    Abstract: An operating device comprises a base and an operating member. The base includes a base body and a cover. The cover includes an upper outer surface, a first lateral outer surface, a second lateral outer surface, a first shoulder, and a second shoulder. The first shoulder is provided between the upper outer surface and the first lateral outer surface. The first shoulder includes a first curved surface connecting the upper outer surface and the first lateral outer surface. The second shoulder is provided between the upper outer surface and the second lateral outer surface. The second shoulder includes a second curved surface connecting the upper outer surface and the second lateral outer surface. The first curved surface is gentler than the second curved surface as viewed in a longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: An operating device for a human-powered vehicle includes a base member and an operating member. The base member includes a first end portion, a second end portion, a base body, and an accommodating structure. The first end portion is configured to be coupled to a handlebar. The second end portion is opposite to the first end portion. The base body is configured to accommodate at least one of a hydraulic unit. The accommodating structure is configured to accommodate at least one of circuitry accommodating part and a power-supply accommodating part. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a pivot axis. The accommodating structure is a separate member from the base body. The accommodating structure is detachably attached to the base body at the second end portion.

    Abstract: A hydraulic operating device for a small vehicle including a bicycle comprises a base member, a mounting structure, an operating member, and a piston. The base member includes a cylinder bore having a cylinder axis. The mounting structure defines a mounting axis linearly extending along the handlebar in a mounting state where the base member is mounted on a handlebar with the mounting structure. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis between a rest position and an operated position. The cylinder axis is non-perpendicular to the mounting axis as viewed along the first pivot axis in the mounting state. The piston is movably provided in the cylinder bore. The piston is coupled to the operating member to be pulled in response to a pivotal movement of the operating member from the rest position to the operated position.

    Abstract: A hydraulic operating device comprises a base member, an operating member, a piston, and a mounting member. The base member includes a cylinder bore, a first hose-attachment hole, and a second hose-attachment hole. The first hose-attachment hole is configured to be in fluid communication with the cylinder bore. The second hose-attachment hole is configured to be in fluid communication with the cylinder bore. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a pivot axis. The mounting member is configured to couple the base member to a handlebar. The mounting member includes a mount opening through which the handlebar is to extend. The first hose-attachment hole, the second hose-attachment hole, and the mount opening are provided on a reference plane perpendicular to the pivot axis.
