    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for determining an operative shift configuration of a drive mechanism (1) of a gearbox (G) of a saddle-ride type vehicle (4). In particular, this method is applied to a drive mechanism (1) comprising a pedal shift lever (12) and a quick-shifter device (5) that connects, directly or indirectly, the lever to the gearbox, where this device includes a rod (10) and first sensor means (SM0, SM1-SM2) that detect the variation of the tension state of said rod (10) following a gear shifting. The method according to the invention includes acquiring a first signal (S1) generated by said first sensor means and determining, based on said first signal, whether the rod is in a traction tension state or in a compression tension state. The method also includes acquiring at least a second signal (S2) generated by second sensor means (SM3) and determining, based on this second signal (S2), the gear engaged following said gear shifting and/or the direction of said gear shifting. Finally, the method includes determining the operative shift configuration of the drive mechanism based on the tension state determined in the step B) and the gear engaged and/or based on the direction of said gear shifting determined in the step D).

    摘要: The invention relates to a gearshift lever for a single-track or multi-track motor vehicle comprising a lever arm and at least one gearshift pedal. The invention further relates to a gearshift pedal for the gearshift lever of a single-track or multi-track vehicle.To prevent damage to the footwear and to be able to execute the shifting process without a great deal of physical effort, there are provisions as per the invention for the gearshift pedal of the gearshift lever to be fastened to the lever arm so as to be so as to be rotatable around the axial direction of the gearshift pedal. As a result, a situation is achieved in which the gearshift pedal can roll off the shoe during the shifting process in the case of a motorcycle, for instance.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a two-speed bicycle transmission that utilizes a backward pedaling power input mode to provide a higher forward driving speed ratio (“lower gear”) inherently, without the intervention of any other means of rider control. Such bicycle transmissions were popular in the early part of the 20th Century and marketed as “Retro-Direct.” Since, bicycle transmissions offering even greater numbers of selectable forward pedaling mode speeds have been developed, but at the expense of complexity and reliability, thereby causing a growing fraction of the cycling public to prefer single-speed bicycles for reasons of lower maintenance and/or minimalist aesthetics. Accordingly, the focus of the present invention is to provide a useful second speed with a minimum of added complexity by adapting a uniquely configured and functionally improved Retro-Direct transmission to the modern bicycle. Additionally, a beneficial backward pedaling exercise mode is reintroduced.

    摘要: A speed change controller is provided on a saddle-ride type vehicle and is suited to manipulation by a foot. The speed change controller for saddle-ride type vehicles comprises a detection mechanism that detects operation by a driver for speed change, and a speed change mechanism that performs speed change on the basis of speed change operation detected by the detection mechanism. The detection mechanism provided by the invention comprises an operation part manipulated by a foot for speed change and including a moving part, which moves relative to the vehicle on the basis of manipulation by a foot, and a detection unit that detects that the moving part moves a predetermined amount or more.
