New Description [New Technical Field] This is a bicycle control lever for controlling transmissions and/or brakes, especially for durability that meets both lightweight and high rigidity requirements. Good bike control lever. [Prior Art] Bicycles have the advantages of low cost in transportation, easy operation, energy saving, no pollution, flexible mobility, saving road use and parking area, saving road maintenance costs, and having sports functions unmatched by other vehicles. It is one of the most advanced urban transport and one of the best sports equipment for leisure and fitness. In general, the bicycle shift lever operates the transmission via a shifting line, and the bicycle brake lever operates the brake via the brake line. These are applied to the control rod through the rider's finger and converted into an operating shift. The operating force of the line or brake line (connected to the transmission or brake). Regarding the operation of transmissions and brakes, pneumatic or electric methods have recently begun. The control devices for the transmission and the brake are generally divided into a brake-disable type in which the shift lever and the brake lever are integrated, and a separate type in which the shift lever and the brake lever are separately arranged. In particular, road vehicles with lower-bend handles are generally equipped with brake-type dual-purpose control devices. In the process of carrying or carrying the bicycle, the weight is of course as light as possible, and for the bicycle race, the weight reduction of the vehicle body contributes to the improvement of the riding speed, and therefore the bicycle is continuously lightened. General Bicycles -4- M340980's lightweight design, mostly lightweight materials to reduce weight. However, lightweight materials often have problems with poor structural strength. Therefore, it is required to maintain a certain structural strength (rigidity) while being lightweight. To meet this requirement, two different materials can be combined to explore the balance between material weight and structural strength. The brake lever for bicycles of two different materials is used to form a L-shaped plate composed of a short rod and a long rod by shearing the cold-worked metal sheet, and is formed on the long rod side of the L-shaped plate. The embossed strip is covered with a cylindrical body made of a synthetic resin, whereby a brake lever for bicycles having high bending strength and good touch is obtained at low cost (Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, in order to reduce the weight, the conventional brake lever for bicycle is a rectangular reinforcing member formed of a carbon fiber reinforcing material to form a U-shaped cross-section of the brake lever, and a plastic sheet is welded to the back surface thereof in order to enhance the strength of the brake lever (patent Document 3). [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 1 973-39799 (Patent Document 2) US Patent No. 3 8 3 094 1 [Patent Document 3] US Patent US 6 1 703 56 B1 [New Content] Patent Document 1. In 2, since the large part of the brake lever is made of solid metal, the weight is increased, so the effect of weight reduction is not good. Further, in Patent Document 3, since the entire brake lever is made of a carbon fiber reinforced material, it can be said that it is quite excellent from the viewpoint of weight reduction, but its rigidity is slightly insufficient -5-M340980 is insufficient. In Patent Document 3, in order to enhance the rigidity of the brake lever, a rectangular reinforcing member is provided on the back surface thereof, but the rigidity of the entire brake lever cannot be achieved. In particular, in the case of the brake-discrete type in which the shift lever and the brake operation are performed using the integrated lever as described above, it is necessary to rotate in different directions during the shifting and braking operations, and therefore the configuration is required, except It can withstand the "power to press in the direction of the rider" and must also withstand the "pushing force toward the side of the rider." Not only is the brake-disabled dual-use type, even in the case of a bicycle falling to the ground, it must be required to have a certain rigidity to avoid deformation. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle control lever which is excellent in durability and which is capable of satisfying both the requirements for weight reduction and high rigidity. In order to achieve the above object, the bicycle control lever provided by the first creation of the present invention is provided. A first member made of a carbon fiber material and a second member made of a metal material; the first member and the second member each having at least one rotating shaft insertion hole>; the first member and the second member; When combined, the rotation shaft insertion hole of the first member and the rotation shaft insertion hole of the second member are aligned with each other. Further, in the bicycle control lever according to the first aspect of the invention, preferably, the central axis of the rotary shaft insertion hole of the first member and the central axis of the rotary shaft insertion hole of the second member are rotated toward the control lever. Move in the direction of the brake device. Further, in the first bicycle control lever of the first aspect, the central axis of the rotary shaft insertion hole of the first configuration -6 - M340980 and the central axis of the rotary shaft insertion hole of the second member are preferably The direction of the shifting device is extended by rotating the lever. Further, in order to achieve the above object, a bicycle control lever according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a first member made of a carbon fiber material and a second member made of a metal material; the first member and the first member At least one of the two members has at least one rotary shaft insertion hole; the central axis of the rotary shaft insertion hole extends in a direction in which the control lever is rotated to actuate the shifting device. Further, in