20120111134 | SHIFT-BY-WIRE ACTUATING DEVICE HAVING MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE ACTUATION - The structure and the installation of the mechanical transmission linkage to the parking lock is simplified in that the mechanical transmission linkage allows a smooth operation and serves also as an actuating devices having more than one shift gate without requiring complex modifications. An actuating device for selecting gear steps of a shift-by-wire gearshift transmission with a base housing, a selection lever, mechanical transmission for actuating a parking lock, and with a coupling system with a coupling element between the selection lever and the transmission. The transmission is selectively actuated by the coupling element only during selection and/or deselection of the parking lock position on the selection lever. The actuating device has includes the coupling element with a first end which is linearly guided in a slot and a second end which is in certain sections pivotally guided in a slot. The two ends of the coupling element are each supported on both sides in associated slotted tracks in the base housing. The coupling element is indirectly coupled to the selection lever. | 05-10-2012 |
20130312562 | ACTUATOR SYSTEM FOR A CLUTCH AND A GEAR SWITCH - An actuator device configured to actuate a first functional unit and a second functional unit. The actuator device has an actuator motor configured to generate a rotational drive movement, a first shift device assigned to the first functional unit, a second shift device assigned to the second functional unit, and a shift drum which couples the actuator motor and the shift devices in terms of drive. The first shift device is coupled to the shift drum via a first positive control mechanism, and the second shift device is coupled to the shift drum via a second positive control mechanism. By the positive control mechanism, a rotational movement of the shift drum, which can be generated by the rotational drive movement, may be converted into a translatory movement of the first shift device and/or into a translatory movement of the second shift device. | 11-28-2013 |
20140013892 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR A CRAWLER VEHICLE - A control device for a crawler vehicle, comprising a control lever activated by an operator about a fulcrum and having a free end, the control lever being displaceable along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a proximal position closer to the operator and a distal position further from the operator in order to control a main clutch of the vehicle, the control device further comprising a support element suitable for being fixed to a body of the vehicle in order to support an operator's hand when the hand acts on the control lever, wherein the control lever has an intermediate portion interposed between the free end and the fulcrum, the intermediate portion being so shaped as to partially embrace the support element in the proximal position. | 01-16-2014 |
20140090504 | SHIFT LEVER FOR A VEHICLE WITH AN INTEGRATED OPERATING ELEMENT - A shift lever for a vehicle with an integrated operating element for selecting and adjusting functions of the vehicle. The shift lever includes, but is not limited to a shift lever portion with the function of a shift lever knob has an operating element, which is pivot-moveably connected to a shift lever rod via a pivot joint, the pivot joint being designed for pivoting the shift lever knob relative to the shift lever rod in at least one pivot plane, and a sensor for generating a sensor signal which is dependent on the angular position of the shift lever knob in the pivot plane relative to the shift lever rod and which determines the selected function, is provided. A motor vehicle is also provided with this shift lever. | 04-03-2014 |
20140144272 | SHIFT SWITCHING DEVICE - A shift device is provided with a shift lever, a parking switch, and a neutral switch. A transmission is switched to a range, in which the transmission of driving force to driving wheels of a vehicle is started, by the shift lever being operated in two or more directions from a home position and arriving at a specific position. The transmission is switched to a range, in which the transmission of driving force to the driving wheels of the vehicle is interrupted, by the parking switch and the neutral switch being operated in one direction. | 05-29-2014 |
20160033033 | TRAVELING WORK VEHICLE - A traveling work vehicle includes a gear-shifting control unit that outputs a gear-shifting control command to a main gear-shifting apparatus for shifting gears without cutting off power transmission, a sub gear-shifting apparatus for shifting gears by cutting off power transmission, and a first operation unit and a second operation unit that provide gear-shifting, upshifting or downshifting, operation commands to the gear-shifting control unit. The gear-shifting control unit has a first travel control section that generates a gear-shifting control command for shifting gears in the main gear-shifting apparatus in response to the gear-shifting operation command from the first operation unit in a work traveling mode, and a second travel control section that generates a gear-shifting control command for shifting gears in the sub gear-shifting apparatus in response to the gear-shifting operation command from the second operation unit in the work traveling mode. | 02-04-2016 |
074473200 | Separate control levers | 4 |
20110030492 | Single control lever for combined control of the throttle of one or more engines and of a reversing gear mechanism - A single lever control for combined control of the throttle of one or more engines, for example of boats, and of a reversing gear mechanism includes a system that alternately couples and uncouples the motion of the lever to the reversing gear driving mechanism and to the members controlling the throttle of the one or more engines as a function of the angular position of the lever. | 02-10-2011 |
20160046190 | Control Board having Steering Wheel and Accelerator Pedal Integrated Structure - A control board having an integrated structure of a steering wheel and an accelerator pedal may include a control board that may be disposed ahead of a driver's seat in a vehicle, an accelerator pedal lever that moves up/down on the control board, a steering wheel that may be turnably mounted by a coupling hole at an upper portion of the accelerator pedal lever, a shift button unit and a start button unit that may be formed in types of buttons on the control board, and a shock-absorbing member that may be disposed at a lower end of the control board, wherein the control board may be connected to a cylinder rod in a dashboard, so the control board pops up in use and returns not in use | 02-18-2016 |
20160121917 | MOTOR VEHICLE HAND CONTROL FOR DIFFERENTLY ABLED INDIVIDUALS - A disclosed vehicle control system provides control over complex vehicle functions including transmission shifting to enable differently abled drivers to operate a motor vehicle. | 05-05-2016 |
20160138705 | MULTIFUNCTIONAL ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT LEVER FOR SIMULTANEOUS MANIPULATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A multifunctional electronic gear shift lever for simultaneous manipulation includes a cylindrical lever rotatably inserted into a support which is disposed in a center fascia surface or a console surface of a vehicle and having an entrance opening that penetrates the cylindrical lever in a longitudinal direction. A start button is disposed at a lower side of the entrance opening, connected with a controller via a spring, and moving in a vertical direction. A display is disposed on the center fascia surface or the console surface, and displays a gear shift stage of the vehicle and a state of the vehicle. The gear shift stage is changeable by rotating the cylindrical lever while simultaneously starting an engine of the vehicle by operating the start button. | 05-19-2016 |
