LOCKING APPARATUS FOR A CHANGE-SPEED GEAR MECHANISM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

A detent mechanism for holding shifting members of a mechanical transmission gear system in different shifted positions. The shifting members may be formed as shifting rocker arms pivotable about a bearing for shifting gears of the transmission. A detent contour may be provided at each shifting rocker arm with the detent contour being adapted to be engaged by a resiliently flexible member. A fixed bearing is arranged between the shifting rocker arm with the resiliently flexible member being constructed as a flat spring resting on the bearing and having free ends thereof counterbearing on the detent contours of the respective shifting rocker arms.
