Abstract

There is provided a vehicle grip structure to be mounted on a handlebar of a vehicle including: a grip body configured to be fixed to and in contact with the handlebar; and protruding portions protruding from the grip body in a direction orthogonal to an axis of the handlebar and arranged side by side in an axial direction. The protruding portions include: a plurality of main protrusions forming a grip portion to be gripped by a user; and a plurality of sub-protrusions having a smaller protruding amount than the main protrusions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vehicle grip structure to be mounted on a handlebar of a vehicle, the vehicle grip structure comprising: 
 a grip body configured to be fixed to and in contact with the handlebar; and   protruding portions protruding from the grip body in a direction orthogonal to an axis of the handlebar and arranged side by side in an axial direction, wherein   the protruding portions include: 
 a plurality of main protrusions forming a grip portion to be gripped by a user; and 
 a plurality of sub-protrusions having a smaller protruding amount than the main protrusions. 
   
     
     
         2 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       the sub-protrusions have a design shape. 
     
     
         3 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 2 , wherein 
       the main protrusions and the sub-protrusions have different external shapes when viewed from a radial direction of the grip body. 
     
     
         4 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 3 , wherein 
       the main protrusions include a plurality of plate members arranged side by side in the axial direction of the handlebar and extending in the radial direction. 
     
     
         5 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       the plurality of sub-protrusions arranged side by side in the axial direction have different shapes in the axial direction. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       the plurality of sub-protrusions have different shapes in a circumferential direction. 
     
     
         7 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       the plurality of sub-protrusions arranged side by side in the axial direction have different shapes in the axial direction and a circumferential direction. 
     
     
         8 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       the sub-protrusions are disposed among the main protrusions are arranged side by side in the axial direction. 
     
     
         9 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       the plurality of sub-protrusions have a protruding amount increasing from two ends in a front-rear direction toward two ends in an upper-lower direction in a state of being fixed to the handlebar. 
     
     
         10 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       a positioning mark is formed on the grip body. 
     
     
         11 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       the main protrusions are formed on an entire circumference of the handlebar. 
     
     
         12 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 1 , wherein 
       outer edges of the main protrusions have a columnar shape. 
     
     
         13 . A personal watercraft comprising the grip structure according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         14 . A vehicle comprising the grip structure according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         15 . A vehicle grip structure comprising: 
 a grip body configured to be fixed to and in contact with a handlebar; and   a plurality of protruding portions protruding from the grip body in a direction orthogonal to an axis of the handlebar and arranged side by side in an axial direction, wherein   the protrusions include: 
 a plurality of main protrusions forming a portion to be gripped by a user and arranged side by side at an interval in the axial direction of the handlebar; and 
 a plurality of sub-protrusions disposed among a part of the main protrusions arranged side by side in the axial direction, the sub-protrusions having a smaller protruding amount than the main protrusions, and coupling the main protrusions arranged side by side in the axial direction. 
   
     
     
         16 . The vehicle grip structure according to  claim 15 , wherein 
       the plurality of sub-protrusions have a protruding amount increasing from two ends in a first direction passing through an axial center and extending in a radial direction toward two ends in a second direction passing through the axial center and orthogonal to the first direction.
