Abstract
A shifting device for a gearbox which has at least one sliding sleeve that is placed on a transmission shaft in a rotationally fixed and axially movable manner. One idler gear, which is rotationally supported on the transmission shaft, is located at on one side adjacent the sleeve. The sliding sleeve can be axially moved, by an actuating element, from a neutral position into a shifting position toward the idler gear, and upon reaching the shifting position, couples the idler gear with the transmission shaft. The associated actuating elements are arranged in a stationary manner and, upon actuation, engage with at least one shifting groove, provided on an outside diameter of the at least one sliding sleeve and has a curve-shaped path, in the axial direction, so that rotation of the transmission shaft axially shifts the sliding sleeve according to the further path of the shifting groove.

13. A shifting device for a gearbox, having at least one sliding sleeve (1), which is placed on a transmission shaft (3) in a rotationally fixed and axially movable manner, and adjacent to which is placed one idler gear (4) each on at least one side, which is disposed in a freely rotatable manner on the transmission shaft (3),
the at least one sliding sleeve (1) being axially movable, by actuation of associated actuating means, from a neutral position into a shifting position toward the one idler gear (4) and, upon reaching the shifting position, causing coupling of the one idler gear (4) to the transmission shaft (3), the associated actuating means being arranged in a stationary manner and, upon actuation, engaging in at least one shifting groove (7, 8) which is provided on an outer diameter of the at least one sliding sleeve (1) and has a curve-shaped path, in an axial direction, such that upon rotation of the transmission shaft (3), the at least one sliding sleeve (1) being axially shiftable according to the path of the at least one shifting groove (7;

24. A gearbox of a motor vehicle in combination with a shifting device having at least one sliding sleeve (1) being placed on a transmission shaft (3) in a rotationally fixed and axially movable manner, and adjacent to which is placed one idler gear (4) each on at least one side, which is disposed in a freely rotatable manner on the transmission shaft (3), the at least one sliding sleeve (1) being axially movable, by actuation of associated actuating means, from a neutral position into a shifting position toward the one idler gear (4) and, upon reaching the shifting position, causing a coupling of the one idler gear (4) to the transmission shaft (3),
the associated actuating means being arranged in a stationary manner and, upon actuation, engaging in at least one shifting groove (7, 8) provided on an outer diameter of the at least one sliding sleeve (1) and having a curve-shaped path in an axial direction, such that upon rotation of the transmission shaft (3), the at least one sliding sleeve (1) being axially shiftable according to the path of the at least one shifting groove (7; - 8).
