| 2001 | Invention patented by Mikio Onodera on August 7th, 2001. Abstract: A by-wire shift lever device for a vehicle that is compact, lightweight, and has a desirable operability. The by-wire shift lever device includes a shift lever; a lock release switch provided in the shift lever; a position sensor for transmitting a position signal according to a direction and an amount of operation of the shift lever; and an actuator for applying an external force to the shift lever. When the shift lever at a predetermined position is operated in a certain direction without operating the lock release switch, the actuator is driven to apply an external force in a direction opposite to the direction of operation to the shift lever so as to prohibit the operation of the shift lever to other shift positions. |
