2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, most front and rear wheel brakes of a bicycle are operated by a front wheel on the right and a rear wheel on the left by left and right brake levers attached to the steering wheel. Then, the brake lever was appropriately operated to apply the brakes on the rear wheels first, but when emergency braking was applied to avoid the danger of drowsiness, proper force distribution could not be made, and the tiredness and fall could occur. If the driver is forced to drive with one hand for some reason, there is the same risk as described above when the front wheel brake is operated with the right hand, regardless of the dominant arm of the driver. For your safety, you will operate the rear brake with your left hand. However, the braking operation with only the rear wheels has a longer braking distance than the combined use of the brakes with the front wheels. In order to avoid such a danger, a structure in which the front and rear brakes can be simultaneously operated by operating one of the left and right brake levers is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 38-19208 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-69341. Seen in the gazette.

Have difficulty. In order to eliminate such a problem, the actual development number 56-127082,
As shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-158586 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-159397, there are devised structures that use equalizers with different lever ratios in the intermediate joint to make the operation different, and Japanese Patent Publication No. As in the invention of No. 38195, there is an invention of a structure in which two cables are operated within the mechanism of one brake lever so as to cause a difference in the respective operations.

However, some of the devices using the above-mentioned equalizer structure have a complicated structure, and due to the relationship of sliding resistance, the difference in operation is not always accurate. It is inevitable that the structure of the brake lever has a complicated structure and is expensive if the structure of the brake lever has a difference in operation. In any case, each one is moderate
It is easy to adjust to get the effect of
Adjust either the front or rear wheel as a reference and the other wheel
Adjustment that loosens or tightens slightly is difficult. It is easy to find the position where the front and rear wheels work at the same time when adjusting the brake, but even if these mechanisms are adopted, it is difficult to confirm and adjust the best distribution of force on the brake side.
