BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a handlebar fixing device of a motorized cart and more particularly to a shifter being able to be shifted quickly to fix a handlebar.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
A conventional way to fix a folded handlebar of a motorized cart in position is usually designed aiming only at facilitating packaging or storing either by using a rope or a tape to fasten the handlebar on the cart frame or by forming a joint enabling the handlebar to fold and hook to the frame thereof. Although conventional ways work well, deficiencies of unstable fixing effect can be happened.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates a handlebar fixing device of a motorized cart including a head tube, a connection tube, a handlebar, a holder, a spring, and a rod.
By pressing down the handlebar, a stopper thereof on the lateral will press the rod down to a groove of the head tube, thereby restraining the handlebar from moving right or left. With the stopper pressing tightly the rod and also a locking rod of a shifter structure of the connection tube being pushed to the lateral of the handlebar by a shifter of the shifter structure, thereby prevents the handlebar from moving up or down.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 The present invention relates to a handlebar fixing device of a motorized cart including a head tube 10, a connection tube 20, a handlebar 30, a holder 40, a spring 50, and a rod 60, wherein
- the head tube 10 having a hole 11 formed on the upper section and a L-shaped seat 12 with a groove 13 formed on the lower section;
- the connection tube 20, for connecting to the head tube 10, having a base 21 formed on the top, wherein a shifter 221, a spring 222, and a locking rod 223 formed a shifter structure 22;
- the handlebar 30 having a fan-shaped connection plate 31 formed on the lower section, wherein holes 32 formed thereon, a stopper 33 formed on the lateral and a bolting hole 34 for connecting to the base 21 of the connection tube 20 through a bolt 35 formed on the lower section;
- the holder 40 being formed above the seat 12 of the head tube 10 and having a hollow 41 formed in the length direction;
- the spring 50 being formed in the hollow 41 of the holder 40;
- the rod 60 having a section extending inside the spring 50 and a section outside thereof.
Referring to FIG. 3. The shifter 221 of the shifter structure 22 connects to the locking rod 223 and further to the hole 32 of the handlebar 30, thereby fixing the handlebar 30 firmly in position, wherein the rod 60 being in a un-pressed natural position. Referring to FIG. 4. By pressing down the handlebar 30 in a direction shown, the stopper 33 on the lateral of the connection plate 31 will then press the rod 60 down to the groove 13 of the head tube 10, thereby restraining the handlebar 30 from moving right or left. With the stopper 33 on the lateral of the connection plate 31 pressing tightly the rod 60 and the locking rod 223 of the shifter structure 22 being pushed out to the lateral of the handlebar 30 by the shifter 221 of the shifter structure 22, the handlebar 30 thereby being restrained from moving up or down.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiment described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
