Lenkstockschalter als Getriebeschalter mit fixierbarer Neutralstellung

摘要

The invention concerns a steering shaft switch which can be used as a gear-change switch and can be moved from its neutral setting to one of its operating settings only by a particular manipulation in order to avoid the possibility of a gear being engaged inadvertently or of changing from forward travel to reverse when a gear is engaged. The steering shaft switch comprises a pretensioned retaining member (14) which locks the driving element (3) on the steering shaft switch in the neutral setting until the retaining member (14) is moved into its unlocking setting by a pivot movement of the switch lever (7). In this position of the switch lever (7), the driving element (3) can pivot in order to change gear.