the bicycle control lever according to the second aspect of the invention, preferably, the other of the second member and the second member has at least one of the rotary shaft insertion holes; and when the first member and the second member are combined, the aforementioned The rotary shaft insertion hole of the first member and the rotary shaft insertion hole of the second member are aligned with each other. According to the structure of the first creation, since the bicycle control lever having the composite structure including the first member of the carbon fiber material and the second member of the metal material is used, it is possible to reduce the weight and the rotation of the first member. The rotating shaft insertion hole and the rotating shaft insertion hole of the second member are aligned with each other, and are subjected to a frictional force generated by a reverse rotation operation, and the rotating shaft insertion hole is in a severe condition, and can be made of metal. The second member of the material is reinforced, and the doctor can obtain a lightweight and highly rigid bicycle control lever. In addition, according to the structure of the first creation, the rotation of the first member -7- M340980 The central axis of the shaft insertion hole and the central axis of the rotation shaft insertion hole of the second member extend in a direction in which the control lever is rotated to actuate the brake device, and even if the control lever is repeatedly rotated in order to actuate the brake device, Since the rotary shaft insertion hole is reinforced by the metal material and can withstand the frictional force generated by the rotation, a bicycle control lever that is lightweight and durable can be obtained. Further, according to the structure of the first creation, the central axis of the rotary shaft insertion hole of the first member and the central axis of the rotary shaft insertion hole of the second member are rotated toward the control lever to actuate the shifting device. In the direction of extension, even if the control lever is repeatedly rotated in order to actuate the shifting device, the rotating shaft insertion hole can withstand the frictional force generated by the rotation by the reinforcing of the metal material, so that lightweight and durable can be obtained. Bicycle control lever. Further, according to the structure of the second creation, since the bicycle control lever having the composite structure including the first member of the carbon fiber material and the second member of the metal material is used, the weight can be reduced, and the metal material can be used. The second member is reinforced, and a bicycle control lever that satisfies both the requirements of weight reduction and high-rigidity and the biochemical requirements can be obtained. Further, according to the second creation structure, since the rotation shaft insertion hole of the first member and the rotation shaft insertion hole of the second member are aligned with each other, even if the control lever is repeatedly rotated for the movement device, The rotation shaft insertion hole can withstand the friction generated by the rotation by the reinforcement of the metal material, and thus the bicycle control lever having a good stomach_longness can be obtained.

The first drawing shows an exploded perspective view in which the first lever is decomposed into the first member and the second member. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing the combination of the first member and the second member of the drawing into the first lever. First, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a pair of control devices 1 2, 14 are provided on the handle 15 of the bicycle. The right-handed right-hand control device 1 2 is connected to the rear derailleur 16 and the rear brake 17 via a shift line 20 and a brake line 2 2, respectively. The left-handed left hand control unit 14 is connected to the front derailleur 18 and the front brake unit 19 via a shift line 24 and a brake line 26, respectively. Since the configurations of the right-handed and left-handed control devices 1 2, 14 are completely the same, the following description will be made only for the left-hand control device 14. As shown in Figs. 3 to 6, the left hand control unit 14 mainly includes a carriage unit 30, a lever unit 3 2, and a shift control unit 34 provided in the carriage unit 30. As shown in Fig. 8, the carriage unit 30 and the control -9 - M340980 lever unit 32 are two independent units that can be combined with each other. Further, the carriage unit 30 is fixed to the handle 15. A cover 39 is provided at an end of the bracket unit 30 opposite to the handle 15, and the lever unit 32 is mounted below the cover 39. As shown in FIG. 8, the lever unit 32 mainly includes a mounting member 40, a first lever 41, and a second lever 42. The mounting member 40 is assembled under the cover 39 so that the latch 44 is inserted into the through hole 36, whereby the mounting member 40 can be rotated relative to the bracket unit 30 about the brake pivot BA. Further, as shown in Fig. 3, in the attachment member 40, the first lever 41 and the second lever 42 are pivotally connected to each other so as to be rotatable around the first and second shifting pivots PA1 and PA2. When the lever unit 32 is in a stationary state, the first and second levers 4, 42 are arranged along the brake actuating path. Further, as shown in Fig. 5, when the brake operation is performed, the first and second control levers 41, 42 are moved together in the BP direction. The first control lever 41 of the present invention can perform a brake function when it is rotated about the brake pivot BA in the BP direction (refer to FIG. 5), and can perform a shift rise when rotating in the P direction around the first shift pivot PA1. Since the first control lever 41 is a dual-purpose control lever (corresponding to the bicycle control lever of the present invention) having both the brake and the shifting function. As shown in Fig. 6, when the shift upshift is performed, the first and second control levers 41, 42 are rotated together around the