1,201,381. Controlling vehicles. GKN SANKEY Ltd. 25 Jan., 1968 [3 Feb., 1967], No. 5224/67. Heading B7H. In a vehicle comprising a cab mounted for tilting on pivots mounted in brackets 16 and 17 about an axis 25 to provide access to the engine or other components, a gear shift lever 34 is fixed to a column 33 mounted in the cab so as to be rotatably and axially movable. At its lower end, the column is connected by a shaft 37 and ball joint 38, 39 to an arm 40 fast with a shaft 41 mounted in the bracket 17 for rotational and axial movement. A shaft 45 is similarly mounted for axial and rotational movement and is connected by a shaft 49, ball joint 50, 51 and arm 52 to a gearshift selector 54 for the vehicle transmission 13. The shafts 41 and 45 are connected through universal joints 42a and 44 and a link 43 for transmitting gear-selection movements from the lever 34 to the selector 54. In one position of the selector lever 34, e.g. neutral, the shaft 37 and arm 40 are in line with the tilt axis 25 so that the tilting of the cab does not disturb the gear selection in this position. |
