There is provided a gearbox apparatus in which the number of gears selectable by a user to drive a drive shaft is greater than the number of gears physically connected to the drive shaft of the gearbox. This apparatus can be controlled remotely by a wireless signal emitting or receiving electronic device, which includes a smart phone, desktop computer, a signal tower, and the like

An electronic parking pawl actuator which uses a smaller motor and higher gear ratio has the ability to configure a rooster comb to engage with various park detents, and reduces the mechanical and software design complexity. Furthermore, the electronic park actuator limits the amount of back drivable range (unable to perform an external park to neutral shift) for theft deterrence, and also allows operation (speed performance) and a lower motor peak current. The electronic parking pawl actuator includes an electric motor, a drive gear, the drive gear operable for being driven by the electric motor, and a drive mechanism, the drive mechanism is operable for being driven by the drive gear. The drive mechanism is engaged with an output shaft of a gear selector of a transmission, and the drive mechanism is rotatable relative to the drive gear, allowing the output shaft to be located in a desired position.

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 parking lock system for a motor vehicle has a housing, a drive shaft couplable to a wheel of the motor vehicle, a locking element for non-rotatably connecting the drive shaft to the housing, an actuating element for actuating the locking element, a first adjusting disc and a second adjusting disc, which are both arranged rotatably around a common axis of rotation. The system also has an adjusting device for a rotational adjustment of the first adjusting disc, a first actuator coupled to the actuating element and to the second adjusting disc. The adjusting device transmits an actuating force from the first adjusting disc, via the second adjusting disc, first actuator, and actuating element to the locking element. The parking lock system has at least one spring device, which has a first end supported at least indirectly with respect to the first adjusting disc, and a second end supported at least indirectly with respect to the second adjusting disc.

The present disclosure provides a transmission apparatus for an electric vehicle. The transmission apparatus for the electric vehicle includes a synchronization device connected to an input shaft, and a first shift device selectively engaged with the synchronization device to perform a gear shift operation, wherein the first shift device includes a first shift motor configured to receive power from the outside of the transmission apparatus and rotate, a first rotation shaft connected to the first shift motor to rotate about a rotation axis according to forward and reverse rotations of the first shift motor, a first movement block moving forward and backward in conjunction with the first rotation shaft, and a first shift fork connected to the first movement block to move integrally, and the synchronization device selectively operates to shift a gear as the first shift fork moves.

A cam device having a drive cam and a driven cam; and a friction engagement device having at least one friction plate and at least one separation plate are provided. The friction engagement device is configured so as to be put into a connected state by pressing the friction plate and the separation plate against each other by the driven cam, and a disconnected state. Also provided are a rotation transmission state switching device having a first member and a second member coaxially arranged, and a mode selecting part configured to rotate or displace in the axial direction according to rotation of the drive cam. The rotation transmission state switching device has at least one mode of a free mode and a lock mode of the first member and the second member, and a one-way clutch mode.

A manual shift transmission is disclosed which includes a shaft, at least one loose wheel carried by the shaft and a gear shift sleeve, which is moveable along the first shaft between a gear position coupling the first loose wheel to the shaft and a neutral position allowing a rotation of the loose wheel against the shaft. A gear shift follower is configured to move the gear shift sleeve along the shaft and acts on the gear shift sleeve. An actuating rod can be shifted in the direction of the shaft for shifting the gear shift follower. The actuating rod carries a clutch body which is adjustable between an active position engaging in a recess of the gear shift follower and a passive position sunk into the first actuating rod.

In one embodiment, an outboard marine engine comprises the internal combustion engine and a propulsor that is driven into rotation by the internal combustion engine so as to effect a thrust. The outboard marine engine further includes a transmission that shifts amongst a fourth gear wherein the thrust is forward thrust, a reverse gear wherein the thrust is a reverse thrust, and a neutral gear wherein the thrust is a zero thrust. The outboard marine engine further includes a shift rod that is rotatable about its own axis, wherein rotation of the shift rod about its own axis shifts the transmission amongst the forward gear, the reverse gear, and the neutral gear. An actuator operably connects to the internal combustion engine and causes rotation of a gear shaft. At least one gearset connects the gear shaft to the shift rod such that rotation of the gear shaft about its own axis rotates the shift rod about its own axis.

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 cam device having a drive cam and a driven cam; and a friction engagement device having at least one friction plate and at least one separation plate are provided. The friction engagement device is configured so as to be put into a connected state by pressing the friction plate and the separation plate against each other by the driven cam, and a disconnected state. Also provided are a rotation transmission state switching device having a first member and a second member coaxially arranged, and a mode selecting part configured to rotate or displace in the axial direction according to rotation of the drive cam.
