Reach adjustment for a handlebar-mounted lever assembly

摘要

A reach-adjustable lever assembly (12) that is mountable to a handlebar (18) for actuating one of a gear-change and braking device. The lever assembly (12) includes a lever (22) with a finger grip (26) pivotably connected to a housing (17) and a reach adjust mechanism (16). The reach adjust mechanism (16) includes a cam actuator (36) and a cam (34). The cam actuator (36) is rotatably supported by one of the housing (17) and the lever (22). The cam (34) is threadably connected to the cam actuator (36) and is configured to engage the other of the housing and the lever. The cam (34) is displaceable upon rotation of the cam actuator (36) to pivot the lever (22) to position the finger grip (26) relative to the handlebar (18).
