DEVICE FOR SELECTIVE ROTATION OF VEHICULAR HANDLEBAR
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an engagement device configured to selectively engage a first elongated portion and a second elongated portion, with each other in such a way that the engagement device, in use, prevents the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from rotating relative to each other along a common axis once the engagement device, in use, selectively engages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other, in which the first elongated portion is configured to receive and support a vehicular handlebar, of a vehicle, and in which the vehicular handlebar has a handlebar axis extending therethrough, and in which the second elongated portion is configured to receive and support the first elongated portion, and in which the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion are configured to be coaxially aligned along the common axis, and in which the first elongated portion is configured to be slidably received, at least in part, in the second elongated portion; and
the engagement device also configured to selectively disengage the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from each other in such a way that the engagement device, in use, permits the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion to rotate relative to each other along the common axis once the engagement device, in use, selectively disengages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from each other; and
a clamp assembly configured to selectively clamp the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other once the engagement device, in use, selectively engages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other.

Abstract
Apparatus is for, or is included with, a vehicle having a vehicular handlebar, and also having first and second pipe portions. The first elongated portion is configured to receive and support a vehicular handlebar, and to be slidably received, at least in part, in the second elongated portion. An engagement device is configured to selectively engage the first and second pipe portions with each other. The engagement device, in use, prevents the first and second pipe portions from rotating relative to each other. The engagement device is also configured to selectively disengage the first and second pipe portions from each other. The engagement device, in use, permits the first and second pipe portions to rotate relative to each other. A clamp assembly is configured to selectively clamp the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an engagement device configured to selectively engage a first elongated portion and a second elongated portion, with each other in such a way that the engagement device, in use, prevents the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from rotating relative to each other along a common axis once the engagement device, in use, selectively engages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other, in which the first elongated portion is configured to receive and support a vehicular handlebar, of a vehicle, and in which the vehicular handlebar has a handlebar axis extending therethrough, and in which the second elongated portion is configured to receive and support the first elongated portion, and in which the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion are configured to be coaxially aligned along the common axis, and in which the first elongated portion is configured to be slidably received, at least in part, in the second elongated portion; and the engagement device also configured to selectively disengage the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from each other in such a way that the engagement device, in use, permits the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion to rotate relative to each other along the common axis once the engagement device, in use, selectively disengages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from each other; and a clamp assembly configured to selectively clamp the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other once the engagement device, in use, selectively engages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a vehicle having a vehicular handlebar, and also having a first elongated portion and a second elongated portion; and the first elongated portion configured to receive and support the vehicular handlebar having a handlebar axis extending therethrough; and the first elongated portion also configured to be slidably received, at least in part, in the second elongated portion; and the second elongated portion configured to receive and support the first elongated portion; and the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion configured to be coaxially aligned along a common axis; and an engagement device configured to selectively engage the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion, of the vehicle, with each other in such a way that the engagement device, in use, prevents the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from rotating relative to each other along the common axis once the engagement device, in use, selectively engages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other; and the engagement device also configured to selectively disengage the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from each other in such a way that the engagement device, in use, permits the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion to rotate relative to each other along the common axis once the engagement device, in use, selectively disengages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion from each other; and a clamp assembly configured to selectively clamp the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other once the engagement device, in use, selectively engages the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other.
