ABSTRACT:
A handlebar clamping device includes a clamping body, a conventional C-clamp for clamping the body to a vertical steerer tube on the steering fork of the bicycle, and a recessed clamping surface for clamping the body to the handlebar. The recessed area of the body of the clamp includes a first semi-cylindrical clamping surface situated between a pair of tapered inner walls. The device further includes a cover member which has two outwardly projecting prongs which define a second semi-circular clamping surface, and further define a pair of tapered outward walls. The outward protruding prongs on the cover member are inserted into the recessed area of the clamping body so that the first and second tapered outer walls are in opposing surface to surface contact with the first and second tapered inner walls on the clamping body, respectively. The handlebar is clamped in place between the first and second semi-cylindrical clamping surfaces, and the opposing tapered walls cause the protruding prongs to also become compressed against the outer circumference of the handlebar.
