Abstract
Arrangement for manual resetting of the mutual positional setting of an upper lever element (6) and a lower lever element (8) connected articulatedly to the latter, which lever elements together form a two-part gear lever (2) supported articulatedly in a vehicle. The lower end of the upper lever element (6) has fastened in it a guide sleeve (18) which is supported for rotation on a supporting spindle mounted in a holder yoke (22) which is fastened in the upper end of the lower lever element (8) and which has sidewalls (24, 26) and a reference wall (28) which not only connects these sidewalls but also has a position fixing portion (30). Between the lever elements (6, 8) there is a locking mechanism (32) which normally prevents mutual movement of the lever elements (6, 8). The locking mechanism includes a setting sleeve (34) which is supported for rotation and longitudinal movement on the upper lever element (6) and which at the bottom firmly supports a setting crown (36) which has position fixing protrusions (38, 40, 42, 44) which are separated in the circumferential direction of the crown and are situated at different radial distances from the centreline (46) of the upper lever ele…
