Title:
LEVER STYLE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER WITH CONCEALED LEVER POSITION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/009826
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A poly-stable electronic shifter assembly can include a poly-stable shift lever, a shift knob, a park, reverse, neutral and drive (PRND) indication area and a flexible member. The shift lever can be coupled to a base proximate a first end of the shift lever. The shift knob can be coupled to a second end of the shift lever. The PRND indication area can be associated with the shift knob. The flexible member can be positioned about the shift lever between the shift knob and the base such that the flexible member covers the shift lever and conceals a physical location of the shift lever when positioned in one of a PRND gear selection location. The PRND indication area can be disassociated with the PRND gear selection locations such that the PRND indication area includes an absence of alignment with the shift lever in the PRND gear selection locations.
