Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mechanism for actuating a transmission having shifting elements. A self-holding valve device is movable into a first position, by a pilot pressure, against a force directed to a second position and held by a pressure holding signal in the first position. Transmission of a pressure signal, to a switching valve, is blocked by the self-holding valve device in the first position but, in the second position, is applied to the switching valve. When the driver sets the switching valve to a first shift position, the pressure signal can be applied to valve devices of at least two of the shifting elements that produce an actuating pressure and, in a second shift position of the switching valve, the onward transmission of the pressure signal, to the valve devices of the shifting elements that produce an actuating pressure, is blocked in the area of the switching valve.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed: 1. A mechanism ( 4 ) for actuating a transmission device ( 1 ) during a normal operation and during an emergency operation after failure of an electric transmission control system, the mechanism comprising: a plurality of electro-hydraulically actuated shifting elements (A to F) which, to obtain a gear (“ 1 ” to “ 9 ”, “R”) in the transmission device ( 1 ), being either engagable in a force flow or disengagable therefrom by applying at least one of a plurali…
