Abstract
A motor vehicle door lock, comprising a locking mechanism (3, 4) and a closing/opening device (5 to 12), containing at least a drive (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and a lever actuating mechanism (10, 11, 12), wherein the lever actuating mechanism (10, 11, 12) in its engaged state provides a mechanically effective connection between the drive (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and the locking mechanism (3, 4) and is moved into its disengaged state through using a triggering lever (14).
Claims6
A motor vehicle door lock, comprising:
- a locking mechanism (3, 4) and a closing/opening device (5 to 12), containing at least a drive (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) acting upon a lever actuating mechanism (10, 11, 12), which contains at least two parts, a driving pawl (11) and a latching pawl (12), wherein both pawls (11, 12) or both pawls (11, 12) and a control lever (16) are jointly mounted on an actuating lever (10) acted upon by the drive (5, 6, 7, 8, 9),
- wherein a sensor detects an intermediate closed or intermediate locked position of the motor vehicle door lock, causing the drive (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to operate such that the lever actuating mechanism (10, 11, 12) in an engaged state, engages a pin (13) of the locking mechanism (3, 4), and wherein the lever actuating mechanism (10, 11, 12) in its engaged state provides a mechanically effective connection between the drive (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and the locking mechanism (3, 4) through the latching pawl (12) blocking the driving pawl (11),
- and wherein in a disengaged state of the lever actuating mechanism (10, 11, 12), a triggering lever (14) acts upon the latching pawl (12) to release its blocking of the driving pawl (11).
