Problems solved by technology

Since the switch is exposed on the selector lever, special protective measures are always required during transport and thus costly
In addition, the switch may be damaged due to the improper assembly of the handle on the conveyor belt, so assembly errors and a certain number of scraps must also be estimated.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] FIG. 1 shows a side view of an adapter body 7 without visible parts of the switch, which is fastened to the selector lever 4 of the gearshift device. In this configuration, the adapter body 7 comprises a cylindrical housing 8 which has a guide 9 on its right and left side for advantageously receiving the handle. Here, the guides, which are elongated "guide lugs", serve to position the handle correctly and prevent rotation of the handle.

[0030] In addition, the adapter body 7 has a switch 5a on the upper part of the housing 8, which is used for the functional transmission of shift commands. A connection 10 for the cable 6 is also provided in the housing 8 of the adapter body 7 . The cable 6 is laid in a protected manner in the recess 8 a of the housing 8 of the adapter body 7 . As a result, the handle can then be slipped onto the adapter body 7 without damaging the cable 6 . In addition, this laying of the cable 6 prevents damage to the cable 6 or loosening of the c...

Abstract

The invention relates to a shifting device (1), for the transmission of shifting commands to a vehicle gearbox, comprising a housing (2) and / or a frame, a selector lever (4), transmitting shift commands to the gearbox, a knob (3), providing a grip for the hand of the vehicle driver and a switch (5a). The shifting device (1) is provided for assembly in a motor vehicle and, preferably after fittingof the shifting device (1), a shifting gate is placed over the selector lever (4). The invention is characterised in that an adapter (7) for the knob (3) with an integrated switch (5a) is provided, fitted to the selector lever (4) and forms a connection point between the selector lever (4) and the knob (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gear shifting device for transmitting gear shift commands to an automobile transmission. Background technique [0002] Shifting devices for transmitting shift commands to automotive transmissions having a handle including a switch are known. [0003] If the switch is integrated in the handle, problems arise when fitting the handle to the gear lever of the gearshift unit. Usually at the car manufacturer the shifter cover - also known as the shifter frame - as well as the handle are installed on the assembly conveyor. If the switch is already integrated in the handle, the electrical connection must be securely routed to the gear lever and plugged into the handle. Special measures are required to protect the socket connection during delivery of the shifting device to the vehicle manufacturer. In addition, due to incorrect installation of the socket connector and the handle, the risk of damage must be taken into account. [0...
