  • Patent number: 11473672
    Abstract: A shift lever assembly includes a shift lever, a folding device, and a fold interlock device. The shift lever is adapted to move between park and gear positions. The shift lever includes a base structure and an arm pivotally engaged to the base structure about a first axis. The folding device is adapted to pivotally move the arm with respect to the base structure about the first axis and between deployed and stowed states. The fold interlock device is adapted to move between locked and released positions, and includes a locking member adapted to abut the arm in a circumferential direction with respect to the first axis when in the locked position to prevent movement from the deployed state to the stowed state, and to circumferentially clear the arm when in the released position to enable actuation of the folding device from the deployed state to the stowed state.

  • Patent number: 10941852
    Abstract: A shift lever assembly includes a structural support, a shift lever, an autopark device, a folding device, and an interlock device. The shift lever includes a base structure and an arm. The base structure is pivotally engaged to the structural support about a first axis for movement between a park and gear positions. The arm is pivotally engaged to the base structure about a second axis for movement between deployed and stowed states. The autopark device is carried between the structural support and the base structure to effect movement between the park and gear positions. The folding device is carried between the arm and the base structure to effect movement between the deployed and stowed states. The interlock device is supported by the base structure, is adapted to operable interface between the autopark device and the arm, and is configured to move between locked and released positions.

  • Patent number: 10541469
    Abstract: An antenna for motor vehicles is provided having a base member, an antenna device, a radome, and a device for attaching the base member to a vehicle roof inside surface with the antenna device projecting outwards of the vehicle from within through an opening formed in the vehicle. The radome cooperates with the attaching device and the surroundings of the vehicle opening so as to enclose the antenna device in an assembled condition.
