  • Patent number: 9721738
    Abstract: In order to improve a hand-actuated transmitter unit for vehicles, in particular for handlebar-controlled vehicles, comprising a housing, an actuating lever which is movable relative to the housing and is coupled to a transmission element such that an actuation of the actuating lever is transmitted by means of the transmission element to a slave unit, such that further functions of a vehicle can be controlled, it is proposed that a detector unit which detects with at least one detector a transition of the actuating lever from a non-actuated state to an actuated state and vice versa is associated with the transmitter unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2017

  • Patent number: 8680436
    Abstract: In order to improve a hand grip for handlebar-steered vehicles, comprising a grip covering, made of a grip-covering material, and an accommodating space which extends, by way of its longitudinal extent, from a plug-in opening in a plug-in direction for a grip component of the handlebar, such that it is seated optimally on the grip component of the handlebar, it is proposed that the accommodating space has at least one wall segment which has at least one abutment surface and at least one recess, the abutment surface having surface sub-regions adapted to an outer surface of the grip component, and the at least one recess being disposed between the surface sub-regions and extending approximately parallel to the plug-in direction, as an adhesive reservoir.
