Stop mechanism with hard transition point - has locking mechanism coupling part to rod over partial movement range

摘要

A supporting rod (28) moves in a housing (30) between a rest position, to which it is returned by a restoring device (34), and a stop position. An adjustable part (36) in the housing has a releasable locking device (40) acting against a second restoring mechanism forcing the part towards the rest position. The locking device works with the rod to couple the part to the rod over part of its movement and release it from the rod when a defined position is reached. USE - Fuel supply systems for vehicles with automatic transmissions for preventing gear hunting.
