Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle actuation device.

[0002] Cycling is becoming an increasingly popular form of leisure activity and a means of transportation. Moreover, cycling has become a very popular competitive sport for both amateurs and professionals. Whether the bicycle is used for leisure, transportation, or competition, the bicycle industry is constantly improving the various components of the bicycle. One bicycle component that has been comprehensively redesigned is the actuation device.

[0003] An example of a bicycle actuation device is disclosed in US 2009 / 0308194A1. This device is provided with a main support shaft, a first actuation unit, and a second actuation unit. Each actuation unit includes a wire winding element, a positioning structure, and an actuating element. The wire winding elements are both rotatably mounted on the main support shaft. The positioning structures are functionally coupled to their respective wire winding elements to selectively hold their respective wire winding elements in one of at least two positions. The actuating elements are functionally coupled to their respective positioning structures to change the current position of their respective wire winding elements.The first wire winding element is stationary when the second actuating element is actuated to change the current position of the second wire winding element so that the current position of the first wire winding element always remains the same in response to the actuating of the second actuating element.

[0004] According to the present invention, a bicycle actuation device comprises a base component, a first actuation assembly, a second actuation assembly, and a protective component. The base component is designed to be mounted on a bicycle frame. The first actuation assembly comprises a first receiving component, a first actuation component, and a first activation component. The first receiving component is movable relative to the base component such that it moves a first mechanical cable in a first pulling direction and a first release direction opposite to the first pulling direction. The first actuation component is movable relative to the base component between a first rest position and a first actuated position.The first activation component is operationally coupled to the first receiving component in such a way that it activates the first receiving component, causing it to move in at least one of a first pull activation direction and a first release activation direction. The second actuation assembly comprises a second receiving component and a second actuating component. The second receiving component is movable relative to the base component in such a way that it moves a second mechanical cable in a second pull direction and a second release direction, which is opposite to the second pull direction. The second actuating component is movable relative to the base component between a second rest position and a second actuated position.The protective component is designed in such a way that it moves together with the second actuating component, thereby preventing the first activation component from activating the first receiving component in such a way that, during a movement of the first actuating component from the first rest position to the first actuated position, it moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction and the first release activation direction.

[0005] With such a bicycle actuation device, when the second actuating component moves relative to the base component, the protective component moves together with the second actuating component relative to the base component. This prevents the first activation component from activating the first receiving component in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuating component from its initial rest position to its initial actuated position, it moves in at least one of the directions of the initial pull activation and the initial release activation. Consequently, a first bicycle component and a second bicycle component can be actuated separately by the first and second cables, even if the first and second actuating components move simultaneously relative to the base component. This improves the operability of the bicycle actuation device.

[0006] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the second actuation component has an actuation stop that can be contacted with the first actuation component. With such a bicycle actuation device, the first actuation component can be moved in response to the movement of the second actuation component when the actuation stop is in contact with the first actuation component. The protective component and the first actuation component then move together with the second actuation component. This prevents the first activation component from activating the first receiving component in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuation component from the first rest position to the first actuated position, it moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction and the first release activation direction.

[0007] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the actuation stop has a stop path defined from the second rest position to the second actuated position. During the movement of the second actuation component from the second rest position to the second actuated position, the first actuation element is located on the stop path and comes into contact with the actuation stop. With the bicycle actuation device according to a further aspect, the total space in which the first actuation element and the second actuation element move relative to the base component can be reduced.

[0008] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the actuation stop contacts the first actuating component when the second actuating component is in the second rest position. With such a bicycle actuation device, the total space in which the first actuating component and the second actuating component move relative to the base component can be reduced.

[0009] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the actuation stop is positioned opposite the first actuated position of the first actuating component relative to the first rest position of the first actuating component when the second actuating component is in its second rest position. With such a bicycle actuation device, the protective component can move together with the second actuating component relative to the base component before the first actuating component moves relative to the base component in response to the movement of the second actuating component.This ensures that the first activation component does not activate the first receiving component in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuating component from the first rest position to the first actuated position, it moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction and the first release activation direction.

[0010] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the first receiving component is rotatably coupled to the base component about an axis of rotation. The second receiving component is rotatably coupled to the base component about the same axis of rotation. With such a bicycle actuation device, the bicycle actuation device can be made compact, since the first receiving component and the second receiving component are rotatable about the same axis of rotation with respect to the base component.

[0011] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the base component has an interior space. The first actuation structure and the second actuation structure are arranged at least partially within this interior space. In such a bicycle actuation device, the base component protects the first actuation structure and the second actuation structure.

[0012] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the first activation component is movable relative to the first actuation component between a first activation position, in which the movement of the first actuation component is transmitted via the first activation component to the first receiving component, and a first non-activation position, in which the movement of the first actuation component is not transmitted via the first activation component to the first receiving component, wherein the first non-activation position is further away from the first receiving component than the first activation position.With such a bicycle actuation device, the movement of the first actuating component can be transmitted via the first activation component to the first receiving component, and it can be prevented that the movement of the first actuating component is transmitted via the first activation component to the first receiving component according to the position of the first activation component.

[0013] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the protective component has a first cam for moving the first activation component in response to the movement of the second actuation component from the second rest position to the second actuated position, and from the first activation position to the first non-activation position. In such a bicycle actuation device, the position of the first activation component can be changed using the first cam of the protective component. Thus, the protective component and the first activation component can prevent the movement of the first actuation component from being transmitted to the first receiving component in response to the movement of the second actuation component.

[0014] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device according to one of the above aspects is designed such that the first cam is provided on the second actuation component. With such a bicycle actuation device, the design of the first actuation component and the protective component can be simplified.

[0015] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the first activation component is attached to the first actuation component. The second actuation assembly has a second activation component which is operationally coupled to the second receiving component such that it activates the second receiving component, causing it to move in at least one of a second pull-activation direction and a second release-activation direction, wherein the second activation component is attached to the second actuation component. In such a bicycle actuation device, the design of at least one of the first actuation component, the first activation component, the second actuation component, and the second activation component can be simplified.

[0016] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the protective component is partially provided between the first activation component and the second activation component. With such a bicycle actuation device, the bicycle actuation device can be made more compact.

[0017] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the first activation component is pivotally coupled to the first actuation component about a first activation pivot axis. The first activation component has a contact part that extends axially parallel to the first activation pivot axis in the direction of the protective component. With such a bicycle actuation device, the bicycle actuation device can be made compact.

[0018] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the second actuation assembly has a second activation component which is operationally coupled to the second receiving component in such a way that it activates the second receiving component, causing it to move in at least one of a second pull-activation direction and a second release-activation direction. The first activation component and the second activation component are attached to the first actuation component. In such a bicycle actuation device, the design of at least one of the first actuation component, the first activation component, and the second activation component can be simplified.

[0019] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the first activation component is pivotally coupled to the first actuation component about an activation pivot axis. The second activation component is pivotally coupled to the first actuation component about the activation pivot axis. In such a bicycle actuation device, the design of at least one of the first actuation component, the first activation component, and the second activation component can be simplified.

[0020] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the protective component is partially arranged between the first activation component and the second activation component. With such a bicycle actuation device, the bicycle actuation device can be made more compact.

[0021] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the second activation component is movable relative to the first actuation component between a second activation position, in which the movement of the second actuation component is transmitted via the second activation component to the second receiving component, and a second non-activation position, in which the movement of the second actuation component is not transmitted via the second non-activation position to the second receiving component, wherein the second activation component is located further away from the second receiving component than the second activation position.In such a bicycle actuation device, the movement of the second actuating component can be transmitted via the second activation component to the second receiving component, and it can be prevented that the movement of the second actuating component is transmitted via the second activation component to the second receiving component according to the position of the second activation component.

[0022] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the second actuation assembly has an activation preload component for preloading the second activation component into the second non-activation position. In such a bicycle actuation device, the position of the second actuation component can be stabilized in the second non-activation position.

[0023] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the second actuation assembly has a second cam for moving the second activation component into the second activation position. In such a bicycle actuation device, the position of the second activation component can be changed in response to the movement of the second actuation component.

[0024] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be designed such that the second cam is provided on the second actuation component. In such a bicycle actuation device, the design of the second actuation component can be simplified.

[0025] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the first actuation structure comprises a first positioning structure for positioning the first receiving component in several control positions. The second actuation structure is configured such that the second receiving component is movable relative to the base component between the second rest position and the second actuated position without the second mechanical cable being mechanically positioned relative to the base component during the movement of the second actuation component between the second rest position and the second actuated position. With such a bicycle actuation device, a first bicycle component with several activated positions and a second bicycle component with only two activated positions can be actuated separately.

[0026] According to a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the bicycle actuation device can be configured such that the second actuation structure includes a second positioning structure for positioning the second receiving component in several control positions. The first actuation structure is configured such that the first receiving component is movable relative to the base component between the first rest position and the first actuated position without the first mechanical cable being mechanically positioned relative to the base component during movement of the first actuation component between the first rest position and the first actuated position. With such a bicycle actuation device, a first bicycle component with only two activated positions and a second bicycle component with several activated positions can be actuated separately.

[0030] The embodiments are now described with reference to the attached drawings, whereby in the various drawings the same reference numerals denote corresponding or identical elements.

[0031] First, referring to Fig. Figure 1 comprises a bicycle 10 and a bicycle control device 12 according to a first embodiment. The bicycle 10 further comprises a bicycle body B0, a front wheel B4, a rear wheel B5, a brake device B6, a brake device B7, and a drive train B8. The bicycle body B0 comprises a bicycle frame B1, a handlebar B2, a saddle B3, and an adjustable seatpost assembly B9. The bicycle control device 12 is mounted on the bicycle body B0. In this embodiment, the bicycle control device 12 is mounted on the handlebar B2. The adjustable seatpost assembly B9 is detachably mounted on the seat tube B11 of the bicycle frame B1. The saddle B3 is attached to the adjustable seatpost assembly B9. In the illustrated embodiment, the brake device B6 has a front brake, and the brake device B7 has a rear brake.

[0032] The drive train B8 is designed to convert the cyclist's pedaling force into propulsion force. The drive train B8 comprises a front crankset B81, a rear chainring B82, a bicycle chain B83, a rear derailleur B84, and a front derailleur B85. The front crankset B81 is rotatably mounted on the bottom bracket of the bicycle frame B1. Although in this embodiment the front crankset B81 has only one front chainring, it can also have multiple front chainrings. In such an embodiment, the bicycle 10 has a front derailleur.

[0033] The front crankset B81 is rotatably mounted on the bicycle frame B1 and has a front chainring B86. The front chainring B86 has several front sprocket links. The rear chainring B82 is mounted on a rear axle of the rear wheel B5 and has several rear sprocket links. The bicycle chain B83 connects the front chainring B86 to the rear chainring B82, thereby transferring the pedaling force from the front crankset B81 to the rear chainring B82. The rear derailleur B84 shifts the bicycle chain B83 relative to the rear chainring B82 in a lateral direction across the bicycle, thus changing one of several speed levels defined by the front chainring B86 and the rear chainring B82.The front derailleur B85 shifts the bicycle chain B83 in relation to the front chainring B86 in the transverse direction of the bicycle 10, thereby changing one speed level from the several speed levels.

[0034] In this embodiment, the following directional terms “front”, “back”, “forward”, “backward”, “left”, “right”, “across”, “up”, and “down”, as well as other similar directional terms, refer to those directions that are determined, for example, based on the cyclist sitting in the saddle B3 of a bicycle 10 facing the handlebars B2. Consequently, these terms, as used to describe the bicycle 10 having the bicycle control device 12, should refer to the bicycle 10 in an upright riding position on a horizontal surface as in Fig. 1 illustrated how these expressions are used to describe the bicycle actuation device 12 should be interpreted in relation to the bicycle actuation device 12 mounted on the bicycle 10, which is in an upright riding position on a horizontal surface as in Figure 1. Fig. 1 is used to illustrate this.

