By the way, the applicant of the present application has previously provided the positioning mechanism and an operating body for switching the positioning body on the rotation side of the positioning mechanism from an operating position of the positioning mechanism to a non-operating position, and operating the operating body to perform the operation described above. When the positioning body is switched to the non-operating position, the lever body is provided with a switching mechanism that provides a turning resistance against the return spring of the transmission, and the interlocking portion between the lever body and the positioning body is provided. It has been proposed to allow a rotation of the lever body with respect to the positioning body and to provide a floating clearance for returning the lever body in response to an overshift. (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-60387) In this device, the positioning mechanism is operated to shift gears, or the positioning mechanism is switched to a non-operating system to impart rotational resistance to the lever body to shift gears. Therefore, when the lever body is operated to move forward against the return spring of the transmission in the operating system of the positioning mechanism, the lever body is excessively rotated by a predetermined amount or more, and the chain guide tool of the transmission is After shifting by overshifting from the center line in the width direction of the sprocket in the multi-stage sprocket device, the lever body is
The lever body is moved back by the gap amount with respect to the operation amount of the lever body. Further, when the lever body is operated to move forward in a state where the lever body is provided with a rotation resistance, the lever body is related to the gap. Instead, it is held in the operated position, and the positioning body rotates with a delay of the gap amount with respect to the lever body.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of this device, the positioning body is switched from the operating position to the non-operating position by the operation of the operating body so that the lever body opposes the force (F) of the return spring. A large turning resistance (R 1 ) given to the lever body by the operation of the operation body when the rotation resistance (R) is given and converted into a friction system for use.
And a small turning resistance (R 2 ) generated between the positioning body switched to the non-operating position and the operating body becomes the turning resistance (R), so that the operating body is There is no problem if the turning resistance (R 1 ) is sufficiently larger than the force (F) of the return spring after being operated by an appropriate amount of operation,
When the operation amount of the operation body is less than the appropriate operation amount and the rotation resistance (R 1 ) is slightly larger than the force (F) of the return spring, or even slightly smaller, the bicycle travels. Due to vibration at the time, the lever body unexpectedly moves back by the restoring force of the return spring of the transmission by the gap amount with respect to the positioning body, and as a result, the lever body is operated to operate the chain. In some cases, depending on the operating state of the lever body, the chain that has been hooked may automatically be hooked to another adjacent sprocket. That is, when the lever body is not excessively rotated by a predetermined amount or more and the lever body returns by the gap amount, the operation amount of the lever body is reduced to a predetermined amount or less, and the chain is automatically replaced. It will be.

An object of the present invention is to provide an operating system for the positioning mechanism while allowing the lever body to be over-rotated by the amount of the floating clearance with respect to the position set by the positioning mechanism when performing gear shifting with the operating system for the positioning mechanism. It is intended to prevent the lever body from unintentionally returning when the clearance amount is changed to the friction system.

(Operation) When the lever body (2) is rotationally operated while the positioning mechanism (3) is operating, the lever body (2) is moved to the positioning body (31).
In contrast, the lever body (2) can be rotated by excessive rotation by the amount of the clearance (K), and the lever body (2) after the reciprocating operation can move the clearance with respect to the positioning body (31) by the restoring force of the return spring of the transmission. (K) is returned, and the engagement means (32) is disengaged from the positioning body (31) by the switching means, and the engagement body (32) is engaged with the friction body (4). When the friction body is converted to the friction system, the positioning body (31) can freely rotate with respect to the engagement body (32), and the rotation resistance acting on the lever body (2) causes the positioning body (31) to rotate. Since it acts directly on the lever body (2) without detouring, the lever body (2) may move due to vibration during bicycle running, despite the structure having the floating gap (K). The amount of clearance (K) can be effectively prevented from returning unexpectedly. In addition, since the non-rotating side engaging body (32) of the positioning mechanism is displaced between the rotating side positioning body (31) and the friction body (4) to switch to the friction system, the switching structure is changed. It can be done easily and at a reduced cost.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, when the positioning mechanism (3) is in the operating state, the lever body (2) can be excessively rotated by a predetermined amount or more to change gears, and the positioning system is changed to the friction system. The non-rotating side engaging body (32) of the positioning mechanism (3) is displaced to the friction body (4) side from the position where it engages with the rotating side positioning body (31). Since the non-rotating side engaging body (32) and the friction body (4) provide a rotation resistance to the lever body (2), the floating gap (K) is provided. Despite this, it is possible to effectively prevent the lever body (2) from returning unexpectedly due to the amount of loose clearance (K) due to vibrations when riding a bicycle, and as a result, the chain can be moved to another adjacent sprocket. You can prevent it from switching automatically Moreover, the non-rotating side engaging body (32) of the positioning mechanism is displaced between the rotating side positioning body (31) and the friction body (4) to switch from the positioning system to the friction system. The switching structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

1. A fixed member (1), a lever body (2) rotatably supported with respect to the fixed member (1), and a lever member (2) which rotates in association with the fixed member (1) to rotate a gear position of a transmission. And a positioning body (31) for setting the position and a lever (2) non-rotatable engagement body (32) that engages with the positioning body (31), a positioning mechanism (3), and the return of the transmission. A friction body (4) that gives a rotation resistance against the spring to the lever body (2) is provided, and the lever body (2) is provided at the interlocking portion between the lever body (2) and the positioning body (31). The positioning body (31) and the friction body (4) are provided together with a loose clearance (K) for allowing the rotation of the positioning body (31) and returning the lever body (2) in response to an overshift. The friction bodies (4) are arranged in parallel, and the friction body (4) is arranged in the lever body (2). While supporting, the engaging body (32) is displaceable between the positioning body (31) and the friction body (4), and the engaging body (32) is displaced in the displaceable direction. The engagement body (32) is released from the engagement with the positioning body (31).
A gear shift operation device comprising switching means for engaging the friction body (4).
