  • Patent number: 5159847
    Abstract: A shift apparatus for shifting a transfer case between a High-Range operating mode and a Low-Range operating mode. The shift apparatus includes a sector plate supported within the transfer case for rotation about an axis. A range pin member extends into a range slot formed in the sector plate. The range pin member is adapted to move a first shift fork in response to selective rotation of the sector plate between first and second positions corresponding to the High-Range operating mode and the Low-Range operating mode of the transfer case. The range slot has a first camming edge provided for moving the range pin and first shift fork toward the first position upon rotation of the sector plate in a first direction, and a second camming edge for moving the range pin and first shift fork toward the second position in response to rotation of the sector plate in a second direction.
