BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an auxiliary handle, and more particularly to an auxiliary handle which can be movably mounted on a handle of the exercise bike to simulate a bicycle handle.

2. Description of the Related Art

Poor weather, outdoor temperature and time of day are often factors that limit people from exercising. In the other hand, indoor exercise is not limited by climate and temperature, so people usually do not give up the idea of performing indoor exercise. Among indoor exercise fitness apparatuses, the apparatuses mainly used to train the lower body include, for example, treadmills, scooters and exercise bikes.

For example, Taiwan Utility Model Patents No. M562142 and M598171 and Taiwan Invention Patent No. 1587890, China Utility Model Patents No. CN210384705U and CN209596488U, and China Invention Patent No. CN107029393B. The aforementioned exercise bicycles have handles for users to grip, and some handles have a height adjustment function to fit with the users. However, some cycling enthusiasts cannot adapt to hand feeling of gripping on the handle of the exercise bike wrapped in foam when using indoor exercise bikes, and sweaty hand gripping the foam is prone to slide on the foam; the cycling enthusiasts are even more accustomed to the positions, shapes and hand feeling of the handles of the bicycle. Therefore, the handle of the conventional exercise bike still has shortcomings in use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides an auxiliary handle which can be movably mounted on a handle of an exercise bike, to provide a user to mount personal preference bicycle handle and bar end, so that the user can stably hold the handle during exercise bike stepping training.

In order to achieve the aforementioned objective and effect, the present invention provide an exercise bike auxiliary handle including a handlebar, a fastening part, a bicycle handle sleeve and a bar end. The handlebar includes a clamp part and a handlebar part. The handle part includes an extension section, a bent section and a lateral section, and two ends of the bent section are integrally connected to the extension section and the lateral section, and the lateral section includes a long part and a short part which are integrally connected to each other, and the long part is connected to the bent section. The fastening part is configured to clamp with the clamp part correspondingly, and the fastening part and the clamp part are assembled by a plurality of bolts. The bicycle handle sleeve is mounted on a peripheral side of the long part in an axial direction. The bar end includes an end mounted on a peripheral side of the short part.

Please refer toFIGS. 1 and 2. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2, an exercise bike auxiliary handle100for an includes a handlebar200, a fastening part300, a bicycle handle sleeve400and a bar end500. The handlebar200includes a clamp part210and a handlebar part220. The handle part220includes an extension section221, a bent section222and a lateral section223, and two ends of the bent section222are integrally connected to the extension section221and the lateral section223. The lateral section223includes a long part224and a short part225which are integrally connected to each other. The long part224is connected to the bent section222. A fastening part300is configured to clamp with the clamp part210correspondingly, and the fastening part300and the clamp part210are assembled by a plurality of bolts310. The bicycle handle sleeve400is mounted on a peripheral side of the long part224in an axial direction. A bar end500includes an end mounted on a peripheral side of the short part225. An extension direction of the bar end500is opposite to the direction of the extension section221.

The handlebar200is an approximately L-shaped member. The lateral section223is made with a diameter of a handle bar of regular bicycle, so that a user can select and mount the appropriate bicycle handle sleeve400and bar end500according to preference.

Please refer toFIGS. 3 and 4, which shows operations of mounting an exercise bike auxiliary handle of the present invention. When the grip posture and hand feeling of the original handle610of the exercise bike600is unsmooth for a user, the user can mount the exercise bike auxiliary handle100of the present invention on the exercise bike600. First, the user determines an appropriate position on the handle610of the exercise bike600, and then uses the fastening part300and the clamp part210to clamp around the circumferential side of the handle610, and inserts bolts310through the clamp part210to screw with the fastening part300in a direction from the clamp part210to the fastening part300, so that the fastening part300and the clamp part210are fastened with the screwing effect of the bolts310, to make the handlebar200movably clamp on the handle610by the clamp part210, the fastening part300and the bolts310. Therefore, the bicycle handle sleeve400and the bar end500can provide the hand-gripping tactile like a bicycle, and the user can grip the bicycle handle sleeve400and the bar end500to perform the lower body muscle training.

As shown inFIG. 5, the handlebar200can be adjusted to swing toward a front side or a back side of the exercise bike600before the bolts310are fastened, so as to adjust the handlebar200to an appropriate gripping position. For example, the right side ofFIG. 5indicates the front side of the exercise bike600, and the left side ofFIG. 5indicates the back side of the exercise bike600.

Details of features and assembly relationship of the components of the present invention are illustrated in detail in following paragraphs. The extension section221is roughly in a cone shape, and the extension section221is gradually extended from the bent section222to the clamp part210, so that the structural strength of the extension section221can be improved to resist the force applied in operation, to provide a better stable support for gripping operation.

In regard to detailed structures of the clamp part210and the fastening part300for clamping and fastening with the handle610of the exercise bike600, the clamp part210has an arc clamping surface211, and the fastening part300has an arc fastening surface301facing the arc clamping surface211. By fastening the arc clamping surface211and the arc fastening surface301on the circumferential side of the handle610of the exercise bike600, the clamp part210and the fastening part300can correspond to the shape of the circumferential side of the handle610and stably mount the exercise bike auxiliary handle100of the present invention on the exercise bike600.

The bicycle handle sleeve400includes a fastening part410and a holding part420, and the holding part420is made by rubber material and annularly disposed on a peripheral side of the fastening part410, so that the holding part420can provide a stable holding effect.

Furthermore, the fastening part300has a hole302outwardly cut through the arc fastening surface301. When the exercise bike auxiliary handle100is clamped with the handle610of the exercise bike600, the foam of the handle610is forced to deform and a part of the foam can be accommodated and restrained in the hole302, so as to improve the stability of the exercise bike auxiliary handle100clamped with the handle610.

Please refer toFIGS. 6 and 7. The exercise bike auxiliary handle100can further include a water bottle cage700. The water bottle cage700is fastened on the same sides of the extension section221and the bent section222by a plurality of screws701inserted therethrough. The screws701are screwed and fastened with the extension section221and the bent section222, so that the water bottle cage700can be used to place the water bottle702, and the user can conveniently drink water in the water bottle702to replenish lost water during exercise.
