Bicycle Alignment Device

摘要

An alignment device for bicycle handlebars that enables them to be accurately aligned relative to the front wheel. The device may include a unitary body and a laser beam emitter. The laser beam emitted may create a visible point of light wherever the beam makes contact with the front wheel, or the bicycle frame, or another component attached to the bicycle frame. The laser beam can be perpendicular to the handlebars. The laser beam emitter is preferably able to be changed by the user. Using the laser beam, and by adjusting the beam's angle of declination or inclination, the user can preferably make fine adjustments to the alignment of the handlebars, relative to the front wheel, and/or another component that is mounted on the bicycle frame, relative to the bicycle frame.

1. A device, for aligning the handlebars of a bicycle relative to the bicycle's front wheel, said device including:
a unitary body, and a laser beam emitter, wherein the unitary body includes a base portion that enables the unitary body to at least sit upon the handlebars, and said base portion provides the device with a stable and accurate foundation upon which the device is able to be operated by a user, and wherein said laser beam emitter generates a beam in the visible light spectrum so that wherever the beam makes contact with the front wheel, or the bicycle frame, or another component attached to the bicycle frame, it creates a visible point of light, said laser beam emitter is mounted inside the unitary body on a first transverse shaft, and the first transverse shaft runs parallel to the handlebars, so that the laser beam emitted from said laser beam emitter is perpendicular to the first transverse shaft, and said laser beam emitter is capable of being rotated inside the unitary body about the first transverse shaft so that the angle of declination or inclination that the emitted laser beam produced by the laser beam emitter makes relative to the handlebars is able to be changed by the user, thereby causing the visible point of light to be movable by the user, and the user can then make fine adjustments to the alignment of the handlebars, relative to the front wheel, and/or another component that is mounted on the bicycle frame, relative to the bicycle frame.
