A field management machine includes a rack, a driver, a transmission, traveling wheels, a cutter, and a gear shift lever. A first shift fork controls gear shift of the cutter. A second shift fork controls gear shift of the traveling wheels. The gear shift lever includes a traveling gear shift lever and a cutter gear shift lever. The cutter gear shift lever is connected to the first shift fork. The traveling gear shift lever is connected to the second shift fork. The field management machine includes a trigger rod between the cutter gear shift lever and the traveling gear shift lever. The trigger rod is connected to the cutter gear shift lever or the traveling gear shift lever. The traveling gear shift lever pushes the trigger rod when the traveling gear shift lever is switched to a reverse gear to shift the cutter gear shift to a neutral gear.

In a shift device (10), a base portion (42) of a collar (40) is accommodated in a mounting hole (50) of a support portion (34), and a thin plate portion (52) of the support portion (34) is disposed at an upper side of an upper face (42A) of the base portion (42). When an impact load of at least a predetermined value is applied to a shift lever, the thin plate portion (52) of the support portion (34) is broken by the base portion (42) and the support portion (34) moves while being guided by the base portion (42). Thus, the impact load is absorbed. Consequently, an impact load absorption mode may be made consistent.

A lubricating device of a power transmitting system having a structural member. The lubricating device includes an oil piping assembly fixed to the structural member at a plurality of positions and having an oil passage through which a lubricant oil flows. The oil piping assembly is a resin piping assembly including a plurality of divisional components which cooperate to define a circumference of the oil passage along a length of the oil passage and which are formed of a resin material. The divisional components have respective interfacial surfaces and are bonded together with interfacial surfaces thereof being held in contact with each other. The divisional components of the resin piping assembly include a base divisional component provided with a plurality of fixing portions, and the resin piping assembly is fixed to the structural member at the plurality of positions through only the fixing portions.

An anti-theft device for a vehicle includes an approach prevention cover disposed in a shift lever housing to cover a shift cable connected to a shift lever so as to prevent the shift cable from being detached. Such an anti-theft vehicle makes is possible to easily and efficiently prevent theft of the vehicle by preventing a shift cable operated along with operation of a shift lever from being removed.

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 shift lever assembly includes a shift lever, a folding device, and a fold interlock device. The shift lever is adapted to move between park and gear positions. The shift lever includes a base structure and an arm pivotally engaged to the base structure about a first axis. The folding device is adapted to pivotally move the arm with respect to the base structure about the first axis and between deployed and stowed states. The fold interlock device is adapted to move between locked and released positions, and includes a locking member adapted to abut the arm in a circumferential direction with respect to the first axis when in the locked position to prevent movement from the deployed state to the stowed state, and to circumferentially clear the arm when in the released position to enable actuation of the folding device from the deployed state to the stowed state.

A plunger lock mechanism including a housing containing a rotationally supported lever shaped component, the component including at least one notch or recess configured within an arcuate surface. An electric motor is configured to rotate a cam extending within the housing, the cam actuating at least one plunger having an extending portion aligning with a selected notch. Upon rotation of the cam by the motor, the plunger is caused to displace between either of engaged and disengaged positions with the component such that, when disengaged, permitting rotation of the component.

A gear seeking shifter including a housing containing a shift lever with a rotatable base and outer tube supporting a depressible inner push rod. A CAM shaft component is driven by a gear seeking motor. An upwardly biased gate pawl located in the inner push rod contacts with any of PRND shifter position gates configured along an opposing underside of the housing. At least one detent cartridge contains a pawl supported within the rotatable base of the shift lever in biasing contact with a detent plate profile configured upon an opposing inside surface of the housing. The CAM shaft component, upon being rotated by the motor, includes each of a first profile for retracting the gate pawl and a second profile for inwardly displacing the detent pawl away from the detent plate profile to permit the CAM component to rotate the shift lever to a desired gear position.

A gear seeking shifter having a housing containing a shift lever with a depressible inner push rod. A CAM component is rotatably supported to a base of the shift lever and is driven by a gear seeking motor. An upwardly biased gate pawl is secured to the inner push rod into contact with any of a PRND shifter position gates configured along an opposing underside of said housing. At least one detent pawl is supported within the housing in biasing contact with a detent plate configured upon an opposing inside surface of the housing. The CAM component, upon being rotated by the motor, includes each of a first profile for retracting the gate pawl and a second profile for engaging and inwardly displacing the detent pawl away from contact with the detent plate to permit the CAM component to rotate the shift lever to a desired gear position.
