Patent attributes
A parking lock apparatus for a transmission including a meshing type clutch is provided in which when a parking lock is operated by engaging a parking pawl (43) with a parking gear (41) provided on a gear shaft of a transmission, since a parking rod (51) for operating the parking pawl (43) is provided on a shift rod (44) connected to and operated by an actuator (46) in order to establish a reverse gear position on the transmission, it is possible to establish the reverse gear position with a shift fork (48) by moving the shift rod (44) in one direction from the neutral position, and to carry out the operation of the parking lock automatically without requiring a special actuator by moving the shift rod (44) in another direction from the neutral position, thereby reducing the size and cost of the transmission by enabling the number of components, including the number of actuators (46), to be cut.
