The present disclosure provides a device for selecting a desired switch position out of a plurality of switch positions, and a switch position depends on a position of at least one locking bolt relative to a snap-in cam, with a support member for a control element. The support member is arranged below a user interface and rotatable around a shaft relative to the locking bolt. The snap-in cam is designed in the support member, and a Maltese cross transmission structure is formed in the support member. A drive device is in engagement with the Maltese cross transmission structure so as to rotate the support member with the snap-in cam around the shaft relative to the locking bolt depending on the desired switch position.

This invention discloses uninterrupted shifting in transmissions with the use of controlled rotation to achieve desired profile for input to output ratio, thereby eliminating synchronized clutch. Controlled rotation achieved using non-circular gears or Geneva pin and slot wheel mechanism with a customized path for the slot, is used to achieve multiple speed/infinitely variable transmission ratios and/or to transition from one transmission ratio to another. The transition happens over multiple rotations of the input making it highly suited for high torque applications. Since it is not using sprag or one way bearing engine breaking can be achieved. Infinitely Variable Transmission offers steady and uniform output for a steady and uniform input. With co-axial input and output, using planetary gear system, the output can be made continuous from forward to reverse. Multi-Speed uninterrupted shifting is achieved without the need for synchronizers and using a dog clutch or similar device.
