Abstract
In a gearshift device of a multiple-gear transmission of a motor vehicle in which gear shift gates are selected by the rotation of a central selector shaft (2) and gear steps are engaged by the subsequent axial movement thereof. The selector shaft (2) is non-rotatably and axially movable via roller bodies in a hub (4) of a lever-type selector rocker (3). Several rows of balls (12) extending axially, which with a part of their surface positively engage in guide grooves (10 and 11) both of the hub (4) and of the selector shaft (2), are arranged in a cage (13) situated between hub (4) and selector shaft (2) to prevent backlash between the hub (4) and the selector shaft (2) in a peripheral direction in a radial direction.
Claims10
A gearshift device for a multiple-gear transmission motor vehicle which includes in a transmission housing (1), a rotatable and axially movable central selector shaft (2) by whose rotation can be selected a respective gearshift clutch to be actuated in a gearshift gate and by whose subsequent axial movement gear steps are engageable, a selector rocker (3) designed as lever in whose hub (4) is non-rotatably and axially movably passed, via roller bodies that engage in axially extending guide grooves of said hub (4), said selector shaft (2) which is movable from a central to a selected end position against tension of at least one spring element (7 and 8) secured to the housing, characterized in that said selector shaft (2) has guide grooves (10) and said roller bodies are designed as balls (12) which, arranged in several axially extending rows, are situated in a cylindrical cage (13) in a radial interspace between said hub (4) and said selector shaft (2) and a part of their surface is passed in positive engagement into the guide grooves (11 and 10) of both said hub (4) and said selector shaft, there being compressed into said hub (4) a plate ring (29) which has the guide grooves (11) for said balls (12).
A gearshift device for a multiple-gear transmission of a motor vehicle which includes in a transmission housing (1), a rotatable and axially movable selector shaft (2) by whose rotation can be selected a respective gearshift clutch to be actuated in a gearshift gate and by whose subsequent axial movement gear steps are engageable, a selector rocker (3) designed as lever in whose hub (4) is non-rotatably and axially movably passed, via cylindrical roller bodies that engage in axially extending guide grooves of said hub (4), said selector shaft (2) which is movable from a neutral to a selected end position against tension of at least one spring element (7 and 8) secured to the housing, characterized in that said selector shaft (2) has guide grooves (18 and 19, 27), said guide grooves (18, 19, 20 and 21, 27 and 28) of said hub (4) and of said selector shaft (2) are V-shaped, said roller bodies (22 and 23, 35 and 26) are passed into a cage (21) and roll out on rolling paths (18A and 20A) of said V-shaped guide grooves parallel with each other, and axes of rotation of adjacent roller bodies (22 and 23) intersect each other forming in a 90.degree. angle.
A gearshift device for a multiple-gear transmission of a motor vehicle which includes in a transmission housing, a central selector shaft (30) rotatable and axially movable by whose rotation can be selected a respective gearshift clutch to be actuated in a gearshift gate and by whose subsequent axial movement gear steps are engageable, a selector rocker designed as lever in whose hub (34) is non-rotatably passed via roller bodies said selector shaft (30) which is movable from a neutral to a selected end position against tension of at least one spring element secured to the housing, characterized in that said selector shaft (30) is designed as a right prism (31) at least over an axial area on which it is movably passed within said hub (34) of said selector rocker, said hub (34) having guide surfaces (33) which extend parallel to side surfaces (32) of said prism (31) and roller bodies (35), passed into a cage (36) adapted to the cross section of said prism, are situated between the side surfaces (32) and the guide surfaces (33).
