Abstract
The invention concerns a device for actuating a gearbox, in particular controllable by pulse control, the device comprising a housing and a lever mounted oscillating in the housing, and the lever being selectively activated via a knob movable along a first direction between two extreme transitory positions located on either side of a neutral position. The lever is slidably mounted relative to a housing along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and the lever selectively adopts an active position wherein it projects outside the housing, and an inactive position wherein it is retracted inside the housing.

An actuation device for actuating an automobile transmission controlled at least by pulse control comprising
- a housing, and a lever mounted so as to oscillate in the housing, the lever being selectively actuated by means of a knob which can be shifted, according to a first direction, between two extreme transitional positions situated on either side of a neutral position, wherein the lever is mounted so as to slide, relative to the housing, along a second direction essentially perpendicular to the first direction, and the lever selectively adopts, according to the second direction, an active position in which it projects from the housing, and an inactive position in which it is retracted in the housing.
