Abstract: A speed-changing control mechanism of a multistage speed-changing wheel hub has a planetary gear device comprising a gear support and a plurality of planetary gears. The planetary gears are respectively engaged with a ring gear and sun gears. The rotational power of a drive member is transmitted to the ring gear or the gear support via a sleeve. A speed ratio change is brought about by the action of the planetary gears and the sun gears. The power is finally transmitted to the wheel hub via the gear support or the ring gear. The planetary gears are driven by the power input source portion of the sleeve in conjunction with the action of another sleeve on the fastening shaft, thereby controlling two sets of one-way ratchet pawls opposite in direction to engage or disengage.

Abstract: A bicycle front derailleur with a cam level for smoother gear switching is disclosed. The bicycle derailleur is operated by pulling a wire which shifts a chain between at least a large sprocket, a medium sprocket and a small sprocket. The bicycle front derailleur contains a cam lever which is pivotably connected to a four-linkage chain guide moving system at a pivoting point for pulling the chain guide moving system, and thus shifting the chain, when a cable is pulled in a pulling direction. The cam lever has a cam groove formed on the peripheral surface of the cam lever for receiving the wire. The cam lever is structured such that the radial distance between the cam groove and the pivoting point increases in a direction opposite of the pulling direction, so as to provide a greater effective length vertical to the pulling direction when the wire is subject to a greater linear displacement resulting in a greater counterforce.
