Patent ID: 6913121

Claim:
An auxiliary system for an automobile, the system comprising: a base plate; a parking lever hinged to the base plate for pulling a parking cable by way of rotary manipulation; a latch plate, rotatably mounted at said base plate, for cooperating with a manipulating rod mounted at the parking lever to maintain the rotated state of said parking lever; a manipulating system for changing the rotating state of the latch plate, said manipulating system comprising a motor; and a control system for controlling the manipulating system for a period of time according to the manipulation of an operation switch and an acceleration pedal, said control system comprising an electronic control unit (ECU); wherein said latch plate comprises: an arch-shaped latch portion formed to create a hitched state with the manipulating rod at said parking lever; and a round latch portion formed at a rotary shaft of said latch plate; wherein the manipulating system further comprises a fixing system for meshing with the round latch portion of said latch plate to constantly maintain the rotated state of said latch plate; and said motor provides a turning effect to the rotary shaft of said latch plate; and wherein the fixing system comprises: a locking member mounted in a slidable and linearly movable fashion for switching the meshed state of said round latch part at said latch plate; a locking housing for guiding the linear movement of the locking member; a support spring, mounted between the locking housing and said locking member, that resiliently supports said locking member while said locking member is retracted from said round latch part; a cam member that contacts with said locking member and moves in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of said locking member, thereby switching the meshed state between said locking member with said round latch part and a fluid pressure system for sliding the cam member.
