[0003] Cycling is becoming an increasingly popular form of recreation and transportation. It has also become a very popular competitive sport for both amateurs and professionals. Whether the bicycle is used for recreation, transportation, or competition, the bicycle industry has consistently improved various bicycle components. One bicycle component that has been extensively redesigned is the bicycle actuation device (see, for example, JP S63-312 291 A and JP S63-315 390 A).

[0004] US 4,611,500 A discloses a brake actuation device attached to a bicycle grip, wherein a support with a first stop element pivotably carries an actuating lever that has a second stop surface for bearing against the first stop surface. Each bearing surface is formed in a circular arc centered in a position spaced from the pivot point of the lever relative to the support. The pivot point is moved along the circumference of a circle concentric to the circular arcs forming the first and second stop surfaces to adjust the grip distance between the grip and the actuating lever.

[0005] JP S63-315 390 A discloses a brake lever device for a bicycle. In a brake carrier attached to the lever, a brake lever extending towards the handle is mounted at its base so as to allow for vibration, and a support arm extending in the opposite direction to the brake lever is provided on an intermediate section of the brake carrier.

[0043] The embodiments are now described with reference to the attached drawings, where similar reference numerals denote corresponding or identical elements across the different drawings. First embodiment

[0044] Firstly, referring to Fig. In a first embodiment, a bicycle actuation device 10 is configured to be mounted on a bicycle body B1. Examples of bicycle bodies B1 include a bicycle tube B11, such as a bicycle handlebar. The bicycle actuation device 10 is configured to actuate a bicycle component B2, which is configured to be actuated via a control cable 2, such as a Bowden cable. The bicycle component B2 can be a cable-actuated device. Examples of bicycle components B2 include an adjustable seat post assembly, a bicycle derailleur, a suspension system, and an intermediate receiving device. For example, the intermediate receiving device is operatively connected to the bicycle actuation device 10 via the control cable 2. The intermediate receiving device is configured to wind and unwind another control cable to actuate a cable-actuated device in response to movement of the control cable 2.

[0045] The bicycle control device 10 is a left-hand control device operated by the rider's left hand. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art of bicycles that the design of the bicycle control device 10 can also be applied or adapted to a right-hand control device operated by the rider's right hand.

[0046] In this application, the following directional terms “forward”, “backward”, “left”, “right”, “upward”, and “downward”, as well as any other similar directional terms, refer to directions determined by the rider sitting on a bicycle saddle (not shown) of a bicycle and facing the bicycle handlebars. Accordingly, these terms, as used herein to describe the bicycle actuation device 10, should be interpreted relative to a bicycle equipped with the bicycle actuation device 10 and used in an upright riding position on a horizontal surface.

[0047] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the bicycle actuation device 10 comprises a base element 12 and an actuating element 14. The base element 12 is designed to be mounted on the bicycle body B1. The actuating element 4 is designed to be movably mounted on the base element 12. The base element 12 is designed to be mounted on the bicycle body B1 to a plurality of mounting clamps B31 of a bicycle brake actuation device B3. A bicycle brake device B4 is actuated via the bicycle brake actuation device B3. The bicycle brake actuation device B3 comprises a main body B32 and a brake lever B33. The main body B33 is coupled to the mounting clamp B31. The brake lever B33 is pivotally mounted on the main body B32. The bicycle brake actuation device B3 includes a hydraulic actuation unit (not shown), for example, in the main body B32.

[0048] The base element 12 comprises a housing 16 and a mounting structure 18. The actuating element 14 is designed to be movably mounted on the housing 16. The mounting structure 18 is designed to be coupled to the bicycle body B1 via the mounting clamp B31.

[0049] As in the Fig. 2 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 3, the housing 16 comprises a first housing element 20 and a second housing element 22. The first housing element 20 is positioned above the second housing element 22 in an assembly state in which the bicycle actuation device 10 is / is mounted to the bicycle body B1.

The adapter element 26 is designed to be attached to the mounting clamp B31. The mounting clamp B31 includes a clamping hole B34 through which the bicycle body B2 extends. The adapter element 26 has a connecting section 32, which is designed to be removable within the clamping hole B34. The mounting clamp B31 and the connecting section 32 define a cylindrical section through which the bicycle body B1 extends.

[0051] The receiving element 28 is secured to the housing 16. In this embodiment, the receiving element 28 is integrally provided with the first housing element 20 as a single unit. The adapter element 26 is designed to be movably coupled to the receiving element 28 via the coupling element 30.

