A shift lever device is provided with retention frames at a front side and rear side of a lever, and a plate is provided with blocks at the front side and rear side of the lever. Even if the plate and the lever are installed to a vehicle with the front side and rear side of the plate and the lever reversed, changing the retention frame that retains a detent rod enables the block on the side of the detent rod to restrict swinging of the detent rod, enabling swinging of the lever to be restricted. This thereby enables the plate and the lever to be commonly employed.

A vehicle shifter device for ensuring high safety by suppressing misoperation by a driver. The vehicle shifter device includes a shift lever and a lock plate. The shift lever has a cylindrical lever body, a rod movable in an axial direction in a cylinder of the lever body, and a first lock lever and a second lock lever connected to the rod. The first lock lever is substantially L-shaped in plan view. The lock plate has a first extension portion extending in an X-direction and a second extension portion, integrally formed with the first extension portion, that extends in a Y-direction. In addition, the lock plate has a plurality of concave parts. In the lock plate, the projection height of a convex part between the concave part and the concave part is larger than the projection height of a convex part between the concave part and the concave part.

A scrolling shifter assembly having a housing rotatably supporting a scrolling wheel having a knurled exterior edge accessible to a vehicle operator, the scrolling wheel also including an annular side detent profile. A magnet is positioned in proximity to a sensor mounted to a printed circuit board (PCBA) within the housing and displaces relative to the sensor in response to rotation of the scrolling wheel. A display component is mounted in proximity to the PCBA. At least one haptic biasing component including any of spring loaded pawl or wave spring is supported within the housing and biases against the detent profile such that, and upon the operator actuating the scrolling wheel, the pawl is caused to displace relative to the profile in order to incrementally rotate the wheel, the magnet rotating relative to the PCBA sensor to cause an associated processor to electronically instruct a shift change to an engine control unit.

To provide an operation input device (100) including an operating knob (11) to be operated by a user; a guide unit (12) having vertices and formed in different directions with respect to each of the vertices being base points, the guide unit (12) indicating an operating area for the operating knob; first sensors (23) each for detecting whether the operating knob (11) is present at a corresponding one of the vertices; and a calculating unit (2) for calculating a set value on the basis of input information received from each of the first sensors (23), by which the user can accurately perform an input operation scale by scale even without looking at the operation input device (100).

An ambient light device for a dial type shifting apparatus is provided. The ambient light device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to a main housing, a light source fixed to the PCB, a light guide coupled to the main housing and configured to deliver light of the light source, and a light emitting mechanism provided in a shift dial coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing and configured to reflect the light of the light source delivered through the light guide to emit it outside of the shift dial in an ambient light form.

A shift lever assembly for a vehicle includes a housing having an inner space and an open part. The open part is provided at a lower part of the housing and is open in upward and downward directions. A shift lever is rotatably mounted in the inner space by being inserted into the inner space from a lower side to an upper side of the inner space through the open part. A bracket is assembled with the lower part of the housing to close the open part and allowing the housing to be fixed to a vehicle body.

In an electronic shift operation apparatus, an operation of a haptic actuator is controlled depending on a kind of shifting stage signal (P.R.N.D) generated at the time of an operation of a shift button to generate a different type of haptic signal, and an operation of the haptic actuator is controlled depending on a distance to a rear object positioned behind a vehicle at the time of an operation of an R-stage button to additionally generate a haptic signal.

A vehicle transmission shifter assembly including a housing pivotally supporting a shifter lever between Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Manual shifter positions. A plurality of gate locations configured upon an underside of the housing and corresponding to each of Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive gear positions. A gate lock incorporated into the lever and biased against a selected one of the gate locations. A PCB board with processor and sensor integrated into the housing communicating with a motor connected to the shifter lever. Upon the processor determining existence of a return to park condition, a return to park mechanism actuates the motor for returning the shifter lever to the Park position.

A shift device includes a shift main body, an operation body, a resilient engaging member and a restricting portion. The shift main body structures a shift body, which is moved to change a shift position. A first engaging portion is provided at the shift main body. The operation body structures the shift body, and is operated to move the shift body. A second engaging portion is provided at the operation body. The engaging member engages with the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion and restricts detachment of the operation body from the shift main body. When the engaging member is pushed, the engaging member deforms and releases the engagement with the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion. The restricting portion restricts pushing of the engaging member after the engagement of the engaging member with the first engaging portion or second engaging portion has been released.
