Description
Utility model field [001] The present utility model is a handlebar for motor vehicles with an integrated helmet lock, characterized by being composed of a tubular structure of resistant material (1); a central crossbar integrated into the handlebar (2) characterized by containing a rotating cylindrical locking system (3), positioned on the central crossbar integrated into the handlebar (2); a cable of resistant material (4) embedded in the cylinder of resistant material (8), designed to be released by the end of the tip (5); a numerical padlock (6) coupled to the rotating cylindrical locking system (3) which is released by means of a cylinder locking button (7). This technology is situated in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Fundamentals of the utility model [002] Helmets are mandatory for motorcyclists, helping to prevent impacts in the event of accidents. In addition, the visor protects the eyes and face from rain, insects, dust, and other debris. However, many motorcycles do not have space to store the helmet when the rider parks and needs to go somewhere else. This forces the motorcyclist to carry the helmet with them, which can be uncomfortable and increase the risk of forgetting it. If the motorcyclist chooses to leave the helmet on the motorcycle instead of carrying it, there is also a risk of theft. [003] According to the Public Security Map, there were 228,216 vehicle thefts in 2022. In 2023, this number decreased to 219,797, resulting in an average of 602 occurrences per day. Furthermore, 2022 registered the highest number of vehicle robberies in the last four years, with a total of 147,231 occurrences, marking a record for this period. These data indicate that, on average, 364 vehicles were stolen per day in the country. In 2023, the vehicle robbery rate in Brazil was 111.73 cases per 100,000 vehicles, a decrease compared to the 2022 rate, which was 127.9 cases per 100,000 vehicles. [004] To solve these problems, a motorcycle handlebar with an integrated helmet lock was created. This utility model consists of a carbon steel handlebar with a rotating cylindrical locking system on the central crossbar. This lock is responsible for dislodging a tip with a cable made of resistant material, where the helmet is secured by the chin area. To release the resistant material cable and secure the helmet, it is necessary to align the numerical lock with the factory-supplied code, allowing the resistant material cable to be released and the helmet to be secured. [005] On the market, there are several accessories that can be attached to motorcycles to lock the helmet, eliminating the need to carry it everywhere. However, existing patents refer to additional accessories fixed to the motorcycle. Unlike these, the product in question is an integral component of the vehicle, as it is a handlebar that already incorporates the helmet locking function. [006] It is noted that safety devices for helmets already exist, including those attached to the handlebars. However, the inventive activity can be framed in the characteristic of the described equipment being an integral component of the vehicle, and not just an accessory that can be attached, in addition to presenting an unconventional way of locking the helmet, carried out through an embedded steel cable. Among the patents found, number PI0901268 is the one that has the greatest similarity, since it is also a component and not an accessory. However, the equipment of the aforementioned patent has different construction processes, parts and operation from that analyzed, despite sharing the same objective of helmet protection. [006] The utility model in question would help prevent theft, since the handlebar lock makes it more difficult to remove the helmet from vehicles. Often, helmets are left on the motorcycle or handlebar without adequate protection. This system provides practicality and convenience, facilitating the storage of the helmet when not in use and eliminating the need to carry it. In addition, it saves space on the motorcycle, avoiding the need for extra luggage racks or bags. [007] In addition to protecting the helmet against theft, the system also prevents damage, minimizing the risk of falls or scratches when the helmet is carried or left on the motorcycle. Everyday convenience is increased, eliminating the need for additional padlocks or locks, which can be forgotten or lost. Brief description of the drawings [008] Figure 1 shows the side view.
