Abstract:
1. A gear shift mechanism comprising: a plurality of actuators, wherein associated with each actuator are; a fixed sleeve which is non-rotatably connected with a shaft; a sliding sleeve which is non-rotatably and axially displaceably along a longitudinal axis of the sliding sleeve arranged on the fixed sleeve; and a displacement device for axial displacement of the slide sleeve; wherein each actuator operates its displacement device to axially displace its sliding sleeve, wherein each actuator is connected by way of at least one joint with its displacement device, wherein three shifting channels are provided and wherein one fixed sleeve, one sliding sleeve, one displacement device and one actuator are assigned to each of the three shifting channels, and wherein two exterior actuators of the three actuators are arranged diagonally with respect to a longitudinal axis of the assigned sliding sleeve and wherein a center actuator of the three actuators is arranged coaxially with respect to a longitudinal axis of its assigned sliding sleeve and is rigidly connected with its assigned displacement device.
