Patent ID: 7353726

Claim:
A shifting device for a multi-step transmission, in which at least one gearshift package ( 53 , 54 , 55 ) is allocated to two non-successive gear transmission ratio steps, in which each of the gearshift packages ( 53 , 54 , 55 ) is coupled through and actuated by at least one of sliding selector shafts and gearshift cables with a first gearshift lever ( 35 ), a shifting pattern is allocated to the first gearshift lever ( 35 ), in which two successive gear transmission ratio steps are positioned essentially opposite each other in a gearshift path, the gear transmission ratio steps selectable within the gearshift path are allocated to different gearshift packages, and the first gearshift lever ( 35 ) and the gearshift packages ( 53 , 54 , 55 ) are connected with a conversion device, by means of which an other gearshift lever movement in a first gearshift path results in taking out of a preceding gear (G 1 , G 3 , G 5 , G 7 ) of a first gearshift package ( 53 , 54 , 55 ), a second gearshift lever movement in the first gearshift path results in insertion of a new gear (G 2 , G 4 , G 6 , RG) of a second gearshift package ( 53 , 54 , 55 ), the first gearshift lever ( 35 ) is coupled with an axially displaceable shift finger shaft ( 1 ) which can be swivelled around a longitudinal axis, the shift finger shaft ( 1 ) respectively penetrates an opening of gearshift frames ( 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ) connected with sliding selector shafts ( 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ), at the shift finger shaft ( 1 ) at least one shift finger ( 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ) per gear transmission ratio step, or per gearshift frame ( 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ) is arranged, and each of the gearshift frames ( 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ) has at least one recess ( 9 , 9 a ) in an area of an opening, to which the at least one shift finger ( 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ) is arranged.
