Adjustable shifter mechanism

摘要

A gear shifter includes a frame and a pivot frame pivotally mounted to the frame. A gear shift lever is pivotally interfaced to the pivot frame by a pivot pin passing through a bore in the gear shift lever. The gear shift lever extends upwardly beyond the frame and a lower section of the gear shift lever extends downwardly into the frame. A fastener passes at least partially though the gear shift lever and interfaces with the pivot pin such that, one position of the fastener locks the pivot pin within the gear shift lever and within the pivot frame and, a second position of the fastener frees the pivot pin from both, therefore facilitating removal of the gear shift lever. The lower section of the gear shift lever is interfaced to a first transmission linkage and the pivot frame is interfaced to a second transmission linkage.

主权项

1. A gear shifter comprising:
a frame, the frame configured for attachment to a vehicle, the frame having a front end positioned toward a front of the vehicle; a pivot frame rotatably interfaced to the frame; a gear shift lever pivotally interfaced to the pivot frame at a rotational interface; a first linkage connected to the gear shift lever; and a second linkage connected to the pivot frame; whereas the gear shift lever is removable at the rotational interface by actuation by a single fastener; and the first linkage is a first flexible rod having a movable section and a stationary section, a first end of the movable section of the first flexible rod is interfaced to the lower section of the gear shift lever and a distal second end of the movable section of the first flexible rod is interfaced to a first actuator lever of a transmission and the stationary section of the first transmission linkage is interfaced to the frame by means for adjustably interfacing the frame to the first flexible rod; and the second linkage is a second flexible rod having a movable section and a stationary section, a first end of the movable section of the second flexible rod is interfaced to the pivot frame and a distal second end of the movable section of the second flexible rod is interfaced to a second actuator lever of a transmission and the stationary section of the second transmission linkage is interfaced to the frame by means for adjustably interfacing the frame to the second flexible rod.
