According to the shift lever return device of the present invention, when the shift lever is tilted to the left or right for a select operation, the large ball portion fitted and held by the retainer projects right and left on the center line in the select direction. The engaged locking pin pushes down the neutral position holding pin against the elastic force of the spring of the neutral position holding pin, so that the shift lever is tilted to perform the selecting operation. If the shift lever is tilted forward or backward for the shift operation following the select operation, the shift operation is completed. At the time of this shift operation, the frictional resistance is small because the locking pin comes into point contact with the neutral position holding pin. Also,
When the shift lever is returned to the neutral position, the shift lever in the shift operation position is tilted forward or backward to return to the original position, and the shift lever returns to the selected state in which it is tilted left or right. At this time, the locking pin of the large ball portion of the shift lever is pushed up by the neutral position holding pin whose spring is compressed, so that the shift lever tilts in the neutral direction around the large ball portion fitted and supported by the retainer. To return to the neutral position.

When the shift lever 3 is returned to the neutral position from the shift state of the transmission, the shift lever 3 in the shift position is tilted in one of the front and rear directions to move the shift lever 3 in the shift position forward or backward. When the shift lever 3 is returned to the original state by tilting, the shift lever 3 is returned from the shift state to the select state. At this time, the large ball portion 4 of the shift lever 3
The locking pin 5 is pushed up by the neutral position holding pin 6 projecting upward by the resilient force of the compressed spring 9, so that the shift lever 3 is moved around the large ball portion 4 fitted and held in the retainer 1. By tilting in the neutral direction, the shift lever 3 is raised and returned to the neutral state. In this neutral state, the neutral position holding pin 6 and the locking pin 5 face each other with a small gap, so that the spring pressure of the spring 9 fluctuates and the projection amount of the neutral position holding pin 6 fluctuates. Also, the shift lever 3 is securely held at the neutral position.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, locking pins are extended to the left and right on the center line in the select direction of the large ball portion of the shift lever, and the locking pins are biased by a spring. Since the neutral position is maintained by the position holding pin, the contact surface between the locking pin located on the center line of the large ball portion and the neutral position holding pin during the shift operation is small, and the sliding amount is small. It does not become heavy due to frictional resistance, and the shift feeling does not deteriorate due to finishing accuracy or long-term use. Therefore,
The present invention is extremely useful as a return device for a shift lever that solves the conventional problems.
