Claims20
A kit for mounting an accessory on handgrips of a bicycle or motorcycle, comprising:
- a clamp to be mounted on handgrips of a bicycle or motorcycle including an outer surface and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather the respective inner surface on a handgrip,
- an accessory or guard arm enbloc with or fixed or removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said accessory,
- at least one element for connecting an accessory to said guard arm,
- at least two shims or spacers having a different thickness and/or shape one with respect to the other, so that the kit is suitable for making it possible to mount an accessory on two or more handgrips with shape and/or size different from one another.
A kit for mounting an accessory on handgrips or handlebars of a bicycle or motorcycle, comprising:
- a clamp to be mounted on a handgrip or on a handlebar of a bicycle or motorcycle including an outer and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather the respective inner surface on a handgrip or a handlebar,
- an accessory arm or guard arm removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said accessory,
- at least one element for connecting an accessory to said guard arm,
- said accessory arm and said clamp including mutual connecting components or portions, so that said accessory arm can be assembled/disassembled to/from said clamp due to such mutual connecting components or portions even after said clamp has been mounted on a handgrip or a handlebar owing to said at least one element for tightening and thus the assembly/disassembly step of said accessory arm or guard arm to/from said clamp is irrespective from the mounting/dismounting step of said clamp on a handgrip or a handlebar.
A bicycle or motorcycle including a handlebar as well as two handgrips mounted on such handlebar and at least one kit for mounting an accessory on one of said handgrips or on said handlebar, said at least one kit comprising:
- an accessory,
- a clamp mounted on one handgrip of the bicycle including an outer and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather the respective inner surface on one handgrip of the bicycle,
- an accessory or guard arm enbloc with or fixed or removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said accessory,
- at least one element for connecting an accessory to said guard arm,
- at least one shim or spacer at least partly mounted in said clamp.
A bicycle or motorcycle including a handlebar as well as two handgrips mounted on such handlebar and at least one kit for mounting an accessory on one of said handgrip or on said handlebar, said at least one kit comprising:
- at least one accessory,
- a clamp mounted on one handgrip or on the handlebar of the bicycle or motorcycle including an outer and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather the respective inner surface on one handgrip or the handlebar,
- an accessory arm or guard arm removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said accessory,
- at least one element for connecting an accessory to said guard arm,
- said accessory arm and said clamp including mutual connecting components or portions, so that said accessory arm can be assembled/disassembled to/from said clamp due to such mutual connecting components or portions even after said clamp has been mounted on the handgrip or handlebar owing to said at least one element for tightening and thus the assembly/disassembly step of said accessory arm or guard arm to/from said clamp is irrespective from the mounting/dismounting step of said clamp on the handgrip or handlebar.
