Selector device for a vehicle with an automatic gear system

A shifting device of a motor vehicle automatic transmission, the shifting device comprising:

• a selector lever;
• an automatic shift gate and sequence shift gate;
• a kinematic arrangement for transmitting the selection movements of said selector lever to an automatic transmission, wherein said selector lever can be moved around a first shift axis in said automatic shift gate for selecting automatic gears and around a second shift axis in said sequence shift gate for manually upshifting and downshifting gears, said kinematic arrangement including a central carrier pivotable around a selector axis, an inner bridge mounted pivotable on said central carrier and pivotable around said first shift axis extending essentially at right angles to said selector axis, and an outer bridge mounted on said inner bridge in said sequcace shift gate pivotable around said second shift axis and connected to said selector lever;
• and
• a selector for selecting the shift axes by a pivoting movement of said selector lever, said selector being indirectly or directly fastened to said central carrier, said selector including swivel aims mounted pivotably on a third axis extending at right angles to said selector axis and offset from said first shift axis, said swivel arms each having at least one locking element engagement and a locking element associated with said outer bridge, each locking element engaging a respective one of said locking element engagements depending on apposition of said selector lever.

A shifting device of a vehicle, the device comprising:

• a carrier rotatable about a selector axis between a first side position, a middle position, and a second side position, said first and second side positions being on diametrically opposite sides of said carrier middle position;
• a first bridge pivotally connected to said carrier about a first shift axis and movable between a first bridge position, and a second bridge position, said first shift axis being substantially perpendicular to said selector axis, said first bridge pivoting with said carrier about said selector axis;
• a second bridge pivotally connected to said first bridge about a second shift axis, said second bridge pivoting with said carrier about said selector axis;
• a selector lever connected to said second bridge
• a guide defining a first side shift gate, a middle shift gate and a second side shift gate, said first and second side shift gates being arranged on diametrically opposite sides of said middle shift gate at said first bridge position.
