  When the lever 14 is turned from the “H” position to the “B” position, the restriction arm 18 is turned to the rear side on the left side of the restriction plate 32 (see FIG. 2A).

  When the lever 14 is rotated between the “H” position and the “N” position, the restriction arm 18 is turned in the left-right direction on the front side of the restriction plate 32 (FIG. 2B). reference). Further, when the lever 14 is rotated from the center between the “H” position and the “N” position to the rear side, the rearward movement of the restriction arm 18 is restricted by the restriction plate 32. , The turning operation of the lever 14 from the center to the rear side between the “H” position and the “N” position is restricted. Further, when the lever 14 is disposed at the “N” position, the restriction arm 18 is disposed on the front side and the right side of the restriction plate 32.

  When the lever 14 is turned from the “N” position to the “D” position, the restriction arm 18 is turned to the rear side on the right side of the restriction plate 32 (see FIG. 2C).

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  In the shift device 10 configured as described above, when the lever 14 is rotated from the “H” position to the “B” position, the first piece 24 is attached to the first coil spring 28 by the lever 14 in the gate plate 20. By moving the first shift hole 22 </ b> A to the rear side against the force, the first piece 24 is allowed to rotate the lever 14 to the rear side, and the lever 14 is rotated to the right side. Is regulated by the second piece 26.

  In addition, when the lever 14 is rotated from the “N” position to the “D” position, the second piece 26 resists the biasing force of the second coil spring 30 by the lever 14 in the gate plate 20. By moving the 2 shift hole 22B to the rear side, the second piece 26 is allowed to rotate the lever 14 to the rear side, and the first piece 24 is used to rotate the lever 14 to the left side. Be regulated.

  Furthermore, when the lever 14 is rotated from the center between the “H” position and the “N” position to the rear side, the pivoting of the lever 14 to the rear side of the regulating arm 18 causes the regulating plate of the gate plate 20 to rotate. By restricting by 32, the rotation operation of the lever 14 from the center to the rear side between the “H” position and the “N” position is restricted.

  Here, the restriction plate 32 is disposed on the right side of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 and is provided on the outer side between the first piece 24 and the second piece 26. For this reason, unlike the case where the restriction plate 32 is provided between the first piece 24 and the second piece 26, the distance between the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 in the left-right direction (the first shift hole 22A and the second piece 26). The distance between the shift hole 22B in the left-right direction) can be reduced (particularly 0), and the rotation stroke of the lever 14 in the left-right direction can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the lever 14 needs to be rotated by a specified angle in the left-right direction between the “H” position and the “N” position, the lever 14 can be rotated in the left-right direction as described above. The vertical distance between the rotation center of the lever 14 (the center of the spherical shaft 14A) and the first shift hole 22A and the second shift hole 22B can be reduced. Therefore, the vertical dimension of the lever 14 can be reduced, the shift device 10 can be downsized in the vertical direction, the space below the shift device 10 in the vehicle can be increased, and the wiring harness of the vehicle in the space can be arranged. Etc. can be improved.

A first restriction hole 52A as a first restriction path is formed in the left part of the restriction cylinder 52, and a second restriction hole 52B as a second restriction path is formed in the right part of the restriction cylinder 52. The first restriction hole 52A and the second restriction hole 52B extend in the front-rear direction and communicate with each other in the left-right direction.

  The first piece 24 is provided in the first restriction hole 52A in the restriction cylinder 52 in place of the first shift hole 22A of the gate plate 20, and the first piece 24 has the first restriction hole 52A in the front-rear direction. It is movable within a predetermined range. The second piece 26 is provided in the second restriction hole 52B in the restriction cylinder 52 in place of the second shift hole 22B of the gate plate 20, and the second piece 26 has the second restriction hole 52B in the front-rear direction. It is movable within a predetermined range (the same range as the first piece 24). The first piece 24 and the second piece 26 are in contact with each other in the left-right direction (surface contact), and the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 are fitted in the regulation cylinder 52 in the left-right direction. Yes. For this reason, the left and right side movements of the first piece 24 are restricted by the left wall of the restriction cylinder 52 (the left surface of the first restriction hole 52A) and the second piece 26, respectively. The movement is restricted by the first piece 24 and the right wall of the restriction cylinder 52 (the right surface of the second restriction hole 52B).

