Patent ID: 7430938

Claim:
A device for converting a biaxial pivoting movement of a gearshift lever into a planar movement of a gearshift lever position transmitter, the device comprising: a guide element for limiting the movement of the gearshift lever position transmitter to a movement in a noncurved plane; a transmission element for transmitting a pivoting movement of the gearshift lever about a first pivot axis into a pivoting movement of the gearshift lever position transmitter in said noncurved plane, wherein the pivot axis of the gearsshift lever is designed as a bearing bolt with an end designed as a joint head for being accommodated in the gearshift lever position transmitter; and a hinge joint for converting a pivoting movement of the gearshift lever about a second pivot axis into a movement of the gearshift lever position transmitter in said noncurved plane, so that the positions of the gearshift lever can be detected in said noncurved plane.
