Abstract: The multiple redundancy position sensor device intended for detecting the position of a shifter lever in a shifter device, comprises a first magnetic sensor and a second magnetic sensor facing the first magnetic sensor, one of the sensors being a dual die magnetic sensor. A polarized magnet is arranged between the sensors such that the polarized magnet can be rotated with at least one degree of freedom. A signal based on the angular position of the polarized magnet relative to the first magnetic sensor and the second magnetic sensor corresponding to a shifter lever position is output to control a vehicle transmission.

Abstract: The shift by wire shifter device comprises a selector that is movable relative to a fixed part according to a first shifting movement defined by a first shifting path and according to a second shifting movement defined by a second shifting path for selecting gearshift positions. One or both shifting paths extends from different gearshift positions. The selector and the fixed part are directly joined by a joint member such that the first shifting movement is a translational movement and the second shifting movement is a rotational movement, with the first and second shifting paths lying on the same plane.

Abstract: A gear shift device (100) includes a hollow, at least partially spherical retaining housing (110), a gear shift lever (120) having an at least partially spherical projection (130) received within the retaining housing (110), and means (140) for retaining the gear shift lever (120) against rotation around its longitudinal axis (125). The retaining means (140) includes at least one of grooves (150) and protrusions (160) for engaging at least one of corresponding grooves (150?) and protrusions formed in the at least partially spherical projection (130) of the gear shift lever (120), said grooves (150, 150?) and protrusions (160) being formed in the shape of two opposite cones.

Abstract: The shifter assembly comprises a shifter lever that can be moved according to a first movement to perform shift operations involving changing gearshift positions for controlling a vehicle transmission in at least one mode of operation, and according to a second movement to perform select operations to change between at least two different modes of operation, and a sensing unit comprising a magnetic sensor to detect both rotational and displacement movements of at least one magnet to identify whether shift or select operations are being performed by the shifter lever. The magnet is arranged to perform a rotational movement relative to the magnetic sensor according to one of the first or second movements of the shifter lever, and to perform a displacement movement relative to the magnetic sensor according to the other of the movements of the shifter lever.

Abstract: A shifting device comprises a selector lever movable relative to a fixed part and selector lever lock for preventing the lever from being moved when in a locking position (P) in which a vehicle transmission is blocked. The lock comprises a slider coupled with lever configured to slide through the fixed part from the locking position (P) to an unlocking position (R, N, D) in which vehicle transmission is unblocked. The slider may comprise one or more stop such that the slider can only be displaced through the fixed part or otherwise allowed to be rotated about an axis for changing into any of the unlocking positions (R, N, D).

The haptic device (30) may act between the knob (20) and the fixed part (10) and it may be mounted inside the knob (20). The haptic device (30) comprises a contoured surface fitted inside the knob (20) (31) and a follower finger (32) is arranged spring biased in the fixed part (10) towards the contoured surface (31).
