Device for removable securing of an actuating member to an input or output element

Abstract

A device ( 1 ) for removably securing an actuating member to an input or output element, such as to a gear shift lever or a transmission of a motor vehicle, has a mounting point ( 10 ) for securing the actuating member, and a receptacle ( 20 ) for securing a mounting element of the input or output element. The receptacle ( 20 ) has a substantially eyelet-like outer receptacle element ( 30 ) and an inner receptacle element ( 40 ) arranged therein, between which is an elastic damping element ( 50 ). To reduce undesired vibrations from the transmission or the actuating member to the interior of the vehicle, while securing the actuating member to the mounting device in a simpler manner, the dampening element is a separate component which has a wave profile ( 52 ) on its wall ( 51 ) facing the outer or inner receptacle element ( 30 ), and the mounting point ( 10 ) has a threaded insert ( 11 ) for securing the actuating member.
