Abstract

A shift lever device has a shift lever that is moved and whose shift position is changed, and a detent plate that is displaced due to the shift lever being moved. The shift lever device has a first lock bar and a second lock bar that can move toward the detent plate side or a side opposite from the detent plate, and, due to the first lock bar and the second lock bar engaging with portions of the detent plate, a range over which the detent plate is displaced is restricted, and a range of movement of the shift lever is restricted. The shift lever device has a cam that has a single engaged-with portion with which the first lock bar and the second lock bar engage, and, due to the cam being displaced, the first lock bar and the second lock bar are moved.

Claims (15)

1. A shift device comprising:

a shift body that is moved to change a shift position;

a displaced portion that is displaced due to the shift body being moved;

a plurality of restricting bodies that are capable of moving toward a displaced portion side or a side opposite from the displaced portion, displacement of the displaced portion being restricted due to the restricting bodies engaging with a portion of the displaced portion, whereby movement of the shift body is restricted; and

a driving body that includes a single engaged-with portion with which the plurality of restricting bodies engage, the restricting bodies being moved due to the driving body being displaced,

wherein the driving body is rotatingly displaced, the engaged-with portion is provided along a rotation direction of the driving body at an outer peripheral portion of the driving body, and the plurality of restricting bodies are moved in a rotation axial direction of the driving body accompanying rotation of the driving body.

2. The shift device of claim 1 , wherein:

the displaced portion is rotatingly displaced due to the shift body being moved, and a rotation shaft of the driving body and a rotation shaft of the displaced portion are disposed parallel to one another.

3. The shift device of claim 2 , wherein the restricting bodies are configured to engage with an outer peripheral portion of the displaced portion at an outer side in a radial direction of rotation of the displaced portion.

4. The shift device of claim 1 , wherein the restricting bodies are configured to engage with an outer peripheral portion of the displaced portion at an outer side in a radial direction of rotation of the displaced portion.

5. A shift device comprising:

a shift body connected to a rotation shaft that is moved to change a shift position;

a displaced portion that is moved integrally with the rotation shaft due to the shift body being moved;

a plurality of restricting bodies that are capable of moving toward a displaced portion side or a side opposite from the displaced portion, displacement of the displaced portion being restricted due to the restricting bodies engaging with a portion of the displaced portion, whereby movement of the shift body is restricted; and

a driving body that has a rotation shaft different from the rotation shaft of the displaced portion and that includes a single engaged-with portion with which the plurality of restricting bodies engage, the restricting bodies being moved due to the driving body being displaced.
