摘要

The unit (1) has a movable handle (2) designed as a selector lever, and a pivoting unit (3) comprising a knuckle joint. The handle is operated together with the pivoting unit in such a manner that the handle is pivotable from a neutral position to a pivoting position, where the pivoting unit is supported at a carrier in a pretensioned manner by using a spring element. Bearing sleeves are arranged at ends of the knuckle joint, and lenticular contact surfaces are formed at the knuckle joint, where the handle is pivotable in pivoting planes that stay perpendicular to each other.
