  • Patent number: 8556058
    Abstract: A device (1) for actuating a parking lock comprises an emergency release mechanism. The device (1) for actuating the parking lock comprises an electric actuator (2) with an actuator output element (3) which is moveable in translation, and the actuator output element (3), when moved in a first direction, disengages the parking lock and when moved in an opposite second direction, engages the parking lock. The actuator output element (3) is connected to the parking lock by a clutch (6), and the clutch is disengageable, by the emergency release mechanism, to permit manual movement of the clutch in the first direction to disengage the parking lock.

  • Publication number: 20110146439
    Abstract: A parking lock mechanism for a transmission which comprises a mechanical locking device, a movable thrust element that is connected to the mechanical locking device such that the thrust element can move the locking device between locked and unlocked conditions. The lock mechanism includes a parking lock actuation device with a first movable output element, an emergency actuation device with a second movable output element, and a first elastic element. The first output element is connected, via the first elastic element, to the thrust element so that movement of the first output element can be transmitted, via the first elastic element, to the thrust element, and the second output element is directly connected to the thrust element. The thrust element has a recess in which one side of the elastic element contacts a first wall of the recess and another side of the elastic element contacts the first output element.
