Title: Structure restraining movement of a handle of a children&#39;s cycle

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001] This invention relates to a handle of a children&#39;s cycle, and more particularly, to a handle which restrains the turning movement of the handle.  
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0002] There are plenty of bicycles or tricycles for children to play with. All these models do not confine the turning movement of the handle, which makes the cycle more maneuverability, however, if the child makes a wide turn, the child will lose the balance and cause an accident.  
       [0003] In view of this, the inventor has invented the present invention to improve the above-mentioned shortcoming.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0004] It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a structure restraining turning of a handle of a children&#39;s cycle, which is safe for children to ride the cycle.  
       [0005] It is another object of the present invention to provide a structure restraining turning of a handle of a children&#39;s cycle, which is easy to operate.  
       [0006] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a structure restraining turning of a handle of a children&#39;s cycle, which is easy to install.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
     [0011] A structure restraining turning movement of the handle of a children&#39;s cycle comprises a handle  1 , a frame  2 , a cover  3  and a block  4 .  
     [0012] The handle  1  comprises a bolt  11  and a nut  12 . The frame  2  comprises a strut  21  at the front end. The cover  3  has a hole  31  at the center thereof and a stud  32  protruding from the cover  3 . The block  4  comprises a hole  41  at the center portion, and an arc slot  42  with a notch  43  at the front of the slot  42  corresponding to the stud  32  of the cover  3 .  
     [0013] To assemble, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cover  3  is secured to the handle  1  and the block  4  is secured to the strut  21  of the frame  2 . The bolt  11  is inserted through the holes  31  and  41  of the cover  3  and the block  4  and secured with the nut  12  at the other end. The handle  1  is pivoted to the frame  2 , and the stud  32  is located in the arc slot  42  of the block  4 , as shown in FIG. 4. By turning the handle  1 , the stud  32  will move along with the handle  1 . However, upon reaching the two ends of the arc slot  42 , the turning movement will be stopped to confine the handle  1  from further turning.
