  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20110266286
    Abstract: In order to provide an afterflow reservoir for a hydraulic actuating device, in particular for a clutch or brake actuating device of motor vehicles, comprising an outlet which can be connected to an actuating cylinder, a container body rising above the outlet and having a storage chamber provided in it for holding hydraulic fluid as well as an air chamber located above a fluid level limiting the storage chamber, with which any intake of air bubbles into the actuating cylinder can be reduced, if not avoided, it is suggested that a separating unit extending at a distance from the fluid level be arranged in the storage chamber, this separating unit dividing the storage chamber into an intake chamber bordering on the outlet and a reserve chamber located between the separating unit and the fluid level, and that hydraulic fluid be able to enter the intake chamber from the reserve chamber through at least one connection between the reserve chamber and the intake chamber.

  • Publication number: 20080196539
    Abstract: In order to improve a lever arrangement for handlebar-steered vehicles, comprising an actuating-lever housing which can be fitted to a handlebar, adjoining a handle, by way of a mounting portion and on which an actuating lever is mounted such that it can be pivoted about an axis, and comprising an adjusting lever which can be moved, by pivoting about a pivot axis, from a stable inactive position, in which the adjusting lever is positioned on that side of its pivot axis which is directed away from the actuating lever, into a stable active position, in which the adjusting lever is positioned on that side of its pivot axis which is directed toward the actuating lever, and vice versa, such that the adjusting lever can be moved out of the active position by straightforward manual actuation, it is proposed that the adjusting lever is mounted in a pivotable manner in an adjusting-lever housing, and in that the adjusting lever, in the active position, has a finger-actuating surface which is at a distance from the han
