20080295636 | BICYCLE CONTROL DEVICE - A bicycle control device is basically provided with a base member, a shift control unit, a control member and a first shift operating lever. The shift control unit is mounted to the base member. The control member includes a first portion operatively coupled to the shift control unit and a second portion spaced from the first portion. The first shift operating lever is movably coupled relative to the base member to move along a first shift operating path and movably coupled relative to the base member to move along a non-shift operating path that is non-coincident with the first shift operating path. The first shift operating lever is slidably engaged with the second portion of the control member such that the second portion of the control member is moved when the first shift operating lever is moved along the non-shift operating path with sliding contact therebetween. | 12-04-2008 |
20110279363 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND DISPLAY CONSOLE DISPLAYING PREVIEW IMAGE - In order to provide a technique allowing easy confirmation of image contents even if the number of images increases, a display console includes a display device having an image displaying function and a display control unit controlling the display by dividing a display screen of the display device into an image preview area and another area. The display control unit switches, in accordance with a user instruction, between a fit-to-screen screen image in which area ratio between the preview area and another area has a first value, and a finish preview screen image, an image edition mode screen image, or a document display mode screen image, in which the size of another area is made smaller and the size of preview area is made larger than in the fit-to-screen screen image. | 11-17-2011 |
20130277162 | BICYCLE HYDRAULIC OPERATING DEVICE - A bicycle hydraulic operating device is basically provided with a main body, a hydraulic unit, a handlebar mounting structure and a lever. The main body includes a gripping portion. The hydraulic unit is mounted to the main body. The handlebar mounting structure is disposed on one of the main body and the hydraulic unit. The lever is pivotally mounted to one of the main body and the hydraulic unit. | 10-24-2013 |
20130341129 | BICYCLE BRAKE ARM - A bicycle brake arm includes a sleeve, a brake arm body, first and second abutments and a first bearing member. The brake arm body has a mounting portion. The brake arm body is rotatably arranged with respect to the sleeve. The first and second abutments are axially arranged with respect to each other on the sleeve. At least a part of the brake arm body is disposed between the first and second abutments. The first bearing member is disposed axially on a first outside of the mounting portion of the brake arm body about the sleeve. The first bearing member is axially disposed between the first and second abutments. | 12-26-2013 |
20140144275 | BICYCLE CONTROL DEVICE - A bicycle control device basically includes a housing member, a hydraulic fluid pressure generator, a control lever member and a shift-operating mechanism. The housing member has an attachment part for attachment to a handlebar, and a grip part configured to be gripped by a rider in a riding position. The hydraulic fluid pressure generator has a cylinder provided inside the grip part of the housing member, and a piston movably disposed within the cylinder to generate fluid pressure for controlling a braking device. The control lever member has a first operation lever pivotably coupled relative to the housing member for pivoting about a first axis to operate the piston. The shift-operating mechanism is configured to be coupled to a shifting device by a control cable control. The shift-operating mechanism is mounted on the control lever member. | 05-29-2014 |
20150128798 | BICYCLE HYDRAULIC ACTUATING DEVICE - A bicycle hydraulic actuating device is provided with a housing, a non-linear piston and an operating member. The housing defines a chamber and has a fluid outlet. The non-linear piston is movably disposed in the chamber along a non-linear movement path between a first position and a second position. The operating member is operatively coupled to the non-linear piston so as to move the non-linear piston within the chamber between the first position and the second position in response to movement of the operating member. | 05-14-2015 |
20150217830 | BICYCLE BRAKE ARM - A bicycle brake arm includes a sleeve, a brake arm body, first and second abutments and first and second bearing members. The brake arm body has a mounting portion and is rotatably arranged with respect to the sleeve. The first and second abutments are axially arranged with respect to each other on the sleeve. At least a part of the brake arm body is disposed between the first and second abutments. The first bearing member is disposed axially on a first outside of the mounting portion of the brake arm body. The second bearing member is disposed axially on a second outside of the mounting portion of the brake arm body. The first bearing member is axially disposed between the first and second abutments. One of the first and second bearing members includes a roller bearing and the other of the first and second bearing members includes a dry bearing. | 08-06-2015 |
20160031522 | BICYCLE RIM BRAKE - A bicycle rim brake basically has a first brake arm, a second brake arm and a link. The first brake arm has a first coupling portion configured to pivot about a first pivot axis and a first mounting portion. The second brake arm has a second coupling portion configured to pivot about the first pivot axis and a second mounting portion. The second mounting portion is configured to mount a second friction member. The link is pivotally coupled to the second brake arm about a second pivot axis that is offset from the first pivot axis. The link has a coupling structure configured to be coupled with a movable member and a contact portion contacting the first brake arm. The coupling structure is spaced from the second pivot axis. The contact portion pivots the first and second brake arms about the first pivot axis as the link pivots about the second pivot axis. | 02-04-2016 |
