Abstract
A parking lock device that is installed in a transmission of a vehicle includes a gear, a lock, a receiver, a cam, and a damper. The lock has a pawl that can be engaged in a tooth space between the teeth of the gear. The lock moves between an engagement position at which the pawl is engaged in the tooth space to lock the gear and a retreat position at which the pawl is not engaged in the tooth space. The receiver is arranged to be fixed to a case of the transmission. The cam moves forward and backward with respect to a gap between the receiver and the lock. The cam holds the lock at the engagement position when having entered the gap. The damper is provided in a vibration transmission path to dampen vibrations transmitted to the case of the transmission.
