Abstract
A bicycle grip, comprising a grip element that has a support part, a holding element and a spring element, wherein the spring element and the holding element can be arranged inside a steering tube of a bicycle handlebar, wherein the spring element can be non-rotatably connected to the holding element and the grip element such that, when the support part exerts force against a spring force of the spring element, a rotational movement of the grip element can be performed around the tube central axis of the steering tube.
Claims20
A bicycle handlebar grip, comprising:
- a grip element having a tubular hollow;
- a substantially tubular body;
- a mount fixedly connected to said tubular body;
- and
- a torsional spring, wherein
- said torsional spring is fixed to said mount,
- said tubular body extends into said tubular hollow,
- said torsional spring extends along a central longitudinal axis of said tubular body,
- said grip element is asymmetric relative to a longitudinal axis of said tubular hollow,
- said grip element is interconnected to said tubular body via said torsional spring such that a rotational displacement of said grip element relative to said tubular body effects a torsion of said torsional spring.

A bicycle handlebar grip, comprising:
- a grip element having a tubular hollow;
- a substantially tubular body;
- a torsional spring;
- a screw, a longitudinal axis of said screw being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said torsional spring;
- and
- a spring adjustment element for adjusting a stiffness of said torsional spring, wherein
- said tubular body extends into said tubular hollow,
- said torsional spring is a torsion rod that extends along a central longitudinal axis of said tubular body,
- said grip element is asymmetric relative to a longitudinal axis of said tubular hollow,
- said grip element is interconnected to said tubular body via said torsional spring such that a rotational displacement of said grip element relative to said tubular body effects a torsion of said torsional spring,
- said spring adjustment element is slidably situated within said tubular body, and
- a rotation of said screw effecting a sliding of said spring adjustment element, which sliding effects an adjustment of said stiffness of said torsional spring.

A bicycle handlebar grip, comprising:
- a grip element having a tubular hollow;
- a substantially tubular body;
- a torsional spring;
- a mount;
- and
- a block slidably situated in said tubular body, wherein
- said torsional spring is fixedly connected to said tubular body via said mount,
- said tubular body extends into said tubular hollow,
- said torsional spring is a torsion rod that extends along a central longitudinal axis of said tubular body,
- said grip element is asymmetric relative to a longitudinal axis of said tubular hollow,
- said grip element is interconnected to said tubular body via said torsional spring such that a rotational displacement of said grip element relative to said tubular body effects a torsion of said torsional spring, and
- a sliding of said block relative to said tubular body alters a stiffness of said torsional spring by altering a free length of said torsional spring.