[0035] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 2, the bicycle actuation device 12 is operationally connected to the adjustable seatpost assembly B9 via a first mechanical cable C1. The bicycle actuation device 12 is operationally connected to the front derailleur B85 via a second mechanical cable C2. The bicycle actuation device 12 is operationally connected to the brake device B7 via a brake cable C3. The bicycle 10 has an additional bicycle actuation device 18. The additional bicycle actuation device 18 is operationally connected to the rear derailleur B84 via an additional mechanical cable C4. The additional bicycle actuation device 18 is operationally connected to the brake device B6 via an additional brake cable C5. Examples of the mechanical cables C1 to C5 include a Bowden cable.

[0036] For example, in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 6, the first mechanical cable C1 has a housing C11 and a shift cable C12, which is provided within the housing C11. The shift cable C12 of the first mechanical cable C1 is connected to the adjustable seatpost assembly B9. The second mechanical cable C2 has a housing C21 and a shift cable C22, which is provided within the housing C21. The shift cable C22 of the second mechanical cable C2 is connected to the front derailleur B85. The brake cable C3 has a housing C31 and a shift cable C32, which is provided within the housing C31. The shift cable C32 of the brake cable C3 is connected to the brake assembly B7. The front derailleur B85 can be omitted from the bicycle 10.

[0037] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 3, the bicycle actuation device 12 is a left-hand actuation device. In the assembly state where the additional bicycle actuation device 18 is mounted on the handlebar B2, the bicycle actuation device 12 is mounted on a left part B21 of the handlebar B2. The additional bicycle actuation device 18 is a right-hand actuation device. In the assembly state where the bicycle actuation device 12 is mounted on the handlebar B2, the additional bicycle actuation device 18 is mounted on a right part B22 of the handlebar B2. In the assembly state, the bicycle actuation device 12 is located on the left side of a transverse center plane CP1 of the bicycle when the transverse center of the handlebar B2 is located on the transverse center plane CP1.The additional bicycle actuation device 18 is located on the right side of the transverse center plane CP1 of the bicycle 10 in the assembled state, when the transverse center of the handlebar B2 is located on the transverse center plane CP1. The transverse center plane CP1 is defined at the center of the bicycle frame B1 in the transverse direction D1 of the bicycle 10.

[0038] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the adjustable seatpost assembly B9 comprises a first tube 20, a second tube 22, a floating piston 24, a rod 26, a guide element 28, a flow control element 30, a valve unit 32, and an activation assembly 33. The flow control element 30 is operationally coupled to the first mechanical cable C1 via the activation assembly 33. The valve unit 32 divides an inner bore of the first tube 20 into a first fluid chamber 34 and a second fluid chamber 36. The flow control element 30 is positioned in the guide element 28 such that it moves between a closed position VP1 and an open position VP2 with respect to the valve unit 32. The flow control element 30 is pre-tensioned into the closed position VP1 by a pre-tensioning element (not shown). The valve unit 32 is closed when the flow control part 30 is positioned in the closed position VP1.The valve unit 32 is open when the flow control element 30 is positioned in the open position VP2. The activation mechanism 33 converts a pulling movement of the first mechanical cable C1 into an upward movement of the flow control element 30 from the closed position VP1 to the open position VP2. The first tube 20 and the second tube 22 are arranged telescopically, with the insertion depth of the first tube 20 into the second tube 22 being adjustable. The second tube 22 is fixed to the seat tube B11 by a conventional clamping arrangement (not shown) provided at the upper end of the seat tube B11. Fig. 1).

[0039] The valve unit 32 is coupled to the second tube 22 via the guide element 28, causing them to move together relative to the first tube 20. The first fluid chamber 34 is located between the valve unit 32 and the floating piston 24. The second fluid chamber 36 is located between the valve unit 32 and the lower end of the first tube 20. The flow control element 30 cooperates with the guide element 28 and the valve unit 32 such that the flow of fluid between the first fluid chamber 34 and the second fluid chamber 36 is controlled in such a way that the position of the first tube 20 relative to the second tube 22 changes. When the valve unit 32 is closed, the first tube 20 is arranged in a telescopic direction D2 relative to the second tube 22. When the valve unit 32 is open, the first tube 20 is movable in the telescopic direction D2 relative to the second tube 22.The floating piston 24 is arranged in the inner bore of the first tube 20 and forms a gas chamber 38 located between the floating piston 24 and the upper end of the first tube 20. The shorter overall length of the adjustable seatpost assembly B9 increases the internal pressure of the gas chamber 38. Since the designs of the adjustable seatpost assembly B9 are well-known in the field of bicycles, they will not be described and / or illustrated in detail here for the sake of brevity.

[0040] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 5, the bicycle actuation device 12 comprises a base component 40, a first actuation component 42, and a second actuation component 44. The base component 40 is designed to be mounted on the bicycle frame B0. In this embodiment, the base component 40 is designed to be mounted on the handlebar B2. The base component 40 has a first end section 46, a second end section 48, and a grip section 50. The first end section 46 is designed to be mounted on the handlebar B2 when the bicycle actuation device 12 is mounted on the handlebar B2. The second end section 48 is located opposite the first end section 46. The grip section 50 is positioned between the first end section 46 and the second end section 48.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first end section 46 is designed such that, in the assembly state in which the bicycle actuation device 12 is mounted on the handlebar B2, it can be mounted on a curved section B23 of the handlebar B2. However, the first end section 46 can also be coupled to other types of handlebars. As shown in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 3, the first end section 46 of the basic component 40 is designed in such a way that it can be coupled to the left part B21 of the steering rod B2 in the assembly state.

[0042] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 5, the bicycle actuation device 12 has a mounting structure 52. The base component 40 is mounted to the handlebar B2 via the mounting structure 52. The base component 40, mounted on the handlebar B2, is a stationary component. The mounting structure 52 preferably has a strap closure or a similar design used for mounting a road bike shifter on a racing bike handlebar. The base component 40 is covered with a grip cover 54 made of a non-metallic material such as rubber.

[0043] Sometimes cyclists grasp the base component 40 via the handle cover 54 and support themselves on the base component 40 via the handle cover 54 while cycling. The handle cover 54 can be omitted from the bicycle operating device 12.

[0044] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 6, one of the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 is located at least partially closer to the first end section 46 of the base component 40 than the other of the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44. In this embodiment, the first actuating component 42 is located at least partially closer to the first end section 46 of the base component 40 than the second actuating component 44. However, the second actuating component 44 can also be located at least partially closer to the first end section 46 of the base component 40 than the first actuating component 42.

[0045] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 7, the first actuating component 42 is movable relative to the base component 40 between a first rest position P21 and a first actuated position P22. The first actuating component 42 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 such that it activates a first bicycle component. In this embodiment, the first actuating component 42 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 such that it activates the adjustable seatpost assembly B9, which is designated as the first bicycle component. However, the bicycle actuating device 12 can also be operationally coupled to other bicycle components such as the rear derailleur B84 and the front derailleur B85. In this embodiment, the adjustable seatpost assembly B9 can also be referred to as the first bicycle component B9.

[0046] In the present application, the term “rest position”, as used herein, refers to a position in which a movable part, such as the first actuating component 42 or the second actuating component 44, remains stationary when the movable part is not actuated by the user. The term “actuated position”, as used herein, refers to a position in which the movable part has been actuated by the user so that a bicycle component, such as the brake device B6, the brake device B7, the adjustable seatpost assembly B9, the rear derailleur B84, or the front derailleur B85, performs its function.

[0047] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 7, the first actuating component 42 is movably coupled to the base component 40 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 and moves the first mechanical cable C1 relative to the base component 40. The first actuating component 42 is movably coupled to the base component 40 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22, enabling the first bicycle component B9 to be actuated via the first mechanical cable C1. In other words, the first actuating component 42 is coupled to the base component 40 in such a way that the first bicycle component B9 can be actuated via the first mechanical cable C1. In this embodiment, the first actuating component 42 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 about a first pivot axis A1.The first actuating component 42 is pivoted relative to the base component 40 in a first direction D51 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22. The first actuating component 42 is then pivoted relative to the base component 40 in a second direction D52 from the first actuated position P22 to the first rest position P21. The second direction D52 is opposite to the first direction D51.

[0048] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 8, the second actuating component 44 is movable relative to the base component 40 between a second rest position P951 and a second actuated position P952. The second actuating component 44 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 such that a second bicycle component is activated, which is not the first bicycle component B9. In this embodiment, the second actuating component 44 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 such that the front derailleur B85, which is designated as the second bicycle component, is activated. However, the bicycle actuating device 12 can also be operationally coupled to other bicycle components such as the rear derailleur B84 and the adjustable seatpost assembly B9.In this embodiment, the front derailleur B85 can also be referred to as the second bicycle component B85.

[0049] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 8, the second actuating component 44 is movably coupled to the base component 40 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 such that the second mechanical cable C2 can be moved relative to the base component 40. The second actuating component 44 is movably coupled to the base component 40 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 such that the second bicycle component B85 can be actuated via the second mechanical cable C2. That is, the second actuating component 44 is movably coupled to the base component 40 such that the adjustable seat post assembly B9 can be actuated via the first mechanical cable C1. In this embodiment, the second actuating component 44 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 about a second pivot axis A2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first pivot axis A1 coincides with the second pivot axis A2 of the second actuating component 44. However, the first pivot axis A1 can also be offset from the second pivot axis A2. The second actuating component 44 is pivoted relative to the base component 40 in the first direction D51 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952. The second actuating component 44 is pivoted relative to the base component 40 in the second direction D52 from the second actuated position P952 to the second rest position P951.

[0051] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 6, the second actuating component 44 is movably coupled to the base component 40 such that the brake device B7 can be actuated. The second actuating component 44 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 about a brake pivot axis A3. The second actuating component 44 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 between a brake rest position P31 and a brake-actuated position P32. The second actuating component 44 is designed as a brake lever. However, the brake lever function can also be omitted from the actuating component 44.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first pivot axis A1 and the second pivot axis A2 are not parallel to the brake pivot axis A3. Therefore, the second actuating component 44 is movable in a different direction relative to the base component 40 than the first direction D51 and the second direction D52.

[0053] One end of the switching cable C32 of the brake cable C3 is coupled to the second actuating component 44. The switching cable C32 is tightened relative to the cable housing C31 and the base component 40 when the second actuating component 44 is pivoted around the brake pivot axis A3 from the brake rest position P31 to the brake-actuated position P32 relative to the base component 40. The switching cable C32 is retracted relative to the cable housing C31 and the base component 40 when the second actuating component 44 is returned around the brake pivot axis A3 from the brake-actuated position P32 to the brake rest position P31 relative to the base component 40.

[0054] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 7, the first actuating component 42 is pivoted from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 with respect to the base component 40 and the second actuating component 44 when only the first actuating component 42 is actuated.

[0055] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 8, the first actuating component 42 together with the second actuating component 44 is pivoted from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 with respect to the base component 40 when the second actuating component 44 is pivoted from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952 with respect to the base component 40, even if the first actuating component 42 is not actuated.

[0056] Specifically, the second actuating component 44 has an actuating stop 44C that can contact the first actuating component 42. The actuating stop 44C has a travel distance PT1, defined from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952. The first actuating component 42 lies on the travel distance PT1 and comes into contact with the actuating stop 44C during a movement of the second actuating component 44 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952. The actuating stop 44C contacts the first actuating component 42 when the second actuating component 44 is in the second rest position P951. The pivoting movement of the first actuating component 42 is thus transferred to the second actuating component 44 when the first actuating component 42 is pivoted from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22.This causes the second actuating component 44 to pivot together with the first actuating component 42 when the first actuating component 42 is pivoted from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22. The actuating stop 44C can be positioned at a distance from the first actuating component 42 when the second actuating component 44 is in the second rest position P951. In such an embodiment, the actuating stop 44C comes into contact with the first actuating component 42 during the movement of the second actuating component 44 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952.

