  • Patent number: 10927948
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting the position of a gearshift lever for selecting a gear/driving stage or a gear setting of a motor vehicle. The device has a signal transmitter installed on the gearshift lever and a signal receiver installed at a distance from the signal transmitter, wherein it is possible to detect the different positions of the signal transmitter relative to the signal receiver in different gears or gear settings. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle having such a device.

  • Patent number: 9677665
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gearshifting device (1), which is intended for a transmission and comprises a selector lever (2) that can be moved in such a manner that different shift positions (P, R, N, D, S, M+, M?) can be selected in at least two gearshift gates (3, 4) and that it is possible to shift between one of the gearshift gates (3, 4) and the at least one other gearshift gate (4, 3), and comprises at least one lock (5), which is used to block the traversing path of the selector lever (2) with respect to one of the gearshift gates (3, 4), in order to shift from one of the shift positions (P, R, N, D, S) into another of the shift positions (P, R, N, D, S).

  • Patent number: 5356945
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polyurethanes with softening temperatures above 80.degree. C. which are NCO-free, which are reactive via masked isocyanates, which are essentially linear and extensively pre-lengthened, and their preparation. The polyurethanes can be used as powders which can be processed like thermoplastics and post-cured.
