  • Device for marking the position of automatic transmission gearshift lever arms
    Patent number: 5973593
    Abstract: The marking device includes a plurality of LED diodes (10,20,30,40,50,60,70) fitted to respective translucent marking plates (L1,L2,L3,L4,L5,L6,L7) whose number corresponds to that of the selectable positions of the gear shift lever arm (6). Each LED diode is electrically connected to a respective voltage divider consisting of two series-connected resistors (11,12; 21,22; 31,32; 41,42; 51,52; 61,62; 71,72) connected in series with the respective LED diode. A lever switch (2) cooperating with the gear switch lever arm (6) is connected with the voltage dividers so that all LED diodes are energized but the LED diode corresponding to the selected lever arm position emits a higher-level light flux than the remaining LED diodes.