[0057] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 9, the bicycle actuation device 12 comprises a coupling component 56, a first shaft 58, a second shaft 64, a brake preload component 60, a first preload component 62, and a second preload component 65. The first shaft 58 defines the brake pivot axis A3 and is attached to the base component 40. The first actuation component 42 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 via the first shaft 58. Specifically, the coupling component 56 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 about the brake pivot axis A3 via the first shaft 58. The first actuation component 42 is pivotally coupled to the coupling component 56 about the first pivot axis A1 via the second shaft 64. The second actuating component 44 is pivotally connected to the coupling component 56 via the second shaft 64 about the second pivot axis A2. One end of the switching cable C32 ( Fig. 6) of the brake cable C3 is coupled to the coupling component 56.

[0058] The brake preload component 60 preloads the first actuating component 42 (the coupling component 56) into the brake rest position P31. The brake preload component 60 is mounted on the first shaft 58. The first preload component 62 is mounted on the second shaft 64 and preloads the first actuating component 42 into the first rest position P21 ( Fig. 7) The second preloading component 65 is mounted on the second shaft 64 and preloads the second actuating component 44 into the second rest position P951 ( Fig. 8). The second shaft 64 is coaxial with a third shaft 72 (described later) when the first actuating component 42 is in the brake rest position P31.

[0059] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 9, the bicycle actuation device 12 has a switching assembly 66. The switching assembly 66 is designed to activate the first bicycle component B9 in response to a movement of the first actuating component 42. The switching assembly 66 is designed to activate the second bicycle component B85 in response to a simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44, resulting from a stop between the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44. In this embodiment, the switching assembly 66 has a mechanical construction. However, the switching assembly 66 can also have a hydraulic unit or an electrical component instead of or in addition to the mechanical construction.

[0060] In this embodiment, the bicycle actuation device 12 comprises a first actuating assembly 68 and a second actuating assembly 70. The switching assembly 66 incorporates a portion of the first actuating assembly 68 and a portion of the second actuating assembly 70. The first actuating assembly 68 and the second actuating assembly 70 are mounted on the third shaft 72. The base component 40 has an interior space 40A. The first actuating assembly 68 and the second actuating assembly 70 are arranged at least partially within the interior space 40A. However, at least one of the first actuating assembly 68 and the second actuating assembly 70 can also be arranged outside the interior space 40A. Furthermore, the interior space 40A can be omitted from the base component 40.

[0061] The bicycle actuation device 12 has a support structure 982. The support structure 982 is fixed to the base component 40. As in Fig. As can be seen from Figure 10, the support structure 982 has a first support plate 982A, a second support plate 982B and a third support plate 982C. The second support plate 982B is coupled to the first support plate 982A and the third support plate 982C.

[0062] As in the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 10 to 12, the second actuating assembly 70 comprises a second receiving component 976, a second actuating component 44, and a second activation component 988. The second receiving component 976 is movable relative to the base component 40 such that it moves the second mechanical cable C2 in a second pull direction D41 and a second release direction D42, which is opposite to the second pull direction D41. In this embodiment, the second receiving component 976 is coupled to the second actuating component 44 such that, in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44, it moves the second mechanical cable C2 relative to the base component 40 in the second pull direction D41 and the second release direction D42, which is opposite to the second pull direction D41. The second pull direction D41 and the second release direction D42 are defined along the second mechanical cable C2.One end of the switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 is coupled to the second receiving component 976.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second receiving component 976 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about a rotation axis A97. As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 9, the axis of rotation A97 coincides with the first pivot axis A1 and the second pivot axis A2 when the second actuating component 44 is in the brake rest position P31. However, the axis of rotation A97 can also be offset from the first pivot axis A1 and the second pivot axis A2 when the second actuating component 44 is in the brake rest position P31.

[0064] As in the Fig. 10 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 11, the second activation component 988 is operationally coupled to the second receiving component 976 in such a way that it activates the second receiving component 976, causing it to move in at least one of the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62. In this embodiment, the second activation component 988 is a latch that can be contacted with the second receiving component 976 to move it in the second pull activation direction D61. The second release activation direction D62 is a direction opposite to the second pull activation direction D61. The second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62 are defined along a circumferential direction around the axis of rotation A97.In this embodiment, the second activation component 988 is operationally coupled to the second receiving component 976 such that it activates the second receiving component 976, causing it to move in the second pull activation direction D61. However, the second activation component 988 can also be operationally coupled to the second receiving component 976 such that it activates the second receiving component 976, causing it to move in the second release activation direction D62, or in both the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62.

[0065] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 13, the second activation component 988 is movable relative to the second actuating component 44 between a second activation position P962 and a second non-activation position P961. In the second activation position P962, the movement of the second actuating component 44 is transmitted via the second activation component 988 to the second receiving component 976. In the second non-activation position P961, the movement of the second actuating component 44 is not transmitted via the second activation component 988 to the second receiving component 976. The second non-activation position P961 is located further away from the second receiving component 976 than the second activation position P962. The second activation position P962 and the second non-activation position P961 are defined based on one end (a section that can contact the receiving component 976) of the second activation component 988.

[0066] As in the Fig. 11 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 12, the second activation component 988 is attached to the second actuating component 44. In this embodiment, the second actuating component 44 has a second actuating body 944 and a second input component 987. The second actuating body 944 is pivotally connected to the base component 40 about the second pivot axis A2 ( Fig. 9) The second input component 987 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. The second input component 987 is pivotally mounted on the third shaft 72 ( Fig. 9) The second actuating element 944 is contactable with the second input element 987 for the purpose of transmitting a pivoting movement of the second actuating element 944 in the first direction D51 to the second input element 987. The second activation element 988 is attached to the second input element 987.

[0067] The second input component 987 has a second transmission component 987A. The second transmission component 987A can be contacted with an additional actuating stop 943A of the second actuating component 44. The second input component 987 is pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40 when the second actuating body 944 is pivoted about the second pivot axis A2 relative to the base component 40 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952. The second activation component 988 is pivotally connected to the second input component 987 about a second activation pivot axis A95 via a pivot pin 988A. The second activation component 988 has a first activation latch that can be contacted with the second receiving component 976.

[0068] As in the Fig. 11 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 13, the second actuating assembly 70 has a second activation preload element 989. The second activation preload element 989 is mounted on the pivot bolt 988A in such a way that it preloads the second activation component 988. The second activation preload element 989 has a torsion coil spring.

[0069] The second input component 987 has an elongated hole 987B. The elongated hole 987B has a curved shape in the circumferential direction, which is defined around the axis of rotation A97. A stop pin 987C is attached to the support structure 982 ( Fig. 12) fixed and passes through the elongated hole 987B and defines the maximum swivel angle of the second input component 987.

[0070] As in the Fig. 12 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 13, the second actuating structure 70 has a second positioning structure 78 for positioning the second receiving component 976 in several control positions. The second positioning structure 78 is designed such that it selectively holds the second receiving component 976 in several control positions.

[0071] The second positioning structure 78 is coupled to the second receiving component 976 for positioning the second receiving component 976 relative to the base component 40 in both a first control position P941 and a second control position P942 relative to the base component 40. In this embodiment, the second positioning structure 78 is coupled to the second receiving component 976 for positioning the second receiving component 976 relative to the base component 40 in each of only two control positions (the first control position P941 and the second control position P942) relative to the base component 40. However, the total number of control positions is not limited to this embodiment and can be three or more.

[0072] The switching cable C22 is tightened relative to the cable housing C21 and the base component 40 when the second receiving component 976 is pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 from the first control position P941 to the second control position P942, relative to the base component 40. The switching cable C22 is released (returned) relative to the cable housing C21 and the base component 40 when the second receiving component 976 is returned about the first pivot axis A1 from the second control position P942 to the first control position P941, relative to the base component 40.

[0073] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 13, the second receiving component 976 is designed such that it tightens the second mechanical cable C2 when the second actuating component 44 is moved in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. The second receiving component 976 is designed such that it releases the second mechanical cable C2 when the second actuating component 44 is moved in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. In other words, the direction of movement of the second actuating component 44 for tightening the second mechanical cable C2 is the same as the direction of movement of the second actuating component 44 for releasing the second mechanical cable C2. However, the directions of movement of the second actuating component 44 for tightening and releasing the second mechanical cable C2 can also be different.For example, the direction of movement of the second actuating component 44 for tightening the second mechanical cable C2 can be the first direction D51, and the direction of movement of the second actuating component 44 for releasing the second mechanical cable C2 can be the second direction D52.

[0074] Specifically, the second actuating component 44 is moved in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40, resulting in a first movement M1. In this embodiment, the first movement M1 is the pivoting movement of the second actuating component 44. The second positioning structure 78 is coupled to the second actuating component 44 and moves the second receiving component 976 such that the second mechanical cable C2, in response to the first movement M1 of the second actuating component 44, is moved alternately in the second pull direction D41 and the second release direction D42.

[0075] As in the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 10 to 13, the second positioning structure 78 has a positioning component 980 and a first prestressing element 981. The positioning component 980 is pivotally connected to a support structure 982 about a positioning pivot axis A94 via a pivot pin 980A ( Fig. 10) The positioning component 980 has a positioning pawl that can be contacted with the second receiving component 976. The positioning component 980 is pivotally coupled to the first support plate 982A and the second support plate 982B. The first pretensioning element 981 is mounted on the support structure 982 and pretensions the positioning component 980 such that contact with the second receiving component 976 is maintained. The first pretensioning element 981 pretensions the positioning pawl of the positioning component 980 in the direction of the second receiving component 976. The positioning pawl contacts the second receiving component 976, thus preventing the second receiving component 976 from rotating in the second release direction D62.

[0076] The second receiving component 976 has a cable attachment part 983, a first positioning stop 984, a second positioning stop 985, and a control pretensioning element 986. One end of the switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 is attached to the cable attachment part 983. The first positioning stop 984 is spaced circumferentially from the second positioning stop 985. The control pretensioning element 986 is mounted on the support structure 982 and pretensions the second receiving component 976 into the first control position P941 in the second direction D52.

[0077] As in the Fig. 11 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 13, the second receiving component 976 is positioned in the first control position P941 when the positioning component 980 is in contact with the first positioning stop 984. As shown in the Fig. 14 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 15, the second receiving component 976 is positioned in the second control position P942 when the positioning component 980 is in contact with the second positioning stop 985.

[0078] The second receiving component 976 has an activation stop 976A, a first contact surface 976B, and a second contact surface 976C. The activation stop 976A is located next to the first contact surface 976B. The first contact surface 976B is closer to the activation stop 976A than the second contact surface 976C. The second activation preload element 989 preloads the second activation component 988 in the direction of the second receiving component 976.

[0079] As in the Fig. 11 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 13, the second activation component 988 maintains contact with the first contact surface 976B due to the preload force of the second activation preload element 989 when the second receiving component 976 is positioned in the first control position P941. The second activation component 988 is positioned in a second activation position P962 when it is in contact with the first contact surface 976B. The second activation component 988 can contact the activation stop 976A when it is in a second activation position P962. In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted to the second receiving component 976 via the second input component 87 and the second activation component 988.

