Abstract
A device is designed to secure the front tube of the handlebar of a foldable scooter and is formed of a shaft rod, two clamping members, a wrenching rod, a lashing collar, and a stop nut. The device is pivotally fastened between the front tube of the handlebar and the folding mechanism of the foldable scooter. The clamping members are actuated by the wrenching rod to hold and push a press member of the shaft rod to press against the front tube, so as to prevent the handlebar of the scooter from swaying at the time when the scooter is in motion.
Claims7
A device for securing a front tube of a scooter, said device comprising:
- a shaft rod put through a through hole of an upright plate of a folding mechanism of the scooter, said shaft rod being provided at one end with an outer threaded portion, said shaft rod pressing against the outer side edge of the through hole of the upright plate;
- a press member provided with a through hole for fitting with said shaft rod, said press member being provided with a first press surface forming with the axial direction of said press member an angle smaller than 90 degrees;
- at least one clamping member provided axially with a through hole for fitting with said shaft rod such that said clamping member is located adjacent said press member, said clamping member having a press surface contiguous to said press member and in contact with said press surface of said press member;
- and
- a wrenching rod having an eccentric axial hole in which a pivoting element is disposed, with said pivoting element being engaged with said outer threaded portion of said shaft rod, thereby enabling said wrenching rod to actuate said shaft rod to displace whereby said wrenching rod is wrenched to cause said press member and said clamping member to push against each other such that said press member is moved to press against the front tube of the scooter, thereby preventing the handlebar of the scooter from swaying at the time when the scooter is in operation.
