Gear shift bar at a wheel for a vehicle

Abstract

A gear shift pertaining to a hub of a wheel with a quick lock. The hub has a gear which is supported round a shaft with an outer end and an inner end. The inner end of the shaft is suspended via a suspension device on a vehicle. The quick lock includes a rod which runs in a cylindrical hole which is concentric within and with the shaft and a catch which locks the wheel with the shaft to the suspension device. The gear shift includes the shaft, the rod and a control, all so adapted that the rod has a neutral position relative to the shaft and wherein a movement, relative to the shaft, of the rod from the neutral position in a direction from the outer end of the shaft towards the inner end of the shaft disengages the catch so that the wheel together with the shaft can be locked to and released from the suspension device. The rod is further provided with a gear selector contact configured to contact a gear selector in the gear, and, by a movement, relative to the shaft, of the rod in an axial direction from the neutral position in a direction from the inner end of the shaft to the outer end of the shaft, acts via the gear selector contact to cause the gear selector in the gear to change gear position so that the gear ratio of the wheel relative to a drive device for the wheel is changed.
