Abstract:
1. A gear shift lever apparatus comprising: a housing comprising an upper housing and a lower housing; a first support shaft pivotally supported on the upper housing; a gear shift lever swingably supported via the first support shaft; an engagement member provided to a lateral side of the gear shift lever and protruding in a direction orthogonal to a plane on which the gear shift lever swings; a second support shaft pivotally supported on the lower housing in parallel to the first support shaft with at least part of the second support shaft overlapping the first support shaft in an axial direction thereof; a selector lever swingably supported via the second support shaft; an engagement receiver formed in a lateral side of the selector lever, extending in a direction orthogonal to a plane on which the selector lever swings, and being engageable with the engagement member in a swing direction thereof; and the selector lever overlapping the first support shaft in the axial direction and configured to prevent the selector lever from interfering with the first support shaft upon swinging of the gear shift lever due to a manipulation of the gear shift lever through engagement between the engagement member and the engagement receiver.
