93 Fall away transmission shift shaft switch profile US10323524 2002-12-18 US06683263B1 2004-01-27 Patrick L. Scheib; Kenneth T. Picone
A transmission gear position sensing assembly includes a transmission housing with a bore having a shift shaft disposed therein. The shift shaft has an axis about which the shaft translates as the transmission is shifted between gear positions. The housing includes a hole with a switch assembly received in the hole transverse to the shift shaft axis. The shift shaft includes a profile aligned with the switch assembly. The profile has first, second, and third surfaces respectively spaced radially from the axis a first, second and third distance. The third surface is arranged between the first and second surfaces. The third distance is larger than the first and the second distances, and the third surface corresponds to a neutral gear position. The switch assembly includes a member biased to engagement with the profile by a spring. The switch assembly senses the gear precision by the corresponding location along the profile. Since the third surface, which corresponds to the neutral position, is raised from the other surfaces the shift effort is reduced as the vehicle operator shifts from the neutral position to one of the other gear positions. In this manner, the switch assembly and switch shaft configuration does not adversely effect the shift effort or shift feel.

When mounted in the housing, the beams are deformed to eliminate clearances between the actuator (22) and the housing (20) in both the vertical and lateral directions resulting in an improved, vibration independent, electrical output signal of the switch assembly.

97 Magnetic sensor device for the detection of the position of a motor vehicle part US784424 1997-01-16 US5969519A 1999-10-19 Rainer Steiling; Stefan Garneyer; Kersten Rimke
An electrical signal transmitter intended for use in a motor vehicle is disclosed. The signal transmitter is provided with a magnetic sensor device for the detection of various positions of a movable vehicle part. To properly recognize a variety of positions, the movable part is connected with a correspondingly movable magnetic trigger member located on a holder. The trigger member has several magnetic tracks extending in the longitudinal direction of movement of the trigger member. Each magnetic track is provided with alternating N/S pole sections to provide a coding scheme. At least one magnetic field sensitive component is associated with each magnetic track to sense fields generated from the N/S pole sections. The at least one magnetic field sensitive component then generates a signal based on the sensed magnetic fields. The signal is indicative of the position of the magnetic trigger. The magnetic field sensitive components are operable with a switching arrangement which evaluates the signal to influence a device associated with the movable part.
