Abstract

See full text

A shift lock device for controlling transmission gear changes with an automatic transmission shift lever can include an elongate shaft and a twist-lock release mechanism. The elongate shaft can define at least a portion of an automatic transmission shift lever. The elongate shaft can be arcuately pivotable about a transverse axis with respect to a longitudinal axis of the elongate shaft for changing transmission gears. The twist lock-release mechanism can be pivotable about the longitudinally extending axis of the elongate shaft for releasing the shift lever from an arcuate pivotal position associated with at least one transmission-gear-select position. A biasing member can urge the twist lock release mechanism toward a locked position for releasibly retaining the shift lever in an arcuate pivotal position associated with at least one transmission-gear-select position. Rotation of the knob can move a shift-lever-lock member between a locked position and a released position.
