Abstract
Abstract Transmission control device having two orthogonal shafts to one of which a gear lever is connected. The two shafts are interconnected by a system including a tube integral with one of the shafts. The tube has oblong-shaped end portions which are orthogonal to each other and respectively guide two rollers respectively placed in an end position and in an intermediate position on a rod integral with the other shaft, whereby a longitudinal movement and a rotational movement of the shaft connected to the gear lever produce respectively a rotational movement and a longitudinal movement of the other shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A control device for a transmission comprising a first element, a gear lever operably connected to the first element for imparting thereto an angular movement and a sliding movement round and along a first axis, a second element, a connecting system interconnecting the two elements, the second element being slidably and angularly movable along and round a second axis in response to the movements of the first element, said connecting system comprising a male member and a female member, the male member being integral with one of the elements and the female member being integral with the other of the elements, one of the members having two oblong-shaped portions having major axes which are respectively parallel to said first axis and said second axis, each oblong-shaped portion defining two guide faces for the other of the members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A control device for a transmission comprising a first element, a gear lever operably connected to the first element for imparting thereto an angular movement and a sliding movement round and along a first axis, a second element, a connecting system interconnecting the two elements, the second element being slidably and angularly movable along and round a second axis in response to the movements of the first element, said connecting system comprising a male member and a female member, the male member being integral with one of the elements and the female member being integral with the other of the elements, one of the members having two oblong-shaped portions having major axes which are respectively parallel to said first axis and said second axis, each oblong-shaped portion defining two guide faces for the other of the members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two elements have orthogonal axes which are contained in different planes, the male member and female member having in a mean position thereof a common axis extending in the same direction as the common perpendicular to the axes of the two elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the female member is a tube having said two oblong-shaped portions, the male member being a rod carrying two pivotal elements, each pivotal element being guided in a corresponding one of said oblong-shaped portions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pivotal elements are rollers having a part-spherical outer face engaged with a slight clearance in the corresponding oblong-shaped guide portions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission has a casing and the first element is carried by two bearings outside the casing, the second element is guided in a bearing and extends into the casing, the connecting system being located outside the casing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the transmission has a casing and the tube is integral with the first element, the rod being integral with the second element and extending into said tube.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
A device as claimed in claim 6, wherein one of the oblong-shaped portions of the tube is adjacent the first element and elongated in a direction parallel to the axis of the second element, and the other oblong-shaped portion is adjacent the second element and elongated in a direction parallel to the axis of the first element.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
A device as claimed in claim 3, comprising means closing the tube at both ends.
