A frame has a pivot protruding therefrom. A first gear is rotatable relative to the frame. A cam is rotatable with the first gear. A second gear is between the pivot and the cam. The second gear is engaged with the cam for rotation. The second gear is to be rotated on the pivot, thus to be locked with the first gear. The pivot has smaller mechanical strength than the first gear and the second gear.

Reclining device

A structure of support leg member having a pair of reinforcing pieces formed laterally thereof, which is used with a seat slide device provided in an automotive seat, wherein an inclinable portion is defined in the upper securing portion of the support leg member on which a guide rail of the seat slide device is securely amounted. The inclinable portion allows the guide rail to be inclined by a great load applied thereto in excess of a tolerable amount, thereby protecting the seat slide device against damage. The inclinable portion, for instance, may comprise an upward protuberant bead formed in the upper securing portion so that a pair of spacings are defined between the guide rail and a base portion of that upper securing portion such as to allow inclination of the guide towards the center of the automotive seat. Alternatively, the inclinable portion may be embodied by bending one or both of the two reinforcing pieces outwardly to render the support leg member so less rigid as to be buckled slantwise by the foregoing great load, thereby allowing inclination of the guide rail towards the center of the automotive seat.

Shift apparatus

A gear select lever locking arrangement comprises a gear select lever with a position pin and a manual push button for moving the position pin into a predetermined notch of a position plate from a groove of the position plate after placing the gear select lever in a P (parking) position. When the position pin moves into the predetermined notch, a catch mechanism shifts from an open position to a catch position. In the catch position, a latch assumes a position to prevent the position pin from moving out of the predetermined notch. The catch mechanism is operatively connected to a blocking mechanism such that when the catch mechanism assumes the open position, the blocking mechanism assumes a blocking position wherein a key operated cylinder is blocked from rotating a predetermined position wherein a key is removable from the key operated cylinder. When the catch mechanism assumes the catch position, the blocking mechanism assumes an unblocking position wherein the key operated cylinder is allowed to rotate to the predetermined position. The catch mechanism includes a blocking mechanism control lever and a keeper.

Control device for automatic transmission

A mechanism is provided for controlling vehicle ignition lock and transmission shift lock in an interlocked relation to each other. The mechanism comprises a lock member movable into a lock position for blocking up a passage to a Park position of a position plate. An operating member drives the lock member into the lock position in response to upward movement of a position pin in the Park position. A stopper of an ignition lock is movable between a lock position for preventing rotation of a key rotor into a lock position and an unlock position for allowing the same. A cable interconnects the lock member and the stopper to allow them to move in unison such that movement of the lock member into the lock position causes the stopper to move into the unlock position and movement of the stopper into the lock position causes the lock member to move into the unlock position. A spring is installed in the ignition lock for urging the stopper toward the lock position.
