KUGELRASTE FUER DIE SICHERUNG VON VERSTELLPOSITIONEN EINES STELLELEMENTES, INSBESONDERE EINES SCHALTGESTAENGES FUER KRAFTFAHRZEUGE

摘要

The invention relates to a ball stop (7) for maintaining in position an axially and/or pivotably movable control component, especially a shift linkage of the gear box for motor vehicles. In order to reduce the number of components and simplify assembly, and manufacture, both the casing (10) and the guide component (14) guided therein via a cage (17) fitted with rollers (18) are deep-drawn components. Here, the guide component (14) is fitted with an inwardly directed collar (28) which serves both to guide the stop ball (9) and to support the ball cup (26) in which the stop ball is also guided. The ball cup (20) is held against the latter via the push-out spring (33). In addition, the casing (10) has an inwardly directed edge (20) which is flanged after the assembly of the components and also serves as a stop for the push-out movement of the guide component (14) in relation to the casing (10) in which the frontal surface (25) of the cage (17) is supported, against the other frontal surface (24) of which lies the collar (22) of the guide component (14).