  The first coil spring 28 is provided in the first restriction hole 52A in the restriction cylinder 52 on the front side of the first piece 24 in place of the first shift hole 22A of the gate plate 20, and the first coil spring 28 is the first coil spring 28. The one piece 24 is urged to the rear side, and the movement of the first piece 24 to the rear side is restricted. The second coil spring 30 is provided in the second restriction hole 52B in the restriction cylinder 52 on the front side of the second piece 26 in place of the second shift hole 22B of the gate plate 20, and the second coil spring 30 is the second coil spring 30. The two pieces 26 are urged to the rear side, and the movement of the second pieces 26 to the rear side is restricted. The front-rear direction positions of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 are matched, and the rear surface of the first piece 24 and the rear surface of the second piece 26 are flush with each other.

  The lever 14 is rotated to the left from the “H” position and is disposed at the “N” position.

  A columnar extending arm 54 as an extending portion is integrally provided at the lower end of the lever 14, and the extending arm 54 extends rightward. The extending arm 54 is integrally provided with a plate-like moving arm 56 as a moving portion. The moving arm 56 extends downward and is arranged vertically in the left-right direction. The extending arm 54 and the moving arm 56 are pivotable integrally with the lever 14, and the lever 14 is pivoted to the front side and the rear side so that the movable arm 56 is pivoted to the rear side and the front side, respectively. The lever 14 is rotated to the left and right, and the moving arm 56 is rotated to the right and left, respectively. The moving arm 56 is inserted into the restricting cylinder 52, the moving arm 56 is disposed on the rear side of the first piece 24 in the first restricting hole 52 </ b> A in the restricting cylinder 52, and the lever 14 is in the “H” position. Has been placed.

  When the lever 14 is turned from the “H” position to the “B” position and the moving arm 56 is turned forward, the moving arm 56 causes the first piece 24 to be biased by the first coil spring 28. The first restriction hole 52A is moved to the front side against this. For this reason, the first arm 24 allows the moving arm 56 to rotate to the front side, allows the lever 14 to rotate to the rear side, and rotates the moving arm 56 to the right. The movement of the lever 14 to the left is restricted by the piece 26. Further, when the lever 14 is arranged at the “B” position, the movement of the first piece 24 to the front side is restricted, so that the rotation of the moving arm 56 to the front side is restricted by the first piece 24. Thus, the turning operation to the rear side of the lever 14 is restricted.

  When the lever 14 is rotated between the “H” position and the “N” position, the moving arm 56 is passed through the rear side of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26, thereby moving the moving arm 56. 56 is allowed to rotate in the left-right direction between the first restriction hole 52A and the second restriction hole 52B, so that the lever 14 moves in the left-right direction between the first shift hole 22A and the second shift hole 22B. Rotating operation is allowed.

  When the lever 14 is rotated from the “N” position to the “D” position and the moving arm 56 is rotated to the front side, the second arm 26 is biased by the second coil spring 30 by the moving arm 56. The second restriction hole 52B is moved to the front side against this. Therefore, the second arm 26 is allowed to turn the moving arm 56 to the front side, and the lever 14 is allowed to turn to the rear side, and the turning of the moving arm 56 to the left side is the first. The movement of the lever 14 to the right is restricted by the piece 24. Further, when the lever 14 is disposed at the “D” position, the movement of the second piece 26 to the front side is restricted, so that the rotation of the moving arm 56 to the front side is restricted by the second piece 26. Thus, the turning operation to the rear side of the lever 14 is restricted.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the regulation plate 32 of the gate plate 20 is disposed on the upper side and the rear side of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26, and is outside between the first piece 24 and the second piece 26. Is provided. For this reason, also in this embodiment, there can exist an effect | action and effect similar to the said 1st Embodiment.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 4A shows a perspective view of a shift device 60 according to the third embodiment of the present invention as seen obliquely from the left front, and FIG. 4B shows the shift device 60 from above. It is shown in a plan view.

  The shift device 60 according to the present embodiment has substantially the same configuration as that of the second embodiment, but differs in the following points.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, in the shift device 60 according to the present embodiment, a torsion spring 62 as an urging member is provided instead of the first coil spring 28 and the second coil spring 30. ing. A central portion (spiral portion) of the torsion spring 62 is rotatably supported by the lower portion of the plate 12, and one end portion of the torsion spring 62 is locked to the lower portion of the plate 12. The other end of the torsion spring 62 is in contact with the front surfaces of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26, and the torsion spring 62 has the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 at the rear side at the other end. Energized.

  An inclined surface 64 (see FIG. 6) as a restricting means is formed on the lower surface of the regulation cylinder 52 of the plate 12 on the front side of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26, and the inclined surface 64 faces the front side. It is inclined in the direction toward the upper side as it goes. For this reason, the frictional resistance of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 when the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 are moved forward is increased by the inclined surface 64.