[0080] As in the Fig. 14 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 15, the second activation component 988 maintains contact with the second contact surface 976C of the second receiving component 976 due to the preload force of the second activation preload element 989 when the second receiving component 976 is positioned in the second control position P942. The second activation component 988 is positioned in a second additional activation position P962 when the second activation component 988 is in contact with the second contact surface 976C. Due to a sufficient distance between the second activation component 988 and the activation stop 976A, the second activation component 988 cannot make contact with the activation stop 976A when the second activation component 988 is positioned in the second additional activation position P962.In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the second input component 987 and the second activation component 988 to the second receiving component 976.

[0081] As in the Fig. 16 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 17, the second positioning assembly 78 has a release component 990. The release component 990 is pivotally connected to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. The release component 990 has a release stop 990A and a release pawl 990B. The second activation component 988 can be contacted with the release stop 990A when the second activation component 988 is positioned in the second additional activation position P962. The release pawl 990B can be contacted with the positioning component 980 when the second activation component 988 is engaged with one of the first positioning stops 984 and the second positioning stop 985. In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is transferred via the second input component 987 and the second activation component 988 to the release component 990.The positioning component 980 is pivoted against the preload force of the first preload element 981 about the positioning pivot axis A94 and moves away from the second receiving component 976. The positioning component 980 cannot contact the second positioning stop 985 when the release pawl 990B moves the positioning component 980 away from the second receiving component 976. However, the positioning component 980 can contact the first positioning stop 984 when the release pawl 990B moves the positioning component 980 away from the second receiving component 976.

[0082] The second activation component 988 is spaced away from the activation stop 976A when the second receiving component 976 is positioned in the second control position P942. The second activation component 988 cannot contact the activation stop 976A when the second activation component 988 is positioned in the second engagement position. In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the second input component 987 and the second activation component 988 to the second receiving component 976.

[0083] The release pawl 990B can be contacted with the positioning component 980. The release pawl 990B pivots the positioning component 980 about the positioning pivot axis A94 and thus moves away from the second receiving component 976 when the release component 990 is pivoted about the rotation axis A97 in response to the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42.

[0084] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 17, the release component 990 has a first projection 990C and a second projection 990D. The first projection 990C is spaced apart from the second projection 990D. The stop pin 987C can contact both the first projection 990C and the second projection 990D. The stop pin 987C defines a pivot angle of the release component 990. The first preload element 981 preloads the release component 990 via the positioning component 980 such that the first projection 990C is in contact with the stop pin 987C.

[0085] As in the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 18 to 21, the first actuating assembly 68 comprises a first receiving component 995, the first actuating component 42, and a first activation component 993. The first receiving component 995 is movable relative to the base component 40 such that it moves the first mechanical cable C1 in a first pull direction D31 and a first release direction D32, which is opposite to the first pull direction D31. In this embodiment, the first receiving component 995 is coupled to the first actuating component 42 such that, in response to the movement of the first actuating component 42, it moves the first mechanical cable C1 relative to the base component 40 in the first pull direction D31 and the first release direction D32, which is opposite to the first pull direction D31. The first pull direction D31 and the first release direction D32 are defined along the first mechanical cable C1.One end of the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable pull C1 is coupled to the first receiving component 995.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first receiving component 995 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. However, the first receiving component 995 can also be rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about an axis of rotation other than the axis of rotation A97.

[0087] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 18, the first activation component 993 is operationally coupled to the first receiving component 995 in such a way that it activates the first receiving component 995 so that the latter moves in at least one of a first pull activation direction D71 and a first release activation direction D72. The first activation component 993 is operationally coupled to the first receiving component 995 in such a way that it activates the first receiving component 995 so that the latter moves in the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72. In this embodiment, the first pull activation direction D71 is the same direction as the second pull activation direction D61 ( Fig. 16). The first solution activation direction D72 is the same direction as the second solution activation direction D62 ( Fig. 16). However, the first train activation direction D71 can also be different from the second train activation direction D61, and the first release activation direction D72 can be different from the second release activation direction D62.

[0088] As in the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 18 to 21, the first actuating structure 68 is designed such that the first receiving component 995 is movable between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 with respect to the base component 40, without the first mechanical cable pull C1 being mechanically positioned with respect to the base component 40 during a movement of the first actuating component 42 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22.

[0089] In the present application, the term "mechanical positioning," as used herein, refers to the positioning of a movable element, such as a switching cable of a mechanical cable pull, relative to a stationary element, such as the base component 40, in a predetermined position when an actuating component, such as the first actuating component 42 or the second actuating component 44, is not actuated by the user. The switching cable of the mechanical cable pull is returned to its rest position when the actuating component is released by the user after it has been moved from its rest position to the actuated position.

[0090] The first actuating structure 68 moves the first mechanical cable C1 in response to a movement of only the first actuating component 42 from a first cable rest position P971 relative to the base component 40. In this embodiment, the first actuating structure 68 moves the first mechanical cable C1 in response to a movement of only the first actuating component 42 from the first cable rest position P971 relative to the base component 40.

[0091] The first actuating component 42 is positioned in the first rest position P21 relative to the base component 40 when the first actuating component 42 is not actuated by the user. The first actuating component 42 is mechanically positioned relative to the base component 40 in no other position than the first rest position P21.

[0092] As in Fig. As can be seen from Figure 19, the first activation component 993 is movable relative to the first actuating component 42 between a first activation position P981 and a first non-activation position P982. In the first activation position P981, the movement of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the first activation component 993 to the first receiving component 995. In the first non-activation position P982, the movement of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the first activation component 993 to the first receiving component 995. The first non-activation position P982 is further away from the first receiving component 995 than the first activation position P981. The first activation position P981 and the first non-activation position P982 are defined based on one end (a section that can contact the receiving component 976) of the first activation component 993.

[0093] The first activation component 993 is operationally coupled to the first receiving component 995 such that it activates the first receiving component 995, causing it to move in at least one of a first pull activation direction D71 and a first release activation direction D72. In this embodiment, the first activation component 993 is operationally coupled to the first receiving component 995 such that it activates the first receiving component 995, causing it to move in the first pull activation direction D71. However, the first activation component 993 can also be operationally coupled to the first receiving component 995 such that it activates the first receiving component 995, causing it to move in the first release activation direction D72, or in both the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72.

[0094] The first activation component 993 is attached to the first actuating component 42. The first activation component 993 is pivotally coupled to the first actuating component 42 about a first activation pivot axis A96. In this embodiment, the first actuating component 42 has a first actuating body 942 and a first input component 992. The first actuating body 942 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 about the first pivot axis A1 ( Fig. 9) The first input component 992 is pivotally coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. The first input component 992 is pivotally mounted on the third shaft 72 ( Fig. 9) The first actuating element 942 is contactable with the first input element 992 for the purpose of transmitting a pivoting movement of the first actuating element 942 in the first direction D51 to the first input element 992. The first activation element 993 is pivotally coupled to the first input element 992 about the first activation pivot axis A96.

[0095] As in Fig. As can be seen from Figure 19, the first input component 992 has a first transmission component 992A. The first transmission component 992A can be contacted with the first actuating element 942. The first input component 992 is pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40 when only the first actuating component 42 is pivoted about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22. The first and the second input components 992 and 987 are pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40 when the second actuating component 44 is pivoted about the second pivot axis A2 relative to the base component 40 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952.

[0096] The first activation component 993 is pivotally connected to the first input component 992 via a pivot pin 996 about the first activation pivot axis A96. The first activation component 993 has a first activation latch 993A, which can be contacted with the first receiving component 995. The first actuating assembly 68 has a first activation preload element 994. The first activation preload element 994 is mounted on the first input component 992 such that it preloads the first activation component 993 to maintain contact with the first receiving component 995.

[0097] As in the Fig. 20 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 21, the first receiving component 995 has an activation stop 995A and a third contact surface 995B. The activation stop 995A is located next to the third contact surface 995B. The first activation component 993 can be contacted with the activation stop 995A when the first activation component 993 is in contact with the third contact surface 995B. The first activation preload element 994 is mounted on the first input component 992 such that it preloads the first activation component 993 to maintain contact with the third contact surface 995B. In this state, the pivoting movement of the first actuating body 942 is transmitted via the first input component 992 and the first activation component 993 to the first receiving component 995.

[0098] The first receiving component 995 has a stopper 995C and a receiving section 995D. The stopper 995C can be contacted with the stop pin 987C. The receiving section 995D can be contacted with the first activation component 993. The first receiving component 995 is in an additional rest position P991 when the stopper 995C is in contact with the stop pin 987C. The first input component 992 is in the rest position when the receiving section 995D is in contact with the first activation component 993. The first mechanical cable pull C1 is in the first cable rest position P971 when the first receiving component 995 is in the additional rest position P991.

[0099] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 21, the first actuating structure 68, in response to the movement of the first actuating component 42, maintains the position of the first mechanical cable C1 relative to the base component 40 in the first cable rest position P971. Specifically, the first actuating structure 68 maintains the position of the first mechanical cable C1 in response to a simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44 relative to the base component 40 in the first cable rest position P971. The first actuating structure 68 maintains the position of the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable C1 in response to the simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44 relative to the base component 40 in the first cable rest position P971.

[0100] As in the Fig. 18 and Fig. As can be seen from Figure 19, the bicycle actuation device 12 has a protective component 97. The protective component 97 is designed such that it moves together with the second actuation component 44, thereby preventing the first activation component 993 from being activated by the first receiving component 995 in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuation component 42 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22, it moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72.In this embodiment, the protective component 97 is designed to move together with the second actuating component 44, thereby preventing the first activation component 993 from being activated by the first receiving component 995 in such a way that it moves in the first pull activation direction D71 during the movement of the first actuating component 42 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22. The protective component 97 is in contact with the first activation component 993.

[0101] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 19, the protective component 97 has a first cam 97A for moving the first activation component 993 in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, and from the first activation position P981 to the first non-activation position P982. The first cam 97A is provided on the second actuating component 44. In this embodiment, the first cam 97A is provided on the second input component 987 of the second actuating component 44. The protective component 97 is integrally formed with the second input component 987 as a single, unitary component. However, the protective component 97 can also be a separate component from the second input component 987.

[0102] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 20, the first activation component 993 has a contact part 993B which extends in an axial direction D8 parallel to the first activation pivot axis A96 in the direction of the protective component 97. The first cam 97A is in contact with the contact part 993B. As shown in Figure 20, the first activation component 993 has a contact part 993B which extends in an axial direction D8 parallel to the first activation pivot axis A96 in the direction of the protective component 97. The first cam 97A is in contact with the contact part 993B. Fig. As can be seen in Figure 10, the protective component 97 is partially positioned between the first activation component 993 and the second activation component 988. In this embodiment, the protective component 97 is partially positioned between the first activation component 993 and the second activation component 988 in the axial direction D8.

[0103] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 19, the protective component 97 pivots the first activation component 993 about the first activation pivot axis A96 relative to the first input component 992 when the second input component 987 is pivoted about the rotation axis A97 relative to the first input component 992. The protective component 97 holds the first activation component 993 in the first non-activation position P982 when the second input component 987 is pivoted about a pivot angle AG1 relative to the first input component 992. The pivot angle AG1 is defined by a clearance CL1, which is defined between the first actuating element 942 and the first transmission element 992A. The first activation component 993 cannot be contacted with the activation stop 995A, even if the first input component 992 is pivoted about the rotation axis A97, when the first activation component 993 is positioned in the first non-activation position P982 by the protection component 97.

[0104] This means that the first receiving component 995 is stationary relative to the base component 40 when the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted together about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40. Therefore, the first mechanical cable C1 is not tightened when the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted together about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40. The first mechanical cable C1 is tightened when only the first actuating component 42 is pivoted about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40.

