Abstract
A device for adjusting the angular position of a control lever (3) articulator to a collar (6) applicable to one end of a handlebar (2) for motorcycles and the like, in which the collar (6) comprises a stationary portion (8) and a movable portion (11) bearing the control lever (3) and normally coupled torsionally to the stationary portion (8). The movable portion (11) can be axially moved away from the stationary portion (8), against the action of an elastic thrust member (16), to enable to rotate and hence change the angular position of the control lever (3) even with the motorcycle in motion.
Claims7
A device for adjusting the angular position of a control lever (3) for a vehicle having a handlebar (2), in which said control lever (3) is articulated to a collar (6) which can be applied on an end part of said handlebar (2), said collar (6) comprising a stationary portion (8), a movable portion (11) bearing said control lever (3) and displaceable axially and angularly relative to said stationary portion (8), and torsional coupling means (14, 15) for locking in rotation said movable portion (11) relative to said stationary portion (8) under the action of axial thrust elastic means (16);
- said torsional coupling means (14, 15) being disengageable as a result of an axial move away of said movable portion (11) relative to said stationary portion (8) against the action of said elastic thrust means (16).
