Abstract: A claw-type gearshift has a sliding sleeve which is adapted to be axially displaced on a hub body and a clutch body of a speed change gear. The hub body has at least one thrust piece arranged thereon which includes a friction surface that cooperates with a mating friction surface on the clutch body, the at least one thrust piece being displaceable in the circumferential direction between a release position and two locking positions that are located on either side of the release position. A first locking structure on the at least one thrust piece cooperates with a second locking structure on the internal toothing of the sliding sleeve. The locking structures are configured such that in each of the locking positions, the locking structures rest against each other such that a further axial movement of the sliding sleeve is blocked. For shifting a gear, a difference in speed between the clutch body and the hub body is reduced.

Abstract: In a claw-type gearshift, a blocking ring is arranged axially between a hub body having a sliding sleeve and a clutch body such that it is rotatable between a release position and two locking positions. The blocking ring is adapted to be displaced toward the clutch body until conical friction surfaces on the blocking ring and on the clutch body come into contact. The blocking ring constitutes a form-locking blockade for the sliding sleeve against displacement of the sliding sleeve teeth between the clutch body teeth when an axial shifting force is applied in the non-synchronized state. When the claw clutch is shifted, a difference in speed between the clutch body and the hub body is reduced and the sliding sleeve is deflected in the axial direction toward the speed change gear to be shifted, as a result of which a friction surface of the blocking ring and a mating friction surface of the clutch body come into contact.
