Claims20
Device for increasing a selection force on a shift lever (2, 35) pivotable around a pivot axis (8a, 36) and also around a tilt axis (9a, 34) aligned transversely to the pivot axis (8a, 36), the selection force upon pivoting movements of the shift lever (2, 35) around the tilt axis (9a, 34) being produced by at least one lever (24, 38) movable against a spring (22, 39) and a runoff roller (23, 40) placed in operative connection with the lever (24, 38), wherein the device is integrated into a support arrangement (1, 29) for pivotable support of the shift lever (2, 35) by a casing (10, 31) in a housing (3);
- wherein the support arrangement (1, 29) supports the shift lever (2, 35) pivotably with respect to the casing (10, 31) around the pivot axis (8a, 36) and also supports the shift lever (2, 35) with the casing (10, 31) pivotably with respect to the housing (3) around the tilt axis (9a, 34) aligned transversely to the pivot axis (8a, 36).
13 Device according to claim 12, wherein at least a first selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) and a second selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) are allocated to the shift finger (2a), the shift finger (2a) pivoted around the tilt axis (9a. 34) positively engages, movable selectively, in one of the selector shafts (4, 5, 6, 7) and wherein the selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) in which the shift finger (2a) engages is longitudinally displaceable in at last one direction by the shift finger (2a) pivoting around the pivot axis (8a, 36).
