In Fig. 1 ist mit 10 das Ende des Schaltstocks bezeichnet, auf dem ein Kontaktträger 11 befestigt ist. Dieser Kontaktträger setzt sich aus drei Teilen zusammen, nämlich aus zwei aneinandergrenzenden Hülsen 111, 113 unterschiedlicher Durchmesser und einer diese Hülsen miteinander verbindenden Scheibe 112. Der Kontaktträger 11 ist einstückig ausgebildet und trägt auf seiner Scheibe 112 K' ntakte, die auf einer Kreisbahn um die Lenkstockachse verteilt sind und von denen zwei Kontakte 12, 13 in Fig. 1 zn sehen sind. Am Ende der Hülse 113 befindet sich eine Schaltkurve (s. Fig. 4), das heißt, die Stirnfläche der Hülse 113 ist gemäß einer Schaltkurve gewölbt.In Fig. 1, 10 denotes the end of the switch stick on which a contact carrier 11 is attached is. This contact carrier is composed of three parts, namely two adjoining parts Sleeves 111, 113 of different diameters and a disk connecting these sleeves to one another 112. The contact carrier 11 is formed in one piece and carries on its disk 112 K 'ntakte, which a circular path are distributed around the steering column axis and of which two contacts 12, 13 in Fig. 1 zn are seen. At the end of the sleeve 113 there is a switching curve (see FIG. 4), that is, the end face the sleeve 113 is curved according to a switching curve.
Durch den Schaltstock 10 ist eine Schaltstange 14 geführt, auf der an ihrem Austritt am Schaltstock ein Mitnehmer 15 gelagert ist. Dieser Mitnehmer besteht aus einer Hülse 151 und einem am Ende dieser Hülse befindlichen scheibenförmigen Teil 151 mit zwei Führungsarmen 153 (F i g. 2) und ist einstückig ausgebildet. Dci Mitnehmer 15 weist auf beiden Seiten seines scheibenförmigen Teils 152 jeweils eine Kreisnut 154, 155 auf. In der KreisnutA shift rod 14 is guided through the shift stick 10 on which it exits the shift stick a driver 15 is mounted. This driver consists of a sleeve 151 and one at the end Disc-shaped part 151 located in this sleeve with two guide arms 153 (Fig. 2) and is formed in one piece. Dci driver 15 has both sides of its disk-shaped part 152 each have a circular groove 154, 155. In the circular groove

Der Mitnehmer 15 nimmt seinerseits die Schaltbrucke 19 mit und gleitet axial aufThe switch handle 17 is rotated. During this rotary movement, the driver 15 is driven by the ribs 172 taken away. The driver 15 in turn takes the shift bridge 19 with it and slides axially

During this rotation, the switching bridge 1Γ 1 is also lifted.

Bevor jedoch der Mitnehmer 15 diese Stellung erreicht hat, wird die Schaltbrücke 19 wieder auf die elektrischen Kontakte des Kontaktträgers 11 gehoben.will. After reaching the highest point, the driver 15 slides into the desired locking position. However, before the driver 15 has reached this position, the switching bridge 19 is again on the electrical contacts of the contact carrier 11 raised.
Dadurch wird eine kontaktreinigende Schleifbewegung erreicht. Die Schraubenfeder 16 bestimmt die Ein- und Ausschaltkraft und muß gleichzeitig die Kraft der Schraubenfeder 18 überwinden.This achieves a contact-cleaning grinding movement. The coil spring 16 determines the Switch-on and switch-off force and must overcome the force of the helical spring 18 at the same time.
