Shift lock arrangement of automatic transmission shift lever device

摘要

A shift lock arrangement (10) for an automatic transmission shift lever device (6) is comprised of a shift lock lever (16) which is in contact with a position pin (3) of the shift lever device (6) positioned in a parking position (2a). A lock lever (14) is in contact with the shift lock lever (16) to restrict the movement of the position pin (3) in the parking position (2a). A key lock unit (19b) is connected with the shift lock lever (16) so that the shift lock lever (16) keeps latching the position pin (3) in the parking position (2a) when an automotive key is not set therein. A slidable stopper pin (24) is connected with a push rod (29) pushed by a brake pedal (33) in a released condition. The stopper pin (24) latches the shift lock lever (16) so as to forbid the movement of the position pin (3) from the parking position (2a) to the other positions (2b) when the brake pedal (33) is in the released condition. When the brake pedal (33) is depressed, the push rod (29) is released from the brake pedal (33) and the stopper pin (24) is disengaged from the shift lock lever (16). Therefore, the shift lever device (6) is locked in the parking position (2a) when the key is not set in the key lock unit (19b) or when the brake pedal (33) is not depressed. $$