first and second shifting pivots PA1, PA2 in the P direction. Further, as shown in Fig. 7, when the shift downshift is performed, the first lever 41 is held stationary, and the second lever 42 is individually rotated about the second shift pivot P A 2 in the P direction. -10- M340980 As shown in Fig. 9, the mounting member 40 is provided with a wire fixing member 46 for connecting the brake wire 26, and a positioning mechanism 47 for holding the first lever 41 in a stationary state, by The ball 47a of the positioning mechanism 47 is pressed against the groove above the first lever 41 to prevent the first lever 41 from being rotated about the pivot PA1. Further, the first lever 41 is pivotally connected to the attachment member 40 via the bolt 48, and a torsion spring 49 is fitted over the bolt 48 to bias the first lever 4 1 toward the rest position (non-shift position). As described above, when the mounting member 40 is rotated about the brake pivot BA with respect to the bracket unit 30, the first lever 4 1 is rotated integrally with the mounting member 40 (refer to the fifth). Figure). When the first control lever 41 is pushed and rotated about the pivot axis PA1 from the rest position to the shift position, the first lever 4 1 interlocks the shifting unit 34 to perform the shift upshift operation. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 1, the first control lever 41 of the present invention includes a first member 401 made of a carbon fiber material and a second member 42 0 made of a metal material. The first member 410 has a rotary shaft insertion hole 4 1 1 , and the second member 42 1 has two rotary shaft insertion holes 421 and 421. When the first member 410 and the second member 420 are combined into the first control lever 41, the rotary shaft insertion hole 41 1 of the first member 410 and the rotary shaft insertion holes 421 and 421 of the second member 42 0 are mutually connected. alignment. Further, the combination of the first member 401 and the second member 420 is not particularly limited. For example, the simplest method is to bond the two together with an adhesive. Further, the central axis C of the rotary shaft insertion hole 41 1 of the first member 41 0 and the central axis C of the rotary shaft insertion hole 421 of the second member 420 are rotated toward the first lever 41 of the M340980. Extends in the direction in which the shifting operation is performed. That is, the direction of the center axis C is parallel to the direction of the first shifting pivot PA1 shown in FIG. On the other hand, the central axis C of the rotary shaft insertion hole 4 1 1 of the first member 4 10 and the central axis C of the rotary shaft insertion hole 421 of the second member 420 can also be used to make the first control lever 41 is rotated to extend the direction of the braking action. In this case, the direction of the center axis C is parallel to the direction of the brake pivot BA shown in Fig. 3. According to this configuration, since the first control lever 41 having the composite structure of the i-th member 410 including the carbon fiber material and the second member 420 of the metal material is used, the weight can be reduced, and the third member 4 i 〇 The rotary shaft insertion hole 4 1 1 and the rotary shaft insertion hole 42 1 of the second member 42 0 are aligned with each other, and are subjected to a frictional force generated by a reverse rotation operation, etc., and are rotated under severe conditions. Since the shaft insertion holes 42 0 and 421 can be reinforced by the second member 420 made of a metal material, a bicycle control lever having high durability and high rigidity can be obtained. Further, according to the configuration of the present invention, the central axis C of the rotary shaft insertion hole 4 1 1 of the first member 41 0 and the central axis C of the rotary shaft insertion hole 42 1 of the second member 4 2 0 are When the first lever 4 1 is rotated to extend the direction of the shifting operation, even if the first lever 4 1 is repeatedly rotated for the shifting operation, the rotary shaft insertion holes 4 1 1 and 42 1 are transmitted through the metal material. The reinforcing force can withstand the friction generated by the rotation, so that a lightweight and durable bicycle control lever can be obtained. According to the configuration of the present invention, the rotation axis of the first member 4 10 is inserted through the central axis C of the -12-M340980 hole 4 1 1 and the rotary shaft insertion hole 4 of the second member 4 2 0 The central axis C can be extended in the direction in which the first control lever 41 is rotated to perform the braking operation. Even if the i-th control lever 4 1 is repeatedly rotated for the braking operation, the shaft insertion hole 4 1 1 is rotated. 4 1 1 can withstand the friction generated by the rotation by the reinforcement of the metal material, so that the bicycle control lever with light weight and excellent durability can be obtained. According to the bicycle control lever of the present invention, in addition to being able to withstand the "force that is pressed toward the rider in the braking action", it is also possible to withstand the "pushing force toward the side of the rider" during the shifting operation, which is particularly suitable. In the case of shifting and braking operations, it is necessary to rotate the brakes in different directions to change the dual-purpose control device. The above-mentioned "including" and its derivatives are used to define the features, components, components, groups, numbers and/or steps, etc. described in an open manner, but do not exclude other features not mentioned, Components, components, groups, numbers, and/or steps, etc. This definition also applies to terms that have the same meaning, such as "include", "have", "have" and so on. ^ Although the above is an explanation of the implementation of this creation, this creation is not limited to - this. The bicycle control lever of the present invention can of course be applied to a separate control device in which the shift lever and the brake lever are separately arranged.
