Responsive to a hydraulic piston advancing out of a piston housing in a second brake arm and contacting a piston cam surface of a first brake arm, the second brake arm pivots around a second pivot. As this is happening, a cam surface in the second brake arm lifts a contact surface of a first force transfer member of the first brake arm, imparting torque to the first brake arm which then pivots around a first pivot. The cam surface is shaped to impart synchronous motion to the first and second pad holders. Splitting one of the brake arms with a centering member permits a centering adjust feature.

Cable Operated Left-Hand Rear Brake System

Номер: US20180015983A1
Автор: Charles Robert Schueller
Принадлежит: Individual

A cable operated left-hand rear brake system for off-road motorbikes and closed-course motorbikes consists of a handlebar-mounted brake lever, a brake cable, a cable perch, and a cable adapter. The handlebar-mounted brake lever provides the user with an alternative method to apply the rear breaks in addition to the existing foot lever. The brake cable is connected to the handlebar-mounted brake lever at a first end and the cable adapter at a second end. The cable adapter is mounted to the existing braking system of the motorbike. Therefore, when the user intends to apply the rear brakes, the handlebar-mounted brake lever is compressed such that the cable adapter pivots to control the existing braking system. The cable perch is used to position the guide the brake cable from the handlebar-mounted brake lever to the cable adapter.

A hydraulic control valve for an ATV or motorcycle takes hydraulic input from a hand brake lever as an input to a first cavity of the control valve with a movable piston therein, and from a foot brake lever as an input to a second cavity of the control valve with a movable piston therein, with the two pistons being linked. A bypass channel extends around the piston in the first cavity, which is closed off when the first piston moves longitudinally. The output of the first cavity hydraulically controls braking of the front wheel(s). The foot brake lever also pressurizes a direct line to brake the rear wheel(s) that doesn't go through the control valve.

A normally closed port valve seals a hydraulic hose connection port of a hydraulic bicycle component. Connection of an end of a hydraulic hose assembly to the port opens the valve, placing the assembly's hydraulic fluid chamber in fluid communication with the interior of the hose assembly. A hydraulic cylinder of the assembly is in fluid communication with the chamber. A spring may be used to bias the valve to a closed condition and simultaneously to bias a brake actuating piston to a non-actuated position. 2. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 1 , wherein a valve base of the port valve is disposed between the piston and the attachment member.3. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 1 , wherein the port valve is disposed in the housing.4. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 3 , wherein the hydraulic fluid chamber and the hydraulic hose connection port are formed by the housing.5. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 4 , wherein the spring is disposed in the hydraulic fluid chamber.6. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 5 , wherein the spring is further configured to bias the piston to the non-actuated position.7. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 1 , further comprising a separate spring configured to bias the piston to the non-actuated position.9. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 8 , further comprising a spring configured to bias the port valve to the closed position.10. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 9 , wherein the spring is a coil spring disposed coaxially with the cylinder.11. The hydraulic bicycle component of claim 10 , wherein the spring is configured to bias the piston to the non-actuated position.12. A hydraulic component for a road bicycle comprising:a road brake hand lever assembly;a hydraulic fluid chamber disposed within the road brake hand lever assembly;a connection port disposed within the road brake hand lever assembly and configured to be connected to a hydraulic hose assembly; anda port valve ...

A base member includes a first end to be mounted to a bicycle handlebar and a second end opposite to the first end. An operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis. A hydraulic unit is coupled to the operating member to operate a bicycle component in response to an operation of the operating member. At least part of the hydraulic unit is disposed closer to the first end than the first pivot axis when viewed from a first direction parallel to the first pivot axis. A wireless communicator is to wirelessly transmit a signal to an additional component in response to the input operation. A power supply is electrically connected to the wireless communicator. At least one of the wireless communicator and the power supply is disposed closer to the second end than the first pivot axis when viewed from the first direction. 1.
