348,605. Lockable gear control levers. HINDLE, E. M., Amesbury, Norwood Road, March, Cambridgeshire. Feb. 10, 1930, No. 4418. [Class 79 (iii).] A gear control lever 1 on a motor vehicle is locked when a rod 2, slidable therein, is drawn up so that its T-shaped lower end 3 engages notches in fixed cross-bars 17 below the lever pivot 6. The rod 2 is operated by rotation of a knob 9 having screw-threaded engagement with the lever, a key-operated lock 11, secured to the end of the rod and housed in the knob, serving to prevent actuation when the lock-bolt 12 is shot into a recess 13. The knob rotates on the rod 2 between a shoulder 18 and a cvlindrical bush 7 secured on the screw-threaded end, the thread and the opening in the bush being formed with flats to prevent rotation. The cylindrical lock 11 is secured to the bush 7 by bolts 14 protected by a soldered or otherwise permanently fired top-plate, its lower surface preferably being formed with teeth &c. engaging notches in the bush. The threaded extension 15 of the knob, screwing into the threaded end 16 of the lever, is enclosed by an outer sleeve 10. |
