Abstract
In a transmission remote control assembly of a tilt-cab type vehicle a first link mechanism connected to a change lever, a second link mechanism connected to a transmission lever or levers and at least one connecting means comprising a pair of connecting members respectively connected to the first and second mechanisms are so arranged that when a cab body is in a horizontal stationary state, the pair of connecting members are in connecting engagement whereby the change and transmission levers may co-operate whereas when the cab body undergoes inclining movement, the pair of connecting members are disengaged so as to disconnect the first and second link mechanisms.

In a transmission control assembly of a tilt-cab type vehicle, in which a cab body is pivotably supported at the front end of a frame assembly by means of a tilt hinge, said control assembly comprising a change lever means carried by the cab body, a first link mechanism connected to said change lever means, a transmission lever means of a transmission mounted on the frame assembly, a second link mechanism connected to said transmission lever means, and at least one connecting means comprising a pair of connecting members, which are brought into connecting engagement when the cab body lies in the horizontal stationary state, but are disengaged from each other when the cab body is allowed to undergo inclining movement, said pair of connecting members being respectively connected to said first and second link mechanisms, whereby when said pair of connecting members are brought into connecting engagement, said change lever means and said transmission lever means may cooperate via the connected first and second link mechanisms, whereas when said pair of connecting members are disengaged from each other, said first and second link mechanisms are disconnected so that the cab body may undergo inclining movement the improvement comprising said transmission lever means having a shift lever and a select lever;
- said first link mechanism including a mechanism for shifting which is connected to said change lever means to transmit the shifting operation of said change lever means, and a mechanism for selection which is connected to said change lever means so as to transmit the selecting operation of said change lever means;
- said second link mechanism includes a mechanism for shifting which is connected to said shift lever and a mechanism for selecting which is connected to said select lever;
- and said connecting means has a pair of connecting members for shifting, for engaging, and for disengaging said mechanisms for shifting of said first and second link mechanisms, and another pair of connecting members for engaging and disengaging said mechanisms for selection of said first and second link mechanisms.
A transmission remote control assembly of a tilt-cab type vihcle in which a cab body is pivotably supported at the front end of a frame assembly by means of a tilt hinge, said control assembly comprising a change lever means carried by the cab body, a first link mechanism connected to said change lever means, a transmission lever means of a transmission mounted on said frame assembly, a second link mechanism connected to said transmission lever means, at least one connecting means comprising a pair of connecting members, which are brought into connecting engagement when the cab body lies in the horizontal stationary state, but are disengaged from each other when the cab body is allowed to undergo inclining movement, and a lock means for substantially locking said first link mechanism to the cab body when the cab body is allowed to undergo inclining movement and releasing said lock when the cab body lies in the horizontal stationary state, whereby when said pair of connecting members are brought into connecting engagement, said change lever means and said transmission lever means co-operate via the connected first and second link mechanisms whereas when said pair of connecting members are disengaged from each other, said first and second link mechanisms are disengaged so that the cab body may undergo inclining movement and at the same time, said first link mechanism is locked to the cab body.