[0105] The pulling and releasing process of the bicycle actuating device 12 for the first mechanical cable pull C1 is described below with reference to the Fig. 22 to 24 described in detail. Fig. Figure 22 shows the bicycle actuation device 12 in a non-actuated state, in which the illustrated parts are in their rest positions. Fig. Figures 22 to 24 show how the parts of the bicycle actuation device 12 are moved one after the other when the first actuating component 42 is pivoted from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 to carry out the pulling process of the first mechanical cable pull C1.

[0106] As in the Fig. 22 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 23, when the first actuating element 942 is pivoted by the user about the first pivot axis A1 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 relative to the base component 40, the first transmission part 992A of the first input component 992 is pushed by the first actuating element 942. Thus, the first input component 992 is pivoted about the rotation axis A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40, while the second actuating component 44 (i.e., the second actuating element 944 and the second input component 987) remains stationary relative to the base component 40. This brings the first activation component 993 into engagement with the activation stop 995A of the first receiving component 995.

[0107] As in the Fig. 23 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 24, when the first actuating component 42 (i.e., the first actuating body 942 and the first input component 992) is pivoted further about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40, the first receiving component 995 is also pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. Thus, in response to the pivoting movement of the first actuating component 42, the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable pull C1 is pulled from the first cable rest position P971 into the first pull direction D31.

[0108] As in Fig. 24 is recognizable, the contact part 992B comes into play ( Fig. 10 and Fig. 24) of the first input component 992 in contact with a receiving component 982C1 ( Fig. 10 and Fig. 24) of the support structure 982, when the first actuating component 42 reaches the first actuated position P22. In this way, the first input component 992 is mechanically positioned in the first rest position P21. On the other hand, the first input component 992 is not mechanically positioned in the first actuated position P22. The first input component 992 is pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 relative to the base component 40 without being mechanically positioned in the first actuated position P22. Thus, the first input component 992 is only mechanically positioned at one end of a rotation range defined by a rotation angle of the first input component 992.If the first actuating component 42 is returned to the first rest position P21 by switching off or reducing an actuating force exerted by the user on the first actuating component 42, the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable pull C1 is released (returned) to the first cable rest position P971 in the first release direction D32.

[0109] The pulling process of the bicycle actuation device 12 for the second mechanical cable pull C2 is described below with reference to the Fig. 12 and 25 to 30 are described in detail. Fig. Figure 12 shows the bicycle actuation device 12 in a non-actuated state, in which the illustrated parts are in their rest positions. Fig. Figures 25 to 30 show how the parts of the bicycle actuation device 12 are moved one after the other when the second actuation component 44 is pivoted from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952 and then back to the second rest position P951 to carry out the pulling process of the second mechanical cable pull C2.

[0110] Specifically, as in Fig. 25 is recognizable when the second actuating body 944 is pivoted by the user, with respect to the base component 40, about the second pivot axis A2 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, and the first actuating body 942, with respect to the base component 40, is pivoted together with the second actuating body 944 in the first direction D51, since the actuating stop 44C ( Fig. 8) is in contact with the first actuating body 942. Now, the second transmission part 987A of the second input component 987 is pushed in the first direction D51 with the additional actuating stop 943A of the second actuating body 944. Thus, the first actuating body 942, the second actuating body 944, and the second input component 987 are pivoted together in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40.

[0111] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 19, the first transmission part 992A of the first input component 992 is spaced from the first actuating element 942 by the clearance CL1. Therefore, as shown in the Fig. 25 and Fig. 26 can be seen, the first input component 992 is stationary with respect to the base component 40, while the first actuating body 942, the second actuating body 944 and the second input component 987 are pivoted by the pivot angle AG1 in the first direction D51 with respect to the base component 40 ( Fig. 26). This causes the protective component 97 to move the first activation component 993 from the first activation position P981 to the first non-activation position P982. The first activation component 993 cannot engage the activation stop 995A of the first receiving component 995 when the first activation component 993 is in the first non-activation position P982. Therefore, the first receiving component 995 is stationary relative to the base component 40, even when the first input component 992, together with the first actuating body 942, the second actuating body 944, and the second input component 987, is pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the first receiving component 995.

[0112] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 27, the second input component 987, the first actuating body 942, and the first input component 992 are pivoted integrally in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40, together with the second actuating body 944, when the second actuating body 944 is pivoted further about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. In response to the pivoting movement of the second input component 987, the second activation component 988 engages with the activation stop 976A of the second receiving component 976. Thus, the second receiving component 976 is pivoted from the first control position P941 to the second control position P942 in the second pull activation direction D61 relative to the base component 40. The switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 is pulled in the second direction of pull D41 in response to the pivoting movement of the second actuating component 44.

[0113] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 28, the positioning component 980 is given by the second positioning stop 985 about the positioning swivel axis A94 in response to the swiveling movement of the second receiving component 976 with respect to the base component 40.

[0114] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 29, the positioning component 980 is returned to the engagement position by the preload force of the first preload element 981 when the second receiving component 976 is pivoted further beyond the second control position P942 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. In this state, the positioning component 980 is arranged between the second positioning stop 985 and the release latch 990B.

[0115] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 30, the second input component 987, the first actuating element 942, and the first input component 992 are returned to their rest positions when the second actuating component 44 is returned to the second rest position P951. Now, the second receiving component 976 is pivoted in the second direction D52 relative to the base component 40, which engages the positioning component 980 with the second positioning stop 985. Thus, the second receiving component 976 is positioned in the second control position P942 relative to the base component 40, thereby positioning the switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 in the cable-actuated position.

[0116] The following describes the release procedure of the bicycle actuation device 12 for the second mechanical cable pull C2 with reference to the Fig. 30 to 33 described in detail. As in the Fig. 30 and Fig. As can be seen from Figure 31, the second activation component 988 is positioned by the second contact surface 976C in the second additional activation position P962 when the second receiving component 976 is in the second control position P942. Thus, the second activation component 988 can come into contact with the release stop 990A of the release component 990 when the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40.

[0117] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 32, the release component 990 is pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40 when the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. Now, the second activation component 988 does not engage the activation stop 976A of the second receiving component 976.

[0118] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 33, the positioning component 980 is pivoted relative to the base component 40 such that it moves away from the second positioning stop 985 when the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted further in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. Thus, the second receiving component 976 can be pivoted in the second direction D52 relative to the base component 40 by the preload force of the control preloading element 986. In response to the pivoting movement of the second receiving component 976, a guide surface 976D of the second receiving component 976 guides the second activation component 988 into the second activation position P962. This brings the second activation component 988 into engagement with the activation stop 976A, thereby stopping the pivoting movement of the second receiving component 976.

[0119] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 34, the positioning component 980 is separated from the release stop 990A when the second activation component 988 is pivoted into the second activation position P962. The release component 990 can then be returned to its rest position by the preload force of the first preload element 981 via the positioning component 980. The release component 990 is stopped in its rest position by the first projection 990C and the stop pin 987C.

[0120] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 12, the second input component 987, the first actuating element 942, and the first input component 992 are returned to their rest positions when the second actuating element 944 is returned to the second rest position P951. The second receiving component 976 is then pivoted in the second direction D52 relative to the base component 40, which engages the positioning component 980 with the first positioning stop 984. Thus, the second receiving component 976 is positioned in the first control position P941 relative to the base component 40, thereby positioning the switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 in its cable rest position.

[0121] The bicycle actuation device 12 has the following features.

[0122] The protective component 97 is designed to move together with the second actuating component 44, thereby preventing the first activation component 993 from activating the first receiving component 995 in such a way that, during a movement of the first actuating component 42 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22, the receiving component 995 moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72. When the second actuating component 44 moves relative to the base component 40, the protective component 97 moves together with the second actuating component 44 relative to the base component 40.The protective component 97 prevents the first activation component 993 from activating the first receiving component 995 in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuating component 42 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22, the receiving component 995 moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72. Consequently, the first bicycle component B9 and the second bicycle component B85 can be actuated separately via the first mechanical cable C1 and the second mechanical cable C2, even if the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are moved simultaneously relative to the base component 40. This improves the operability of the bicycle actuating device 12. Furthermore, the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 can be arranged so that they overlap in the actuating direction of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44.This makes the bicycle actuation device 12 compact and improves the usability of the bicycle actuation device 12.

[0123] The second actuating component 44 has the actuating stop 44C, which can be contacted with the first actuating component 42. Consequently, the first actuating component 42 can be moved in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44 if the actuating stop 44C is in contact with the first actuating component 42. Now, the protective component 97 and the first actuating component 42 move together with the second actuating component 44. This prevents the first activation component 993 from activating the first receiving component 995 in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuating component 42 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22, the receiving component 995 moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72.

[0124] The actuating stop 44C has a travel distance PT1, defined from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952. During the movement of the second actuating component 44 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, the first actuating component 42 is located on the travel distance PT1 and comes into contact with the actuating stop 44C. Consequently, the total space in which the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 move relative to the base component 40 can be reduced.

[0125] The actuating stop 44C contacts the first actuating component 42 when the second actuating component 44 is in the second rest position P951. Consequently, the total space in which the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 move relative to the base component 40 can be reduced.

[0126] The first mounting component 995 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. The second mounting component 976 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. Consequently, the bicycle actuation device 12 can be made compact, since the first mounting component 995 and the second mounting component 976 are rotatable about the same axis of rotation A97 with respect to the base component 40.

[0127] The first actuating assembly 68 and the second actuating assembly 70 are at least partially located within the interior 40A. The interior 40A protects the first actuating assembly 68 and the second actuating assembly 70.

[0128] The first activation component 993 is movable relative to the first actuating component 42 between the first activation position P981, in which the movement of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the first activation component 993 to the first receiving component 995, and the first non-activation position P982, in which the movement of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the first activation component 993 to the first receiving component 995. The first non-activation position P982 is further away from the first receiving component 995 than the first activation position P981. Consequently, the movement of the first actuating component 42 can be transmitted via the first activation component 993 to the first receiving component 995, and it can be prevented that the movement of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the first activation component 993 to the first receiving component 995 according to the position of the first activation component 993.

[0129] The protective component 97 has a first cam 97A which moves the first activation component 993 in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, and from the first activation position P981 to the first non-activation position P982. Consequently, the position of the first activation component 993 can be changed by using the first cam 97A of the protective component 97. Thus, the protective component 97 and the first activation component 993 can prevent the movement of the first actuating component 42, in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44, from being transmitted to the first receiving component 995.

[0130] The first cam 97A is provided on the second actuating component 44. Consequently, the design of the first actuating component 42 and the protective component 97 can be simplified.

[0131] The protective component 97 is partially positioned between the first activation component 993 and the second activation component 988. Consequently, the bicycle actuation device 12 can be made more compact.

[0132] The first activation component 993 is pivotally connected to the first actuating component 42 about the first activation pivot axis A96. The first activation component 993 has the contact part 993B, which extends in the axial direction B8 parallel to the first activation pivot axis A96 in the direction of the protective component 97. Consequently, the bicycle actuating device 12 can be made compact.

[0133] The second actuating assembly 70 includes the second positioning assembly 78 for positioning the second receiving component 976 in the multiple control positions. The first actuating assembly 68 is designed such that the first receiving component 995 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 without the first mechanical cable C1 being mechanically positioned relative to the base component 40 during movement of the first actuating component 42 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22. Consequently, the first bicycle component B9 with only two activated positions and the second bicycle component B85 with multiple activated positions can be actuated separately.

[0134] The switching assembly 66 is designed to activate the first bicycle component B9 in response to the movement of the first actuating component 42 and the second bicycle component B85 in response to the simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44, resulting from the stop between the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44. Consequently, the first bicycle component B9 and the second bicycle component B85 can be actuated separately using the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44.

