20110162475 | SELECTOR LEVER HAVING ACTUATING CHANGE OF POSITION - An operating device for shift-by-wire transmission comprises a selector lever which has a detent mechanism. The detent mechanism comprises bevel and notched contours that can be displaced for automatically returning the selector lever back to the first lock position or shift gate. The notched contour is spring-biased toward the selector lever detent element and overlaps the bevel contour in its first position, and an actuating block is provided for locking the notched contour in its first position near the detent element. The spring-loading of the notched contour is weaker than the spring-loading of the detent element, and the shape of the first detent position of the notched contour matches that of the first detent position of the bevel contour when the notched contour is located in the first position. The operating device enables actuator-controlled automatic return, and optional locking of the selector lever with little design effort, while simultaneously having low space requirements and minimal generation of any disturbing noise. | 07-07-2011 |
20110219901 | ACTUATING DEVICE FOR SELECTING FIXED GEAR RATIOS OF A GEAR CHANGING TRANSMISSION - An actuating device for selection on shift steps of a gear changing transmission. The actuating device comprises a flexible gear selection device ( | 09-15-2011 |
20120111134 | SHIFT-BY-WIRE ACTUATING DEVICE HAVING MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE ACTUATION - The structure and the installation of the mechanical transmission linkage to the parking lock is simplified in that the mechanical transmission linkage allows a smooth operation and serves also as an actuating devices having more than one shift gate without requiring complex modifications. An actuating device for selecting gear steps of a shift-by-wire gearshift transmission with a base housing, a selection lever, mechanical transmission for actuating a parking lock, and with a coupling system with a coupling element between the selection lever and the transmission. The transmission is selectively actuated by the coupling element only during selection and/or deselection of the parking lock position on the selection lever. The actuating device has includes the coupling element with a first end which is linearly guided in a slot and a second end which is in certain sections pivotally guided in a slot. The two ends of the coupling element are each supported on both sides in associated slotted tracks in the base housing. The coupling element is indirectly coupled to the selection lever. | 05-10-2012 |
20130139632 | TRANSLATORY ACTIVATION DEVICE WITH INDIRECT LATCHING - An activation device for selecting shift stages of a shift-by-wire vehicle transmission comprises a housing and an activation knob which can be moved in a translatory fashion and a latching device with a latching pin and latching contour as latching elements for generating latching forces and restoring forces. The activation device is defined by a latching gearwheel which is in engagement with a toothing arrangement on the activation knob. In this context, one of the two latching elements is connected to the latching gearwheel and in this way forms a rotatable latching element. The second latching element is directly or indirectly connected to the base housing and forms the fixed latching element. | 06-06-2013 |
20130199326 | SHIFT-BY-WIRE SHIFTING DEVICE HAVING MECHANICAL PARKING LOCK ACTUATION - An actuation device for selecting gear settings of a shift-by-wire gear shifting transmission comprises an actuation element, a mechanical transference for actuating the parking brake, and a coupling device disposed between the actuation element and the mechanical transference. An actuation of the transference occurs selectively by the actuation element only when the parking brake setting is selected or de-selected at the shift lever. | 08-08-2013 |
20140111228 | POSITION DETECTION DEVICE - A position detection device having a first electrode pair, an electrically conductive body that forms an electrical resistor which is electrically connected to the electrodes of the first electrode pair and extends in a first direction (y), between them, and with a measurement electrode which is in electrically conductive contact with the surface of a measurement area of the body located between the electrodes of the first electrode pair and can move relative thereto. The body is electrically connected to the electrodes of a second electrode pair and extends between them in a second direction (x) such that the measurement area is located between the electrodes of the second electrode pair. | 04-24-2014 |
20140174233 | MODULAR ACTUATOR FOR VEHICLE TRANSMISSIONS - An actuator for selecting shift stages of a vehicle transmission comprises a lever housing, a selector lever, as well as a transfer device for transferring switching commands to the speed change gear. The actuator is characterized by am exchangeable module adapter which is arranged between the lever housing and the transfer device. The module adapter has the purpose of adapting the actuator in such a way that the ergonomic point of the actuator can be changed in vertical and/or horizontal direction and thus be adapted to different situations of assembly. The actuator can be adapted to be installed in different vehicle types primarily by selecting the appropriate module adapter and without requiring considerable structural changes. | 06-26-2014 |
20140316227 | MEASUREMENT DEVICE TO CAPTURE VITAL PARAMETERS - The invention concerns a measurement device to capture at least one vital parameter of a person in a motor vehicle with a steering wheel. The measurement device includes a finger sensor device with an optical sensor device, where the finger sensor device is attached to the steering wheel in the transition zone between a steering wheel spoke and the hub of the steering wheel. | 10-23-2014 |
