Abstract: The position of a lever is adjustable relative to its bearing via a locking clip that is arranged opposite to a catch. The lever is arranged in a bearing shell with a ball therein in which the lever is arranged so as to be displaceable with the catch attached. The locking clip is guided in the walls of the ball, and the locking of the locking clip and catch in the closed state of the bearing shell forms a positive engagement. The adjustable ball bearing apparatus for shift levers and selector levers compensates for tolerances in the installation of a lever between the ball, the bearing shell, and the axis of the lever.

Abstract: A control device for electronic multi-step gear shifting control of an automatic transmission for motor vehicles functions to shift gears by means of the tip actuation of a selector lever with a shifting journal that can be pivoted from the automatic shift lane into the multi-step shift lane. The control device is configured as a tip shifting module in the form of a compact modular component with a sturdy housing. The tip shifting module serves to secure and hold in place several mechanical modules and electronic modules located therein and convert the mechanical shifting movement of the selector lever imparted on the input side into electric control signals that can be tapped at the output side of the module. A multi-track encoded magnet arranged in the housing of the module together with several Hall sensors ensures a reliable generation of switching signals.

Abstract: A gasket for the passage of at least one cable control line in the wall of an engine compartment, principally the engine chamber of motor vehicles, with the gasket being premounted on the cable control line and closing the engine compartment opening for the cable control line quickly and tightly, and having a slider. The gasket has a circumferential groove for the wall of the engine compartment, a recess for a slider, at least one opening for the cable control line, and at least one mounting groove for mounting clips of a slider. The slider has bridges and mounting clips that engage in the mounting grooves of the gasket. There is also a blocking lip on the gasket, which in the mounted state prevents the slider from sliding back, and a pull device on the slider.

Abstract: A device to switch over a mechanical shifting means between at least two shifting states, particularly for purposes of switching on and off a parking lock of an external selector for an automatic transmission, whereby a shifting gate that can be actuated via a shift gear lever having a connecting rod such as a pull rod or push rod is arranged in a housing and the parking position is held by a locking magnet, whereby a locking lever having an axis of rotation is provided inside the housing, said lever interacting with the locking magnet, whereby the locking lever is connected via a bell crank having a blocking pin and having an axis of rotation to the pull rod or push rod having an axis of rotation, and to a link slide that can be moved relative to a shifting gate.

Abstract: A plug connection with an installation securing device for cable lines comprises a sleeve with a central cylindrical cavity that is open at one end. A primary groove is open to the outer surface of the sleeve and the central cylindrical cavity. A wedge-shaped barrier that is integrally formed with the sleeve is disposed in the primary groove. A bolt is disposed in the central cylindrical cavity and it has a secondary groove that extends around its entire circumference. The secondary groove aligns with said primary groove when said bolt is fully inserted in said sleeve. A U-shaped spring is disposed in the primary groove holding the bolt in place by engaging the secondary groove via said primary groove. The U-shaped spring has hook-shaped ends that engage a wedge-shaped barrier, holding said U-shaped spring in place and thus said bolt in said sleeve.

Abstract: The quick fastening device fastens cable lines and absorbs vibration, especially on abutments of automobiles. The device has a retainer ring with a spring, as well as a pendulum tube and cable components. A firm component in the interior of the quick fastening device integrates components of a cable on one side, and an intake slit with a pendulum tube on the other side. The firm component is surrounded by a ductile component on which a sliding ring is arranged. The sliding ring is under a retainer ring. A spring is arranged in the interior of the retainer ring with one side against the ductile component and one the other side against the retainer ring. The retainer ring and the ductile component form a groove into which the abutment fits. The retainer ring is pulled back against the resistance of the spring, enlarging the groove, so that the abutment may fit into the groove.

Abstract: A bearing sphere for a gear shift lever is provided, preferably for a transmission for motor vehicles, in which the bearing sphere is disposed around the shift rod and the selection finger. The bearing sphere consists of two half-shells, which are releasably connected with the shift rod, the selection finger, and one another. Each half-shell has at least one depression for the shift rod, at least one claw element around the shift rod, an opening to hold an opposite claw element, at least one centering pin, and at least one hole for a centering pin, as well as an opening for the selection finger. The bearing sphere has the advantage that it no longer has to be produced on the gear shift lever using the injection-molding process, but rather can be affixed so as to be releasably connected with the shift rod, with little effort.
