ABSTRACT:
A shift-locking apparatus for a column AT shift lever includes a shift-locking box arranged at a side of a brake pedal, a key-interlocking cable having a first end engaged with an interlocking block of a key cylinder and a second end engaged with a slider housed in the shift-locking box, and a shift-locking cable having a first end engaged with a shift-locking pin of a shift lever assembly and a second end engaged with the slider housed in the shift-locking box. Spherical members are provided at the second end of the key-interlocking cable and the second end of the shift-locking cable, respectively, and the engagements between the slider and the key-interlocking cable and the slider and the shift-locking cable are achieved by rotatably contacting the spherical members with respective spherical bearing seats provided in the slider. The slider is housed in the shift-locking box so as to be rotatable therein with the spherical members acting as a fulcrum, and so as to also be horizontally movable within the shift-locking box in right and left directions. A first spring is provided side by side with the slider for forcibly pushing the slider toward the side of the brake pedal. A stopper is provided on the slider at a position such that teeth formed on the stopper are engaged with teeth provided on an inner wall surface of the shift-locking box when the slider is rotated. And a second spring, having an anti-compressive force smaller than that of the first spring, is housed in the shift lever assembly for forcibly pushing the shift-locking pin in a pulling direction of the shift-locking cable.
