The present disclosure generally relates to the field of automobiles. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a switch for handlebar of a vehicle. Further, the embodiments of the present disclosure disclose the construction and mechanism of the switch for handlebar of a vehicle.
BACKGROUND
Generally, vehicles such as, but not limited two wheelers are equipped with a handlebar and one or more switches are mounted on the handlebar. The switch comprises a first case and a second case wherein the first case and the second case define a portion to accommodate the handlebar and the switch may be mounted on the either side off the handlebar by conventional method. The switch may be provided for controlling the various functions of the vehicle such as controlling the lighting system, giving indication to other riders, initiating the ignition and several other purposes.
However, multifarious problems are associated with the mounting of the existing switch by using conventional method of assembling. The switch position does not locate on handlebar and, there is a free play between handlebar and switch. As shown in Figure 1, no locater is provided in the switch to positioning the switch with handlebar to stop the switch on a certain position as per requirement. Moreover, the metallic stopper in insert molded in case front/rear or inbuilt in same material to stop the switch on a certain position so because of fixed type pin, it has always minor gaps from handlebar and a play is observed between the switch and the handlebar, as shown in Figure 2.
There are some switches in the prior art which can be mounted on the handlebar by several ways. Firstly, the patent application no. US20200062332 discloses a handlebar switch device having a positioning hole 31 for positioning a first left handlebar switch

case 20A is formed in the left handlebar 17L. The positioning hole 31 is formed in a rear wall of the left handlebar 17L, and a pin 32 extending through the rear arc portion 29a of the second metal fitting 29 is inserted through the positioning hole 31, thus retaining the second metal fitting 29. Consequently, the first and second metal fittings 28 and 29 are provided at a fixed position with respect to the left handlebar 17L. Further, another patent application no. US20130256103 provides a handlebar switch for a motorcycle that achieves reduction in size of a switch case, while enhancing a degree of freedom in layout of a plurality operating and other types of switches. The handlebar switch includes a switch case, a plurality of operating switches and a substrate. The switch case includes case half bodies, joined together across a handlebar, and the plurality of operating switches such as a horn switch, protruding from the switch case. The substrate is disposed inside the switch case in a position substantially orthogonal to a direction of an axis of the handlebar, and the substrate having a plurality of contacts for generating electric signals in a manner operatively associated with an operation of the operating switch.
One more patent application no. US20020014565 discloses a handlebar switch mounting structure wherein the lock pin 74 is inserted into the hole 75 of the first bracket 70, as shown in FIG. 6(a). The lock pin 74 is integrally installed to the hole 75 of the first bracket 70 by spot welding. In the present state, the first bracket 70 is moved in the direction of the arrow 1 enclosed in a circle. Then, with the circular portion 71 placed on the lower half of the periphery of the handlebar pipe 34, the lock pin 74 is inserted into the hole 39a of the boss 39 as indicated by the arrow 2 enclosed in a circle. Moreover, the patent application no. US20130105285 provides a handle switch wherein the front-side front half 40 is provided with a cylindrical positioning projection 46 projecting toward the vehicle body rear side. The positioning projection 46 is disposed on the inner side relative to the clamp surface 40C. At the time of mounting the handle switch 30 to the handlebar 14, the fastening screws 45 are tightened in the

condition where the positioning projection 46 is engaged with a positioning hole formed in the handlebar 14.
None of the above-mentioned prior arts provide any switch with a self-adjustable plunger to locate the assembling position of the switch on the handlebar. Accordingly, the aim of the present disclosure is to develop a switch for a handlebar that can overcome one or more problems associated with the existing switch assemblies.

The clamp assembly (5) further comprises a mounting provision (14), a plurality of holes (15), a threaded hole/throughout hole (16) configured for mounting the clamp screw (12) and a clamp slit (17) for flexibility to griping on handlebar (4). The switch (100) comprises an adjustable pin assembly configured to be mounted in the groove (6). In an embodiment, the clamp assembly (5) is made up of suitable plyometric and/or metallic material.
Referring to Figure 4, the handlebar (4) is adapted to accommodate the one or more components of the vehicle. The handlebar (4) is configured to be inserted inside the hollow of the switch (100). The shape of the hollow and handlebar (4) is identical. The

handlebar (4) comprises a hole (11) or a slot configured to accommodate the plunger (9) of the switch (100) disposed in the groove (6).
Referring to Figures 5, 6 and 7, the adjustable pin assembly comprises a stopper plate (7), a spring (8), a plunger (9), and a plunger housing (10). The stopper plate (7) in configured to support the plunger housing (10) wherein the plunger housing (10) is adapted to accommodate the plunger and the spring disposed between the plunger (9) and stopper plate (7). The spring is configured to provide a resilient application force to the plunger (9). Moreover, the plunger is configured to be moved back and forth direction, axially within the vicinity of plunger housing (10). The plunger has a tapper portion (18) provided on the front surface of the plunger and a threaded portion (19) on the rear surface of the plunger (9), as shown in Figure 9. The plunger (9) may a stopper pin or adjustable threaded pin so terms "plunger" and "stopper pin" are used alternatively.
The plunger (9) is a self-locating stopper pin as plunger (9) is configured to engaged to in the hole (11) of the handlebar (4) at the exact assembling location. For assembly of the switch on the handlebar, there is a need to slide the switch on the handlebar (4) till its exact assembling location. The plunger is supported by the spring so once the switch is sliding on the handlebar, then the plunger (9) is more pressurizes against the handlebar (4) due to application force of the spring. Further, the application force is released by locating the plunger (9) on the hole (11) of the handlebar by haptics. The operator is confirmed for exact switch location as the plunger (9) moves inside the hole (11) with auditory feedback and the position of the plunger (9) inside the hole (11) restricts the movement of the switch around the handlebar. Moreover, an adjustable fastener screw (13) is tightening in the mounting provision (14) till the plunger (9) resting on the hole (11) of the handlebar (4) to fix the switch with handlebar (4). The

switch is not opening by during vehicle assembly or end user assembly, so its originality is also not disturbed.
The switch (100) of the present disclosure, has a plunger (9) that is a self-locating sopper pin as the plunger is configured to engaged to in the hole of the handlebar at the exact assembling location wherein the application force is released by locating the plunger on a hole of the handlebar by haptics. The operator is confirmed for exact switch location as the plunger (9) moves inside the hole with auditory feedback and the position of the plunger (9) inside the hole (11) restricts the movement of the switch around the handlebar (4). Therefore, the switch (100) of the present disclosure can be easily located on the handlebar (4) with auditory feedback and/or haptics which eliminates the free play between the handlebar (4) and the switch (100), so there are no rattling sounds coming from handlebar (4) during driving the vehicle. The switch (100) can be mounted on the handlebar (4) without any additional parts, so no change is required in handlebar (4). The switch (100) of the present disclosure can be easily assembled and disassembled on handlebar without opening of switch.
