UMKEHRMECHANISMUS ZUM PARKEN MIT SICHERHEITSVERRIEGELUNG.

摘要

A reverse-to-park mechanism (16) of the type in which a crank arm (32) is eccentrically pivoted relative to a reversable drive shaft axis (14). The crank arm (32) is held in a first position by a drive lug (52) on one side (50) of the crank arm (32) that prevents it from pivoting in one direction, and a latching lever (38) pivoted to the crank arm (32) engages a latching pin (54) to prevent the crank arm (32) from pivoting in the other direction. The orientation of a keeper surface (42) of the latching lever (38) relative to the cylindrical surface of the latching pin (54) that it contacts is designed to provide a very strong resistance to slip-off, whilst allowing a reversal-activated torque means (56) to easily move the keeper surface (42) off of the latching pin (54) to release the crank arm (32).
