Switching device for mechanically coupling the free transfer of shift commands to an automatic motor vehicle transmission

Switching means (1) for mechanically coupling the free transfer of shift commands to an automatic motor vehicle transmission (shift-by-wire) circuit, comprising at least: - a housing and / or a frame (6), - a selector lever (2) for manual selection of switching commands for the motor vehicle transmission in at least one shift gate, wherein the selector lever (2) by hand at least in 4 positions (P, R, N, D) for pivotally, at least a switching axis (15), is feasible - transfer devices (4, 5) for transmitting the switching commands with no mechanical coupling to the motor vehicle transmission, and - a parking lock in the P position, which locks at least one transmission output shaft, - a mechanical coupling (12) from the selector lever (2) for vehicle transmissions, so that this only and automatically with the filing of the selector lever (2) is activated in the P position, the parking brake and when pivoting the selector lever (2) on the adjacent position addition is automatically uncoupled from the selector lever, wherein the mechanical coupling (12) has a multi-joint connection (23) for the selector lever (2), thereby...
