POLARIZED GEARCHANGE LEVER, IN PARTICULAR FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE GEARBOX

摘要

A polarised manual gearchange lever for a motor vehicle gearbox or the like comprises an upstream part having a knob and carried by a downstream part of the lever, with a slight misalignment between the two parts occurring on manipulation of the knob, together with a force threshold detector which includes electrical sensor means. The force threshold detector comprises a resiliently deformable, or elastic, bar having a head portion, which is fixed with respect to the knob, and a foot portion which is fixed against deflection in a female element that is itself fixed to the downstream part of the lever.
