A shifting apparatus is disclosed for use with an automatic transmission that is situated within a closely confined area within a vehicle. The transmission is of the type that includes an externally mounted shift position select lever that shifts the transmission from a present transmission shift position to a desired transmission shift position. The shifting apparatus includes an operator input means adapted to be mounted in the passenger compartment. It also includes a motor drive assembly adapted to be mounted within the vehicle at a location remote from the closely confined area. Through a flexible cable, the motor drive assembly engages the shift position select lever to impart rotational movement thereon to shift the transmission to a desired shift position.

A press for extracting fruit juice. The press includes a reservoir having a base and a reservoir wall extending from the base, the base having a fruit-contacting side, a non-fruit-contacting side and an opening. The press further includes a tank having a first opened end, a second opened end and a sidewall disposed therebetween, wherein the sidewall has a plurality of openings and the tank is seated on the fruit-contacting side of the base. Additionally, the press includes an actuator module positioned on the non-fruit-contacting side of the reservoir base. The actuator module has a motor and a press shaft. The press shaft is disposed through the opening of the reservoir base. The motor is drivingly connected to the press shaft to move it between retracted and extended positions. A press plate is detachably secured to the press shaft.

A shifting apparatus for use in a motor vehicle having an automatic transmission including a shift position select lever. The shifting apparatus includes an operator input means including a plurality of push buttons, each push button corresponding to desired transmission shift position. A generator means, operative in response to actuation of a push button, generates a signal representative of a desired transmission shift position. An actuator module, drivingly connected to the transmission shift position select lever, includes a variable resistance circuit which maintains a resistance value representative of the present transmission shift position. By reading the resistance value of the circuit, a comparator means can determine the present transmission shift position of the vehicle. Upon receiving an operator signal representative of a desired transmission shift position that is different from the present transmission shift position, the comparator means energizes the actuator module to move the shift position select lever to a position corresponding to the desired transmission shift position. The shifting apparatus of the present invention also operates in a security mode wherein a user code must be provided that matches one or more previously stored identification codes to start and operate the motor vehicle.
