摘要:
The present invention is directed to a gearshift unit for a transmission of a vehicle, the gearshift unit comprising a blocking mechanism for blocking a shift lever (2) from being moved to a shifting gate including the reverse gear, said blocking mechanism comprising a hollow shaft (4) mounted to be slidable along a longitudinal direction of the shift lever, wherein an annular protrusion (42) is projecting radially from the upper end of the hollow shaft, which annular protrusion (42) may be grasped to lift the hollow shaft upwards to a release position in which the shift lever is free to be moved to the shifting gate including the reverse gear, wherein a helical spring (20) is disposed within the hollow shaft and biasing it in downward direction to a blocking position in which a stop member of the hollow shaft blocks movement of the shift lever to the shifting gate including the reverse gear, wherein a spring holder (80) fixed with respect to the shift lever supports one end of the spring (20) which acts with its opposite end on the hollow shaft (4) to urge it downwards, characterized in that the spring holder (80) is provided with an elastic end stop (82) projecting radially with respect to the shift lever axis and extending into an opening (48) of the wall of the hollow shaft, which opening (48) is arranged such that a lower edge (50) of the opening contacts the end stop (82) when the hollow shaft approaches the release position to smoothly stop movement of the hollow shaft at the release position.

A shifter assembly (30) comprising a housing (32). The shifter assembly (30) comprises a gear receiver (110) and a selection receiver (144) spaced from the gear receiver (110). The shifter assembly (30) comprises a shift actuator (40) pivotally mounted to the housing (32) and having a gear arm (68) defining a first axis (A1) and a selection arm (70) defining a second axis (A2) spaced from the first axis (A1). The gear arm (68) being fixed relative to the selection arm (70). The shifter assembly (30) comprises a shift lever (34) fixed to the shift actuator (40) and movable in a first direction (D1) and a second direction (D2). The shifter assembly (30) comprises a gear emitter (104) coupled to the gear arm (68) for movement with the gear arm (68) with the gear emitter (104) transmitting a signal to the gear receiver (110). The shifter assembly (30) comprises a selection emitter (138) coupled to the selection arm (70) for movement with the selection arm (70) with the selection emitter (138) transmitting a signal to the selection receiver (144).

A knob (30) for a shifter assembly (20) of a vehicle includes a housing (34) having an interior surface (36) defining a cavity (38) and an opening (40). A body (54) is at least partially disposed within the cavity, has first and second surfaces (58, 76), extends to a periphery (56), and is formed of an at least partially transparent material. An illumination device (50) is disposed within the cavity for emitting light rays. At least one reflective surface (80) is disposed along the periphery for receiving the light rays. A first portion of the light rays is internally reflected within the body off of the first surface. At least one indicia (72) is disposed along the body. The body defines at least one indicia cavity (74) having a bottom (78) substantially parallel to the first surface with the indicia disposed within the indicia cavity along the bottom for reflecting the first portion of the light rays toward the opening for illuminating the indicia.

A shifter assembly (20) for a vehicle and a method of mounting a handle (32) to a lever (22) in the shifter assembly (20) is disclosed. The assembly (20) includes a lever (22) and a handle (32) having a grip portion (34) and a collar portion (36) extending from the grip portion (34) to a distal end (38). The collar portion (36) defines a cavity (40) for receiving the lever (22) to couple the handle (32) to the lever (22). A sleeve (44) is disposed about the lever (22) and coupled to the collar portion (36) to receive the distal end (38) of the collar portion (36). The sleeve (44) is rotatable between locked and unlocked positions and the sleeve (44) is moveable along the longitudinal axis (L) during rotation of the sleeve (44) between the locked and unlocked positions. A flange (54) is coupled to a second end (48) of the sleeve (44) and cooperates with the distal end (38) of the collar portion (36) such that the flange (54) is wedged between the lever (22) and the distal end (38) of the collar portion (36) when the sleeve (44) is in the locked position for preventing lash between the handle (32) and the lever (22).
摘要:
The present invention relates to an anti-whiplash system for the use in vehicle seats. The inventive anti-whiplash system for the use in vehicle seats comprises a head restraint (1) mounted on the backrest of a vehicle seat, wherein the head restraint (1) comprises a release mechanism for reducing the gap between an occupant's head and the head restraint in case of an accident, said release mechanism comprises a movable part (5) and a stationary part (3), wherein a clearance between the movable part (5) and the stationary part (3) opens up when the release mechanism is released, characterized in that a wedging body (4) is provided having a small width portion and a large width portion and an intermediate increasing width portion, wherein the wedging body (4) points with its small width portion towards the clearance between the movable part (5) and the stationary part (3), and in that the wedging body (4) is movable and preloaded to move into the clearance as it opens up to thereby abut against the movable part (5) and against the stationary part (3) in order to prevent the movable part (5) of the head restraint (1) from moving back.
