Abstract: An illuminated position indicator for a control shift lever in which the shift lever housing has an associated dial with viewable character indicia thereon representing the respective driving range positions of the shift lever, the dial being associated with a light source providing a general illumination of all the dial indicia, and wherein a lens positioned between the dial and light source provides a concentrated beam for intensified illumination of the indicium corresponding to a selected position of the shift lever, a connection with the shift lever being such as to provide relative movements between the light beam and dial in response to shifting movements of the shift lever. In a modified arrangement, the dial indicium is visually intensified by colored backing member that is moved rectilinearly below the dial in response to selective movements of the shift lever.

Abstract: A pressure compensated flexible extensile and retractile elongated tubular bellows having opposite ends arranged to be sealingly connected with members operatively movable towards and away from each other, and in which the bellows has a wall structure formed to maintain a substantially constant internal pressure of entrapped fluid within the bellows, during extensile and retractile movements thereof.
