Motor vehicle locking device with a shaft as the coupling means

Abstract

A motor vehicle locking device with a motor vehicle lock (1) with a connection coupling (2), a lock actuation unit (3) located at a distance from the lock, with a connection coupling (5), and a shaft (7) as the coupling between the connection couplings (2, 5). The shaft (7) has an outer jacket (8) which passes essentially completely between the connection couplings (2, 5), and which normally cannot be turned in the connection coupling (2), and the outer jacket (8) is coupled to a blocking element (9) so that, when the outside jacket (8) is forcibly turned around its lengthwise axis, the blocking element (9) blocks the force transmission element (10) of the connection coupling (2), which element is connected to the shaft (7) or mounted on it, before actuation of the lock mechanism of the motor vehicle lock (1) by the shaft (7) can take place. Alternatively it can also be provided that the force transmission element (10) of the connection coupling (2) is decoupled from the shaft (7) and/or the lock mechanism of the motor vehicle lock (1) by means of the blocking element (9).
