Abstract
A structure restraining movement of a handle of a children's cycle comprises a handle, a frame, a cover and a block. The handle has a bolt and a nut. The frame comprises a strut at the front end. Both the cover and block comprise a hole at their center portion thereof, whereas the cover is secured to the handle and the block is secured to the strut of the frame. By inserting the bolt through the holes of the cover and the block, the handle and the frame are pivoted and secured together with the nut from the other end. This secures the handle to the frame of the cycle and allows the handle to turn with respect to the frame. Whereas a stud protruding from the cover seats in an arc slot of the block, which restrains the stud to go any further when it has reached to the two ends of the arc slot, this also restrains the handle to turn to a certain position.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a handle of a children's cycle, and more particularly, to a handle which restrains the turning movement of the handle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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.
In view of this, the inventor has invented the present invention to improve the above-mentioned shortcoming.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a structure restraining turning of a handle of a children's cycle, which is safe for children to ride the cycle.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a structure restraining turning of a handle of a children's cycle, which is easy to operate.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a structure restraining turning of a handle of a children's cycle, which is easy to install.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
A structure restraining turning movement of the handle of a children's cycle comprises a handle
1
, a frame
2
, a cover
3
and a block
4
.
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
.
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.
Claims
