  • Brake transmission shift interface pin assembly
    Patent number: 10458542
    Abstract: A shifter system assembly for a steering column constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a shifter mechanism and a brake transmission shift interface (BTSI). The shifter mechanism receives a shift lever and selectively moves between a “Park” position and an out of “Park” position. The BTSI assembly comprises a BTSI pin assembly and a solenoid coil. The BTSI pin assembly includes a blocking pin, a solenoid pin and a coupler. The solenoid pin is separate and distinct from the blocking pin. The coupler couples the blocking pin and the solenoid pin. The BTSI pin assembly moves between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position the blocking pin inhibits movement of the shifter mechanism out of the “Park” position. In the retracted position, the blocking pin allows movement of the shifter mechanism to the out of “Park” position.
