Abstract
A motor vehicle latching system with a locking mechanism 9, which comprises at least a catch and at least a pawl for ratcheting of the catch, with an operating lever 1 which can be rotated to open a motor vehicle door and with a transmission element 2 by means of which rotation of the operating lever 1 can be transmitted into pivoting of a triggering lever 3 to disengage the locking mechanism 9. For the coupling of the transmission element 2 with the operating lever 1, the transmission element 2 shiftably reaches through a coupling opening 5 of the operating lever 1. A coupling section 4 of the transmission element 2 which is located in the coupling opening 5 is arch-shaped. Especially reliable operation of the motor vehicle latching system can thus be enabled.
Claims10
A motor vehicle latching system comprising:
- a locking mechanism having at least a catch and at least a pawl provided for ratcheting of the catch,
- a triggering lever that can be pivoted to disengage the locking mechanism, an operating lever, which can be rotated to open a motor vehicle door, and
- a transmission element for transmitting rotation of the operating lever into pivoting of a triggering lever for disengagement of the locking mechanism, whereby the transmission element shiftably reaches through a coupling opening of the operating lever to couple the transmission element with the operating lever, and
- wherein a coupling section of the transmission element, which is located in the coupling opening is arch-shaped.
