Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shift lever of a transmission used in a vehicle such as an automobile.

Conventionally, as a shift lever for a transmission, for example, as shown in FIG.
A type in which A is arranged substantially directly above the rotation axis 1B of the lever 1 (referred to as model A), as shown in B, the lever 1 in the form of a straight bar is tilted diagonally backward at the center of rotation shown in the figure. A model in which the knob 1A on the head of the lever 1 is arranged behind the rotation axis 1B of the lever 1 (model B), the lever 1 as shown in C
Bend it in a dogleg shape and move the knob 1A on the head of the lever 1 to the rotation axis 1B of the lever 1 at the center of rotation shown in the figure.
The model placed further back than the (Model C)
is provided. However, in the model A, the floor 2 penetration position 1C of the lever 1 is directly below the knob 1A, so the lever 1 gets in the way when passing around the lever 1, and in the models B and C, the floor 2 penetration position 1C of the lever 1 is located directly below the knob 1A. Since the penetration position 1C can be positioned closer to the front of the vehicle body, the lever 1 will not get in the way when passing through, but the movement of the lever 1 when rotated back and forth as shown by the arrows from the center of rotation shown in the figure. The vertical component h of becomes large, making it difficult to operate the lever, and the inertial mass of the lever 1 in the vertical direction increases, making it easier for the gear to slip out due to vibrations when driving on rough roads.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above conventional drawbacks and provide a shift lever for a vehicle transmission that does not get in the way of passing through and is easy to operate.The shift lever is located at the center of rotation. In this state, the main idea is to penetrate the floor from the front of the vehicle body than the rotating shaft located under the floor, and to arrange the head almost directly above the rotating shaft behind the floor penetrating position.

Due to the above outline, the shift lever of the present invention allows the floor penetration position to be located closer to the front of the vehicle body, so the lever does not get in the way when passing from the driver's seat to the passenger seat, and the lever head is not the center of rotation. Since it is located directly above the rotating shaft located under the floor, the vertical component of the lever's movement is small, making it easier to operate the lever, and because the influence of the inertial mass of the lever is small, the lever does not swing due to vibrations from the engine, etc. It also reliably prevents gear slippage due to vibrations and shocks when driving on rough roads.

To explain the present invention with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a lever 1 is bent into a dogleg shape, has a knob 1A attached to its head, and has a rotating shaft 1B at its lower part. It is connected to the connecting rod 3 at the lower end 1D. When lever 1 is located at the center of rotation, lever 1
The floor penetrating position 1C is located further forward of the vehicle body than the rotating shaft 1B located under the floor, and the knob 1 on the head of the lever 1
A is located behind the floor penetrating position 1C of the lever 1. As a result, the floor-penetrating position 1C of the lever 1 is placed closer to the front of the vehicle so that it does not get in the way of passing through, while the knob 1A on the head of the lever 1 is placed closer to the front of the vehicle body.
A position that is no further than directly above B, that is, knob 1
To prevent the vertical component from becoming too large when the movement of the knob 1A draws an arc a with the line segment l as a radius by preventing the line segment l connecting A and the rotating shaft 1B from being tilted too much more than perpendicular. This is possible.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG. In the case of this embodiment, the knob 1A is located at the rear of the vehicle body from the floor penetration position 1C.
Instead of bending the lever 1 in order to dispose the lever 1 and the rotating shaft 1B, the lever 1 is continuously fed to the rotating shaft 1B via an auxiliary lever 1'. In this embodiment as well, the floor penetrating position 1C of the lever 1 can be moved closer to the front of the vehicle body, and the line segment 1 connecting the knob 1A and the rotating shaft 1B can be prevented from being tilted much more than vertically.
