MUMBAI, India, Aug. 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517057725 A) filed by Stellantis E-Transmissions NV, Brussels, on June 16, for 'a park lock system for vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Smid, Peter Mark.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 1, under issue no. 31/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure envisages a park lock system 100 for vehicle. The park lock system (100) includes two park pawls viz. a first park pawl (102a) and a second park pawl (102b). The two park pawls (102a and 102b) are strategically positioned to reduce the backlash/rolling of vehicle wheel after the vehicle is switched into a park mode. The arrangement is such that the only one locking-element (104a or 104b) of the park pawls (102a, 102b) will be able to engage with park gear (110) when the park lock system (100) is switched to parked mode. When in assembled condition, the distance between the locking-elements (104a and 104b) is different than the distance between adjacent tooth-spaces (110a) (and/or its multiple) defined on the park gear (110). The advantage of the park lock system (100) is that, the backlash seen on wheels after parking is drastically reduced."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 17, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/082189.
