Abstract

A holder for a handlebar of a bicycle in accordance with the present invention includes a connecting bar having a first end secured on a stem of a bicycle and a second end having a loop attached the connecting bar. The loop is provided to receive a handlebar of a bicycle and having an axis inclined relative to and forming an acute angle with that of the stem of a bicycle. A quick release device extends through the connecting bar and is mounted on the connecting bar to selectively hold the handlebar of a bicycle in place.

Claims

1. A holder for a handlebar of a bicycle comprising:

a connecting bar having a first end adapted to be secured on a stem of a bicycle and a second end having a loop attached the connecting bar, the loop adapted to receive a handlebar of a bicycle and having an axis adapted to be inclined relative to and forming an acute angle with that of the stem of a bicycle; and

a quick release device extending through the connecting bar and mounted on the connecting bar to be adapted to selectively hold the handlebar of a bicycle in place.

2. The holder for a handlebar of a bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the acute angle is five degrees.

3. The holder for a handlebar of a bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the loop comprises a slit defined in a periphery and extending through the periphery of the loop, and two ears respectively laterally extending from the periphery of the loop near two opposite sides of the slit, the two ears corresponding to each other and each having a through hole defined to align with each other, the quick release device extending through the two through of the ears to narrow a width of the slit and adapted to hole the handlebar of a bicycle in place.

4. The holder for a handlebar of a bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting comprises two parallel plates each having a first end adapted to be secured on the stem of a bicycle and a second end, the loop attached to the second end of the two plates and having a slit defined between the two plates, the quick release device extending through the two plates and mounted on the connecting bar to narrow a width of the two parallel plates and a width of the slit and adapted to hole the handlebar of a bicycle in place.

5. The holder for a handlebar of a bicycle as claimed in claim 2, wherein the loop comprises a slit defined in a periphery and extending through the periphery of the loop, and two ears respectively laterally extending from the periphery of the loop near two opposite sides of the slit, the two ears corresponding to each other and each having a through hole defined to align with each other, the quick release device extending through the two through of the ears to narrow a width of the slit and adapted to hole the handlebar of a bicycle in place.

6. The holder for a handlebar of a bicycle as claimed in claim 2, wherein the connecting comprises two parallel plates each having a first end adapted to be secured on the stem of a bicycle and a second end, the loop attached to the second end of the two plates and having a slit defined between the two plates, the quick release device extending through the two plates and mounted on the connecting bar to narrow a width of the two parallel plates and a width of the slit and adapted to hole the handlebar of a bicycle in place.
