  • Patent number: 9115801
    Abstract: A stable operation performance of a shift operation apparatus is ensured by allowing the shift lever to be stably recognized using a specific shift stage even in the case where the shift lever has stopped ambiguously between the two neighboring shift stages, and to exactly recognize by judging more exactly which one of the other shift stages, such as + stage and N stage, has been selected even in the case where sensor errors of a sensor for sensing whether the M stage or a manual mode has been selected occur.

  • Publication number: 20150167828
    Abstract: A shift lever apparatus for a vehicle may include a shift lever that may be pivotable in a front-rear direction for selecting P-, R-, N-, and D-ranges and in a left-right direction for selecting an M-range, a lever bracket to which the shift lever may be pivotably coupled at a predetermined position of the lever bracket, a sliding block slidably coupled to the lever bracket and slidable straight on the lever bracket, wherein the sliding block includes a cable connection portion integrally formed thereto to be connected with a cable, and a displacement conversion mechanism that converts a front-rear pivot displacement of the shift lever into a straight sliding displacement of the sliding block.

  • Publication number: 20150135879
    Abstract: A structure for mounting a plantable shift lever onto a bracket may include an extending part that protrudes from a front end of the plantable shift lever to extend forward, a dented part formed by denting a front end of the bracket forward to receive the extending part, a first penetrating hole formed to penetrate a rear end of the plantable shift lever in a left and right direction, a second penetrating hole formed to penetrate a rear end of the bracket in the left and right direction and positioned to correspond to the first penetrating hole, and a pin to be inserted into the first penetrating hole and the second penetrating hole to fix the plantable shift lever to the bracket. The plantable shift lever may be coupled to the bracket by inserting the extending part into the dented part and inserting the pin into the first penetrating hole and the second penetrating hole.

  • Publication number: 20150101437
    Abstract: A shift lever assembly for an automatic transmission vehicle may include a shift lever installed rotatably front/rearward and left/rightward with respect to a shift lever housing through a ball joint, a cable bracket disposed on a front of the shift lever and connected to the shift lever housing to be moved front/rearward with respect to the shift lever housing, and a cable connection protrusion is provided on a tip end of the cable bracket to connect with a shift cable, and an engaging lever disposed on the front of the shift lever for connecting the shift lever and the cable bracket. The shift lever assembly can have a reduced size and prevent formation the shaking angle of the shift cable, and accordingly, improve the power transmission efficiency and a transmission efficiency of the shift cable.
