ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a steering handle device for jet-propelled small-sized boats of the type in which: structurally, the stern of the boat is adapted for use as a floor deck on which the rider stands, with an engine mounted on the front portion of the floor deck; a handle post is pivotally connected at its front or lower end to the bow of the boat by a horizontal shaft so that it is swingable; a base board for attaching the handle bar is integrated with the rear or upper end of the handle post overhanging the floor deck, and an attaching plate for the handle bar is pivotally connected to the base board by a vertical shaft; the rider holding the handle bar steers the boat to freely slide over water surface while changing the position at which the foot pressure is applied to the boat; the steering handle device being characterized in that: the handle bar is constructed in a substantially H-shape in a front view consisting of a handle bar body horizontally extending transversely of the boat, and a pair of grips vertically extending from the opposite ends of the handle bar body; the middle portion of the handle body is integrally fixed to the rear end of the attaching plate; mouth pieces each extending through the intermediate portion of the associated grip at right angles and fixed thereto are fitted on the opposite ends of the handle bar body so that they can be removed and refitted thereon for angular adjustment; the tilt angle of each grip with respect to the horizontal plane of the handle bar body can be adjusted by tilting the grip forward or rearward while turning the grip around the horizontal longitudinal axis of the handle bar body during the operation of removing and refitting for adjustment.
