Park lock device having a spring-guiding means

Abstract

The invention relates to a park lock device (10) comprising: a pivotable pawl (12) which can be pivoted between a locking position (20) in which the pawl (12) form-lockingly engages in a rotary component and a release position in which the pawl (12) is uncoupled from the rotary component; a slide (30) which can be moved relative to a support element (26) in the axial direction (28) such that the axial position of the slide is changed and which, in a first axial position (32), deflects the pawl (12) into the locking position (20); a spring element (46) which is coupled, at one end, to the support element (26) and, at the other end, to the slide (30) and which applies a spring force to the slide (30) when the slide (30) is in at least one of its axial positions (32); a spring-guiding means (60) which positions the spring element (46) on the slide (30) with respect to at least one direction (62) perpendicular to the axial direction (28), wherein an axial length (66) of the spring-guiding means (60) in the axial direction (28), proceeding from the slide (30) toward the support element (26), is less than a minimum spring length (70) of the spring element (46) in the axial direction (28).
