Abstract

The invention concerns a device for actuating a gearbox, in particular controllable by pulse control, the device comprising a housing and a lever mounted oscillating in the housing, and the lever being selectively activated via a knob movable along a first direction between two extreme transitory positions located on either side of a neutral position. The lever is slidably mounted relative to a housing along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and the lever selectively adopts an active position wherein it projects outside the housing, and an inactive position wherein it is retracted inside the housing.
