<p>A shifter mounted accessory control panel (10) which fits onto a shifter pole (12) to cooperate with an existing shifter knob (14) which includes a housing (20) having a rear pole mounting portion (22) and a front switch enclosing portion (24) separated by an internal wall (40). The rear pole mounting portion includes a bore (23) mounted coaxially with the shifter pole. The switch enclosing portion includes a top wall (42), a bottom wall (41), opposed side walls (65) and a front display face (39) which are connected together to form a compartment (61). A plurality of switches (35) are inserted into side wall openings (34). Each side wall is larger at the bottom wall than at the top wall, thereby causing the front edges (60) of the side walls to be angled outwardly from top to bottom. The upwardly and inwardly sloped front display face provides a viewing surface which a driver can easily read while seated in a driving position.</p> |
