Description:FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure generally relates to a handlebar assembly of a two-wheeler, and more particularly, to a switch assembly disposed on the handlebar assembly of the two-wheeler.

BACKGROUND

The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

A handlebar of a two-wheeler is used to provide easy access to controls of the two-wheeler to a rider and can further be used to steer the two-wheeler in a required direction. The handlebar usually has of a horizontal bar which is mounted on a steering column of the two-wheeler.

A switch assembly is used to control electrical components of the two-wheeler, such as headlights, turning indicators, horns, are generally mounted on the handlebar of a two-wheeler via one or more fasteners. The switch assembly is fixed on the handlebar via screws or fasteners that require special tools for assembly or disassembly of the same. In case the switch assembly is not fastened securely, the switch may move, rotate, or completely detach from the two-wheeler while the two-wheeler is moving. Further, the movement or rotation of the switch assembly from the handlebar may cause inaccurate operation of switches, distraction for the rider, and delayed or faulty response to changing route conditions. The complete detachment of the switch assembly from the handlebar may cause the rider to completely lose the ability to control crucial functionality of various components of the two-wheeler.

In addition, a plurality of wires which connects the switch assembly to the electrical components pass through the handlebar and gets continuously rubbed against the accelerator thereby leading to the wear and tear of the wires. The possibility of the wires getting damaged is very high. Also, the wear and tear of the wires can result in short circuits and poor connections which may cause loss of functionality of the switches on the switch assembly, thus compromising the two-wheeler’s operation and safety.

Therefore, the switch assembly for the handlebar of the two-wheeler is desired that prevents the wear and tear of the wires and is easy to assemble and disassemble without affecting the overall operating characteristics of the accelerator or other operating parameters of the two-wheeler.

The above-mentioned drawbacks/difficulties/disadvantages of the conventional techniques are explained just for exemplary purposes and this disclosure and description mentioned below would never limit its scope only such a problem. A person skilled in the art may understand that this disclosure and below mentioned description may also solve other problems or overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks/disadvantages of the conventional arts which are not explicitly captured above.

The second bracket 242 includes a frame 302 having a plurality of members to facilitate the mounting of the second bracket 242 proximate to the second longitudinal sidewall 130 the first portion 110. Additionally, the frame 302 includes a second lock 304 adapted to engage with the first lock 268 of the clamping element 244. In addition, the second bracket 242 includes a limiting element 306 coupled to the frame 302 to restrict the downward movement of the flexible U-shaped clamp 296 and prevent any vibration or accidental opening of the flexible U-shaped clamp 296. In an embodiment, the first bracket 140 and the second bracket 242 is integrated into the first portion 110. In another embodiment, the second bracket 242 is fastened to the first portion 110. In an example, the second bracket 242 is made of a moulding process such as injection moulding, diecasting, or any other 3-d printing technique.

The switch assembly 104, and 204 eliminate the use of fasteners and additional assembly components for installation of the switch assembly 104, 204 with the handlebar assembly 100 of the two-wheeler. Further, the switch assembly 104, 204 includes the clamping element 144, 244 the lock assembly 114 having the channels 164, 264 to route the wires of the switch assembly 104, 204 to prevent any breakage or any wear and tear of the wires thereby prolonging the life of the switch assembly 104, 204.

a second end (158, 258) extending from a distal end of the arc section (160, 260), the second end (158, 258) comprises at least one of:
a flexible U-shaped clamp (296) of the first lock (268) having a locking element (300) to clamp with the second bracket (242) with the clamping element (244), and a lever (298) extending from the distal end of the flexible U-shaped clamp (296) and adapted to receive a user input to operate the flexible U-shaped clamp (296); and
a pin clamp (170) of the first lock (168) protruding axially outwardly from the second end (158) having a neck portion (172) to clamp with the second bracket (142) with the clamping element (144).

5. The switch assembly (104, 204) as claimed in claim 2 and 4, wherein the clamping element (144, 244) includes a protruding member (166, 266) extending axially inward from the arc section (160, 260), wherein the protruding member (166, 266) is adapted to lock the throttle grip (116).

6. The switch assembly (104, 204) as claimed in claim 1 and 5, wherein the clamping element (144, 244) includes at least one channel (164, 264) disposed along a curved surface of the arc section (160, 260) and adapted to
receive a plurality of wires, and
prevent contact between the wires and the throttle grip (116).

7. The switch assembly (204) as claimed in claim 4, wherein the second bracket (242) comprises:
a frame (302) having the second lock (304); and
a limiting element (306) coupled to the frame (302) and to restrict the downward movement of the flexible U-shaped clamp (296) therebeyond;
wherein
the second lock (304) and the limiting element (306) are adapted to prevent relative movement of the flexible U-shaped clamp (296) relative to the frame (302).

8. The switch assembly (104, 204) as claimed in claim 4, wherein the second bracket (142) comprises:
a frame (180) having the second lock (182); and
a coupler (184) of the second lock (182) extending outwardly from the frame (180), the coupler (184) comprising:
a first arm (186);
a second arm (188) disposed parallel and spaced apart from the first arm (186), wherein the first arm (186) and the second arm (188) are joined along a respective first ends (190) and are disposed spaced apart along respective opposite ends (192); and
a central portion (194) defining an opening extending between the first arm (186) and the second arm (188) to facilitate the resting of the neck portion (172) of the pin clamp (170), wherein the two arms (186, 188) are separated to unlock the pin clamp (170).

9. The switch assembly (104, 204) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first bracket (140) and the second bracket (142, 242) are integrated to the first portion (110).

10. The switch assembly (104, 204) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first bracket (140) and the second bracket (142, 242) are fastened to the first portion (110).
