Title: David Blank - Innovator in Rotary Shifter Technology
Introduction
David Blank is a notable inventor based in Mullsjö, Sweden. He has made significant contributions to the automotive industry through his innovative designs. His work focuses on enhancing vehicle transmission systems, particularly in the area of gear shifting mechanisms.
Latest Patents
David Blank holds a patent for a rotary shifter assembly. This invention is designed for changing gears in a vehicle transmission. The rotary shifter assembly includes a shaft that is rotatably supported in a housing and is movable between radial positions to indicate a gear change. A shift knob is coupled to the first end of the shaft for user actuation. Additionally, a plurality of flexible locking fingers extend from the second end, and an overload wheel is disposed about the fingers. The fingers engage the wheel to couple it with the shaft for concurrent rotation. A locking mechanism engages the wheel to selectively prevent and allow concurrent rotation of the wheel and shaft during normal operation. The fingers move relative to the wheel to permit temporary rotation of the shaft when a force applied to the shaft exceeds a maximum torque threshold, automatically returning to concurrent rotation with the wheel once the force is below the threshold.
