  • Device for locking an element in a stationary position for an automobile vehicle
    Patent number: 4413712
    Abstract: A locking finger member (7) cooperates with notches (3, 4) of a parking wheel (1). The respective contact surfaces (3a, 6a and 3b, 6b) are inclined in an asymmetric manner with respect to a radius of the parking wheel (1). It is then possible to choose these inclinations in such manner that the torques exerted on the locking finger member (7) upon its disengagement under the action of the rotation of the parking wheel (1) are substantially equal, even for a small longitudinal dimension of the locking finger member (7). Thus it is possible to construct a locking device of very small overall size.
