Patent ID: 7225700

Claim:
A switchgear ( 2 ) with a one-shaft switching device in the housing of a vehicle manual shift gearbox comprising a central disengaging shaft ( 32 ) and fork-like shifting elements in the form of shifting arms or shifting forks ( 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 ), which selectively and individually engage with the disengaging shaft ( 32 ) through the rotation of the disengaging shaft ( 32 ) and which perform a gear shift of the selected shifting element through the movement of the disengaging shaft ( 32 ) along the rotating axis of the disengaging shaft ( 34 ) and where the switching element ( 2 ) is equipped with a first element ( 58 , 60 ) connected with the disengaging shaft ( 32 ) that cooperates with a second element ( 62 ) that is fastened on the housing to define the rotation of the disengaging shaft, wherein the second element ( 62 ) fastened on the housing is equipped with slots ( 66 ) of defined width in a number corresponding to the number of shifting latitude paths that cooperate with two pins ( 58 , 60 ) located on the disengaging shaft ( 32 ), which form the first element and where one of the pins ( 58 , 60 ), when a gear level located in one of the selected shifting latitude paths is shifted, engages in the appropriate slot ( 66 ) that corresponds to the appropriate shifting latitude path when the disengaging shaft ( 32 ) is rotated.
