Abstract: A shift lever device comprises: a case including a check projection, the check projection having a surface curved with respect to an axial direction of a steering column; an operation lever provided swingably to perform upshift and downshift, the operation lever including a switch actuation portion; a support shaft supporting the operation lever swingably to the case; a bias unit configured to bias the operation lever toward a standby position from an operation position; and a switch configured to be turned on or off by the switch actuation portion. The bias unit and the switch actuation portion are arranged in an axial direction of the support shaft. The check projection and the switch are arranged in parts of the case that are opposed to the bias unit and the switch actuation portion, respectively, and arranged in the axial direction of the support shaft.

Abstract: A shift lever device includes: a body case configured to pivotally support a shift lever swingably; a circuit board including a electric component disposed on a board of the circuit board; a board cover including a housing part housing the circuit board in the board cover and configured to be mounted to the body case with the circuit board being housed in the housing part; a board supporting part provided to the board cover and configured to support the circuit board in the housing part; and an electric component supporting part provided to any one of the body case and the board cover and configured to support the electric component disposed on the circuit board. The circuit board is configured to be supported to the body case via the board cover.

Abstract: A shift lever apparatus includes: a housing; a shift lever including a shift lever base member extending in the Z-axis direction, and being arranged to pivot about the shift shaft in the X-axis direction, and a shift lever movable member arranged to move between a first axial side and a second axial side in an axial direction relative to the shift lever base member, the shift lever being arranged to move from a reference position on the first axial side, through an N-position on the second axial side, to one of a pair of positions; an urging member; and a detent pin, the housing including a guide groove arranged to guide the detent pin along the Z-axis direction so as to guide the shift lever movable member only from the N-position to the reference position when the shift lever movable member is positioned on the second axial side.

Abstract: In a shift lever device, the upward movement of a pull rod 45 within a shift lever 4 separates an engaging portion 48 from detent grooves 21, and the downward movement of the pull rod 45 within the shift lever 4 engages the engaging portion 48 with the detent grooves 21 in a shift direction. The shift lever device includes a restricting arm 44 protruding from the shift lever 4 along a shift pivot shaft 30, and a swing limiter 23 disposed along the shift direction in such a manner as to be engageable with and disengageable from the restricting arm 44. When the shift lever 4 is swung in the shift direction, the swinging of the shift lever 4 in a select direction Y is restricted or permitted by the swing limiter 23 engaging with or disengaging from the restricting arm 44.

Abstract: A shift lever device for a vehicle is provided. The shift lever device includes a shift lever rotationally operated to change an operating range position in an automatic transmission, a torque detecting unit having a supporting part to which an operator's operating force against the shift lever is inputted, the supporting part being arranged in a pivot part of the shift lever, an assist-force imparting unit that imparts an assist force to the shift lever corresponding to torque detected by the torque detecting unit and that outputs the assist force to the automatic transmission, a transmission plate attached to the supporting part of the torque detecting unit so as to rotate together with the supporting part integrally, and a check mechanism that presses the transmission plate elastically to impart operational feeling to the shift lever through the transmission plate.

Abstract: A column-shift type, shift lever arrangement for operating an automatic power transmission includes a shift locking mechanism which prevents a vehicle's driver from changing the position of a transmission shift lever. The shift locking mechanism engages an annular groove formed in a compression rod at a location neighboring one end thereof so as to mechanically lock the movement of the shift lever arrangement, until the vehicular driver depresses a brake pedal once, after engine starting is performed when the shift lever arrangement is positioned in a parking-range position.
