Locking device

Locking device with a locking element for selective locking of at least a first selector shaft (4. 5, 6, 7) actuated by a shift finger (2a) and a second selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7), wherein the shift finger (2a) pivoted around a tilt axis (9a, 34) is alternatively moveable to positively engage in one of the selector shafts (4, 5, 6, 7), and wherein the selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) in which the shift finger (2a) engages, is longitudinally displaceable in at least one direction by means of the shift finger (2a) pivoting around a pivot axis (8a, 36), and simultaneously the other of the selector shafts (4, 5, 6, 7) is longitudinally fixed by a locking member with respect to the selected displaceable selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) when the shift finger (2a) is pivoted around the tilt axis (9a, 34) wherein the locking member is a locking finger (12), the locking finger (12) alternatively positively engages in a slot (4b), open in a direction of the tilt axis (9a, 34) and also in the pivoting directions of the locking finger (12) pivoted around the tilt axis (9a, 34), on one of the selector shafts (4, 5, 6, 7), and wherein the first selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) is longitudinally fixed, when the shift finger (2a) pivoted around the tilt axis (9a, 34) positively engages in the second selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7);

• wherein the second selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) is longitudinally fixed by means of the locking finger (12) when the shift finger (2a) pivoted around the tilt axis (9a, 34) positively engages in the first selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7);
• wherein the locking finger (12) pivoting around the tilt axis (9a, 34) is pivotable in slots (4b) lying one behind another in a pivoting direction of the locking finger (12) and mutually aligned, until the shift finger (2a) positively engages in one of the selected longitudinally movable selector shafts (4, 5, 6, 7) and also the locking finger (12) engages in the slot (4b) of at least one selector shaft (4, 5, 6, 7) to be fixed;
• wherein the locking finger (12) positively extends out from a casing (10, 31) to engage in at least one of the slots (4b);
• and wherein the locking finger (12) is formed integrally with and extends from the casing (10, 31) which are formed from one piece of bent-up sheet metal.
