Bicycle handle bar accessory mount

A handle bar accessory mounting assembly for a vehicle having a handle bar, said assembly comprising:

• an elongate generally rigid generally bar-shaped support member having a generally planar upper surface;
• an adjustable clamping mechanism on said support member, said mechanism including a fixed member fixed to said support member and a movable member for enabling retention of an accessory therebetween on said upper surface;
• first and second suspension members;
• means on first ends of said suspension members and the distal ends of said support member for adjustably attaching said distal ends of said support member to said first end of said suspension members, respectively;
• and
• means coacting with each of the other ends of said suspension members for mounting said assembly to the handle bar of said vehicle;
• said support member formed of a bar-shaped material of generally uniform thickness with the distal ends of said support member being of a reduced width to thus provide an enlarged main body portion intermediate said distal ends for support of accessories thereon;
• and
• said means on the distal ends of said support member for adjustably attaching said support member to said suspension members each comprising elongated slots formed therein on the longitudinal centerline of said support member.

A handle bar accessory mounting assembly for a vehicle having a handle bar, said assembly comprising:

• first and second clamp devices configured for attachment to the handle bar;
• an elongate generally bar-shaped support member having a generally planar upper surface with each of the distal ends of said support member providing a body portion having elongated slots therein on the longitudinal centerline thereof for support of accessories within said slots;
• an adjustable clamping mechanism on said support member, said mechanism including a fixed member fixed to said support member and a movable member for enabling retention of an accessory therebetween on said upper surface;
• first and second suspension members;
• means on first ends of said suspension members and the distal ends of said support member for adjustably attaching said first ends of said suspension members to said slots, respectively;
• means coacting with each of the other ends of said suspension members for attachment to said clamp devices for mounting said assembly to the handle bar of said vehicle.

A handle bar accessory mounting assembly for the handle bars of a cycle comprising:

• first and second clamp devices configured for attachment to the handle bar;
• an elongate generally bar-shaped support member having a generally planar upper surface with the distal ends thereof being configured to provide a main body portion for support of accessories thereon and with said main body portion including a slot transverse to the longitudinal centerline of said support member;
• an adjustable clamping mechanism on said support member, said mechanism including a fixed member and a movable member for enabling retention of an accessory therebetween on said upper surface;
• first and second suspension members;
• means on first ends of said suspension members and the distal ends of said support member for adjustably attaching said distal ends of said support member to said first ends of said suspension members, respectively;
• means coacting with each of the other ends of said suspension members for attachment to said clamp devices, respectively, for mounting said assembly to the handle bar of said vehicle;
• said fixed member is a plate attached to a longitudinal edge of said main body portion in perpendicular relation to said transverse slot,
• said movable member is configured with a guide tongue portion in sliding engagement within Said transverse slot;
• and
• said clamping mechanism further includes a manually operable threaded shaft member in threaded engagement with said guide tongue portion for enabling movement of said movable member in response to actuation of said shaft member.
