  • Patent number: 9823681
    Abstract: An actuation device for bar-end bicycle gearshift comprises a mount adapted to be mounted to the end of handlebars facing forwards in the direction of travel. An actuation part is mounted on the mount in a neutral position with respect to the mount when no gearshifting is commanded. An adjuster is provided for adjusting the neutral position of the actuation part with respect to the mount. A cyclist can adjust the neutral position based on personal physical characteristics and preferences.

  • Patent number: 9327794
    Abstract: The control lever (120) comprises a substantially cylindrical body (130) for mounting in the actuation device (100) and an arm (140), which projects with respect to the body (130) according to a main axis (A) substantially tangential to the upper part of the body (130) and is intended to face forwards in the direction of travel of the bicycle. The arm (140) comprises a first upper pressure area (141), concave and adjacent to the body (130), and a second lower pressure area (142), remote from the body (130).

  • Patent number: 9266581
    Abstract: The disclosed device controls a cable associated with a bicycle gearshift and is particularity configured for securing the body of the device on the forward-facing end of racing bicycle handlebars. A cable winding bobbin, having an internally toothed crown, is provided in the device's body and a drive mechanism rotates the bobbin in the chosen direction to achieve predetermined angular positions. A ratchet mechanism, located between the lever and the toothed crown, includes opposite rocker arms with cam profiles curved away from each other, and a toothed sector for engaging the toothed crown. A pointer is located to be selectively engaged with at least one of the rocker arms so that engagement results in the rocker arm's toothed section being away from the toothed crown, and disengagement results in the rocker arm's toothed section being engaged with the toothed crown.
