Definitions

  • the two forks are of the type sliding on a fixed rod and consist of pressed and bent sheet-metal elements so as to form notably, in addition to the fork-shaped side controlling the sliding gear corresponding to each of them and when observing said forks in plane view, two opposed and interengaging U portions slidably mounted by their outer arms on said fixed rod, the inner arms of these U portions being formed with corresponding pressed registering detent-positioning notches adapted to co-act with a single locking and safety device carried by the same rod.
  • Figure 1 shows in elevational view taken in a direction at right angles to the guide rod two forks mounted thereon;
  • Figure 2 is a plane view from above showing the arrangement of Fig. 1, and
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken upon the line III-III of Fig. 1.
  • the reference numerals 1 and 2 designate two forks of pressed and bent sheet metal which are mounted according to this invention on a fixed rod 3.
  • these two forks constitute two opposed interengaging U portions mounted for sliding movement on the rod 3 by means of the outer arms partially surrounding this rod and designated by the reference numerals 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the central or inner arms of these U portions are each formed with three registering pressed detent-positioning notches 6 adapted to co-act with a single locking and safety device 7 carried by the rod.
  • Each fork is formed with an opposite gear-engaging forked portion 8, 9 adapted to co-act with the corresponding sliding gear or like member of the gearbox.
  • These gear-engaging forks are conveniently co-extensive with one arm of the U, the proper disposition being subordinate, as a matter of fact, to the position of the sliding gears or like members in the gearbox.
  • central or inner arms of the aforesaid interengaging U-shaped portions are formed at their top with notched and bent registering extensions providing together an aperture 10 adapted to receive the driving end of a fork-actuating control lever (not shown).
  • the locking and safety device 7 consists simply of a pair of opposite springloaded bolts 11 slidably mounted in a guide sleeve 12 fitted in a transverse bore of the rod 3, these bolts being urged against the detent positioning notches 6 by a common central compression spring 13.
  • the forks are also maintained in their proper relative positions about the rod 3 by the engagement of their fork-shaped portions 8 with the relevant sliding gear or like member.
  • a gearbox fork arrangement for controlling two sliding gears comprising a stationary rod, a pair of forks mounted to slide axially on the rod and having gear engaging projecting portions, said forks being formed from pressed and bent sheet metal and including opposed interengaging U-shaped portions, each portion having outer arms slidably mounted on the rod and inner arms having inner opposing faces formed with corresponding pressed, registering detent-positioning notches and a single locking and safety device carried by the rod with which the notches coact.
  • a gearbox fork arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said locking and safety device consists of a pair of opposed spring-loaded bolts slidably mounted in said rod and extending radially therefrom and urged for engagement with the detent-positioning notches by a common spring interposed between said bolts, the axial dimensions of said bolts being such that their combined length exceeds that affording the simultaneous clearing by these bolts of the opposite ridges that separate the adjacent detent-positioning notches.
