DUAL DUROMETER SHIFT BOOT WITH PERFORMANCE SHIELD
A vehicle gear shift assembly includes a gear shift lever. The vehicle gear shift assembly also includes a shift boot assembly that at least partially defines an interior section and receives a portion of the gear shift lever therethrough. The shift boot assembly includes a frame. The shift boot assembly also includes a flexible section formed of a material having a first durometer. The shift boot assembly further includes a protective shield operatively coupled to the frame and the flexible section, the protective shield formed of a material having a second durometer that is harder than the first durometer of the flexible section.
Shifting device
A shifting device shifting device includes a rotor member pivotally-supported by a base member in a turnable manner, and configured to turn following a shifting direction of a shift lever; a lever member pivotally-supported by the base member in a turnable manner, and configured to turn following a selecting direction of the shift lever; a hall sensor as a detector member mounted on a circuit board and facing against a detection target section of the rotor member; and a hall sensor mounted on a surface of the circuit board, and facing against a detection target section of the lever member, the surface being identical to a surface on which the hall sensor is mounted.
DUAL PUSH BUTTON SWITCH ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE
A dual push button switch assembly for a vehicle includes an elastic button being moveable between a first unactuated position and a second actuated position, an actuator that is movable between a first position and a second position, and first and second switches. When the elastic button is in the first unactuated position, a resilient dome biases the actuator into the first position, and when the elastic button is moved towards the second actuated position, a force applied to the elastic button is transmitted to the actuator to move the actuator towards the second position, and wherein as the actuator moves towards the second position, the first and second switches are activated.
Operation lever cover for work vehicle, operation mechanism for work vehicle, and work vehicle
An operation lever cover for a work vehicle includes a through hole, a trunk, a first attachment part, and a second attachment part. The through hole extends in a first direction. An operation lever of the work vehicle passes through the through hole. The first attachment part is provided at a first end in the first direction of the trunk and has a first attachment surface fitted to a first support surface in a driver's cab of the work vehicle. The second attachment part has a second attachment surface fitted to a second support surface provided separately from the first support surface in the driver's cab.
SHIFT DEVICE
A shift device in which a press-fit column of a control lever is press-fitted into and passed through a press-fit hole in a boot such that the boot forms a seal between the upper side and the lower side of the press-fit hole. A press-fit interference amount between the press-fit column and the press-fit hole is larger at a length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole than at a length direction end portion side of the press-fit hole. This enables a reduction in the contact force between the press-fit column and a peripheral face of the press-fit hole at the length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole to be suppressed, enabling the sealing performance of the press-fit hole in the boot to be improved.
VEHICLE INCLUDING A KNIT ELEMENT CONNECTING A FIRST VEHICLE MEMBER TO A SECOND VEHICLE MEMBER
A vehicle includes a first vehicle member, a second vehicle member, and a knit element connected to the first vehicle member and the second vehicle member.
OPERATION LEVER COVER FOR WORK VEHICLE, OPERATION MECHANISM FOR WORK VEHICLE, AND WORK VEHICLE
An operation lever cover for a work vehicle includes a through hole, a trunk, a first attachment part, and a second attachment part. The through hole extends in a first direction. An operation lever of the work vehicle passes through the through hole. The first attachment part is provided at a first end in the first direction of the trunk and has a first attachment surface fitted to a first support surface in a driver's cab of the work vehicle. The second attachment part has a second attachment surface fitted to a second support surface provided separately from the first support surface in the driver's cab.
One-way clutch
A one-way clutch includes one or more annular members and one or more annular elastic bodies. The annular member is attached to a side plate of an outer race in the axial outer side of a seal member and includes a facing surface that faces an outer circumferential surface of an inner race with a gap and a recess formed in the facing surface. The annular elastic body is fitted into the outer circumferential surface of the inner surface corresponding to the recess so as to be in close contact therewith.
SHIFTING DEVICE
A shifting device shifting device includes a rotor member pivotally-supported by a base member in a turnable manner, and configured to turn following a shifting direction of a shift lever; a lever member pivotally-supported by the base member in a turnable manner, and configured to turn following a selecting direction of the shift lever; a hall sensor as a detector member mounted on a circuit board and facing against a detection target section of the rotor member; and a hall sensor mounted on a surface of the circuit board, and facing against a detection target section of the lever member, the surface being identical to a surface on which the hall sensor is mounted.
Console Gear-Shift Spill Guard for Car, Automobile, Truck, and Other Vehicles
An overlaying protective apparatus for preventing liquids or debris from entering a vehicle gear shift mechanism for a vehicle comprising a console between a driver and adjacent passenger area with a movable gear shift stick rising from an opening or movable arrangement in a top region of the console is provided. The apparatus is configured to be added before or after market, without modification to the vehicle. In an example implementation, the protective apparatus comprising a fluid-impervious sheet of transparent material arranged to drape over the gear shift stick and extending to additionally cover at last part of the console so as to prevent liquids or debris from entering the vehicle gear shift mechanism through the opening or movable arrangement in the console. The protective apparatus can be configured as to permit the driver to see any labels, graphical markings, and visual indicators on the gear shift console.