[0135] Below, a bicycle actuation device 212 according to a second embodiment is described with reference to the Fig. Sections 35 to 64 are described in detail. The bicycle actuation device 212 has the same construction as the bicycle actuation device 12, except for the first actuation construction and the second actuation construction. Therefore, elements that have essentially the same function as those in the first embodiment are numbered the same here and, for the sake of brevity, are not described and / or illustrated again in detail.

[0136] As in the Fig. As can be seen from figures 35 to 39, the bicycle actuation device 212 comprises the basic component 40, the first actuation component 42, and the second actuation component 44. As shown in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 38, the first actuating component 42 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 such that it activates a first bicycle component. In this embodiment, the first actuating component 42 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 such that it activates the front derailleur B85, which is designated as the first bicycle component. However, the bicycle actuating device 212 can also be operationally coupled to other bicycle components such as the rear derailleur B84 and the adjustable seatpost assembly B9. In this embodiment, the front derailleur B85 can also be referred to as the first bicycle component B85.

[0137] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 39, the second actuating component 44 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 in such a way that it activates a second bicycle component, which is different from the first bicycle component B85. In this embodiment, the second actuating component 44 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 in such a way that it activates the adjustable seatpost assembly B9, which is provided as the second bicycle component. However, the bicycle actuating device 212 can also be operationally coupled to other bicycle components such as the rear derailleur B84 and the front derailleur B85. In this embodiment, the adjustable seatpost assembly B9 can also be referred to as the second bicycle component B9.

[0138] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 37, the bicycle actuation device 212 has a switching assembly 266. The switching assembly 266 is designed to activate the first bicycle component B85 in response to a movement of the first actuating component 42. The switching assembly 266 is designed to activate the second bicycle component B9 in response to a simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44, resulting from a stop between the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44. In this embodiment, the switching assembly 266 has a mechanical construction. However, the switching assembly 266 can also have a hydraulic unit or an electrical component instead of or in addition to the mechanical construction.

[0139] In this embodiment, the bicycle actuation device 212 comprises a first actuating assembly 268 and a second actuating assembly 270. The switching assembly 266 incorporates a portion of the first actuating assembly 268 and a portion of the second actuating assembly 270. The first actuating assembly 268 and the second actuating assembly 270 are mounted on the third shaft 72. The first actuating assembly 268 and the second actuating assembly 270 are arranged at least partially within the interior 40A. However, at least one of the first actuating assembly 268 and the second actuating assembly 270 can also be arranged outside the interior 40A.

[0140] As in the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 40 to 42, the first actuating assembly 268 comprises a first receiving component 1076, the first actuating component 42, and a first activation component 1088. The first receiving component 1076 is movable relative to the base component 40 such that it moves the first mechanical cable C1 in the first pull direction D31 and the first release direction D32, which is opposite to the first pull direction D31. In this embodiment, the first receiving component 1076 is coupled to the first actuating component 42 such that, in response to the movement of the first actuating component 42 relative to the base component 40, it moves the first mechanical cable C1 in the first pull direction D31 and the first release direction D32, which is opposite to the first pull direction D31. One end of the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable pull C1 is coupled to the first receiving component 1076.

[0141] In this embodiment, the first receiving component 1076 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. However, the first receiving component 1076 can also be rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about an axis of rotation other than the axis of rotation A97.

[0142] The first receiving component 1076 has essentially the same construction as the second receiving component 976 of the first embodiment. Specifically, the first receiving component 1076 includes the cable fastening element 983, the first positioning stop 984, the second positioning stop 985, the control preload element 986, the activation stop 976A, the first contact surface 976B, and the second contact surface 976C. Therefore, these will not be described here for the sake of brevity.

[0143] As in the Fig. 40 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 41, the first activation component 1088 is operationally coupled to the first receiving component 1076 in such a way that it activates the first receiving component 1076 so that it moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72. In this embodiment, the first activation component 1088 is operationally coupled to the first receiving component 1076 in such a way that it activates the first receiving component 1076 so that it moves in the first pull activation direction D71. However, the first activation component 1088 can also be operationally coupled to the first receiving component 1076 in such a way that it activates the first receiving component 1076 so that it moves in the first release activation direction D72 or in both the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72.

[0144] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 43, the first activation component 1088 is movable relative to the first actuating component 42 between a first activation position P1061 and a first non-activation position P1062. In the first activation position P1061, the movement of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076. In the first non-activation position P1062, the movement of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076. The first non-activation position P1062 is further away from the first receiving component 1076 than the first activation position P1061.

[0145] As in the Fig. 41 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 42, the first activation component 1088 is attached to the first actuating component 42. The first activation component 1088 is pivotally coupled to the first actuating component 42 about an activation pivot axis A105. In this embodiment, the first activation component 1088 is pivotally coupled to the first input component 992 about the activation pivot axis A105. Specifically, the first activation component 1088 is pivotally coupled to the first input component 992 about the activation pivot axis A105 via a pivot pin 1088A. The first activation component 1088 has a first activation latch that can be contacted with the first receiving component 1076. The first actuating assembly 268 has an activation preload component 1089. The activation preload component 1089 is mounted on the first input component 992 in such a way that it preloads the first activation component 1088 so that contact with the first receiving component 1076 is maintained.

[0146] As in the Fig. 42 and Fig. As can be seen from Figure 43, the first actuating structure 268 has a first positioning structure 278 for positioning the first receiving component 1076 in several control positions. The first positioning structure 278 is designed such that it selectively holds the first receiving component 1076 in several control positions.

[0147] The first positioning structure 278 is coupled to the first receiving component 1076 such that it positions the first receiving component 1076 relative to the base component 40 in both the first control position P941 and the second control position P942 relative to the base component 40. In this embodiment, the first positioning structure 278 is coupled to the first receiving component 1076 such that it positions the first receiving component 1076 relative to the base component 40 in each of only two control positions (the first control position P941 and the second control position P942) relative to the base component 40. However, the total number of control positions is not limited to this embodiment and can be three or more.

[0148] The switching cable C12 is tightened relative to the cable housing C11 and the base component 40 when the first receiving component 1076 is pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 from the first control position P941 to the second control position P942, relative to the base component 40. The switching cable C12 is released (retracted) relative to the cable housing C11 and the base component 40 when the first receiving component 1076 is returned about the first pivot axis A1 from the second control position P942 to the first control position P941, relative to the base component 40.

[0149] As in Fig. As can be seen from Figure 43, the first receiving component 1076 is designed such that it pulls the first mechanical cable C1 when the first actuating component 42 is moved in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. The first receiving component 1076 is designed such that it releases the first mechanical cable C1 when the first actuating component 42 is moved in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. In other words, the direction of movement of the first actuating component 42 for pulling the first mechanical cable C1 is the same as the direction of movement of the first actuating component 42 for releasing the first mechanical cable C1. However, the directions of movement of the first actuating component 42 for pulling and releasing the first mechanical cable C1 can also be different from each other.For example, the direction of movement of the first actuating component 42 for pulling the first mechanical cable C1 can be the first direction D51, and the direction of movement of the first actuating component 42 for releasing the first mechanical cable C1 can be the second direction D52.

[0150] In particular, the first positioning structure 278 is coupled to the first actuating component 42 in such a way that it moves the first receiving component 1076 such that the first mechanical cable pull C1 is moved alternately in the second pulling direction D41 and the second release direction D42 in response to the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42.

[0151] As in the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 40 to 43, the first positioning assembly 278 has essentially the same construction as the second positioning assembly 78 of the first embodiment. Specifically, the first positioning assembly 278 includes the positioning component 980, the first preloading element 981, and the release component 990. Therefore, these will not be described in detail here for the sake of brevity.

[0152] As in the Fig. 41 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 43, the first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the first control position P941 when the positioning component 980 is in contact with the first positioning stop 984. As shown in the Fig. 44 and Fig. As can be seen from Figure 45, the first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the second control position P942 when the positioning component 980 is in contact with the second positioning stop 985. The activation preload component 1089 preloads the first activation component 1088 in the direction of the first receiving component 1076.

[0153] As in the Fig. 41 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 43, the first activation component 1088 remains in contact with the first contact surface 976B due to the preload force of the activation preload component 1089 when the first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the first control position P941. The first activation component 1088 is positioned in the first activation position P1061 when it is in contact with the first contact surface 976B. The first activation component 1088 can contact the activation stop 976A when it is positioned in the first activation position P1061. In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the second input component 987 and the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076.

[0154] As in the Fig. 44 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 45, the first activation component 1088 remains in contact with the second contact surface 976C of the first receiving component 1076 due to the preload force of the activation preload component 1089 when the first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the second control position P942. The first activation component 1088 is positioned in the first non-activation position P1062 when the first activation component 1088 is in contact with the second contact surface 976C. Due to a sufficient distance between the first activation component 1088 and the activation stop 976A, the first activation component 1088 cannot contact the activation stop 976A when the first activation component 1088 is positioned in the first non-activation position P1062.In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the second input component 987 and the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076.

[0155] As in the Fig. 46 and Fig. As can be seen from Figure 47, the first activation component 1088 can be contacted with the release stop 990A when the first activation component 1088 is positioned in the first non-activation position P1062. The release pawl 990B can be contacted with the positioning component 980 when the first activation component 1088 engages the first positioning stop 984 or the second positioning stop 985. In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the first actuating component 42 and the first activation component 1088 to the release component 990. Thus, the positioning component 980 is pivoted against the preload force of the first preloading element 981 about the positioning pivot axis A94 and moves away from the first receiving component 1076.The positioning component 980 cannot contact the second positioning stop 985 when the release latch 990B moves the positioning component 980 away from the first receiving component 1076. However, the positioning component 980 can contact the first positioning stop 984 when the release latch 990B moves the positioning component 980 away from the first receiving component 1076.

[0156] The first activation component 1088 is spaced away from the activation stop 976A when the first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the second control position P942. The first activation component 1088 cannot contact the activation stop 976A when it is positioned in the first activation position P1061. In this state, the first movement M1 of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the second input component 987 and the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076.

[0157] As in the Fig. 48 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 51, the second actuating assembly 270 comprises a second receiving component 1095, a second actuating component 44, and a second activation component 1093. The second receiving component 1095 is movable relative to the base component 40 such that it moves the second mechanical cable C2 in the second pull direction D41 and the second release direction D42, which is opposite to the second pull direction D41. In this embodiment, the second receiving component 1095 is coupled to the second actuating component 44 such that, in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44 relative to the base component 40, it moves the second mechanical cable C2 in the second pull direction D41 and the second release direction D42, which is opposite to the second pull direction D41. One end of the switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 is coupled to the second receiving component 1095.

[0158] In this embodiment, the second receiving component 1095 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 37, the axis of rotation A97 coincides with the first pivot axis A1 and the second pivot axis A2 when the second actuating component 44 is in the brake rest position P31. However, the axis of rotation A97 can also be offset from the first pivot axis A1 and the second pivot axis A2 when the second actuating component 44 is in the brake rest position P31. In this embodiment, the second receiving component 1095 has essentially the same construction as the first receiving component 995 of the first embodiment.

[0159] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 48, the second activation component 1093 is operationally coupled to the second receiving component 1095 in such a way that it activates the second receiving component 1095 so that the latter moves in at least one of the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62. In this embodiment, the second activation component 1093 is operationally coupled to the second receiving component 1095 in such a way that it activates the second receiving component 1095 so that the latter moves in the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62. However, the second activation component 1093 can also be operationally coupled to the second receiving component 1095 in such a way that it activates the second receiving component 1095 so that the latter moves in one of the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62.

[0160] As in the Fig. As can be seen from 48 to 51, the second actuating structure 270 is designed such that the second receiving component 1095 is movable between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 with respect to the base component 40, without the second mechanical cable pull C2 being mechanically positioned with respect to the base component 40 during the movement of the second actuating component 44 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952.