[0052] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 1, the adapter member 26 includes a first elongated hole 34, which extends in a direction D1. In this embodiment, the first direction D1 is a circumferential direction of the connecting section 32. The coupling member 30 extends through the first elongated hole 34.

[0053] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the receiving element 28 includes a second elongated hole 36, which extends in a second direction D2. In this embodiment, the second direction D2 is an elongated direction, or longitudinal direction, of the bicycle body B1. More specifically, the second direction D2 is a direction parallel to a longitudinal center axis X1 of the bicycle tube member B11 of the bicycle body B1. The second direction D2 thus corresponds to the center of an arc defined by the connecting section 32. The coupling element 30 extends through the second elongated hole 36. Consequently, the housing 16 is designed to be coupled to the adapter element 26 via the receiving element 28 and the coupling element 30, such that the position of the housing 16 relative to the adapter element 26 can be adjusted in any direction D1 and D2.The mounting structure 18 is designed to be coupled to the housing 16 via the bicycle body B1, such that a position of the housing 16 relative to the bicycle body B1 can be adjusted in each of the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.

In this embodiment, the cable control body 38 is integrally provided with the actuating element 14 as a single unit. However, the cable control body 38 can be a separate element from the actuating element 14. The cable control body 38 can be designed to be / be movably coupled to the actuating element 14. In a case where the cable control body 38 is a separate element from the actuating element 14, the cable control body 38 is / is secured to the actuating element 14 via adhesive and / or other suitable securing structures. The cable control body 38 and the actuating element 14 comprise a rigid material, such as a metallic or non-metallic material.

[0056] For example, an initial pulling force F1 is applied to the inner wire 4 between the cable control body 38 and the bicycle component B2. An actuating force F2 is applied to the actuating element 14 by the user to pivot the actuating element 14 from the rest position P1 to the actuated position P2. The inner wire 4 is pulled relative to the outer casing 6 against the initial pulling force F1 when the cable control body 38 is pivoted relative to the base element 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1 from the rest position P1 to the actuated position P2 by the actuating force F2. The inner wire 4 returns due to the initial pulling force F1 when the cable control body 38 is pivoted relative to the base element 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1 from the actuated position P2 to the rest position P1 by releasing or reducing the actuating force F2.The bicycle actuation device 10 can include a preload element which is designed to preload the actuation element 14 and / or the cable control body 38 towards the rest position P1.

At least one of the first clamping arm 60 and the second clamping arm 62 is elastically deformable to change the width of the slot 65.

[0069] The first clamping arm 60 includes a through hole 66. The second clamping arm 62 includes a threaded hole 68. The mooring line 58 extends through the through hole 66. The mooring line 58 includes external threads 70 and a head 72. The external threads 70 engage with the threaded hole 68. The head 72 makes contact with the first clamping arm 60. Tightening the mooring line 58 reduces the width of the slot 65, such that the swivel shaft 44 is secured to the base member 12 via the clamping member 56 (secured state). Loosening the mooring line 58 increases the width of the slot 65, such that the swivel shaft 44 can rotate relative to the base member 12 about the pivot axis A1 (adjustable state).

[0070] As in the Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 7, the setting structure 52 includes a limiting element 74, which can be touched by the support structure 42 to define the adjustable area AR1 ( Fig. 7) to define. As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the limiting element 74 is secured to the base element 12. In this embodiment, the limiting element 74 is secured to the first housing element 20 of the housing 16. The limiting element 74 extends from the first housing element 20 in the axial direction D3.

[0071] As in the Fig. 5 and Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the support structure 42 includes a first contact part 76 and a second contact part 78. The first contact part 76 is touchable with respect to the restraint element 74. The second contact part 78 is touchable with respect to the restraint element 74. In this embodiment, the first contact part 76 extends radially outward from the support body 48. The second contact part 78 extends radially outward from the support body 48. The first contact part 76 is spaced from the second contact part 78 in the circumferential direction with respect to the pivot axis A1. The restraint element 74 is positioned between the first contact part 76 and the second contact part 78.

[0072] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 9, each of the cable control body 38 and the adjustment structure 52 is at least partially provided within the housing 16. The housing 16 includes an interior space 80. In this embodiment, the cable control body 38 and the adjustment structure 52 are completely provided within the housing 16. However, the cable control body 38 and the adjustment structure 52 can also be partially provided within the housing 16. The support structure 42 is at least partially provided within the housing 16. In this embodiment, the support structure 42 is partially provided within the housing 16. The pivot shaft 44 is partially provided within the housing 16. The support member 46 is completely provided within the housing 16.

