  • Patent number: 9212738
    Abstract: A structure prevents a gear shift lever from moving during a rear-end collision, and may include: a case mounted on the gear shift lever having a sliding groove; a lever having one end coupled to the case rotatable below the groove; a ball seated on the lever; a spring coupled to the lever so that elastic force is applied to raise the lever; a protruding portion mounted separate from the gear shift lever and positioned below another end of the lever, in which when the lever is rotated downward, an end of the lever is locked by the protruding portion blocking movement of the gear shift lever. When a rear-end collision occurs, the ball slides due to inertia rotating the lever downward to physically block the lever, thereby preventing a secondary accident by preventing the gear shift lever placed at an R-stage from unintentionally moving.

  • Patent number: 9086128
    Abstract: A structure of a shift lever that changes to a manual mode. The structure includes a shift lever that has a protrusion formed to a horizontal side and a base spaced from the shift lever to allow the protrusion to reach the base during horizontal movement of the shift lever. A G-return to which the protrusion is coupled is mounted on the base to be able to turn and a knob that is connected to one end of a knob lever pivotably mounted on the base with the other end of the knob lever facing the shift lever, slides with the horizontal movement of the shift lever. The conversion to a manual mode is sensed from the sliding of the knob and change to the manual mode is controlled by turning of the G-return.

  • Publication number: 20140216196
    Abstract: A non-contact shift lock apparatus that includes a coil and a plunger in a housing. More specifically, the plunger moves downward in the housing when power is supplied to the coil. A shift lever locks when the plunger moves downward and unlocks when the plunger moves upward. Further, when power is supplied to the coil, the plunger is magnetized by a magnetic field and a magnetic force focus is formed at the plunger where a magnetic force is concentrated. The plunger is moved downward by magnetic force balance between a center of the magnetic field generated by the coil and the magnetic force focus, so that the position where the plunger moves downward to is determined by the position where the magnetic force focus is formed.
