  • Patent number: 7574937
    Abstract: A control device for electronic multi-step gear shifting control of an automatic transmission for motor vehicles functions to shift gears by means of the tip actuation of a selector lever with a shifting journal that can be pivoted from the automatic shift lane into the multi-step shift lane. The control device is configured as a tip shifting module in the form of a compact modular component with a sturdy housing. The tip shifting module serves to secure and hold in place several mechanical modules and electronic modules located therein and convert the mechanical shifting movement of the selector lever imparted on the input side into electric control signals that can be tapped at the output side of the module. A multi-track encoded magnet arranged in the housing of the module together with several Hall sensors ensures a reliable generation of switching signals.

  • Publication number: 20050160859
    Abstract: A device to switch over a mechanical shifting means between at least two shifting states, particularly for purposes of switching on and off a parking lock of an external selector for an automatic transmission, whereby a shifting gate that can be actuated via a shift gear lever having a connecting rod such as a pull rod or push rod is arranged in a housing and the parking position is held by a locking magnet, whereby a locking lever having an axis of rotation is provided inside the housing, said lever interacting with the locking magnet, whereby the locking lever is connected via a bell crank having a blocking pin and having an axis of rotation to the pull rod or push rod having an axis of rotation, and to a link slide that can be moved relative to a shifting gate.
