DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0062] The force-distributing device and its applications to single-handed brake lever of front and rear wheels are simple in structure. The first structural type of the force-distributing device is called “surface moving pivotal rod type” (including “sliding pivotal rod type” and “rolling pivotal rod type”, and both types have the same physical theory). The second structural type is “rotating pivotal rod type” (including “rotating arm pivotal rod type” and “rotating body pivotal rod type”, and both types have the same physical theory). Both of the two structural types of force-distributing device can be applied to “cable brake lever” assembly, “hydraulic brake lever” assembly and “cable brake breakout box” assembly for the single-handed front and rear wheels brake. Therefore, it can be applied to six types of embodiment in total:
[0063] The first type of embodiment apply a “surface moving pivotal rod type” force-distributing device to a “cable brake lever” assembly.
[0064] The second type of embodiment apply a “rotating pivotal rod type” force-distributing device to a “cable brake lever” assembly.
[0065] The third type of embodiment apply a “surface moving pivotal rod type” force-distributing device to a “hydraulic brake lever” assembly.
[0066] The fourth type of embodiment apply a “rotating pivotal rod type” force-distributing device to a “hydraulic brake lever” assembly.
[0067] The fifth type of embodiment apply a “surface moving pivotal rod type” force-distributing device to a “cable brake breakout box” assembly.
[0068] The sixth type of embodiment apply a “rotating pivotal rod type” force-distributing device to a “cable brake breakout box” assembly.
[0069] All six embodiments can provide the safe three-stage brake function while the brake force is applied to from zero to maximum.
[0070] The first structural type of the force-distributing device is called “surface moving pivotal rod type”. Please refer to
[0071] The first structural type of force-distributing device (1) comprising one frame (30), one movable force-in pivotal rod (401), one torsion spring (33), one force input moving piece (40), one first force output moving piece (50) and one second force output moving piece (60). The first force output moving piece (50) pin joint to one side of the frame (30) by a first force output shaft (501), the second force output moving piece (60) pin joint to the opposite side of frame (30) by a second force output shaft (601). The frame (30) forms a rod moving space (301) to accommodate the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) between these two sides of frame (30). The movable force-in pivotal rod (401) formed on one side of the force input moving piece (40) contacts the surface of the rod moving space (301). The torsion spring (33) is mounted inside the frame (30) by jacketing the first force output shaft (501) and by fixing one tail on frame (30) and attaching the other tail on the movable force-in pivotal rod (401). The force input from the force input moving piece (40) is transferred to the frame (30) via movable force-in pivotal rod (401). Then the input force should be divided into two force outputs of the first force output shaft (501) and the second force output shaft (601) via the frame (30). Lastly, the two divided forces are separately transferred to the first force output moving piece (50) and the second force output moving piece (60). The amounts of the two force outputs depend on the position of the position of the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) because the movable force-in pivotal rod (401), the first force output shaft (501) and the second force output shaft (601) are pin jointed by frame (30). The structural relationship of them forms a force balancing between a moving fulcrum and two ends of a lever. The force balancing is illustrated in
[0072] The second structural type of the force-distributing device is called “rotating pivotal rod type”. Please refer to
[0073] Comparing the first structural type and the second structural type of the force-distributing device, both of them include the same of one frame (30), one movable force-in pivotal rod (401), one torsion spring (33), one force input moving piece (40), one first force output moving piece (50) and one second force output moving piece (60). But the second structural type comprising one extra rotating arm (34). The first force output moving piece (50) pin joint to one side of the frame (30) by a first force output shaft (501), the second force output moving piece (60) pin joint to the opposite side of frame (30) by a second force output shaft (601). The frame (30) forms a rod moving space (301) to accommodate the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) between these two sides of frame (30). The movable force-in pivotal rod (401) is formed on one side of the force input moving piece (40). One end of the rotating arm (34) pin joint to the rod moving space (301) via the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) while the other end of the rotating arm (34) pin joint to the frame (30) by a rotating arm shaft (343). The torsion spring (33) is mounted inside the frame (30) by jacketing the rotating arm shaft (343) and by fixing one tail on frame (30) and attaching the other tail on the movable force-in pivotal rod (401). The force input moving piece (40) introduce the force input through the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) to one side of the rotating arm (34) and generate a count-clockwise torque around the rotating arm shaft (343), but the torsion spring (33) also generate a clockwise torque rotating around the rotating arm shaft (343). When the count-clockwise torque applied not yet exceeds the clockwise torque applied from the torsion spring (33), the rotating arm (34) does not rotate. The movable force-in pivotal rod (401) also does not move. Only when the force input increase and generate a sufficient count-clockwise torque exceeding the clockwise torque, the rotating arm (34) starts to rotate and the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) starts to move. Therefore, the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) can transfer the force input from the force input moving piece (40) to the frame (30) via the structural combination of the torsion spring (33), the rotating arm (34) and the rotating arm shaft (343). Then the frame (30) divide the force input into two force outputs to the first force output shaft (501) and the second force output shaft (601). Finally, the two force outputs can each go through first force output moving piece (50) and the second force output moving piece (60). The amounts of the two force outputs depend on the position of the position of the movable force-in pivotal rod (401) because the movable force-in pivotal rod (401), the first force output shaft (501) and the second force output shaft (601) are pin jointed by frame (30). The structural relationship of them forms a force balancing between a moving fulcrum and two ends of a lever. Please refer to
[0074] In summary of the explanations above, the second structural type force-distributing device has the same three stages of force distribution function and is also suitable for single-handed front and rear wheels brake device. It offers better safety and efficiency compared to traditional two-hands separate brake devices for front wheel and rear wheels.

[0082] The first method to change the detail characteristics of the force distribution is to design a different shape of the rod moving space (301) to change the contacting track of the movable force-in pivotal rod (401). For example, please refer to
[0083] The second method of adjustment setup is to change the transformation volume of the spring. As the volume of the transformation changes, the profile of the “three stages dynamic force distribution curve” must change immediately. For example, please refer to
