Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure good vibro-absorbing action and excellent appearance by supporting a simple handle holder, supporting symmetical handle bars, on an upper bracket locked to symmetical front forks via plural numbers of an elastic body. CONSTITUTION:Each of symmetical handle bards 10, 11 is supported on an upper bracket 13 of symmetical front forks 16, 17 via a simple handle holder 12. At this time, each of conical elastic bushes 14 consisting of rubber or the like each is fitted in both vertical surfaces of the upper bracket 13 in a connecting part of the handle holder 12 as a cushion body. Then, the handle holder 12 is floatingly connected to the upper bracket 13 by a bolt 15 piercing through each elastic bush 14. With this constitution, each vertical rocking motion of these handle bars 10, 11 is favorably controlled, while excellent appearance is thus improved with the simple handle holder.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a handle support device applied to a motorcycle having a separate type handlebar.

(Conventional technology) FIG. 6 illustrates a conventional handle support device.

In this handlebar support device, a left handlebar 1 and a right handlebar 2 are supported by an upper bracket 5 via separate handlebar holders 3 and 4, respectively.

The front and rear parts of the handle holders 3 and 4 are connected to the upper bracket 5 via bolts 6 and elastic bushings 7 shown in FIG.
It is absorbed by.

(Problems to be Solved by the Explanation) In order to increase the vibration absorption effect of the elastic bushing 7, the bushing 7 may be formed of a softer elastic material.

However, in the conventional device described above, if the elastic bushing 7 is made softer, the handlebar 1.2 easily swings in response to an external force in the vertical direction, which worsens the feeling of steering operation. .

Further, the conventional handle support device has handle holders 3 and 4.
Since they are arranged separately, they also have the disadvantage of not being aesthetically pleasing.

Note that FIG. 8 schematically shows a state in which the handlebar 2 is swung downward by an angle θ1.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of these conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a handle support device that can provide good vibration absorption and aesthetic appearance.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A handle support device according to the present invention includes a single handle holder that supports left and right handlebars, and the front and rear and left and right positions of this handle holder are connected to an upper bracket via an elastic body, respectively. and a means for supporting it.

(Function) According to the present invention, the steering force of the left and right handlebars is transmitted to the upper bracket via the single handle holder and the elastic body.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a handle support device according to the present invention.

In this handlebar support device, a left handlebar 10 and a right handlebar 11 are supported by an upper bracket 13 via a single handle holder 12.

The handle boulder 12 has substantially the same shape as the upper bracket 13, and is floatingly connected to the upper bracket 13 at each of its front and rear left and right positions.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, which is a cross-section of FIG. .14 are respectively fitted as cushion bodies, and the handle holder 1
2 is floatingly connected to the upper bracket 13 by bolts 15 passing through these elastic bushes 14.

Note that the left and right front forks 16 and 17 have their upper ends fixed to the upper bracket 13 by unillustrated opening means.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

Now, when the handlebar 11 is swung downward, for example, the elastic bushing 14 is deformed as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG.

As is clear from the comparison between the same figure and FIG. 8, according to the support device of this embodiment, even though the elastic bushing 14 is deformed by approximately the same width as the bushing 7 shown in FIG. , the swing angle θ2 of the handlebar 11 is considerably smaller than the angle θ1 shown in FIG.

Therefore, in the support device of this embodiment, the elastic bushing 14
Even when the steering wheel is made of soft material, the feeling of steering operation is not impaired.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the invention.

In this embodiment, the handle holder 12 is positioned at a symmetrical position on the longitudinal axis of the upper bracket 13.
Elastic pieces 18 made of rubber or the like are interposed between the lower surfaces of the upper brackets 1 to 13 and the upper surfaces of the upper brackets 1 to 13, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 5, which is a cross-section of FIG. 4 taken along line B--B, the lower portion of the elastic piece 18 is fitted into a recess 19 formed on the upper surface of the upper bracket.

According to this embodiment, 11θ of the handlebar 10.11
Swinging in the rearward direction is suppressed by the elastic piece.

[Effect of R Light] In the handle support device according to the present invention, since the handlebar is attached to a single handle holder, vertical swinging of the handlebar can be particularly suppressed.
Therefore, it is possible to improve the vibration absorbing effect by forming the vibration absorbing elastic body from a softer material than in the past.

Further, the support device of the present invention using 111 handle holders can improve the aesthetic appearance compared to the conventional device.
