Abstract
A detent mechanism for holding shifting members of a mechanical transmission gear system in different shifted positions. The shifting members may be formed as shifting rocker arms pivotable about a bearing for shifting gears of the transmission. A detent contour may be provided at each shifting rocker arm with the detent contour being adapted to be engaged by a resiliently flexible member. A fixed bearing is arranged between the shifting rocker arm with the resiliently flexible member being constructed as a flat spring resting on the bearing and having free ends thereof counterbearing on the detent contours of the respective shifting rocker arms.
Claims7
A detent mechanism for holding shifting means of a mechanical transmission gear system in respective different shifting positions, the shifting means including a pair of spaced shifting rocker arm means pivotable about a bearing means for shifting gear means of the transmission, and detent contour means provided on each of the rocker arm means adapted to be engaged by a resiliently flexible member, characterized in that a fixed bearing means is arranged between the pair of shifting rocker arm means, and in that the resiliently flexible member includes a flat spring means having a portion thereof resting on the fixed bearing means and having free ends thereof counterbearing on the detent contour means of the respective shifting rocker arm means.