[0073] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the mooring line 58 is accessible from the outside of the housing 16. The housing 16 includes an access hole 82, which connects the interior 80 to an exterior space of the housing 16. The head 72 of the mooring line 58 is positioned in the access hole 82. The head 72 is exposed from the housing 16 through the access hole 82 to the exterior space of the housing 16. The head 72 includes a tool engagement hole 83, into which a tool, such as a hex key, engages. Consequently, it is possible to tighten or loosen the mooring line 58 from the outside of the housing 16 using the tool.

[0074] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 6, the bicycle actuation device 10 further comprises an information structure 84, which is designed to inform the user whether the actuating element 14 has been moved by an information position P4 ( Fig. 5 and Fig. 7) is running. The information structure 84 includes an information element 86, an information claw 88, a pivot pin 90 and a preload element 92.

[0075] The information element 86 is pivotably mounted on the support structure 42 with respect to the pivot axis A1. The information element 86 is pivotable relative to the pivot shaft 44 and the support element 46 with respect to the pivot axis A1. The information element 86 is coupled to the cable control body 38 in order to pivot together with the cable control body 38 relative to the base element 12.

[0076] The informing claw 88 is pivotably mounted on the support member 46 with respect to a claw pivot axis A2. The pivot pin 90 is designed to pivotally couple the informing claw 88 to the support member 46 with respect to the claw pivot axis A2. In this embodiment, the claw pivot axis A2 is essentially parallel to the pivot axis A1. The preloading element 92 is designed to preload the informing claw 88 so that it contacts the informing member 86.

[0077] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the information element 86 comprises a base body 94 and a projection 96. The base body 94 extends radially outwards from the pivot shaft 44. The projection 96 extends radially outwards from the base body 94. The information claw 88 is in contact with the base body 94 and is spaced apart from the projection 96 in a rest state in which the actuating element 14 is positioned in the rest position P1.

[0078] When the signaling element 86, together with the cable control body 38, is pivoted relative to the base element 12 from the rest position P1, the signaling claw 88 comes into contact with the projection 96. If the signaling element 86 is pivoted further relative to the base element 12 together with the cable control body 38, the projection 96 moves the signaling claw 88 radially outwards against a preload force of the preload element 92. This applies rotational resistance to the actuating element 14 at the signaling position P4 and allows the user to recognize that the actuating element 14 is passing through the signaling position P4. The signaling structure 84 can be omitted from the bicycle actuating device 10.

[0079] With the bicycle actuation device 10, it is possible to achieve the following effects.

[0080] (1) The adjusting structure 52 is designed to adjustably position the support structure 42 relative to the base element 12 such that the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 is set relative to the base element 12. Accordingly, it is possible to adjust the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 relative to the base element 12 using the adjusting structure 52.

[0081] (2) The cable control body 38 is designed to be non-movably coupled to the actuating element 14. Accordingly, it is possible to actuate the cable control body 38 via the actuating element 14 even if the adjusting structure 52 is broken.

[0082] (3) The cable control body 38 is integrally provided with the actuator 14 as a single unit. Accordingly, it is possible to simplify the structure of the actuator 14 and the cable control body 38.

[0083] (4) The adjustment structure 52 is designed to adjustably position the support structure 42 relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1, such that the rest position P1 of the actuating member 14 is continuously adjusted relative to the base member 12. Accordingly, it is possible to provide fine adjustment of the rest position P1 using the adjustment structure 52.

[0084] (5) The setting structure 52 includes the limiting element 74, which can be touched by the support structure 42 to define the adjustable area AR1. Accordingly, it is possible to mechanically define the adjustable area AR1 to allow a user to recognize the adjustable area AR1.

[0085] (6) The adjusting structure 52 includes a clamping structure 54, which is designed to adjustably position the pivot shaft such that a circumferential position of the cable control body 38 relative to the base element 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1 is set. Accordingly, it is possible to adjust the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 with a simple structure including the pivot shaft and the clamping structure 54.

[0086] (7) The mooring device 58 is designed to change the state of the clamping element 56 between the adjustable state and the locked state. Accordingly, it is possible to easily change the state of the clamping element 56 between the adjustable state and the locked state to facilitate adjustment of the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14.

[0087] (8) Since the mooring line 58 is accessible outside of the housing 16, it is possible to easily adjust the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 via the mooring line 58 from outside of the housing 16.

[0088] (9) Since each of the cable control body 38 and the adjustment structure 52 is provided at least partially in the housing 16, it is possible to simplify the appearance of the bicycle actuation device 10. Second embodiment

[0089] A bicycle actuation device 210 according to a second embodiment is described below with reference to the Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15 to Fig. The bicycle actuation device 210 has the same configuration as the bicycle actuation device 10, except for the housing 16, the support structure 42, and the adjustment structure 52.

