20090211392 | BOWDEN CABLE AND CASING THEREFORE - A Bowden cable is provided that includes, but not limited to, a casing and a wire extending in a cavity of the casing. Points of contact between the wire and the casing are unevenly distributed on the circumference of the wire in each cross section. A clearance extends helicoidally along the wire. The helicoidal clearance has a pitch (L) at least equal to twice the diameter (D) of the wire. In each cross section the clearance extends around at least half of the circumference of the wire. | 08-27-2009 |
20100024585 | GEARSHIFT DEVICE FOR CHANGE-SPEED GEARBOXES OF MOTOR VEHICLES - A gearshift device for a change-speed gearbox of a motor vehicle, includes, but is not limited to a gearshift lever guided movably between positions corresponding to different gears, on which a locking member is displaceable between a locking position in a first degree of freedom in which it blocks any movement of the gearshift lever from a forward gear position into a reverse gear position, and a release position in a first degree of freedom in which it allows movement from the forward gear position into the reverse gear position. The locking member on the gearshift lever is movable in a second degree of freedom between a normal position in which movement between release position and locking position is possible and an alignment position in which it fixes the gearshift lever free from play. | 02-04-2010 |
20100199794 | SHIFTING FORCE TRANSMITTING DEVICE AND GEAR SHIFT APPARATUS USING SAME - A resilient shifting force transmitting device for a manual gear shift apparatus has a spring rate which is variable according to the amount of deformation. Specifically, the device has a first, high spring rate at a first, low deformation and a second, low spring rate at a second, high deformation. | 08-12-2010 |
20110058757 | BEARING BUSH, IN PARTICULAR FOR A SHIFT HOUSING OF A VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING THE BEARING BUSH - A bearing bush is provided for a shift housing of a vehicle, and a method is provided for installing the bearing bush. The bearing bush is used for mounting a selection lever in a shift housing of a vehicle, the selection lever transmitting selection movements of a selection finger of a gear shift lever to traction and/or compression movements of a selection cable pull. The selection lever pivots around its pivot point into various selection positions and is mounted so it is rotatable on a cast-on bearing journal of the shift housing the bearing bush. The bearing bush has radial and axial compensation elements, which axially lock the selection lever on the bearing journal during pivot movements. | 03-10-2011 |
20110083526 | CONNECTING APPARATUS FOR AN ACTUATING CABLE AS WELL AS MANUAL TRANSMISSION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH THIS CONNECTING APARATUS - A connecting apparatus is provided for an actuating cable on a receiver that includes, but is not limited to a base body, a receiving body for connection to the receiver, two separate housing parts, which surround the receiving body, two damping elements, which are each disposed between one of the housing parts and the base body, and a holder. The holder is displaceably coupled to the housing parts and can be connected to the actuating cable. On actuating the actuating cable, the holder exerts force on a housing part and on a damping element. | 04-14-2011 |
20110185587 | SETTING DEVICE FOR ALIGNING A SHIFT TRANSMISSION - A setting device for aligning a shift transmission, including, but not limited to a main bearing shaft mounted in a shift lever housing and a setting element, which can be hooked in guide means mounted on the shift lever housing, the setting element being situated along a central axis of the main bearing shaft. | 08-04-2011 |
20110290058 | GEAR SHIFT LEVER WITH DAMPING DEVICE OF A VEHICLE - A gear shift lever is provided with damping device of a vehicle. The damping device damps the returning of a reverse gear blocking element in the axial direction of the gear shift lever into a blocking position. For this, the damping device has a first rigid ring element in the axial direction of the gear shift lever, which surrounds the gear shift lever and has projections distributed on the periphery in axial direction. In addition, the damping device has a second rigid ring element, which has recesses in the region of the projections of the first ring element. On the reverse gear blocking element and on the gear shift lever, radial shoulders are arranged, against which the two rigid ring elements support themselves axially. Between the first and the second rigid ring element a rubber-elastic ring element is arranged which is deformable in a rubber-elastic manner between the projections of the first rigid ring element and the recesses of the second rigid ring element on the returning of a reverse gear blocking element. | 12-01-2011 |
20120091292 | SHIFT CABLE HOLDER AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING SHIFT AND SELECTOR CABLES ON THE HOLDER - A shift cable holder is provided for a transmission. In addition, a method is provided for mounting shift and selector cables on the holder. The shift cable holder has a base region. At a distance from the base region at least one retaining profile is provided for receiving at least one coupling element of a shift cable end. The shift cable holder has a guide lug, which projects beyond the retaining profile and is fixed to the retaining profile and has a guide edge. | 04-19-2012 |
20120132027 | EXTERNAL GEARSHIFT FOR A MANUAL-SHIFT TRANSMISSION - An external gearshift for a manual-shift transmission has a housing in which a shift selector lever is moveably mounted in two degrees of freedom, to which jackets of two control cables are fastened and in which cores of the two control cables are coupled to the shift selector lever. The housing comprises at least two housing parts fastened to one another, wherein a first of the two housing parts serves for mounting the shift selector lever and the jackets of the control cables are fastened to the second housing part. | 05-31-2012 |
20120186377 | TRANSMISSION SHIFT DEVICE - A transmission shift device is provided that includes, but is not limited to a shifting shaft, which is mounted so it is axially immovable and rotatable in a transmission shift housing and is mechanically connected to a shift lever. Furthermore, the transmission shift device includes, but is not limited to a selector lever, which is mounted so it is axially displaceable on the shifting shaft and is mechanically connected to a selector lever. The selector lever is held in a spring-elastic manner in a middle axial selection position on the shifting shaft by at least one spring element. | 07-26-2012 |
