Abstract
A shift lever apparatus is provided in which, after a slider has been assembled at a case, a link is assembled to the case while an intrusion shaft is inserted into a hole. For assembly of the link to the case, an assembly pawl provided at the link is resiliently deformed and inserted at an assembly portion which is provided at into the case. The assembly pawl includes an engaging protrusion that is engaged with a surrounding area of the assembly portion by resilient force of the assembly pawl. A blocking member is pre-positioned to interfere with the assembly pawl when the engaging protrusion is engaged with the surrounding area to block release of the assembly pawl.
Claims11
A shift lever apparatus comprising:
- a shift lever, a shift position of which is changed by moving;
- an assembly member disposed at a vicinity of the shift lever;
- a rotating member which is rotatably assembled to the assembly member and which detects the shift position of the shift lever by rotating in accordance with pivoting of the shift lever;
- an assembly portion provided at one of the assembly member and the rotating member;
- at least one assembly pawl provided at the other of the assembly member and the rotating member, the assembly pawl including resilience, the assembly pawl including an engaging protrusion which protrudes to an outer side, and the assembly pawl being inserted at the assembly portion and the engaging protrusion engaging at a surrounding area of the assembly portion for assembling the rotating member to the assembly member and a blocking member disposed in correspondence with the assembly pawl, the blocking member being pre-positioned to interfere with the assembly pawl when the engaging protrusion is first engaged at the surrounding area of the assembly portion, for blocking release of the engagement of the engaging protrusion at the assembly portion surrounding area.
A shift lever apparatus comprising:
- a shift lever, a shift position of which is changed by pivoting;
- an assembly member disposed at a vicinity of the shift lever;
- a rotating member which is rotatably assembled to the assembly member and which detects the shift position of the shift lever by rotating in accordance with pivoting of the shift lever;
- an assembly portion provided at the rotating member;
- at least one assembly pawl provided at the assembly member, the assembly pawl including resilience, the assembly pawl including an engaging protrusion which protrudes to an outer side, and the assembly pawl being inserted at the assembly portion and the engaging protrusion engaging at a surrounding area of the assembly portion for assembling the rotating member to the assembly member and a blocking member disposed in correspondence with the assembly pawl, the blocking member being pre-positioned to interfere with the assembly pawl when the engaging protrusion is first engaged at the surrounding area of the assembly portion, for blocking release of the engagement of the engaging protrusion at the assembly portion surrounding area.
