发明名称 Shift knob structure
摘要 A shift knob structure includes a shift knob body and a cover member. Movement of the shift knob body in a direction of shaft axis is restricted by a securing member supported by a support part of the shift knob body being locked by a locking groove in the shift shaft. When the cover member is rotated relative to the shaft knob body, the securing member is deformed radially outward and the securing member is unlocked from the locking groove in the shift shaft so that the shift knob body can be removed from the shift shaft.
