Brake lever device

A brake lever device comprising a cylindrical housing which is attached to project from a handle bar with a base opening of the housing removably held against the handle bar by a fastening band;

• a brake lever pivotally mounted on the housing for movement in a top of the housing;
• a Bowden cable connected for being operated by rotational operation of the brake lever;
• wherein a first inner connector is provided on a lever base as a means for removably clamping an inner wire of the Bowden cable so as to draw the inner wire upwardly into the housing, upon rotation of the brake lever, and a second inner connector is provided on the lever base as a means for removably clamping the inner wire so as to draw the inner wire sidewardly into the housing, the inner wire being selectively connectable to either of both said connectors;
• wherein a port through which the Bowden cable is insertable is notched at a base edge of the housing close to the handle bar and a first outer receiver is provided in the housing at a position closer toward the handle bar than the first inner connector for receiving an outer sheath of the Bowden cable and through which the inner wire is introducable to the first connector, and a second outer receiver is provided on the top of the housing, at a position at an opposite side of the pivotal mounting of the lever from a hand manipulable portion of the lever, for receiving a terminal end of the outer sheath of the Bowden cable and through which the inner wire is introducable to the second wire connector;
• and
• wherein the first inner connector comprises a freely rotatable roll connector having means for removably clamping a terminal end of the inner wire so that, upon pivoting of the lever, the inner wire, when introduced from said port will be pulled relative to the outer sheath, and the second inner connector comprises a freely rotatable roll connector having means for removably clamping said terminal end of the inner wire so that, upon rotation of the lever, the inner wire, when introduced at the housing top will be pulled relative to the outer sheath,
• and wherein a removable rubber cover is provided for mounting over said outer surface of said housing when the Bowden cable is introduced through said port and said cover being removed when the Bowden cable is introduced at the top of the housing.
