Abstract
Abstract A control lever unit is removably mounted on the handle bars of a motorcycle, bicycle or the like. The frame of the unit is provided with a slideway in which a slide is longitudinally movable by a bifurcate spur depending from a lever pivoted in the frame. The wire of a Bowden cable assembly passes through a central opening in the slide and between the bifurcations of the lever spur to an anchorage in the frame, while the slide itself engages the tube of the Bowden cable assembly to effect movement of it and thus move the remote device to be controlled, such as the clutch or brake of the vehicle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A control lever assembly comprising a frame having a longitudinally extending base adapted for attachment to a tubular vehicle part, a slideway paralleling said base and having an abutment at one end including an anchorage for the wire of a Bowden cable assembly and parallel side walls, a pivotal mounting carried between said side walls at a position with respect to said base which is beyond said slideway, a control lever rockably mounted by said pivotal mounting and having a birfucate spur extending into said slideway, and an arm extending beyond said sidewalls generally perpendicularly in relation to said spur, and an actuating slide longitudinally movable in said slideway and having a central passage for the wire of a Bowden cable assembly anchored by attachment to said anchorage, an abutment adjacent one end engageable by said spur, and means adjacent its opposite end for engaging the tube of a Bowden cable assembly the wire of which is anchored as aforesaid, to effect sliding movement of said tube in relation to such a wire.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
