  • Shifting device for the gearbox of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6533705
    Abstract: A shifting device is disclosed for automatic transmissions of motor vehicles with a selector lever, which is pivotable around at least one axis and by which the gears defined by the transmission of the motor vehicle can be selected. A shift position of the selector lever is associated with each gear. An actuator cooperates with a locking member, which is pivotable around an axis. The locking member is pivotable by the actuator around the axis and has an engaging contour corresponding to the particular shift position of the selector lever on the side facing the selector lever. The selector lever can thus be locked in each shift position.
