20100122600 | SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY WITH AXIALLY OFFSET NOISE AND VIBRATION DAMPER - A shift lever assembly for a manual transmission includes a hollow shift lever having a shift knob provided thereon. A noise and vibration damper includes a hollow housing that is connected to the hollow shift lever, and a damper assembly is provided within the hollow housing of the noise and vibration damper. The damper assembly is adapted to be connected to a control member of a manually operable transmission. A line extends from the shift knob provided on the hollow shift lever and through the interior of the hollow shift lever. The line is adapted to control the operation of the manually operable transmission. | 05-20-2010 |
20110132127 | SHIFT LEVER VIBRATION ISOLATION ASSEMBLY - A shift lever assembly designed to isolate vibrations including an outer can having a bore and an outer wall, an inner can disposed within the bore, a vibration absorbing material positioned within the bore and around the inner can; and a sleeve extending from the outer wall of the outer can. The method of making the shift lever assembly includes positioning an outer can having a bore and an attached sleeve in a mold, positioning an inner can in the mold, within the bore of the outer can, injecting a vibration absorbing material into the mold, thereby filling the space within the bore of the outer can around the inner can, and allowing the vibration absorbing material to cure, thereby securing the inner can within the outer can. | 06-09-2011 |
20120137813 | SHIFT LEVER FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - A shift lever for an automatic transmission improves a shift manipulating feeling and simultaneously reduce a rattling noise by preventing noise generated due to contact with a rod after manipulating a push button. The shift lever for the automatic transmission may include a rod movably provided inside the shift lever in its longitudinal direction, a push button vertically provided to the rod, an operating portion provided between the push button and the rod, and having a supporting portion at which an installation hole is formed and a slant portion, and a damping unit coupled to the installation hole, and provided between the rod portion and the supporting portion to absorb and reduce vibration of a power train transferred through the rod and vibration due to a road surface. | 06-07-2012 |
20120247256 | SHIFTING CONTROL - A shifting control is provided for a manual transmission of a motor vehicle having a shifting shaft, on which a shifting shaft lever for rotating the shifting shaft is rotationally fixed. A shifting mass is connected to an actuation end of the shifting shaft lever in a relatively moveable manner via an elastic element, so that the shifting mass and the elastic element form a vibration absorber. | 10-04-2012 |
20120297914 | DAMPING DEVICE FOR A SELECTOR SHAFT AND GEARSHIFT TOWER HAVING THE DAMPING DEVICE - A damping device for a selector shaft, having a damper weight with a damper unit, and having a guide device. The guide device guides the damper weight in a circumferential direction about the pivoting axis of the selector shaft. The damper weight is guided in the circumferential direction so that it is damped by the damper unit. The guide device also guides and/or holds the damper weight rigidly and/or without damping in the radial direction with respect to the pivoting axis. The damper unit is arranged off-center, asymmetrically and/or eccentrically with respect to the pivoting axis, and/or the damper weight and the damper unit form a damping absorber device arranged outside the force transmission path for the shifting and/or selection movement of the selector shaft. | 11-29-2012 |
20160017984 | SHIFTER FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION - A system and method for improving manual transmission shifters by improving accuracy and precision without introducing undesirable vibration. The system and method of this invention addresses shifting difficulty while limiting vibration, especially in performance automobiles, by providing multiple connection points between the transmission and shifter. The claimed invention is particularly desirable in its ability to optimize semi-remote shifters where many previous attempts have not been able to adequately remedy this problem. | 01-21-2016 |
