Abstract
A motor vehicle locking device is equipped with a coupling arrangement consisting essentially of an actuating lever and a release lever that can be coupled releasably thereto. The actuating lever and the release lever can be coupled to one another starting from an uncoupled basic position by a two-stroke actuation of the actuating lever. An accumulator lever storing the first stroke of the operating lever is additionally provided so that, during its second stroke, the operating lever can act upon the release lever that follows the accumulator lever. According to the invention, a safety lever is provided as a complement, which suppresses in its “secured” position a subsequent movement of the release lever during the second stroke of the actuating lever and permits said movement in its “unsecured” position.
Claims13
A motor vehicle door locking device comprising:
- a clutch arrangement including an actuating lever and a release lever which are coupled to each other in a releasable manner, wherein the release lever acts on a locking mechanism of the locking device to unlock the locking mechanism,
- a safety lever movable between a first position and a second position,
- wherein the actuating lever and the release lever, starting from a disengaged basic position in which the actuating lever and the release lever separated, become coupled to one another by a two-stroke actuation of the actuating lever when the safety lever is in the second position,
- an accumulator lever engage by the actuating lever during a first stroke of the two-stroke actuation of the actuating lever,
- wherein when the safety lever is in the second position the accumulator lever is held in a storage position after the first stroke so that the actuating lever acts upon the release lever during a second stroke of the two-stroke actuation,
- and
- wherein when the safety lever is in the first position, the actuating lever is spaced from the release lever to prevents a subsequent movement of the release lever during the second stroke of the actuating lever.
