Patent attributes
A mechanism whereby a motorcycle operator may secure a clutch lever portion of a motorcycle in its depressed state, thereby preventing hand and/or arm fatigue. The mechanism includes an electrical solenoid which is clamped to a handlebar portion of the motorcycle, and in mechanical communication with the clutch lever of the motorcycle. The mechanism is automatically activated upon application of the braking portions of the motorcycle by the operator, causing the mechanism to hold the clutch lever inward, if pulled, thereby disengaging the clutch of the motorcycle. Normal operation of the motorcycle is resumed when the operator releases the brakes. The mechanism is envisioned to be especially useful, for example when an operator is at a standstill, such as while waiting at a street light, being delayed in traffic, or the like.