[0161] The second actuating assembly 270 moves the second mechanical cable C2 from a second cable rest position P1071 relative to the base component 40 in response to a simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44. In this embodiment, the second actuating assembly 270 moves the second mechanical cable C2 from the second cable rest position P1071 relative to the base component 40 in response to the simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44.

[0162] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 51, the second activation component 1093 is movable relative to the first actuating component 42 between a second activation position P1082 and a second non-activation position P1081. In the second activation position P1082, the movement of the second actuating component 44 is transmitted via the second activation component 1093 to the second receiving component 1095. In the second non-activation position P1081, the movement of the second actuating component 44 is not transmitted via the second activation component 1093 to the second receiving component 1095. The second non-activation position P1081 is further away from the second receiving component 1095 than the second activation position P1082.

[0163] The second activation component 1093 is operationally coupled to the second receiving component 1095 such that it activates the second receiving component 1095, causing it to move in at least one of the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62. In this embodiment, the second activation component 1093 is operationally coupled to the second receiving component 1095 such that it activates the second receiving component 1095, causing it to move in the second pull activation direction D61. However, the second activation component 1093 can also be operationally coupled to the second receiving component 1095 such that it activates the second receiving component 1095, causing it to move in the second release activation direction D62, or in both the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62.

[0164] The first activation component 1088 and the second activation component 1093 are attached to the first actuating component 42. The second activation component 1093 is pivotally connected to the first actuating component 42 about the activation pivot axis A105. In this embodiment, the second activation component 1093 is pivotally connected to the first input component 992 about the activation pivot axis A105 via the pivot pin 1088A. That is, the first activation component 1088 and the second activation component 1093 are pivotally connected to the first input component 992 about the activation pivot axis A105 via the pivot pin 1088A.

[0165] As in Fig. As can be seen from Figure 50, the second activation component 1093 has a first activation latch that can be contacted with the second receiving component 1095. The activation preload component 1089 is mounted on the first actuating component 42 such that it preloads the first activation component into the first activation position P1061 and the second activation component 1093 into the second non-activation position P1081. That is, the second actuating assembly 270 has the activation preload component 1089 for preloading the second activation component 1093 into the second non-activation position P1081. The first actuating assembly 268 and the second actuating assembly 270 share the activation preload component 1089.

[0166] As in the Fig. 48 and Fig. As can be seen from Figure 49, the bicycle actuation device 212 has a protective component 297. The protective component 297 is designed such that it moves together with the second actuation component 44, thereby preventing the first activation component 1088 from activating the first receiving component 1076 in such a way that, during a movement of the first actuation component 42, the receiving component 1076 moves from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 in at least one direction between the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72.In this embodiment, the protective component 297 is designed to move together with the second actuating component 44, thereby preventing the first activation component 1088 from activating the first receiving component 1076 in such a way that the latter moves from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 in the first pull activation direction D71 during the movement of the first actuating component 42. The protective component 297 is in contact with the first activation component 1088.

[0167] As in Fig. As can be seen from Figure 49, the protective component 297 has a first cam 297A for moving the first activation component 1088 in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, and from the first activation position P1061 to the first non-activation position P1062. The first cam 297A is provided on the second actuating component 44. In this embodiment, the first cam 297A is provided on the second input component 987 of the second actuating component 44.

[0168] As in Fig. As can be seen from Figure 40, the protective component 297 is partially positioned between the first activation component 1088 and the second activation component 1093. In this embodiment, the protective component 297 is partially positioned between the first activation component 1088 and the second activation component 1093 in the axial direction D8.

[0169] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 49, the protective component 297 pivots the first activation component 1088 about the activation pivot axis A105 relative to the first input component 992 when the second input component 987 is pivoted about the rotation axis A97 relative to the first input component 992. The protective component 297 holds the first activation component 1088 in the first non-activation position P1062 when the second input component 987 is pivoted about the pivot angle AG1 relative to the first input component 992. The first activation component 1088 cannot be contacted with the activation stop 976A ( Fig. 45), even if the first input component 992 is pivoted about the axis of rotation A97, when the first activation component 1088 is positioned by the protection component 297 in the first non-activation position P1062.

[0170] This means that the first receiving component 1076 is stationary relative to the base component 40 when the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted together about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40. Thus, the first mechanical cable C1 is not tightened when the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted together about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40. The first mechanical cable C1 is tightened when only the first actuating component 42 is pivoted about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40.

[0171] As in the Fig. 50 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 51, the first input component 992 has a stopper 1092B. The activation pre-tensioning component 1089 pre-tensions the second activation component 1093 so that it remains in contact with the stopper 1092B. In this state, the stopper 1092B positions the second activation component 1093 in the second non-activation position P1081 ( Fig. 51).

[0172] The second receiving component 1095 has an activation stop 1095A. The second activation component 1093 is positioned radially outside the activation stop 1095A when the second activation component 1093 is in the second non-activation position P1081. Thus, the second activation component 1093 cannot contact the activation stop 1095A when it is in the second non-activation position P1081, even if the first input component 992 is pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. This allows the first mechanical cable C1 to be engaged without a pivoting movement of the second actuating component 44 when the first actuating component 42 is pivoted about the first pivot axis A1 relative to the base component 40. The first mechanical cable pull C1 is released (returned) when the first actuating component 42 is returned to the first rest position P21.

[0173] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 52, the second actuating assembly 270 has a second cam 299 for moving the second activation component 1093 into the second activation position P1082. In this embodiment, the second cam 299 is provided on the second actuating component 44. However, the second cam 299 can also be provided on components other than the second actuating component 44. The second cam 299 is provided on the second actuating component 44 for moving the second activation component 1093 in response to the relative movement between the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44.

[0174] The second activation component 1093 has an activation part 1093A. The second cam 299 is spaced away from the activation part 1093A when the first and second actuating components 42 and 44 are positioned in their first and second rest positions P21 and P951, respectively. The second cam 299 presses the activation part 1093A when the second input component 987 is pivoted relative to the first input component 992 by the pivot angle AG1. Thus, the second activation component 1093 is pivoted relative to the first input component 992 about the activation pivot axis A105 from the second non-activation position P1081 to the second activation position P1082. Fig. 51). The second activation component 1093 can be contacted with the activation stop 1095A when the second activation component 1093 is in the second activation position P1082.

[0175] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 49, the first cam 297A moves the first activation component 1088 away from the first receiving component 1076 when the second input component 987 is pivoted relative to the first input component 992 by the pivot angle AG1. Thus, the first activation component 1088 is pivoted relative to the first input component 992 about the activation pivot axis A105 from the first activation position P1061 to a first additional activation position P1063. The first activation component 1088 is positioned radially outside the activation stop 976A. Therefore, the first activation component 1088 cannot contact the activation stop 976A when the second input component 987 is pivoted relative to the first input component 992 by the pivot angle AG1.

[0176] As in Fig.As can be seen from Figure 45, the first activation component 1088 comes into contact with the second contact surface 976C due to the preload force of the activation preload component 1089 when the first input component 992 is pivoted relative to the second input component 987 by the pivot angle AG3 in the first direction D51 when the first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the second control position P942. In this state, the first activation component 1088 is positioned in the first activation position P1061. For example, the pivot angle AG3 is greater than the pivot angle AG1 ( Fig. 49).

[0177] As in the Fig. 46 and Fig. As can be seen from Figure 47, the first activation component 1088 can be contacted with the release stop 990A before the first activation component 1088 comes into contact with the activation stop 976A when the first activation component 1088 is positioned in the first activation position P1061 ( Fig. 45). In this state, the first movement M1 of the second actuating component 44 is transmitted via the first input component 992 and the first activation component 1088 to the release component 990. Thus, the positioning component 980 is pivoted against the preload force of the first preloading element 981 about the positioning pivot axis A94 and moves away from the first receiving component 1076.

[0178] The pulling and releasing process of the bicycle actuating device 212 for the second mechanical cable pull C2 is described below with reference to the Fig. Described in sections 53 to 58. Fig. Figure 53 shows the bicycle actuation device 212 in a non-actuated state, in which the illustrated parts are in their rest positions. Fig. Figures 53 to 58 show that the parts of the bicycle actuation device 212 move one after the other when the second actuation component 44 is pivoted from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952 to carry out the pulling process of the second mechanical cable pull C2.

[0179] Specifically, as in the Fig. 53 and Fig. 54 is recognizable when the second actuating component 44 is pivoted by the user, relative to the base component 40, about the second pivot axis A2 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, and the second transmission part 987A of the second input component 987 is pressed by the additional actuating stop 943A of the second actuating component 44 in the direction of the first actuating component 42. Now the second input component 987 is pivoted relative to the first input component 992 about the rotation axis A97 by the pivot angle AG1 in the first direction D51 ( Fig. 49). Thus, the first activation component 1088 is pivoted from the first activation position P1061 to the first non-activation position P1062. This prevents the first activation component 1088 from engaging the activation stop 976A of the first receiving component 1076, even if the first input component 992 is pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the first receiving component 1076.

[0180] As further in Fig. As can be seen from 55, the second cam 299 moves the activation part 1093A so that the second activation component 1093 is pivoted when the second input component 987 is pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 by the pivot angle AG1 relative to the first input component 992 ( Fig. 43). Thus, the second activation component 1093 can engage in the activation stop 1095A when the first input component 992 is pivoted in the first direction D51 with respect to the base component 40.

[0181] As in the Fig. 56 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 57, the second input component 987, the first input component 992, and the second actuating component 44 are pivoted integrally with respect to the base component 40, together with the first actuating component 42, in the first direction D51 when the first actuating component 42 is further pivoted about the first pivot axis A1 in the first direction D51 with respect to the base component 40. Thus, the second receiving component 1095 is pivoted from the additional rest position P991 in the first direction D51 with respect to the base component 40, while the first receiving component 1076 is in the first control position P941. Thus, the switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 is tightened when the second actuating component 44 and the first actuating component 42 are pivoted together about the first pivot axis A1 with respect to the base component 40.If the second actuating component 44 is returned to the second rest position P951 by switching off or reducing the actuating force exerted by the user on the second actuating component 44, the switching cable C22 of the second mechanical cable pull C2 is released (returned) to the second cable rest position P1071.

[0182] The pulling process of the bicycle actuation device 212 for the first mechanical cable pull C1 is described below with reference to the Fig. 43 and 58 to 60 are described in detail. Fig. Figure 43 shows the bicycle actuation device 212 in a non-actuated state, in which the illustrated parts are in their rest positions. Fig. Figures 58 to 63 show that the parts of the bicycle actuation device 212 move one after the other when the first actuation component 42 is pivoted from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 and then back to the first rest position P21 to carry out the pulling process of the first mechanical cable pull C1.

[0183] As in the Fig. 43 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 58, when the first actuating element 942 is pivoted by the user about the first pivot axis A1 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22 relative to the base component 40, the first transmission part 992A of the first input component 992 is pressed by the first actuating element 942. Thus, the first input component 992 is pivoted about the rotation axis A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40, while the second actuating component 44 (i.e., the second actuating element 944 and the second input component 987) remains stationary relative to the base component 40. This brings the first activation component 1088 into engagement with the activation stop 976A of the first receiving component 1076.

[0184] As in the Fig. 59 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 60, when the first actuating component 42 (i.e., the first actuating body 942 and the first input component 992) is pivoted further about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40, the first receiving component 1076 is also pivoted about the axis of rotation A97 in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. This causes the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable pull C1 to be energized in response to the pivoting movement of the first actuating component 42. The first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the second control position P942 relative to the base component 40 by the positioning component 980 and the second positioning stop 985. This positions the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable pull C1 in the cable-actuated position.