The pivot shaft 244 is movably coupled to the cable control body 38 such that the cable control body 38 can pivot relative to the pivot shaft 244 with respect to the pivot axis A1. The support element 246 is non-rotatably coupled to the pivot shaft 244. However, the support element 246 can be rotatably coupled to the pivot shaft 244. The support structure 242 includes a locking element 247. The actuating element 14 is pivotally coupled to the pivot shaft 244 via the locking element 247.

[0093] As in the Fig. As shown in Figure 14, the support member 246 includes a support body 248 and the positioning part 50. The support member 246 has essentially the same structure as the support member 246 of the first embodiment. The support body 248 is secured to the pivot shaft 244 and extends radially outwards from the pivot shaft 244. However, the support body 248 can be pivotally coupled to the pivot shaft 244.

[0094] As in the Fig. 12, Fig. 13 and Fig. As shown in Figure 15, the bicycle actuation device 210 comprises an adjustment structure 252, which is configured to adjustably position the support structure 242 relative to the base member 12 such that the rest position P1 of the actuating member 14 is set relative to the base member 12. In this embodiment, the adjustment structure 252 is configured to adjustably position the support structure 242 relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1. The adjustment structure 252 is configured to adjustably position the support structure 242 relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1 within an adjustable range AR1 ( Fig. 15) to position. More specifically, the adjustment structure 252 is designed to adjustably position the cable control body 38 relative to the base element 12, such that the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 is set / is set relative to the base element 12.

[0095] In this embodiment, the adjusting structure 252 is configured to adjustably position the support structure 242 relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1, such that the rest position P1 of the actuating member 14 is continuously set relative to the base member 12.

[0096] As in the Fig. 13 and Fig. As shown in Figure 15, the adjustment structure 252 is designed to position the support structure 242 relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1, such that the cable control body 38 is movable relative to the base member 12 from the rest position P1 to the actuated position P2 or actuation position. The support member 246 is designed to be / be positioned adjustable relative to the base member 12, such that the rest position P1 of the cable control body 38 is / is set within the adjustable range AR1 relative to the base member 12. In this embodiment, the adjustment structure 252 is designed to position the support member 246 adjustable relative to the base member 12, such that the rest position P1 of the cable control body 38 is / is set relative to the base member 12.

[0097] The adjustment structure 252 is designed to position the support structure 242 relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1, such that the cable control body 38 is pivotable relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1 from the rest position P1 to the actuated position P2 or actuation position. The cable control body 38 and the actuating member 14 are pivotable relative to the base member 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1 between the rest position P1 and the actuated position P2, in a state in which the adjustment structure 252 positions the support structure 242 at a set position P3 relative to the base member 12.

[0098] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 14, the adjustment structure 252 includes a limiting element 274 and an adjusting element 275. The limiting element 274 is designed to be coupled to the support element 246. The limiting element 274 includes a threaded hole 277. The adjusting element 275 includes a threaded bolt 279, which engages with the threaded hole 277.

[0099] The adjusting element 275 is designed to be rotatably mounted on the base element 12 with respect to a central axis A3. The threaded hole 277 and the threaded bolt 279 are designed to convert a rotation of the adjusting element 275 into a pivoting movement of the support element 246 relative to the base element 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1.

[0100] The base element 12 is designed to restrict axial movement of the adjusting element 275 along the central axis A3 relative to the base element 12. In this embodiment, the adjusting structure 252 includes a stopper 281, which is attached to the adjusting element 275. The adjusting element 275 includes a head section 283. The stopper 281 is attached to the head section 283.

[0101] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 13, the housing 216 includes a retaining part 216a. The retaining part 216a includes an opening 216b. The head section 283 is provided for the opening 216b. The adjusting element 275 includes a projecting section 285, which projects radially outwards from the head section 283. The projecting section 285 is provided within the housing 216. The stopper 281 is provided outside the housing 216. The retaining part 216a is provided between the projecting section 285 and the stopper 281.

[0102] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 15, each of the cable control body 38 and the adjustment structure 252 is at least partially provided in the housing 216. The adjustment element 275 is accessible from the outside of the housing 216. As shown in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 10, the head section 283 of the adjusting element 275 is exposed to the outside of the housing 216 through the opening 216b. The head section 283 includes a tool engagement hole 287, with which a tool, such as a hex key, engages. Consequently, it is possible to rotate the adjusting element 275 from the outside of the housing 216 using the tool.

