ABSTRACT:
A control system for a working apparatus such as a derailleur or self-contained change speed apparatus of a bicycle, operable by a pulling force and a restoring force. This control system comprises a first sleeve shiftable in one direction by the pulling force, and in the other direction by the restoring force; a second sleeve for transmitting a shift of the first sleeve to a controlled member of the change speed apparatus to control the controlled member, the first sleeve and the second sleeve being interlocked to be shiftable relative to each other; a clutch pawl switchable between a first position to transmit rotational drive of the bicycle to the second sleeve, and a second position to break drive transmission; and a clutch controller for switching the clutch pawl to the first position in response to a relative shift between the first sleeve and the second sleeve.
