Patent number: 10442497Abstract: An easy-adjustment bicycle gear-shifting system consisting of a microcontroller unit, a memory, a driver and a derailleur is disclosed. The memory has stored therein more than three position tables each containing the position information of the derailleur relative to the chainrings. The position information contained in one position table has a part or all different from the position information contained in every other position table. The position tables are arranged one after another in a proper order corresponding to one same chainring in such a manner that every two adjacent position tables are differed by a distance value corresponding to one same chainring. The microcontroller unit selects one position table, and drives the driver to shift the derailleur to the corresponding position according to the position information of the selected position table.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: AD-II Engineering Inc.Inventor: Chi-Ming Chien

Patent number: 10124857Abstract: A clutch unit of a bicycle derailleur includes a main body, a cover for the main body, a positioning assembly, and a pressure-applying assembly. Both assemblies are received in a space between the main body and the cover. The main body has a top side with a receiving groove and is pivotally connected with a rotating shaft, which extends out of a bottom portion of the receiving groove. The positioning assembly includes a ratchet, a pawl, and an elastic member. The ratchet is pivotally connected in the receiving groove, can rotate with the rotating shaft, and has ratchet teeth annularly arranged at an equal spacing. The pawl is adjacent to and can move toward and away from the ratchet, has a meshing tooth for meshing with the corresponding ratchet tooth, and is elastically biased toward the ratchet by the elastic member. The pressure-applying assembly applies resistance to the ratchet.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: AD-II ENGINEERING INC.Inventor: Kuei-Jung Chan
