Conventionally, this type of external bicycle transmission has utilized a so-called parallelogram pantograph mechanism, as shown in Figure 8, to move the tensioner in the hub axis direction so that it is parallel to each gear of the multi-stage freewheel. What was completed in ju11 is the beginning. That is, the fixed member (&) Kl pair of opposed parallel link plates (bl) (b,) which are integrally attached to the bicycle frame rear end plate 7 are rotatably supported, and the parallel link plates (bυ(b,

o) is pivotally supported, and a guide boo I is attached to this movable member (o).
J (d) and a tensioner (e) consisting of a tension pulley (path shown) is rotatably supported, and includes a fixed member (a), a pair of link plates (b, 0) The moving member (c) to the tensioner (
e) was moved while maintaining parallel to the multi-stage gear (see the chain line in Figure 18).

In the above-mentioned parallelogram link mechanism, a coil spring (shown in the figure) is attached to one of the four pivot pins to bias the link plates (bl) (bz) in one direction. When the wire (f) is pulled, the movable member (C) moves in parallel against the elasticity of the coil spring, and when the wire (f) is loosened, the movable member (C) moves in parallel.
) returns to its original position due to the elasticity of the coil spring.

First, all of the four parallelogram link members, namely the fixed member (&), the IJ link plate (bl) (b2) and the movable member (C), and the pivoting parts of these members are exposed to the outside. 1. Rust is likely to occur on the surface of each link member or the inner surface of each link member, and rust is likely to occur in the space formed by the four link members and in the gaps between the pivoting parts and sliding parts of each member. Ingress of rainwater, mud, or dust cannot be avoided. Therefore, if the parallelogram link mechanism is left as it is after driving on a rough road, rust and mud will impede the smooth operation of the parallelogram link mechanism, significantly deteriorating the shifting performance and shortening the service life.

Second, such a parallelogram pantograph mechanism is deformed by changing the length of the diagonal of the parallelogram, but in order to operate the deformation by operating the deformation actuating wire, the length of the diagonal of the parallelogram must be changed. Near one end (first
In the example shown in Fig. 3, the end fastening part (h) of the outer wire (g) is attached to the fixing member (-) side end of the link plate (b, ), and the end fixing part (h) of the outer wire (g) is In the example shown in the figure, the link plate (b,
) K inner wire (j) is provided with an end fastening part (near the pivot pin), and these inner wires (j)
The only way is to change the diagonal length by relative sliding in the axial direction of the outer wire (g) and the outer wire (g).
It is practically impossible to perform a deformation operation using only the actual wire.A In this way, when using a wire (f) consisting of an inner wire (j) and an outer wire (g), the outer wire (g) Since the sliding resistance between the inner wire (j) and the inner wire (j) that is inserted through the inner wire (j) is large, there is considerable resistance to rotation of the speed change operating lever for pulling the inner wire (j).

An object of the present invention is to provide a completely new type of external derailleur devised to solve the problems of the conventional external derailleur for bicycles at once. In the front transmission, a fixed shaft is integrally provided on the base body to be attached to the seat pipe of the bicycle frame in the end plate, and in the rear transmission, a tensioner comprising a guide pulley and a tension pulley is installed in the front transmission. A moving shaft is integrally provided to each moving member to which a chain guide plate is attached.
The fixed shaft and the moving shaft are made to face each other in parallel, and the two shafts are linked by a rotating member that rotatably supports each shaft, and the fixed shaft and the moving shaft are connected to each other by an endless wire, belt, etc. The present invention is characterized in that, by providing a means for suspending the body and connecting the two shafts, the moving shaft does not rotate even when the rotating member rotates around the fixed shaft. According to the present invention, with such a configuration, the rotating member can be formed into a straight shape that can include all of the fixed shaft, the moving shaft, and the means,
In addition to being able to prevent IWK water, mud, dust, etc. from entering this rotating member, by directly rotating the rotating member with a single wire, it is possible to change gears with an extremely light shift lever operation. It achieves remarkable effects that could not be expected with conventional so-called pantograph external transmissions.

As mentioned above, the fixed shaft (101) is integral with the base (1) or the bicycle body and does not rotate.
3 and the fixed axis U■ and the rotating member 021 and the moving axis OD are both in a relatively rotatable fitting relationship, so when an external force is applied to the rotating member αZK, the rotating member α2 freely rotates around the fixed axis OG. move. However, the fixed shaft 001 and the moving shaft (111) are connected to the first reel (111) integrally attached to both.
21) and the second reel (251) and the endless wire (141
Since the rotating member 02 rotates around the fixed axis 101, the moving axis (111) draws an arcuate locus centered on the fixed axis 0. In other words, if the endless wire circle does not exist, if the rotating member α2 is rotated by a certain angle (■) as shown in FIG.
υ− is also supposed to rotate at the same angle as the above angle, but in the present invention, due to the action of the endless wire circle, the movement axis a11 is rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the rotation member [121]. Since the rotation angle (o) of member a is reversed by the same angle, as a result, the movement axis CII) does not rotate. Therefore, the moving member (
4), the tensioner f71 +x, and each sprocket (s, ) (si) of the freewheel (F), making it possible to move in the hub axis direction while always maintaining parallelism. Incidentally, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram further schematizing the above principle.

Furthermore, as described above, the external transmission according to the present invention can perform a gear change operation simply by applying an external force to the rotary member 02 and directly rotating it, so that the traction operation means by the operation wire @) is required. This can be extremely simplified compared to the conventional example. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 7, and 8, the end of a single wire (W) is fixed to the outer surface of the rotating member 0z, and this is pulled and By relaxing, a gear shifting operation can be performed.
