Abstract

A structure of shift lever head for a car with which the modeling of the shift lever can be changed at one'"'"'s will; it comprises: a main body of the shift lever head; a lower decoration plate fixed on the top surface of the main body of the shift lever head; and an upper decoration plate fixed on the top surface of the lower decoration plate, after a locking hole of the lower decoration plate is locked onto the upper decoration plate by means of a locking element, another locking element is used to lock the lower decoration plate together with the main body of the shift lever head; thus the completed shift lever head for a car is formed, by changing the modeling of the lower and the upper decoration plates, the modeling of the shift lever can be changed at one'"'"'s will.

Claims

1. A structure of shift lever head for a car comprising:

a main body of said shift lever head having on its bottom a slipping connecting hole for slipping therein of a shift lever, and having on its top a hole and an engaging groove, said hole is extended downwards through said main body of said shift lever head to communicate with said slipping connecting hole;

a lower decoration plate provided on its top surface with a plurality of protrusions and a locking hole, its bottom surface is provided with a screw connecting portion and an engaging block in cooperation with said hole and said engaging groove;

an upper decoration plate provided with a plurality of positioning grooves to align and connect with said protrusions, and provided with a screw connecting portion to align with said locking hole, after said locking hole of said lower decoration plate is locked onto said screw connecting portion of said upper decoration plate by means of a locking element, said lower decoration plate and said main body of said shift lever head are locked together.

2. The structure of shift lever head for a car as claimed in claim 1, wherein said main body of said shift lever head is provided on its bottom end with an engaging collar surrounding said slipping connecting hole to connect with and fix an annular sleeve.

3. The structure of shift lever head for a car as claimed in claim 2, wherein said slipping connecting hole of said main body of said shift lever head is provided therein with a connecting member above said annular sleeve.

4. The structure of shift lever head for a car as claimed in claim 3, wherein said connecting member further is provided with an inner annular sleeve lining and an elastic element.

5. The structure of shift lever head for a car as claimed in claim 4, wherein a lower portion of said main body of said shift lever head and said inner annular sleeve lining of said connecting member are provided each with a radial fixing hole to align with each other, and a fixing element is extended through said radial fixing holes for fixing said shift lever head on said shift lever.

6. The structure of shift lever head for a car as claimed in claim 3, wherein said inner annular sleeve lining is locked on an automatic shift lever, said automatic shift lever is provided thereon with a gear-position link;

said inner annular sleeve lining and said slipping connecting hole movably cooperate with other and are limited by said annular sleeve to render said shift lever head to get a stroke for raising and lowering;

when said shift lever head is lowered by pressing, said shift lever head abuts said gear-position link to make said automatic shift lever release fixing of gear positions;

when said shift lever head under pressing is raised by restoration actions of said gear-position link and said elastic element, a gear position of said automatic shift lever thus is locked.
