Abstract: Arrangement for manually altering the mutual position setting in a lateral direction of the first and second parts of a two-part gear lever (2) mounted articulately in a vehicle, where the first part is an upper lever element (6) and the second part is a lower lever element (8) articulately connected to the upper lever element by means of a link which incorporates a first articulating device (14) fastened in the lower end of the upper lever element and articulately connected to a second articulating device (18) fitted at the upper end of the lower lever element. Between the lever elements (6, 8) there is a locking arrangement (64) which normally prevents manual pivoting of the lever elements in the link. The first articulating device is a guide sleeve (14) which has a cylindrical aperture (16) running through it and is mounted for rotation on a second articulating device consisting of a bearing bushing unit (18) which is mounted on, and for joint rotation with, a supporting spindle (20).

Abstract: A gear lever (7) is arranged between the driving seat and the passenger seat in a truck. The gear lever (7) incorporates a disengageable locking mechanism (34) by means of which it is possible to lower the gear lever (7) from a substantially vertical position of use to a position in which it does not limit the driver's mobility in the cab. When the gear lever (7) has been lowered, the driver can move from the driving side to the passenger side of the truck.

Abstract: Arrangement for manual resetting of the mutual positional setting of an upper lever element (6) and a lower lever element (8) connected articulatedly to the latter, which lever elements together form a two-part gear lever (2) supported articulatedly in a vehicle. The lower end of the upper lever element (6) has fastened in it a guide sleeve (18) which is supported for rotation on a supporting spindle mounted in a holder yoke (22) which is fastened in the upper end of the lower lever element (8) and which has sidewalls (24, 26) and a reference wall (28) which not only connects these sidewalls but also has a position fixing portion (30). Between the lever elements (6, 8) there is a locking mechanism (32) which normally prevents mutual movement of the lever elements (6, 8).
