for holding the parking lock in the disengaged state is small thus the electrical power consumption of the solenoid in the disengaged state of the parking lock is correspondingly low with 15 a segment of the transmission housing is shown in a schematic way 0028 fig3 shows an embodiment of the parking lock according to the present invention in the disengaged state to disengage the parking lock cone 29 is moved to the left in the diagram until the ramp contour allows locking pawl 26 to move upward in the diagram to move out of engagement with the teeth of parking lock gear 28 by rotating locking pawl 26 about its center of rotation 27 the locking pawl may snap into engagement with parking lock gear 28 to reach the locking position and conversely may move out of engagement to release the locking position the interlocking connection between between the teeth of parking lock gear 28 and locking pawl 26 is not self locking thus when a torque is applied to parking lock gear 28 locking pawl 26 may be forced out of the teeth of the parking lock gear in the engaged state this is prevented by cone 29 which can be moved to the right in the diagram until locking pawl 26 is blocked from moving upward in the diagram to engage the parking lock the locking pawl must snap into engagement with the.
