Patent ID: 8276726

Claim:
In a gearbox shifting point for producing a rotationally fixed connection between at least one gearwheel and one shaft, including a shaft, a shifting sleeve and two gearwheels, said two gearwheels each being rotatably mounted in relation to the shaft, said shifting sleeve being mounted in a rotationally secured fashion on the shaft, and said shifting sleeve and said two gearwheels being embodied in such a way that a positive locking, rotationally fixed connection can be produced between the shifting sleeve and, in each case, one of said two gearwheels, the improvement comprising: said shifting sleeve having a pair of surface arrangements for respectively interacting a surface arrangement of each of said two gearwheels; an armature plate arranged concentrically relative to said shaft and being joined to said shifting sleeve, whereby said shifting sleeve can be shifted by shifting said armature plate; and two electromagnets, mounted one on each side of said armature plate and being selectively activated so as to cause said armature plate to move said shifting sleeve between a first and a second engaged shifted state; and said shifting sleeve being mounted in such a way that at least one of said pair of interacting surface arrangements of said shifting sleeve is always engaged with the interacting surface arrangement of at least one of said two gearwheels during a movement of the shifting sleeve between the first and second engaged shifted states.