[0185] The release procedure of the bicycle actuation device 212 for the first mechanical cable pull C1 is described below with reference to the Fig. Sections 60 to 63 are described in detail. As in Fig. As can be seen from 60, the first activation component 1088 is positioned in the first activation position P1061 by the second contact surface 976C when the first receiving component 1076 is in the second control position P942. Thus, the first activation component 1088 can come into contact with the release stop 990A of the release component 990 when the first actuating component 42 and the first input component 992 are pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40.

[0186] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 61, the release component 990 is pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40 when the first actuating component 42 and the first input component 992 are pivoted in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. Now the first activation component 1088 is not engaged with the activation stop 976A.

[0187] As in the Fig. 61 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 62, the positioning component 980 is pivoted relative to the base component 40 such that it moves away from the second positioning stop 985 when the first actuating component 42 is pivoted further in the first direction D51 relative to the base component 40. Thus, the first receiving component 1076 can be pivoted in the second direction D52 relative to the base component 40 by the preload force of the control preload element 986 ( Fig. 42). Thus, the guide surface 276D of the first receiving component 1076 guides the first activation component 1088 into the first activation position P1061 in response to the pivoting movement of the first receiving component 1076. This brings the first activation component 1088 into engagement with the activation stop 976A, thereby stopping the pivoting movement of the first receiving component 1076.

[0188] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 63, the positioning component 980 is separated from the release stop 990A when the first activation component 1088 is pivoted into the first activation position P1061. The release component 990 can then be returned to its rest position via the positioning component 980 by the preload force of the first preload element 981. The release component 990 is stopped in its rest position by the first projection 990C and the stop pin 987C.

[0189] As in the Fig. 53 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 63, the second input component 987, the first actuating element 942, and the first input component 992 are returned to their rest positions when the second actuating element 944 is returned to the second rest position P951. Now, the first receiving component 1076 is pivoted in the second direction D52 relative to the base component 40, which engages the positioning component 980 with the first positioning stop 984. Thus, the first receiving component 1076 is positioned in the first control position P941 relative to the base component 40, thereby positioning the switching cable C12 of the first mechanical cable pull C1 in a cable rest position.

[0190] The bicycle actuation device 212 has the following features.

[0191] The protective component 297 is designed to move together with the second actuating component 44, thereby preventing the first activation component 1088 from activating the first receiving component 1076 in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuating component 42 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22, the receiving component 1076 moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72. When the second actuating component 44 is moved relative to the base component 40, the protective component 297 moves together with the second actuating component 44 relative to the base component 40.The protective component 297 prevents the first activation component 1088 from activating the first receiving component 1076 in such a way that, during the movement of the first actuating component 42 from the first rest position P21 to the first actuated position P22, the receiving component moves in at least one of the first pull activation direction D71 and the first release activation direction D72. Consequently, the first bicycle component B85 and the second bicycle component B9 can be actuated separately via the first mechanical cable C1 and the second mechanical cable C2, even if the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44 are moved simultaneously relative to the base component 40. This improves the operability of the bicycle actuating device 212.

[0192] The first mounting component 1076 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. The second mounting component 1095 is rotatably coupled to the base component 40 about the axis of rotation A97. Consequently, the bicycle actuation device 212 can be made compact, since the first mounting component 1076 and the second mounting component 1095 are rotatable about the same axis of rotation A97 with respect to the base component 40.

[0193] The first actuating assembly 268 and the second actuating assembly 270 are at least partially located within the interior 40A. The base component 40 protects the first actuating assembly 268 and the second actuating assembly 270.

[0194] The first activation component 1088 is movable relative to the first actuating component 42 between the first activation position P1061, in which the movement of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076, and the first non-activation position P1062, in which the movement of the first actuating component 42 is not transmitted via the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076. The first non-activation position P1062 is further away from the first receiving component 1076 than the first activation position P1061. Consequently, the movement of the first actuating component 42 can be transmitted via the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076, and it can be prevented that the movement of the first actuating component 42 is transmitted via the first activation component 1088 to the first receiving component 1076 according to the position of the first activation component 1088.

[0195] The protective component 297 has the first cam 297A for moving the first activation component 1088 in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, and from the first activation position P1061 to the first non-activation position P1062. Consequently, the position of the first activation component 1088 can be changed by using the first cam 297A of the protective component 297. Thus, the protective component 297 and the first activation component 1088 can prevent the movement of the first actuating component 42, in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44, from being transmitted to the first receiving component 1076.

[0196] The first cam 297A is provided on the second actuating component 44. Consequently, the design of the first actuating component 42 and the protective component 297 can be simplified.

[0197] The second actuating assembly 270 includes the second activation component 1093, which is operationally coupled to the second receiving component 1095 such that it activates the second receiving component 1095, causing it to move in at least one of the second pull activation direction D61 and the second release activation direction D62. The first activation component 1088 and the second activation component 1093 are attached to the first actuating component 42. Consequently, the design of at least one of the first actuating component 42, the first activation component 1088, and the second activation component 1093 can be simplified.

[0198] The first activation component 1088 is pivotally connected to the first actuating component 42 about the activation pivot axis A105. The second activation component 1093 is pivotally connected to the first actuating component 42 about the activation pivot axis A105. Consequently, the design of at least one of the first actuating component 42, the first activation component 1088, and the second activation component 1093 can be simplified.

[0199] The protective component 297 is partially arranged between the first activation component 1088 and the second activation component 1093. Consequently, the bicycle actuation device 212 can be made compact.

[0200] The second activation component 1093 is movable relative to the first actuating component 42 between the second activation position P1082, in which the movement of the second actuating component 44 is transmitted via the second activation component 1093 to the second receiving component 1095, and the second non-activation position P1081, in which the movement of the second actuating component 44 is not transmitted via the second activation component 1093 to the second receiving component 1095. The second non-activation position P1081 is further away from the second receiving component 1095 than the second activation position P1082.Consequently, the movement of the second actuating component 44 can be transmitted via the second activation component 1093 to the second receiving component 1095, and it can be prevented that the movement of the second actuating component 44 is transmitted via the second activation component 1093 to the second receiving component 1095 according to the position of the second activation component 1093.

[0201] The second actuating assembly 270 has an activation preload component 1089 for preloading the second activation component 1093 into the second non-activation position P1081. Consequently, the position of the second actuating component 44 can be stabilized in the second non-activation position P1081.

[0202] The second actuating component 44 has the second cam 299 for moving the second activation component 1093 into the second activation position P1082. Consequently, the position of the second activation component 1093 can be changed in response to the movement of the second actuating component 44.

[0203] The second cam 299 is provided on the second actuating component 44. Consequently, the design of the second actuating component 44 can be simplified.

[0204] The first actuating assembly 268 includes the first positioning assembly 278 for positioning the first receiving component 1076 in several control positions. The second actuating assembly 270 is designed such that the second receiving component 1095 is movable relative to the base component 40 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952, without the second mechanical cable C2 being mechanically positioned relative to the base component 40 during the movement of the second actuating assembly 44 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952. Consequently, a first bicycle component B85 with several activated positions and a second bicycle component B9 with only two activated positions can be actuated separately.

[0205] The switching assembly 266 is designed to activate the first bicycle component B85 in response to the movement of the first actuating component 42 and the second bicycle component B9 in response to the simultaneous movement of the first and second actuating components 42 and 44, resulting from a stop between the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44. Consequently, the first bicycle component B85 and the second bicycle component B9 can be actuated separately using the first actuating component 42 and the second actuating component 44.

[0206] Below, a bicycle actuation device 312 according to a third embodiment is described with reference to the Fig. Sections 64 to 67 describe in detail. The bicycle actuation device 312 has the same construction as the bicycle actuation device 12, except for the basic component, the first actuation component, and the second actuation component. Therefore, elements that have essentially the same function as those in the above embodiments are numbered the same here and, for the sake of brevity, are not described and / or illustrated again in detail.

[0207] As in the Fig. 64 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 65, the bicycle actuation device 312 comprises a base component 340, a first actuation component 342, and a second actuation component 344. The base component 340 is designed to be mounted on the bicycle frame B0. In this embodiment, the base component 340 is designed to be mounted on the handlebar B302 of the bicycle frame B0. The handlebar B302 is a training handlebar. The base component 340 has a mounting structure 352. The base component 340 is mounted on the handlebar B302 via the mounting structure 352. The base component 340 is a stationary component when mounted on the handlebar B302. The mounting structure 352 preferably has a strap closure or a similar construction used in a road shifter for mounting the training handlebar.

[0208] The first actuating component 342 is movable relative to the base component 340 between the first rest position P21 and the first actuated position P22 such that it activates the first bicycle component B9. In the bicycle actuating device 12 of the first embodiment, the first actuating component 42 comprises the first actuating body 942 and the first input component 992, which is separately movable relative to the first actuating body 942. However, the first actuating component 342 is integrally movable relative to the base component 340. Specifically, the first actuating component 342 is pivotally connected to the base component 340 about the first pivot axis A1.

[0209] The second actuating component 344 is movable relative to the base component 340 between the second rest position P951 and the second actuated position P952 such that it activates the second bicycle component B85, which is different from the first bicycle component B9. In the bicycle actuating device 12 of the first embodiment, the second actuating component 44 comprises the second actuating body 944 and the second input component 987, which is separately movable relative to the second actuating body 944. However, the second actuating component 344 is integrally movable relative to the base component 340. Specifically, the second actuating component 344 is pivotally connected to the base component 340 about the second pivot axis A2. In this embodiment, the function of the brake actuating lever in the second actuating component 344 has been omitted. Thus, the first pivot axis A1 and the second pivot axis A2 always coincide with the rotation axis A97.

[0210] As in the Fig. 66 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 67, the bicycle actuation device 312 has the switching construction 66, which is designed to activate the first bicycle component B9 in response to a movement of the first actuation component 342 and the second bicycle component B85 in response to a simultaneous movement of the first and second actuation components 342 and 344, which results from a stop between the first actuation component 342 and the second actuation component 344.

[0211] The bicycle actuation device 312 comprises a first actuation assembly 368 and a second actuation assembly 370. The first actuation assembly 368 comprises the first receiving component 995, the first actuation component 342, and the first activation component 993. The first actuation assembly 368 has essentially the same design as the first actuation assembly 68 of the first embodiment, except for the first actuation component 342. Therefore, these will not be described in detail here for the sake of brevity.

[0212] The second actuating assembly 370 comprises the second receiving component 976, the second actuating component 344, and the second activation component 988. The second actuating assembly 370 has essentially the same design as the second actuating assembly 70 of the first embodiment, except for the second actuating component 344. Therefore, these will not be described in detail here for the sake of brevity.

[0213] The second actuating component 344 has the actuating stop 344C, which can contact the first actuating component 342. The actuating stop 344C has a stop path PT31, which is defined from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952. During a movement of the second actuating component 344 from the second rest position P951 to the second actuated position P952, the first actuating component 342 is located on the stop path PT31 and comes into contact with the actuating stop 344C.

[0214] The actuating stop 344C is arranged opposite the first actuated position P22 of the first actuating component 342 with respect to the first rest position P21 of the first actuating component 342 when the second actuating component 344 is in the second rest position P951.

[0215] The bicycle actuation device 312 can achieve essentially the same effects as the bicycle actuation device 12 of the first embodiment.

[0216] Furthermore, the actuating stop 344C is positioned relative to the first actuated position P22 of the first actuating component 342 with respect to the first rest position P21 of the first actuating component 342 when the second actuating component 344 is in the second rest position P951. Consequently, the protective component 97 can be moved together with the second actuating component 344 with respect to the base component 340 before the first actuating component 342 moves relative to the base component 340 in response to the movement of the second actuating component 344.
