Patent ID: 8522637

Claim:
A gear shift lever for a vehicle, comprising: a reverse gear blocking element configured to turn in an axial direction of the gear shift lever into a blocking position; a damping device configured to dampen when the reverse gear blocking element is turned in the axial direction of the gear shift lever into the reverse gear blocking element, a first rigid ring element of the damping device in the axial direction of the gear shift lever that surrounds the gear shift lever and comprises projections distributed on a periphery in the axial direction; a second rigid ring element comprising recesses in a region of the projections of the first rigid ring element; radial shoulders are arranged on the reverse gear blocking element and the gear shift lever against which the first rigid ring element and the second rigid ring element are supported axially; and a rubber-elastic third ring element is arranged between the first rigid ring element and the second rigid ring element that is deformable in a rubber-elastic manner between the projections of the first rigid ring element and the recesses of the second rigid ring element on returning of the reverse gear blocking element.
