Abstract: In an operating unit for a motor vehicle power transmission including a shift selector lever a first guide member with a guide slot arrangement is connected to the steering column shift lever for movement therewith and has a first guide path and a second guide path extending at an angle from the first guide path and including a locking location and a release location, and a blocking member of an electrically actuated magnet is arranged at the jointure of the first and second guide paths for blocking access to the first guide path to a locking member extending into the guide paths when an ignition lock is not activated whereby the shift lever is mechanically prevented from being placed into a position permitting any movement of the vehicle.

Abstract: An adjustable foot-lever assembly which has an outer pedal-bearing block held fixed to the vehicle, and an inner pedal-bearing block connected to the outer pedal-bearing block. A pedal is articulated on the inner pedal-bearing block. An articulation point is provided on the inner pedal-bearing block for a transmission element to a device to be actuated by the pedal. The position of the pedal can be set in a simple way to an operating position optimized in ergonomic terms by providing that during adjustment, the pedal executes in relation to the inner pedal-bearing block a movement which is composed of a translational movement and of a rotational movement.

Abstract: An adjustable foot-operated control mechanism for motor vehicles is formed from at least one pedal having in each case a bearing arranged in a region of an end section of the pedal and having in each case a point of articulation onto a transmission element of a device to be actuated by the pedal. In this arrangement, the foot-operated control mechanism has at least one inner and one outer pedal bracket. The pedal is articulated on the inner pedal bracket and the inner pedal bracket is mounted on the outer pedal bracket. The inner pedal bracket is arranged displaceably with respect to the outer pedal bracket. When the inner pedal bracket is displaced, the pedal is rotated about a theoretical axis of rotation on the point of articulation.
