DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] In order to enable the examiner to further have a better understanding and recognition of the object, features and efficacies of the invention, please refer to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

[0011] Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3. The invention provides a bicycle handlebar module combining brake levers and derailleur shifter control devices, comprising:

[0012] a bicycle handlebar 10, two ends of the bicycle handlebar 10 are respectively formed with a grip part 11, and a front side of the bicycle handlebar 10 near each of the two ends is respectively formed with a pivoting part 12 and an accommodating part 13, in addition, a front center of the bicycle handlebar 10 is provided with a front lamp 40;

[0013] two brake levers 20 pivotally connected to the two pivoting parts 12 with one end respectively, and the brake levers 20 are exposed on the front side of the bicycle handlebar 10; and

[0014] two derailleur shifter control devices 30 respectively disposed in the accommodating parts 13 of the bicycle handlebar 10, wherein the derailleur shifter control device 30 at least comprises a gear shift mechanism 31, a cable 32, a tension mechanism 33, and a release mechanism 34, the tension mechanism 33 and the release mechanism 34 are linked to rotation of the gear shift mechanism 31, the gear shift mechanism 31 is connected to one end of the cable 32, the tension mechanism 33 is capable of controlling to tension the cable 32 by rotation of the gear shift mechanism 31, and the release mechanism 34 is capable of controlling to release the cable 32 by rotation of the gear shift mechanism 31, when the derailleur shifter control device 30 is installed in the bicycle handlebar 10, the tension mechanism 33 and the release mechanism 34 are exposed outside the bicycle handlebar 10.

[0015] Wherein, the bicycle handlebar 10 is in a shape of the letter v.

[0016] Wherein, the bicycle handlebar 10 can be formed by combining an upper cover 101 and a lower cover 102.

[0017] Wherein, the two ends of the bicycle handlebar 10 are provided with a direction lamp 14 respectively.

[0018] Wherein, the bicycle handlebar 10 can be folded at a center as a fulcrum.

[0019] With the above-mentioned structure and composition design, a way in which the invention is assembled is described as follows:

[0020] (1) As shown in a first embodiment in FIGS. 1 to 3, after the two brake levers 20 and the two derailleur shifter control devices 30 are assembled into the lower cover 102 of the bicycle handlebar 10, the upper cover 101 of the bicycle handlebar 10 covers the lower cover 102, the brake levers 20 are exposed on the front side of the bicycle handlebar 10, the tension mechanisms 33 are exposed on a rear side of the bicycle handlebar 10, and the release mechanisms 34 are exposed on the front side of bicycle handlebar 10.

[0021] (2) As shown in a second embodiment in FIG. 4, the bicycle handlebar 10 is integrally formed, the pivoting parts 12 and the accommodating parts 13 are in a form of an upward hollow structure, and then the two brake levers 20 and the two derailleur shifter control devices 30 are directly assembled on the pivoting parts 12 and the accommodating parts 13 of the bicycle handlebar 10 respectively to complete the assembly of the invention.

[0022] With the structure of the above specific embodiments, the following effectiveness can be obtained:

[0023] The invention is capable of removing the original connectors, bases, and shells required for connecting the brake levers, derailleur shifter control devices, front lamp, and direction lamps to the bicycle handlebar, and the above-mentioned parts and components of bases, and shells are directly integrated on the bicycle handlebar 10 of the invention, and then the two brake levers 20, the gear shift mechanisms 31, the cables 32, the tension mechanisms 33, the release mechanisms 34, the direction lamps 14 and the front lamp 40 are assembled with the bicycle handlebar 10 to complete the modular assembly of the invention. Therefore, it can not only save assembly time and assembly cost, but also indirectly reduce the overall bicycle cost.

[0024] In summary, the invention is capable of effectively solving the drawbacks of the prior art, and can be easily understood and implemented by those having ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains. However, the above description is only the preferred embodiments of the invention, and should be construed as exemplary rather than as limitative of the invention, with many variations and modifications being readily attainable by a person of average skill in the art without departing from the spirit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
