ABSTRACT:
A twistable type throttle-grip assembly especially adapted for use with motorcycle-like vehicles manipulates a single control cable and is normally operational in a first rotational range for controlling the supply of fuel to the vehicle's internal combustion engine thereby controlling the vehicle's speed and is provided with an integral latch mechanism which may be operated by the thumb of the operator while holding the hand grip to release the hand grip for rotation into a second rotational range associated with the operation of a cable controlled, combustion cylinder compression release device on the engine to turn off the latter and permit manual pedaling of the vehicle. The latch mechanism includes a ring-shaped latch member sleeved over the vehicle's handlebar and having an arcuate, resilient, cantilever mounted shiftable latch portion which extends into a slot within a housing therearound adjacent the end of the hand grip to permit access thereto by the vehicle's operator and is selectively shiftable into and out of engagement with the housing to permit selective shifting of the hand grip into either rotational range.
