  • Patent number: 9644718
    Abstract: A shift arrangement for a motor vehicle transmission has a housing. At least two push rods are mounted on the housing so as to be movable in an axial direction between a neutral position and a shift position. The push rods can each be coupled to a shift clutch. At least two return rods are mounted on the housing. The return rods are each coupled to one of the push rods so that a push rod and the return rod associated therewith are moved in opposite axial directions. A shift cam of a shift member can be aligned with a push rod or with a return rod for the purpose of selecting, and can transmit a pushing force to a selected rod. A driving feature is arranged on the shift member and can transmit a pushing force in order to move an unselected rod into the neutral position.

  • Publication number: 20150260285
    Abstract: A shifting arrangement for a motor vehicle gearbox has a housing which defines a longitudinal axis. A rod is mounted axially displaceably in relation to the housing and can be coupled to a shifting clutch arrangement. A shift shaft is mounted rotatably in relation to the housing and is oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis. The shift shaft being coupled to the rod by means of a driver device in such a way that the rod is displaced in a first longitudinal direction in the case of a rotation of the shift shaft in a first rotational direction. The driver device is a freewheel driver device which is configured in such a way that the rod is decoupled from the shift shaft in the case of a rotation of the shift shaft in a second rotational direction.

  • Publication number: 20150152944
    Abstract: Shift arrangement for a motor vehicle transmission which has at least two gear stages that can be engaged and disengaged by means of different rods has a housing. At least two push rods are mounted on the housing in such a way as to be movable in an axial direction between a neutral position and at least one shift position and which can each be coupled to a shift clutch or a shift clutch pack. At least two return rods are mounted on the housing in such a way as to be movable in an axial direction between a neutral position and at least one shift position. The return rods are each coupled to one of the push rods in such a way that a push rod and the return rod associated therewith are moved in opposite axial directions. A shift member is mounted on the housing in such a way that a shift cam of the shift member can be aligned with a push rod or with a return rod for the purpose of selecting, and can transmit a pushing force to the selected rod and move it in a first axial direction for a shift operation.

  • Publication number: 20070117670
    Abstract: An arrangement for variable drive of the wheels of an axle of a motor vehicle includes a control device for influencing the drive torque on the wheels. The control device comprises a mechanical control element and a hydrostatic control element, which cooperate to allocate a defined drive torque to a particular wheel of the motor vehicle.
