Abstract
A gear locking lever device having a gear lever locking device mounting base and a gear lever locking member mounted and attached to the gear lever locking device mounting base is provided. The gear lever locking member includes a base plate located above the gear lever locking device mounting base. The lateral side of the base plate is provided with engaging leg extending laterally toward both sides. An intermediate portion of the base plate is provided with a pin engaging hole. A lower portion of the base plate is provided with a ball bearing pocket with a ball bearing mounted inside the ball bearing pocket.
Claims23
A gear lever locking device comprising:
- a gear lever locking device mounting base;
- a gear lever locking member (15) including:
- a base plate pivotally attached to the gear lever locking device mounting base, and
- a gear lever lock loop fixed to the base plate;
- and
- a locking mechanism (20) operatively connected to the gear lever locking member (15) that includes:
- a key unit (32) moveable between a first position for locking the locking mechanism and a second position for unlocking the locking mechanism, and
- a first locking pin (24) operatively connected to the key unit (32), wherein the first locking pin is moveable between a locking position for locking the gear lever locking member in a locked position for inhibiting operational movement of a gear lever and an unlocking position for allowing pivotal movement of the gear lever locking member in response to operational movement of a gear lever, and
- wherein when the key unit is moved to the first position, the first locking pin is moved to the locking position and when the key unit is moved to the second position, the first locking pin is moved to the unlocking position;
- wherein the gear lever locking device mounting base comprises:
- a vertical plate (4),
- a first lateral body (2) connected to the vertical plate (4),
- a vertically inclined plate (7),
- an intermediate body (6) connected to the vertical plate (4) and the vertically inclined plate (7), and
- a second lateral body (10) connected to the vertically inclined plate (7);
- and
- wherein the first lateral body (2) is connected to a lower end of the vertical plate (4), a first end of the intermediate body (6) is connected to an upper end of the vertical plate and a second end of the intermediate body opposite the first end is connected to an upper end of the vertically inclined plate (7) and the second lateral body (10) is connected to a lower end of the vertically inclined plate.

- a gear lever lock loop fixed to the base plate;
- and
- a locking mechanism (20) operatively connected to the gear lever locking member (15) that includes:
- a key unit (32) moveable between a first position for locking the locking mechanism and a second position for unlocking the locking mechanism, the key unit including:
- a plurality of key code wedge receiving grooves (37c),
- a plurality of key code wedges (37d) received with the plurality of key code wedge receiving grooves,
- a first locking pin (24) operatively connected to the key unit (32), wherein the first locking pin is moveable between a locking position for locking the gear lever locking member in a locked position for inhibiting operational movement of a gear lever and an unlocking position for allowing pivotal movement of the gear lever locking member in response to operational movement of a gear lever, and
- a locking pin driving member (43) configured as a quadrangular block having an inclined surface (43b) with an acute angle with respect to a horizontal,
- wherein when the key unit (32) is moved to the first position, the locking pin driving member (43) slidingly engages the first locking pin to move the first locking pin to the locking position and when the key unit is moved to the second position, the first locking pin is biased to the unlocking position by a first biasing member (30).
