The present subject matter described herein, relates to a mounting bracket. More particularly, the present subject matter described herein relates to a transmission cable mounting bracket to be mounted on a transmission unit of a vehicle. The transmission cable mounting bracket facilitates transmission of the movement of gear shift control to the transmission unit of the vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Transmission unit is a speed changing equipment installed in the automobiles. Transmission unit permits the engine to operate at a higher speed when its full power is needed and to slow down when less power is need. Inside the transmission unit are a series of variously sized, toothed gears which are used to change the speed of the vehicle.
[0004] In manual transmission, change in gear is actuated by a gear shift control, which is usually provided between the front seats of a vehicle. The change in gear is done by a combination of a shift lever and a select lever provided on the transmission unit. The shift lever and select lever are connected to the gear shift control via. a shift cable and a select cable, respectively.
[0005] One end of the shift cable is connected to the gear shift control and the other end of the shift cable is connected to the shift lever on the transmission unit. Similarly, one end of the select cable is connected to the gear shift control and the other end of the select cable is connected to the select lever on the transmission unit. For better transmission through the shift cable and the select cable, orientation of the shift cable and the select cable with the shift lever and the select

lever, respectively, is kept perpendicular. To facilitate this orientation, a transmission cable mounting bracket is mounted on the transmission unit.
[0006] Referring to Figure 1, illustrating a transmission cable mounting bracket 100 according to the existing art. The transmission cable mounting bracket 100 has a shift cable mounting member 101 and a select cable mounting member 102. The shift cable mounting member 101 and the select cable mounting member 102 is joined together through spot welding. The shift cable is clamped to the shift cable mounting member 101 and the select cable is clamped to the select cable mounting member 102.
[0007] To change the gears, the gear shift control has to moved specifically, in a pattern, in order to shift from one gear to another. Primarily, there are two types of movements while changing the gear which is left-right (select movement) and forward-backward (shift movement). The transmittal of left-right movement/select movement of the gear shift lever to the select lever, provided on the connection kit of the transmission unit, is done through the select cable. Similarly, the transmittal of forward-backward movement/shift movement of the gear shift lever to the shift lever, provided on the connection kit of the transmission unit, is done through the shift cable.
[0008] As the transmission cable mounting bracket 100 is a three-part assembly joined together through welding, the stress bearing capacity is low. Further, JSH 270CN ( Steel) is used to make existing transmission cable mounting bracket 100 which increases the manufacturing cost of the bracket. Low stress bearing capacity and material nature leads to bending of the transmission cable mounting bracket 100 which changes the orientation of the shift and select cable. The change in orientation hampers the transmittal of movement of the gear shift control to the respective levers.
[0009] Furthermore, the production time taken to manufacture the existing transmission cable mounting bracket 100 is high as the formation, welding and finishing of the existing bracket 100 takes a lot of time.

[0010] In addition, the existing brackets 100 are prone to damage due to rusting, which reduces the overall strength of the bracket and hampers it's working.
[0011] To overcome the drawbacks of existing transmission cable mounting bracket, the present subject matter discloses an integrated transmission cable mounting bracket.

[0051] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a transmission cable mounting bracket 200, to be mounted on a transmission unit 300 of a vehicle.
[0052] Embodiments explained herein pertain to a transmission cable mounting bracket 200 to be mounted on a transmission unit 300. Figure 2 illustrates an isometric view of a transmission cable mounting bracket 200 in accordance with one of the embodiments of the present subject matter. The

transmission cable mounting bracket 200 includes a select cable mounting member 201, a shift cable mounting member 202 and a harness member 203.
[0053] The select cable mounting member 201 has a select clamp member 204 and a select mounting member 206. The select mounting member 206 is extended perpendicularly from the select clamp members 204. The select mounting member 206 has one or more mounting points 208 in the form of apertures. These mounting points 208 are used to mount the select cable mounting member part of the transmission cable mounting bracket 200 on the transmission unit 300. Ribs 210 are provided on the periphery of the mounting points 208, in the select mounting member 206, to create space to accommodate a spacer or a bush for better mounting of the bracket 200 on the transmission unit 300.
[0054] The shift cable mounting member 202 is integrally moulded with the select cable mounting member 201, such that, the shift cable mounting member 202 and select cable mounting member 201 are in different plane. The shift cable mounting member 202 has a shift clamp member 205 and a shift mounting member 207. The shift mounting member 207 is extended perpendicularly from the shift clamp member 205. The shift cable mounting member 205 has one or more mounting points 209 in the form of apertures. These mounting points 212 are used to mount the shift mounting member 207 part of the transmission cable mounting bracket 200 on the transmission unit 300. Ribs 209 are provided on the periphery of the mounting points 212, in the shift mounting member, to create space to accommodate a spacer or a bush for better mounting of the bracket 200 on the transmission unit 300. The mounting points 212 are connected with each other and to the boundary of the shift mounting member 207 through ribs 211 to enhance the stress bearing capacity of the transmission cable mounting bracket 200.
[0055] The harness member 203 is integrally molded on the select cable mounting member 201 or shift cable mounting member 202 or partially molded on both the select cable mounting member 201 and shift cable mounting member 202. The harness member 203 has apertures 213 provided to hold clutch pipe or

