Patent ID: 8863603

Claim:
A gearshifting device for a transmission, comprising: a selector lever movable to select different shift positions (e.g., P, R, N, D, S, M+, M−) in at least a first gearshift gate and a second gearshift gate and adapted to shift between the first gearshift gate and the second gearshift gate, at least one shift lock, for blocking a traversing path of the selector lever with respect to one of the gearshift gates in order to shift from one of the shift positions (P, R, N, D, S) into another of the shift positions (P, R, N, D, S) in said one of the gearshift gates, at least one locking element mechanically coupled to the selector lever and by means of which the shift lock is activatable and/or deactivatable, in that with respect to whichever of said one of the gearshift gates that is to be blocked, the locking element is movable into or out of the traversing path of the selector lever, and wherein said locking element is liftable in the axial direction of the selector lever in order to move the selector lever from one shift position (e.g., D) into another shift position (e.g., S) of the one gearshift gate, a connecting element, which is coupled to a traction mechanism of the selector lever and adapted for lifting the locking element, said connecting element extending into an opening, passage or depression or material recess of the locking element; and a sliding block guide, which in the course of shifting between the gearshift gates converts the movement of the selector lever into the movement of the locking element, in order to activate or deactivate the shift lock; wherein the material recess of the locking element has both a wall section which makes active contact with the connecting element, and also an outlet area inside of which the connecting element moves when the selector lever executes a pivot movement from the first gearshift gate into the second gearshift gate.
