Abstract
Easy cord-passing structure of shift handle of a bicycle, including a fixing casing fixed around the bicycle handle and having an annular inner cavity. A rotary member is rotatably disposed in the inner cavity for pulling and releasing a steel cord. A cord-guiding link is disposed between the fixing casing and the rotary member. When the cord-guiding link is positioned in a maximum cord-loosening position, two ends of the cord-guiding link are respectively right aimed at the steel cord inlet and outlet of the fixing casing. Therefore, the steel cord can be nearly linearly smoothly passed from the steel cord inlet through the cord-guiding passage to the steel cord outlet and conducted out of the fixing casing.

Easy cord-passing structure of shift handle of a bicycle, comprising:
- a fixing casing formed with a central through hole for the handle of the bicycle to pass therethrough, the fixing casing being fixed around the bicycle handle and having:
- an annular inner cavity formed around the through hole, a locating rack having multiple waved locating teeth, the locating rack having a first end and a second end, the locating rack integrally extending from the annular inner cavity with the second end suspending in the inner cavity, a steel cord inlet being formed through the fixing casing and adjacent to the second end of the locating rack, a steel cord outlet being also formed through the fixing casing and adjacent to the first end of the locating rack;
- a rotary member rotatably disposed on the bicycle handle and connected with the shift handle, the rotary member being positioned in the annular inner cavity of the fixing casing and rotatable along with the shift handle;
- and
- a cord-guiding link having a first end and a second end, the first end being pivotally connected with the rotary member, the second end having a hook section snugly latched with one of the locating teeth, the hook section being slidable into the tooth trough of any other locating tooth and latch therewith, the cord-guiding link having a cord-guiding passage passing from the first end to the second end of the cord-guiding link, the cord-guiding passage being positioned between the steel cord inlet and the steel cord outlet, whereby the steel cord can be conducted from the inlet through the cord-guiding passage to the outlet and out of the fixing casing.
