Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a brake lever device for use on the handlebar of a bicycle. With conventional brake lever devices, the center of rotation of the brake lever is a large distance away from the axis of the handlebar, radially outwardly of the bar, and the Bowden cable connected to the lever is correspondingly projected and is very likely to be caught by an obstacle, while the arrangement involves waste of materials. Accordingly, to position the center (O) of rotation of a brake lever (43) close to the central axis of the handlebar (1), a pivot (4) for the brake lever (43) is positioned perpendicular to the central axis (C) of a handlebar inserting bore (5) of a brakcet (2).
