   Beschrijving 
Fietsrem met duimbedieningssysteem Dit idee is een uitvinding van mij om de bestaande remmen te verbeteren en moderner te maken. De bestaande versie werkt door het aantrekken van een hendel door middel van de vier vingers. Mijn versie werkt met een duwsysteem door middel van de duim. De evolutie van de rem is zo gevorderd dat er niet zo veel kracht meer nodig is om de rem te laten werken. Eén vinger, namelijk de duim, is reeds genoeg omdat deze de sterkste is. 



  Figuur 1 en 2 laat de twee onderdelen zien die nodig zijn voor één rem. 



  Het onderdeel van figuur 2 wordt in de rechthoekige kamer van figuur 1 geplaatst door middel van een schroef. Deze schroef zorgt tevens voor het scharnier van de rembediening. De gemonteerde onderdelen worden vastgekoppeld aan de stalen draad van de rem. Figuur 3 laat zien hoe de linkerrem gemonteerd staat op het stuur van de fiets. De rembedieningshendel staat korter aan de handgreep van het stuur dan die van de bestaande modellen. Deze wordt namelijk met de druk van de duim in werking gezet.

   Description
Bicycle brake with thumb control system This idea is an invention of mine to improve the existing brakes and make them more modern. The existing version works by pulling a lever through the four fingers. My version works with a push system through the thumb. The evolution of the brake is so advanced that it does not require as much force to make the brake work. One finger, namely the thumb, is enough because it is the strongest.



  Figures 1 and 2 show the two parts that are needed for one brake.



  The part of figure 2 is placed in the rectangular chamber of figure 1 by means of a screw. This screw also provides the hinge for the brake control. The mounted parts are connected to the steel wire of the brake. Figure 3 shows how the left brake is mounted on the handlebar of the bicycle. The brake control lever has a shorter handlebar grip than the existing models. This is namely triggered with the pressure of the thumb.

Claims

Conclusion The advantages of my brake are: 1. the brake control button is shorter on the handlebar of the handlebar so you don't have to move the four fingers to the brake handle, but only the thumb. This gives you a better grip on the bike.

2. The thumb alone is more sensitive than the four fingers. You can dose the force better with your thumb and prevent an uncontrolled action on the brake, which can cause a sudden deceleration. Too much braking also means applying force again to get the bike back into motion. Think of cyclists who have to brake when descending or when cornering. My model has a more modern view. The existing model has been around for as long as the bike itself So it's time for a change, I think my model can be seen. The invention is the THUMB CONTROL SYSTEM instead of the existing pull handle. The position of my brake is also shorter against the handlebar. The thumb control brake made of plastic is more convenient and economical to manufacture. The used plastic is also recyclable.
