Further, the above-described thrust projection 111 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the seat body 11 at a position close to the guide tube 13.

The driving device 20 is disposed on the other side of the seat body 11 and includes a mandrel 21 passing through the side wall of the seat body 11. The driving device 20 of the first embodiment of the present invention is a motor, and the spindle of the motor is driven to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise through a control unit (not shown), thereby controlling the rotation direction of the spindle 21 and angle.

The swing arm 30 is disposed inside the base 11 and is pivotally coupled to the spindle 21 of the driving device 20. A hooking rod 31 extends laterally from one end of the swing arm 30.

The connecting member 40 is a flexible and non-retractable elongated body that is disposed inside the guiding tube 13 and extends into the receiving space 110 of the base 11 at the inner end and the hook that is hung on the swing arm 30. On the rod 31, the outer end extends to a position close to the front end of the guide tube 13.

The latch 50 is disposed on the outer end of the connecting member 40, and has an inner diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the guiding tube 13, and is accommodated in the reaming of the proximal end of the guiding tube 13 in a forwardly movable manner. In the portion 130, when the outer end of the lock bolt 50 is pushed out of the guide tube 13, the shift lever of the automobile is stopped to prevent the shift lever from being actuated.

The sensing device 60 is disposed at the bottom of the accommodating space 110 of the base 11 and electrically connected to an external display (not shown). The sensing device 60 includes a locking sensor 61 and an unlocking sensor.

The hanging rod 31 is located through the mandrel 21 Below the horizontal line H (shown in FIG. 6), the contact sensor 62 is simultaneously contacted to cause the external display to assume an unlocked state. At this time, the connecting member 40 hung on the swing arm 30 is along the guiding tube 13 Pulling inwardly, the lock bolt 50 is pulled closer to the inside of the guide tube 13, thereby unlocking the shift lever to be actuated.

Further, referring to FIG. 7 , when the connecting member 40 is pulled forward and backward, the abutting protrusion 120 disposed on the cover 12 of the base 10 limits the position at which the connecting member 40 is hooked on the hooking rod 31. This prevents the connecting member 40 from being displaced toward the cover 12 during the movement, thereby causing the connecting member 40 to accidentally touch the sensing device 60, while ensuring that the locking sensor 61 or the unlocking sensor 62 is transmitted through the swing arm. The hooking lever 31 of 30 is touched.

Referring to FIG. 8, the second embodiment of the present hidden shift lever lock has the same structure as that of the first embodiment, but the driving device 20A adopts different manners, and the present embodiment does not have a sensing device.

The driving device 20A of the embodiment is a manual lock mounted on the other side of the base body 11, and the manual lock includes a spindle 21A passing through the side wall of the base body 11.
