Sperreinrichtung für einen schwenkbaren Wählhebel eines Automatikgetriebes sowie Verfahren zum Sperren eines Wählhebels

摘要

A cranked pivoting interlock lever (4) is held in a first position by a magnet (5) at one end to interlock the selector lever (2) in the park position and counter balanced so that it can be easily returned to this position. The other end of the lever engages with an interlock contour (6). An interlock needle (3) engages in the selector lever and is released when a brake or ignition key switch is operated, drops into a triangular cut-out (15) and the lever arm drops. As the interlock surface (11) is now open the selector lever can be moved to the drive position. An Independent claim is made for a method to secure a selector lever within a check outline.
