20080264194 | INTEGRATED AUTOMATIC MANUAL TRANSMISSION LEVER-TYPE SHIFT SELECTOR - A bimodal shifter assembly provides a radically simplified mechanical arrangement for movement of the shifter in each of two modes along distinct shift paths. | 10-30-2008 |
20100024584 | ACTUATING DEVICE WITH SELECTOR LEVER RETURN - An actuating device for selecting shift positions of a shift-by-wire gearshift transmission. The actuating device comprises a selector lever that is movable between stable lever positions from at least one drive mode position to a parking lock position, a detent device with a spring-loaded detent element, a detent guide-plate and a separating device with an actuator-operated thrust wedge. The detent element and the detent guide-plate can be moved by the thrust wedge from a first position, in which the detent element engages in a shift track of the detent guide-plate, to another second position in which the detent element is disengaged from the shift track of the guide-plate. The actuating device enables automatic return of the selector lever to the parking lock position and thus provides the driver with correct visual and tactile feedback about the actual shift status of the transmission. | 02-04-2010 |
20100101353 | ACTUATING DEVICE HAVING A SELECTOR LEVER ACTUATOR - An actuating device for selecting shift positions of a shift-by-wire gear shifting transmission. The actuating device comprises a selector lever that may be moved between at least a drive position and a parking lock position, the lever having stable selector lever settings, and a locking device for locking the selector lever in the parking lock position. The locking device comprises an actuator device such that the selector lever may be moved from the drive position into the park position by way of the locking and actuator devices. The actuating device makes it possible that the position of the selector lever of the actuating device matches the actual shifting state of the transmission at all times, and thereby offers reliable optical and tactile feedback for the driver of the actual shifting state of the transmission and may also serve as a mechanical emergency actuator for the parking lock. | 04-29-2010 |
20100107798 | SHIFTING DEVICE FOR AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - A shifting device for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, with a gear-shift lever, which can be moved in an automatic shift track to select several gear-shift positions, and with a latching mechanism, which comprises latching positions assigned to the gear-shift positions and also comprises at least one latching element, which cooperates with an arresting gate comprising several gate sections. | 05-06-2010 |
20110132124 | TRANSMISSION SHIFTING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A transmission shifting apparatus of a vehicle, may include a shifter movably installed along at least two straight paths which meet at one point each other, respectively, wherein at least two fixed points are arranged adjacent each other in at least one of straight paths, in which the shifter maintains a position thereof unless an external force is applied thereto, wherein the straight path having the at least two fixed points has a structure extending outward both sides of the at least two fixed points, and wherein one of the at least two fixed points in the straight path is formed to meet the other straight path of the at least two straight paths. | 06-09-2011 |
20120085193 | AUTOMOTIVE TRANSMISSION - Disclosed herein is an automotive transmission which includes shift lever which moves in a first direction and a second direction to select a shift position and a shift mode selection unit which is installed at one side of the shift lever to select a shift mode. Additionally, the disclosed automotive transmission also includes a shift blocking unit which selectively blocks movement of the shift lever in the first direction and the second direction such that a shift position of the selected shift mode is selected. | 04-12-2012 |
20140157933 | METHOD OF SETTING REFERENCE POSITION OF ACTUATOR IN AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION - A method of setting a reference position of an actuator in an automated manual transmission, may include acquiring a full stroke by checking both ends in a shifting direction, determining whether or not the full stroke is within a normal range, moving a finger to a position that is half of a previous full stroke when the full stroke acquired at the procedure of acquiring the full stroke exceeds the normal range as a result of determining whether or not the full stroke is within the normal range, and determining whether or not a selection operation is carried out at the position that is half of the full stroke after moving the finger to the position that is half of the previous full stroke. | 06-12-2014 |
20140157934 | Shifting apparatus for vehicle with DCT and control method thereof - An shifting apparatus includes a shift gate pattern allowing manual shifting as well as a shift gate pattern allowing automatic shifting and to implement a manual shift gate pattern substantially at the same level as a vehicle with an MT in the vehicle with a DCT such that a driver can enjoy more dynamic and interesting shifting with maintaining the advantages of convenient automatic shifting, thereby improving the commercial value of the vehicle, and a method thereof. | 06-12-2014 |
20140216195 | STRUCTURE OF LEVER OF VEHICLE TRANSMISSION - A structure of a shift lever that changes to a manual mode. The structure includes a shift lever that has a protrusion formed to a horizontal side and a base spaced from the shift lever to allow the protrusion to reach the base during horizontal movement of the shift lever. A G-return to which the protrusion is coupled is mounted on the base to be able to turn and a knob that is connected to one end of a knob lever pivotably mounted on the base with the other end of the knob lever facing the shift lever, slides with the horizontal movement of the shift lever. The conversion to a manual mode is sensed from the sliding of the knob and change to the manual mode is controlled by turning of the G-return. | 08-07-2014 |
20160091083 | Device and Method for Selectively Operating a Motor Vehicle in a User-Controlled or an Automatic Driving Operation Mode - A system for a vehicle operable in a user-controlled driving mode and an automatic driving mode includes a hand-operated control element and a contact sensor configured to detect whether a driver of the vehicle is holding the control element. The system further includes a controller to monitor an alertness of the driver while the vehicle is in the automatic driving mode depending on whether the driver is holding the control element and/or switch operation of the vehicle between the user-controlled driving mode and the automatic driving mode depending on whether the driver is holding the control element. | 03-31-2016 |
