ABSTRACT:
A throttle control device for use with a rotating throttle control member of a type being biased to an idle position such as commonly used on motorcycles. A pair of elongated members having arcuate surfaces thereon adapted to contact the throttle control member are pivotally connected together at one of the ends thereof and an O-ring structure is provided for biasing the opposite ends of the elongated members together, thereby causing the elongated members to be in frictional engagement with the control member. Because of this structure, the throttle control device of this invention in cooperation with a brake lever or other projection can be used to maintain the throttle control member at any desired setting, but allows the person in control of the throttle control device to selectively and instantaneously overcome the frictional engagement of the throttle control device with respect to the throttle control member to turn the throttle back to an idle position when necessary.
