SHIFT KNOB

摘要

A shift knob ( 1 ) for a gearshift lever ( 3 ) of an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle has a locking bar ( 5 ) guided axially in the gearshift lever ( 3 ) and a release button ( 2 ) which can be actuated manually for actuating the locking bar ( 5 ) in relation to the gearshift lever ( 3 ). The release button ( 2 ) is arranged in the shift knob ( 1 ) at the top end of the gearshift lever ( 3 ). The release button ( 2 ) is connected to the shift knob ( 1 ) by means of at least one lever arm ( 16 ) via a mounting site ( 17 ). The length of the lever arm ( 16 ) of the release button ( 2 ) is selected such in relation to the path traveled by the release button ( 2 ) during the actuation that the release button ( 2 ) performs an essentially linear movement.
