Shift selector with a position signalling device

摘要

The mechanism has a self-resetting selector lever. The selected operating position, and other positions which can be selected from it, are always indicated, and there are more operating positions than there are directions in which the lever can be deflected. The actually-selected operating position and the further ones which can be selected are always shown on the same side. For selection of each particular operating position the lever must always be deflected in the same direction. The direction in which the lever must be deflected to give the operating position already selected can be optically displayed in a different manner to those in which deflection must take place to give the positions not selected.
