Indicator unit for a bicycle shift control device

An indicator unit for engaging a first control cable connected to a first bicycle shift control device and for engaging a second control cable connected to a second bicycle shift control device, wherein the indicator unit comprises:

• a housing:
• a first handlebar attachment member for attaching the housing to a handlebar;
• a first intermediate member;
• a first coupling member coupled to the first intermediate member for coupling the first intermediate member for movement with the first control cable;
• a separate first indicating member viewable from outside the housing, wherein the first indicating member engages the first intermediate member so that movement of the first intermediate member causes movement of the first indicating member;
• a first gear that moves in response to movement of the first intermediate member;
• a second gear coupled to the first indicating member;
• wherein the first gear engages the second gear so that the first indicating member moves in response to movement of the first intermediate member;
• a second intermediate member;
• a second coupling member coupled to the second intermediate member for coupling the second intermediate member for movement with the second control cable;
• a separate second indicating member viewable from outside the housing, wherein the second indicating member engages the second intermediate member so that movement of the second intermediate member causes movement of the second indicating member;
• a first biasing mechanism for biasing the first intermediate member in a first direction;
• a second biasing mechanism for biasing the second intermediate member in a second direction;
• wherein the first direction is different from the second direction;
• a cam surface retained to one of the second intermediate member and the second indicating member;
• a cam follower retained to the other one of the second intermediate member and the second indicating member;
• and
• wherein the cam follower slides along the cam surface for causing the second indicating member to move in response to movement of the second intermediate member.

An indicator unit for engaging a control cable connected to a bicycle shift control device, wherein the indicator unit comprises:

• a housing;
• a handlebar attachment member for attaching the housing to a handlebar;
• an intermediate member that is a separate member from the control cable and that moves along a guide surface retained to the housing;
• a coupling member coupled to the intermediate member for coupling the intermediate member to the control cable at the housing so that the intermediate member moves linearly in a same direction as the control cable;
• a separate indicating member engaging the intermediate member so that movement of the intermediate member along the guide surface causes the indicating member to rotate around a rotational axis;
• and
• wherein the indicating member is exposed for viewing when viewed in a direction along the rotational axis.

An indicator unit for engaging a first control cable connected to a first bicycle shift control device and for engaging a second control cable connected to a second bicycle shift control device, wherein the indicator unit comprises:

• a housing;
• a first handlebar attachment member for attaching the housing to a handlebar;
• a first intermediate member;
• a first coupling member coupled to the first intermediate member for coupling the first intermediate member for movement with the first control cable;
• a separate first indicating member including an elongated lever-shaped first projection viewable from outside the housing, wherein the first indicating member engages the first intermediate member so that movement of the first intermediate member causes movement of the first projection to different viewable positions along the housing;
• a second intermediate member;
• a second coupling member coupled to the second intermediate member for coupling the second intermediate member for movement with the second control cable;
• a separate second indicating member including an elongated lever-shaped second projection viewable from outside the housing, wherein the second indicating member engages the second intermediate member so that movement of the second intermediate member causes movement of the second projection to different viewable positions along the housing.
