The assembly includes a lower lever that is rotatable forward and backward with respect to a shift-lever housing and is connected with one of a shift cable and a selection cable. Additionally, an upper lever is coupled to the lower lever to be rotatable left and right and is connected with a remaining one of the cables.

An operating shift apparatus for a manual transmission includes: an operating lever having an upper end at which a handle is disposed and a lower end extending toward a lever box; a shift lever having a shift joint disposed at a lower end of the shift lever; a connecting lever, an upper end of which is rotatably connected with the shift lever, having a cylinder joint which is downwardly protruded; a select lever having a select groove into which the cylinder joint is accommodated, a select joint disposed at a front end of the select lever, a return protrusion which is downwardly protruded, and a guide groove which is formed at both ends thereof, wherein the lever box has a guide rail which is engaged with the guide groove; and a return spring contacting the return protrusion to return the select lever to an original position.

A control element, in particular, a switching device for the manual actuation of functions in a motor vehicle, having a handle. The handle is mounted on a carrier such that the handle is adjustable in two different directions from a neutral position into adjustment positions. The control element furthermore can detect the adjustment positions, with the control element having a code carrier for the detection of the adjustment positions, which encodes the adjustment positions, and a sensor which senses the coding, in such a way that all adjustment positions can be detected by way of the one code carrier.

An operating shift apparatus for a manual transmission includes: an operating lever having an upper end at which a handle is disposed and a lower end extending toward a lever box; a shift lever having a shift joint disposed at a lower end of the shift lever; a connecting lever, an upper end of which is rotatably connected with the shift lever, having a cylinder joint which is downwardly protruded; a select lever having a select groove into which the cylinder joint is accommodated, a select joint disposed at a front end of the select lever, a return protrusion which is downwardly protruded, and a guide groove which is formed at both ends thereof, wherein the lever box has a guide rail which is engaged with the guide groove; and a return spring contacting the return protrusion to return the select lever to an original position.

A shifter assembly including a shift lever pivotally mounted to a housing, a shift lever, a first pivot mechanism, a gimbal ring, and a second pivot mechanism. The lever is movable in a first gate along a first plurality of paths, a second gate along a second plurality of paths, and a bridge gate between the first and second gates. The first pivot mechanism is mounted to the lever to permit movement about a first pivot axis within one of the gates. The gimbal has an aperture and is disposed about and coupled to the lever. The second pivot mechanism is mounted to the gimbal to permit movement about a second pivot axis within another one of the gates. The axes are spaced from each other. The gimbal has receivers recessed from the inner surface with the first pivot mechanism engaging the receivers to couple the lever to the gimbal.

The invention relates to a method for the manufacturing of a bearing element of a shift device for a motor vehicle transmission. In a first process step a bearing element is provided, which comprises at least one projection and a coupling joint for the mechanical coupling of a selector lever in order to select a shift position of a motor vehicle transmission. The projection is overmolded by means of an assembly injection molding process with a bearing bushing material in order to form a bearing bushing to mount the bearing element in a moveable manner.

A shifter assembly for changing gears in a vehicle transmission including a housing, a shift lever, an emitter, a detector, and a link. The lever is pivotally mounted to the housing and is movable in a first gate along a first plurality of shift paths, and in a different second gate along a second plurality of paths. The emitter is spaced from the lever and is movable along a fixed path and the detector can determine a position of the emitter along the path. The link is attached to the lever and the emitter such that movement of the lever in either gate causes movement of the emitter along the path. The link is coupled to the lever and the emitter so to permit movement of the shift relative to the link during movement of the lever.

An apparatus for electronically controllable transmission is provided to shift gears by moving a shift lever and sensing the magnetic flux density of a magnet, which moves based on the rotation of the shift lever, using a three-dimensional (3D) hall sensor. The apparatus includes a shift lever having one end connected to a magnet and shifting gears by moving the shift lever and a shift lever body connected to the shift lever and allows the shift lever to move around shift axis or select axis. A sensor unit is mounted fixedly intersecting the shift axis and select axis within the shift lever body and senses the movement of the magnet around an X-axis, a Y-axis and a Z-axis as the magnet moves. The sensor unit is mounted at a tilted angle to provide at least two of three output signals with linearity.

A shift-lever assembly of a manual transmission is provided. The assembly includes a lower lever that is rotatable forward and backward with respect to a shift-lever housing and is connected with one of a shift cable and a selection cable. Additionally, an upper lever is coupled to the lower lever to be rotatable left and right and is connected with a remaining one of the cables.

A joystick control is disclosed for a change speed gearbox having a support body, an axle rotatably supported by the body, an operating lever connected to the axle by a pivot pin having an axis perpendicular to that of the axle such that the operating lever is rotatable about the axis of the axle and is pivotable relative to the axle about the axis of the pivot pin, two actuating members rotatably supported by the axle and arranged one on each side of the operating lever, each actuating member being connectible to a respective Bowden cable to extend and retract the cable in response to rotation of the actuating member about the axle, and mating formations on the operating lever and the actuating members operative to engage the operating lever selectively for rotation with one or the other of the actuating members in dependence upon the direction in which the operating lever is pivoted relative to the axle about the pivot pin. Resiliently biased detents are provided between the support body and the actuating members or the operating lever to resist rotation of the operating lever away from at least one defined stable position.
