Bicycle operating device
A bicycle operating device for operating at least one bicycle component. The bicycle operating device includes a base member configured to be mounted on a bicycle handlebar that defines a handlebar axis and a first operating member rotatably supported on the base member about the bicycle handlebar when the base member is mounted on the bicycle handlebar. The first operating member is configured to be at least partially adjustably supported on the base member.
MANUALLY OPERATED ELECTRICAL CONTROL AND INSTALLATION SCHEME FOR ELECTRIC HYBRID VEHICLES
A hybrid vehicle system facilitates operator control over electric power generation and use. The system features a motor/generator that can be mounted to an output of a transmission of the vehicle.
Actuation device of a bar-end bicycle gearshift
An actuation device for bar-end bicycle gearshift comprises a mount adapted to be mounted to the end of handlebars facing forwards in the direction of travel. An actuation part is mounted on the mount in a neutral position with respect to the mount when no gearshifting is commanded. An adjuster is provided for adjusting the neutral position of the actuation part with respect to the mount. A cyclist can adjust the neutral position based on personal physical characteristics and preferences.
Finger-operated accelerator mechanism
An accelerator for small motor-vehicles allows an operator to control vehicle power output by flexing his or her index finger. The accelerator is designed for mounting on a handlebar but does not require a rotatable grip for operation. A lever is provided that rotates with applied force from the index finger, the lever rotating about an axis that is parallel or nearly parallel with the part of the handlebar that the hand rests on. A brake lever is also described that may be operated by the same hand that operates the accelerator.
Bicycle control device
A bicycle control device is basically provided with a housing, a base member, a user operating member and a fixing member. The housing has an internal space. The base member is at least partially disposed in the internal space and pivotally arranged relative to the housing about a first axis. The user operating member is adjustably mounted to the base member and partially disposed in the internal space. The user operating member has a user contacting portion. The fixing member fixes the user operating member to the base member at one of at least a first position and a second position.
Bicycle component control device
A bicycle component control device includes a bracket, a hydraulic brake unit and either a mechanical shifting unit or electric control unit. The bracket has a gripping portion. The hydraulic brake unit is operatively mounted on the bracket and configured to operate a hydraulic brake device. The mechanical shifting unit or the electric control unit is operatively mounted on the bracket and configured to operate a bicycle device.
Maneuver element incorporating locking means
Maneuver element of the type composed by an element provided, on each end, with a protruding grip and centrally with safety means which can be activated under pressure and controlled from outside, apt to engage the structure on which it is mounted and to prevent the rotation, said pressure activated means, being composed of a button system having a central hole, housed within a depression of said maneuver element, and partially protruding from it, from the base of said button system abutting engaging and retaining plugs, housed free to move longitudinally within the holes obtained in said maneuver element, characterized in that fast remote identification means of the functionality of said maneuver and pressure fast activation means of said engaging and retaining plugs are associated with said button system, said pressure fast activation means of said plugs being composed by the association of engaging elements mounted on a rotor with driving and retaining elements provided on a stator complementary to said rotor.
Operation lever and grip
Provided is an operation lever adapted to make a blade perform an action other than an up and down action by rotatably a grip around the shaft center of a lever shaft. The operation lever has a lever shaft operable back and forth, corresponding to an up and down action of a blade of a dozer unit, and a grip provided on an upper part of the lever shaft and capable of rotating in a clockwise direction and counterclockwise direction from a neutral position around a shaft center of the lever shaft by a predetermined rotation angle, corresponding to an angle action or a tilting action of the blade. The grip includes a return-to-neutral spring adapted to return the grip from a rotated position to a neutral position, and the rotation angle of the grip in the clockwise direction is set to be different from that in the counterclockwise direction.
Side-mount type engine control apparatus
An engine control apparatus includes an apparatus body, and a control lever. The apparatus body includes a housing, an axis unit including a drive gear, a driven gear, and an angle sensor. A plurality of fixing portions are provided on the housing. A through-hole is formed in the fixing portion. The through-hole is communicated with a first side wall and a second side wall of the housing. The housing is fixed to a port-side mounting surface or a starboard-side mounting surface by a screw member inserted into the through-hole. When the control lever is operated, the drive gear and the driven gear are rotated in accordance with an angle of operation. A rotational angle of the driven gear is detected by an angle sensor.
Bicycle component control device
A bicycle component control device basically includes a bracket and a bicycle component operating unit. The bicycle component operating unit is disposed in an interior space of the bracket. The bicycle component operating unit includes an operating member protruding toward outside of the interior space. The bracket includes a plurality of bracket parts being separate pieces from each other and non-movably fixed to at least one adjacent one of the plurality of bracket parts that define the interior space. The plurality of bracket parts is further configured relative to each other such that a connecting seam formed on the bracket extends along at least three of a mounting surface, an upper surface, a lower surface, a first side surface and a second side surface of the bracket.
