Vehicle shift control level device

Abstract

A vehicle shift control lever device may be provided that includes: a transmission rod; a detent pin which is disposed under the transmission rod in such a manner as to move in up-and-down and back-and-forth directions; and a groove member which has a groove formed therein which guides the detent pin. The groove member includes a first stable position “a” at which the detent pin is placed when a shift position is R, D, M or N-shift positions and a second stable position “b” at which the detent pin is placed when the shift position is a P-shift position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vehicle shift control lever device comprising:
 a housing;   a transmission rod comprising a first catching surface; and   a first fixing part disposed within the housing,
 wherein the first fixing part is caught by the first catching surface. 
   
     
     
         2 . The vehicle shift control lever device of  claim 1 , wherein the first catching surface comprises a front catching surface which restricts the forward pivoting of the transmission rod upper portion of the transmission rod and a first rear catching surface which restricts the rearward pivoting of the transmission rod upper portion of the transmission rod. 
     
     
         3 . The vehicle shift control lever device of  claim 1 , wherein the first catching surface comprises a left catching surface which restricts the left direction pivoting of the transmission rod upper portion of the transmission rod. 
     
     
         4 . The vehicle shift control lever device of  claim 1 , further comprising a second fixing part disposed within the housing, wherein the transmission rod comprises a second catching surface, and wherein the second fixing part is caught by the second catching surface. 
     
     
         5 . The vehicle shift control lever device of  claim 4 , wherein the second catching surface restricts the right direction pivoting of the transmission rod upper portion of the transmission rod. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicle shift control lever device of  claim 1 , wherein the transmission rod further comprises a spindle bearing having a spindle bearing recess formed therein, wherein the first fixing part comprises a first fixing pin of which one end is inserted into the spindle bearing recess, a first moving member which is connected to the other end of the first fixing pin, and a driving member which moves the first moving member in up-and-down directions, and wherein the first catching surface is formed on the circumference of the spindle bearing recess. 
     
     
         7 . The vehicle shift control lever device of  claim 6 , wherein the first fixing part further comprises a hall sensor which detects the position of the first moving member. 
     
     
         8 . The vehicle shift control lever device of  claim 1 , further comprising a display which displays a current shift position.
