The drawings illustrate a gearshift mechanism including a gearshift lever bowl assembly mounted above the upper column housing and encompassing a steering column-mounted gearing arrangement which is responsive to rotary movement of a manually actuated selector lever to axially actuate a cable extending to a transmission shift lever.
Abstract:
A hand control device for the speed change gear mechanism of a bicycle comprising a drive means mounted rotatably around a handle rod in the proximity of the grip of this rod, a driven means being rotatable along with the movement of said drive means provided with an operable wire which is connected in its one end with the speed change gear and connected in its other end with said driven means so that said driven means is moved by the movement of said drive means to operate the gearshift for changing the speed whereby a rider can control the speed easily and safely with the fingertip of his hand grasping the handle grip.
Abstract:
A REMOTELY CONTROLLED ROTARY INPUT SIGNAL MEANS COMPRISING A REGULAR POLYGON MOUNTED FOR ROTATION AND A SELECTIVELY CONTOURED CAM MEMBER TRANSLATABLE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE POLYGON AND CONTOURED SO AS TO LOCK THE POLYGON IN NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN CENTERED AND SO AS TO CAUSE THE POLYGON, AND THE SHAFT ATTACHED TO THE POLYGON, TO ROTATE TWO INCREMENTS IN ONE DIRECTION AS THE CAM MEMBER IS MOVED LEFTWARDLY AND THEN BACK TO CENTER, OR TO CAUSE THE POLYGON TO ROTATE TWO INCREMENTS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS THE CAM MEMBER IS TRANSLATED RIGHTWARDLY AND THEN BACK TO CENTER.
