises a substantially straight central part for connection to the steering column of the bicycle and two lateral handles which curve downwardly with a general concavity intended to face rearwardly in use. Each lateral handle has a central portion which of the concavity is intended to support the cyclist's hand and is curved in the opposite sense from the remaining parts of the concavity of the handle.

Abstract: A bicycle handlebar attachment includes a stem adapted at one end for connection to the head tube and having an eyelet at its opposite end for receiving the handlebar crossbar. The eyelet is divided by a slit into two jaws, one of which defines a threaded blind hole and the other of which has a partially-threaded through-hole aligned with the blind hole for receiving a screw for clamping the jaws together to tighten the eyelet on the crossbar. When the screw is released from the blind hole, an abutment plate can be inserted in the slot and the screw tightened aginast it to force the jaws apart to allow the crossbar to be inserted in or removed from the eyelet.

Abstract: Cycle handlebars include a transverse element which can be connected centrally to a steering pillar and has two side extensions which extend forwardly and converge inwardly of the handlebars. Two further extensions extend upwardly from the side extensions and are connectd by a further transverse element. The handlebars, which preferably have a generally loop-like configuration, thus provide at least four different gripping portions.

Abstract: Bicycle handlebar which are intended to be coupled, in use, to at least one auxiliary element, such as a support element or a brake-operating lever, in a selectively adjustable coupling position is provided with a graduated scale in correspondence with the region of coupling to the at least one auxiliary element for the selective determination of the coupling position.

Abstract: A saddle pillar member for cycles, comprising a cylindrical portion intended to be slidably inserted into a tube of the cycle frame and able to be locked in a selectively determined position within this tube by a clamping action exerted on the external surface of the cylindrical portion, and consisting of a metal core having peripheral parts which appear the external surface of the cylindrical portion, and a mass of plastics material applied to this core to complete the cylindrical portion.

Abstract: An attachment device for elements of bicycle handlebars includes a gripping part constituted essentially by two jaws together defining an aperture for receiving the handlebars. The jaws have respective first ends which face each other and are hinged together and respective second ends which also face each other and between which acts a clamping screw able to move the second ends together and consequently clamp the handlebar within the aperture. The respective first ends are substantially flat and have at least one auxiliary hinge member extending so as to connect the respective first ends.

Abstract: The device comprises an abutment member which has seats for engaging the two rods of the saddle frame from above and is coupled to the head of the saddle pillar so as to be rotatable about a transverse axis of rotation perpendicular to the two rods but not movable vertically, and a thrust plate which engages the two rods of the saddle from below. A pair of screws is screwed substantially vertically through the head of the saddle pillar on the two sides of the transverse axis of rotation with their ends engaging the lower surface of the thrust plate, to cause clamping of the rods of the saddle against the seats of the abutment member as a result of the upward thrust exerted by the screws on the thrust plate, and to allow adjustment of the inclination of the saddle by the tightening of one of the screws and the loosening of the other.

Abstract: In a handlebar comprising an elongate handle arm and a boss which supports the central part of the arm, the boss has an aperture with a generally channel-shaped region for receiving the central part of the arm, and a pressure body is mounted in the aperture for selective movement into a thrust position against the central part of the arm to press the central part into the generally channel-shaped region of the aperture so as to clamp the arm relative to the boss.