[0103] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 16, the limiting member 274 is pivotable relative to the support member 246 with respect to an additional pivot axis A4. The limiting member 274 is pivotable relative to the support member 246 with respect to the additional pivot axis A4 within a pivotable range AR2 in order to achieve the adjustable range AR1 ( Fig. 15) to define. In this embodiment, the limiting member 274 includes a pivoting body 289. The support member 246 includes a support opening 246a. The pivoting body 289 is pivotably provided in the support opening 246a with respect to the additional pivot axis A4.

[0104] The support member 246 includes a first contact part 276 and a second contact part 278. The first contact part 276 is touchable with respect to the restraint member 274. The second contact part 278 is touchable with respect to the restraint member 274. In this embodiment, the first contact part 276 is spaced apart from the second contact part 278. The restraint member 274 is positioned between the first contact part 276 and the second contact part 278. In this embodiment, the restraint member 274 includes a contact section 291, which projects from the pivoting body 289. The first contact part 276 is touchable with the contact section 291. The second contact part 278 is touchable with the contact section 291. The contact section 291 is provided between the first contact part 276 and the second contact part 278.

[0105] The limiting element 74, the first contact part 76 and the second contact part 78 of the first embodiment can be applied to the adjustment structure 252 to limit a pivoting movement of the support structure 242 within the adjustable range AR1 instead of the limiting element 274.

[0106] With the bicycle actuation device 210, it is possible to achieve the following effects in addition to or instead of the effects achieved by the bicycle actuation device 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0107] (1) The adjustment structure 252 is designed to adjustably position the support structure 242 relative to the base element 12 such that the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 relative to the base element 12 is adjustable. Accordingly, it is possible to adjust the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 relative to the base element 12 using the adjustment structure 252.

[0108] (2) The threaded hole 277 and the threaded bolt 279 are designed to convert the rotation of the adjusting element 275 into the pivoting movement of the support element 246 relative to the base element 12 with respect to the pivot axis A1. Accordingly, it is possible to easily set the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 using the limiting element 274 and the adjusting element 275.

[0109] (3) Since the adjusting element 275 is accessible from the outside of the housing 216, it is possible to easily adjust the rest position P1 of the actuating element 14 via the adjusting element 275 from the outside of the housing 216.

[0110] (4) The limiting element 274 is pivotable relative to the support element 246 with respect to the additional pivot axis A4 within the pivotable range AR2 in order to define the adjustable range AR1. Accordingly, it is possible to mechanically define the adjustable range AR1 via the limiting element 274 and the support element 246 to allow a user to identify the adjustable range AR1. Third embodiment

[0111] A bicycle actuation device 310 according to a third embodiment is described below with reference to the Fig. 17 and Fig. 18. The bicycle actuation device 310 has essentially the same configuration as the bicycle actuation device 10, except for an additional actuation unit. Consequently, the elements that have essentially the same function as those in the preceding embodiments are designated with the same reference numerals and are not described and / or illustrated again in detail herein for the sake of brevity.

[0112] As in the Fig. 17 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 18, the bicycle actuation device 310 has essentially the same structure as the bicycle actuation device 10 in the first embodiment. However, in addition to the bicycle component B2, the bicycle actuation device 310 is configured to actuate an additional bicycle component B5, which is configured to be actuated via an additional control cable 8, such as a Bowden cable. Furthermore, the bicycle actuation device 310 can be an electrical switch that electrically controls the additional bicycle component B5, or a hydraulic device that hydraulically controls the additional bicycle component B5.

[0113] In this embodiment, the bicycle actuation device 310 has essentially the same structure as the bicycle actuation device 10 in the first embodiment. However, the bicycle actuation device 310 can have essentially the same structure as the bicycle actuation device 210 according to the second embodiment.

The additional cable control body 391 is movable relative to the base element 12 in order to control the additional control cable 8, which is provided separately from the control cable 2.

[0115] Additional bicycle component B5 differs from bicycle component B2. Additional bicycle component B5 can be a cable-operated device. Examples of additional bicycle component B5 include an adjustable seatpost assembly, the bicycle derailleur, the suspension, and the intermediate mounting device.

[0116] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 18, the additional actuating element 393 is movable relative to the base element 12 in order to move the additional cable control body 391 relative to the base element 12. The adjusting structure 52 is designed to adjustably position the support structure 42 relative to the base element 12 without changing the position of the additional cable control body 391 and the additional actuating element 393 relative to the base element 12.

[0117] The bicycle actuation device 310 comprises only the actuating element 14 as a single actuating element, which is designed to move the cable control body 38. However, the bicycle actuating device 310 can include a further actuating element, which is designed to move the cable control body 38 in addition to the actuating element 14.