wires. The select cable mounting member 201, the shift cable mounting member 202 and the harness member 203 are molded together to form a single piece integrated bracket. The transmission cable mounting bracket (200) is mounted on the transmission unit (300) by fastening means which includes screw, nut and bolt, rivets etc. In a preferred embodiment, the transmission cable mounting bracket 200 is made up of PA66GF35%.
[0056] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrating a transmission unit with the transmission cable mounting bracket and a casing cap, respectively, in accordance with one of the embodiment of the present subject matter. The transmission unit 300 has a select lever 302 and a shift lever 301 directly connected to the various toothed gears. The select lever 302 and the shift lever
301 facilitate the change of gears according to the movement of the gear shift
control via. a select cable and a shift cable.
[0057] The select cable and the shift cable, provided to facilitate transmittal of select and shift movement from the gear shift control to the respective select lever
302 and shift lever 301 provided on the transmission unit 300, has an outer sleeve
provided at both the ends of the cable and a jacket provided to cover the cable. In
the middle of the select cable and shift cable a casing cap (401) is provided to
clamp the wires from respective select clamp member 204 and shift clamp
member 205.
[0058] One end of the select cable is coupled to the gear shift control and other end of the select cable is coupled to the select lever 302. A pin 304 is provided on the select lever 302 to facilitate the coupling of other end of the select cable with the select lever 302. The casing cap (401), provided somewhere in the middle of the select cable, is used to clamp the select cable on the transmission cable mounting bracket 200. Similarly, one end of the shift cable is coupled to the gear shift control and other end of the shift cable is coupled to the shift lever 301. A pin 303 is provided on the shift lever 301 to facilitate the coupling of other end of the shift cable with the shift lever 301. The casing cap (401), provided somewhere in the middle of the shift cable, is used to clamp the shift cable on the

transmission cable mounting bracket 200. The clamping aligns the shift cable and select cable perpendicularly with the shift lever 301 and select lever 302, respectively. Perpendicular alignment facilitates better transmittal of movement of gear shift control to the respective levers 301, 302s.
[0059] To change the gear, the gear shift control is moved specifically, in a pattern, in order to shift from one gear to another. The shift movement is transmitted to the shift lever 301 via. the shift cable and the select movement is transmitted to the select lever 302 via. the select cable. While transmittal of movement of gear shift control, the casing cap (401) ensures clamping of the select cable and shift cable and the cable part of the select cable and shift cable moves freely inside the jacket for transmittal of the movement of the gear shift control to the respective select lever 302 and shift lever 301. The transmittal of movement of gear shift control to the select lever 302 and shift lever 301 on the transmission unit 300 changes the gear and regulate the speed of the vehicle accordingly.
[0060] The transmission cable mounting bracket 200 of present subject matter has more stress bearing capacity than the existing one due to ribs provided for better stress distribution. As the material of production is plastic, manufacturing of the present transmission cable mounting bracket 200 is easier, economic and less time consuming.
[0061] In addition, the present bracket 200 is not susceptible to rusting which enhance the overall life of the bracket 200.
[0062] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as "open" terms (e.g., the term "including" should be interpreted as "including but not limited to," the term "having" should be interpreted as "having at least," the term "includes" should be interpreted as "includes but is not limited to," etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such

recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one or more" to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles "a" or "an" limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases "one or more" or "at least one" and indefinite articles such as "a" or "an" (e.g., "a" and/or "an" should typically be interpreted to mean "at least one" or "one or more"); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of "two recitations," without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B, and C, etc." is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances, where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B, or C, etc." is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase "A or B" will be understood to include the possibilities of "A" or "B" or "A and B."