  By the way, when the lever 14 is rotated from the “H” position to the “B” position and the moving arm 56 is rotated to the front side, the first arm 24 is biased by the torsion spring 62 by the moving arm 56. The first restricting hole 52A is moved to the front side against the above (see (C) and (D) of FIG. 4). For this reason, the first arm 24 allows the moving arm 56 to rotate to the front side, allows the lever 14 to rotate to the rear side, and rotates the moving arm 56 to the right. The movement of the lever 14 to the left is restricted by the piece 26. Further, when the lever 14 is arranged at the “B” position, the movement of the first piece 24 to the front side is restricted, so that the rotation of the moving arm 56 to the front side is restricted by the first piece 24. Thus, the turning operation to the rear side of the lever 14 is restricted.

  When the lever 14 is rotated between the “H” position and the “N” position, the moving arm 56 is passed through the rear side of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26, thereby moving the moving arm 56. 56 is allowed to rotate in the left-right direction between the first restriction hole 52A and the second restriction hole 52B, so that the lever 14 moves in the left-right direction between the first shift hole 22A and the second shift hole 22B. A rotation operation is allowed (see FIGS. 5A and 5B).

  When the lever 14 is rotated from the “N” position to the “D” position and the moving arm 56 is rotated forward, the second arm 26 resists the urging force of the torsion spring 62 by the moving arm 56. Then, the second restriction hole 52B is moved to the front side (see (C) and (D) of FIG. 5). Therefore, the second arm 26 is allowed to turn the moving arm 56 to the front side, and the lever 14 is allowed to turn to the rear side, and the turning of the moving arm 56 to the left side is the first. The movement of the lever 14 to the right is restricted by the piece 24. Further, when the lever 14 is disposed at the “D” position, the movement of the second piece 26 to the front side is restricted, so that the rotation of the moving arm 56 to the front side is restricted by the second piece 26. Thus, the turning operation to the rear side of the lever 14 is restricted.

  Here, also in this embodiment, the same operation and effect as in the second embodiment can be obtained.

  Further, the torsion spring 62 applies a biasing force to both the first piece 24 and the second piece 26. Therefore, unlike the case where the first coil spring 28 applies a biasing force to the first piece 24 and the second coil spring 30 applies a biasing force to the second piece 26, the configuration can be simplified.

  Further, since the horizontal dimension of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 can be made smaller than the radial dimension of the first coil spring 28 and the second coil spring 30, respectively, the first restriction hole 52A in the restriction cylinder 52 and The left-right direction dimension of the 2nd control hole 52B can be made small, and the rotation stroke to the left-right direction of the movement arm 56 can be made small effectively.

  Further, since the lever 14 (including the moving arm 56) needs to be rotated by a specified angle in the left-right direction between the “H” position and the “N” position, the moving arm 56 is moved in the left-right direction as described above. Since the rotation stroke can be effectively reduced, the vertical distance between the rotation center of the lever 14 (the center of the spherical axis 14A) and the first restriction hole 52A and the second restriction hole 52B can be effectively reduced. For this reason, the vertical dimension of the lever 14 can be further reduced, and the shift device 10 can be further downsized in the vertical direction.

  In addition, the inclined surface 64 in the restriction cylinder 52 increases the frictional resistance of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 when the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 are moved forward. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (C) and (D), one of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 is moved to the front side, and the other of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 is moved to the other side. Even when the urging force to the rear side by the torsion spring 62 is not applied, the inclined surface 64 restricts the other of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 to be moved to the front side due to vehicle vibration or the like. Thereby, it can suppress that the 1st piece 24 and the 2nd piece 26 are moved to the front side unnecessarily.

  In the present embodiment, the inclined surface 64 increases the frictional resistance of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 when the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 are moved to the front side. However, even if the friction resistance of the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 when the first piece 24 and the second piece 26 are moved forward is increased by, for example, a high-viscosity lubricant (grease) as a limiting means. Good.

  Furthermore, in the said 1st Embodiment-3rd Embodiment, while setting the front-back direction as the 1st direction, the left-right direction was made into the 2nd direction. However, the left-right direction may be the first direction and the front-rear direction may be the second direction.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment-3rd Embodiment, the shift apparatus 10, 50, 60 was made into the floor type thing, and was installed in the floor part of the compartment. However, the shift devices 10, 50, and 60 may be installed on an instrument panel or a steering column in the passenger compartment.
