Embodiment Construction

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 illustrates a pole holder suitable for use with the bicycle ribbon cable connector of the present invention. This lever bracket is a bracket for mounting the operating lever 3 capable of braking operation and shifting operation, and is fixed to the handlebar 15 of the bicycle by the fixing belt 16 . A switch for starting the display device, mode changing operation, etc. is provided in the lever holder, and the switch can be performed by the button protrusion 18 .

[0025] figure 2 It is an exploded view of the transmission 1 and the lever holder 5 . The shifting operation device 1 is attached to the rocking body main body 2, and can perform a braking operation and a shifting operation by the same operation lever. The rocking body main body 2 is freely swingable on the rod holder 5 through a rocking shaft (not shown) passing through its shaft hole 4 and t...

Abstract

An electrical cable connector (11, 12) for bicycles that has a simple structure, low cost, and excellent shielding against shocks, moisture, and the like is disclosed. The connector (11, 12) includes a connector body (60) which has a top surface and a bottom surface, and has a slit (61) which forms a passageway between the top and bottom surfaces. The top surface includes an inclined portion (62) which extends from the slit (61) to a flat terminal section (63). A flat cable (10, 13) extends along the bottom surface, through the slit (61), and along the top surface such that a terminal (65) at the end of the flat cable (10, 13) is positioned on the flat terminal section (63). In a disclosed application, the connector (11, 12) plugs into a female connector (53, 56) of a switch unit (20) of a bicycle lever bracket (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle ribbon cable connector for connecting a signal line of a sensor or switch, and in particular to a bicycle ribbon cable connector for connecting to a bicycle switch mounted in a pole holder. The lever holder is fixed on the handlebar of the bicycle provided with the brake lever. Background technique [0002] Currently, a display device capable of displaying various information, such as the speed of the bicycle, the running distance, the gear position of the transmission device, etc., is generally installed on the bicycle. A display device capable of displaying so many parameters is equipped with a switch for changing the type of displayed parameter or for displaying the start of measurement. The display device is often detachably attached to the bicycle, and such switches are often provided integrally with the display device. However, it is known that this type of switch can have good operability when it is p...
