20150176703 | DEVICE FOR MOUNTING IN A SUPPORT HOUSING A TRANSMISSION AND SELECTION ELEMENT SECURED TO A CONTROL LEVER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE MECHANICAL GEAR BOX - The element is mounted such that it pivots in relation to an axis and is secured to a selector finger that is connected to the lever to provoke the pivoting of the element under the effect of an angular tilt. It comprises, at the swivel axis of the said element, a cam profile that has a part of the said element, the said profile interacting with a flexible returning member for creating, depending on the angular position of the selection element and the area under consideration of the cam profile, a resistance with an intensity varying up to the creation of a hard spot corresponding to the selection of the reverse gear. | 06-25-2015 |
20140237810 | DEVICE FOR ATTACHING A KNOB OF A GEAR LEVER FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A plastic insert for securing a knob to a gear lever has, firstly, a part secured onto a free end of the lever and, secondly, a space formed in the coaxial extension of the part. Limited coaxial movement of the knob and insert in relation to the lever occurs under the effect of a shock exerted on the knob, to dampen the shock. | 08-28-2014 |
20140169860 | DEVICE FOR LOCKING A BODY ONTO A ROD - A body has a portion suitable for receiving a snap-fitting member that cooperates with a portion of a rod engaged in the portion of the body, the snap-fitting member being shaped so as to occupy a first retracted position in which the body can be freely moved on the rod and a second locked position in which the body is translationally locked on the rod. The snap fitting member may automatically switch from a first retracted unlocked position to a second locked position without a user having to exert any manual pressure on the snap-fitting member. | 06-19-2014 |
20140090237 | DEVICE FOR SECURING A CAP SCREW TO AN ELEMENT THAT IS TO BE ATTACHED TO ANOTHER ELEMENT - The cap screw ( | 04-03-2014 |
20130125693 | FORK FOR EFFECTING THE TRANSLATIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE SLIDING SLEEVE IN A GEARBOX - The fork comprises inserts, overmoulded in a body made of a thermoplastic resin. The inserts have a modulus of elasticity at least twice as high as that of the thermoplastic resin and are shaped to form an arc-of-a-circle profile substantially matching the cross section delimited by the two prongs of the fork and, possibly, a ring for housing a drive shaft, The resin is charged, in particular with glass fibres, capable of linking the functions performed by said inserts. | 05-23-2013 |
20130118284 | DEVICE FOR COUPLING A GUIDE ELEMENT SECURED TO AT LEAST ONE CABLE SHEATH, IN A SUPPORT MOUNT - The guide element has two opposed hooks in alignment, one of which is intended to be positioned angularly so as to bear and butt in a recess formed in the support mount, while the other hook is designed to bear on an elastic member belonging to said mount so as to trigger the pivoting movement of a tilting latch which engages with said other hook, under a tilting effect of said guide element that corresponds to a position of coupling with the support mount. | 05-16-2013 |
20130104684 | DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING A MOVEMENT FOR SHIFTING GEARS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE GEARBOX | 05-02-2013 |
20130031999 | DEVICE FOR DETECTING THE NEUTRAL POSITION OF A LEVER FOR CONTROLLING SHIFTING AND SELECTING GEARS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE GEARBOX - The lever is mounted such as to be capable of moving relative to a detector suitable for detecting lever movements and for sending electrical signals to a processing unit. The detector comprises an axially magnetised cylindrical magnet positioned according to the axis of rotation and selection of the lever corresponding to the selection of gears, and a sensor arranged opposite the magnet, such that the signal is independent of the angular position of the lever about the gear-selection axis. | 02-07-2013 |
20120240393 | DEVICE FOR ATTACHING AND RECOGNISING AT LEAST TWO COMPONENTS - The device includes at least one magnet associated with one of the components and at least one Hall-effect sensor arranged beneath a ferromagnetic part of the other component, so that the at least one magnet ensures the fixing of the components, while the at least one Hall-effect sensor provides, depending on magnet orientation, detection of the at least one magnet, through the ferromagnetic part, so as to distinguish the component equipped with the at least one magnet. | 09-27-2012 |
20120118094 | DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A MECHANICAL GEARBOX OF A VEHICLE BY CABLES USING A LEVER - A device has, in a vicinity of the lever and gearbox, members capable of being rotated as a result of displacement of the lever in order to exert a pull on strands of flexible cables attached to the members, regardless of the direction of angular displacement of the lever corresponding to gear shifting or gear selection. In the vicinity of the lever, one of the members is directly secured to the lever to constitute a shifting member, while the other member is controlled by the lever via a return element and constitutes a selection member. | 05-17-2012 |
20120062398 | USE OF A ROTATING KNURLED WHEEL IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD FOR MOVING AN ELEMENT IN TWO OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS - A knurled wheel is subject to a mechanism capable of creating a system of detents. The knurled wheel is fitted with sensors for detection and selection, by processing of information about the speed of rotation of the knurled wheel, either of a step-by-step manual operating mode, in one or other direction of rotation of the wheel, or of an automatic continuous operating mode until an end-of-travel or stop position is reached, in one or other direction, or until an action is performed on the knurled wheel. | 03-15-2012 |
20120041655 | DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A ROBOTISED GEARBOX OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A device for controlling a robotised gearbox of a motor vehicle is connected to a computer/electronic control unit to switch, at will, from a manual mode to an automatic mode. The control member is a touch screen subjected to the following steps: standby; storing of first coordinates of a digital pressure; storing of second coordinates at which the pressure is released; calculating a vector between the first and second coordinates; comparing length of the vector to a predefined length, and if the vector is shorter than the predefined length, the control member returns to standby; and if equal to or longer than the predefined length, orientation of the vector is compared to a predefined angular range; if the orientation of the vector is outside the range, the control member returns to standby; if the orientation is within the range, a desired command is validated. | 02-16-2012 |
