Patent ID: 6993995

Claim:
A bicycle shift positioning device comprising: a base member adapted to be mounted to a bicycle; a first rotating body rotatably mounted relative to the base member; a second rotating body rotatably mounted relative to the first rotating body; a positioning member nonrotatably coupled relative to the base member and having a plurality of positioning elements; a pawl that moves between a positioning member engaging position and a positioning member disengaging position, wherein the pawl is coupled so that the pawl moves when the first rotating body moves during a gear shift operation of the shift control device, wherein such movement of the pawl is independent of rotation of the second rotating body and is movement other than movement of the pawl between the positioning member engaging position and the positioning member disengaging position; a pawl control element coupled for movement with the second rotating body; a pawl biasing mechanism for biasing the pawl toward the positioning member engaging position; and wherein the pawl control element allows the pawl to move toward the positioning member engaging position when the first rotating body is in a first rotational position relative to the second rotating body, and wherein the pawl control element causes the pawl to be in the positioning member disengaging position when the first rotating body is in a second rotational position relative to the second rotating body.
