The invention relates to a motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism (1, 2) composed, essentially, of a rotary latch (1) and a pawl (2). Furthermore, a securing device (5, 6, 7, 8) and and an emergency actuation element (9, 10, 11) for the securing device are realized. The securing device (5, 6, 7, 8) has at least one securing lever (5), which can be acted upon both by a first motor drive (7) and by an emergency actuation lever (10) as part of the emergency actuation element (9, 10, 11). According to the invention, the first securing lever (5) has a spring (5a) for positioning the first securing lever.

A door locking device includes a latching mechanism configured to detachably lock a striker fixed to a vehicle body, an inner lever capable of rotating for releasing locking of the striker by the latching mechanism; and a child lever capable of rotating between an unlocked position where the inner lever is contactable with the child lever and a locked position where the inner lever is uncontactable with the child lever. The child lever is configured to transmit a rotational force of the inner lever to the latching mechanism by being rotated due to contacting of the inner lever with the child lever at the unlocked position.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock comprising a locking mechanism consisting essentially of a rotary latch and a pawl, further comprising an actuation lever mechanism (2a, 2b) that acts on the pawl, and a child safety device (3) that includes a child safety lever (4) to which the force of a spring (5) is applied. According to the invention, the child safety lever (4) and the spring (5) are designed as a subassembly (4, 5).

A door latch apparatus that is mounted on a vehicle door and that achieves at low cost a structure that is for ensuring operational reliability of an open lever. The door latch apparatus includes a cap formed by resin material and including a cylindrical shape, the cap being arranged in an inserted manner at an attachment shaft extended in a form of a shaft in a predetermined direction, an elastic spring member that elastically biases a pawl from a non restriction position towards a restriction position, and a coming-off prevention mechanism that, by making part of the elastic spring member to engage with the cap, prevents the cap from coming off from the attachment shaft.

A vehicle door operation device includes an inside handle, a full open unlocking lever for transmitting a closing operation of the inside handle to a full open door latch device, and a full closure unlocking lever for transmitting an opening operation of the inside handle to a full closure door latch device. The inside handle has first and projecting portions, and when the inside handle rotates in a first direction by the closing operation, the first projecting portion is brought into abutment with the full open unlocking lever to enable the full open unlocking lever to operate, whereas when the inside handle rotates in a second direction by the opening operation, the second projecting portion is brought into abutment with the full closure unlocking lever to enable the full closure unlocking lever to operate.

A power child lock system for a vehicle includes a power actuator, a wheel gear which is rotated by the power actuator, a child lock link which is moved by the wheel gear, a child lock lever which is moved by the child lock link, an inside lever which is connected to an inside handle assembly through a cable, a release lever which is mechanically connected to a door latch mechanism, and an indicator lever which is rotatable by the movement of the child lock link. The indicator lever is mounted to close a mounting hole of an inner panel.

A latch assembly, including: a manual release lever rotationally mounted to the latch assembly for movement about a first axis, the manual release lever being operably coupled to an inside release handle; a release link pivotally mounted to the manual release lever for movement about a second axis; a child lock lever rotationally mounted to the latch assembly for movement about a third axis; a gear rotationally mounted to the latch assembly for movement about a fourth axis, the gear being rotated by a motor that drives a worm that meshingly engages teeth of the gear; a child lock switch positioned to detect a position of the child lock lever; a gear home switch positioned to detect the position of the gear; and wherein the gear has a first cam surface configured to contact a cam surface of the child lock lever when the gear is rotated to a locked position and contact of the first cam surface with the cam surface of the child lock lever will rotate the child lock lever about the third axis and rotation of the child lock lever about the third axis will cause the release link to pivot about the second axis.

A motor vehicle having a motor vehicle lock which is paired with a movable door element and which comprises a locking mechanism consisting of a rotary latch and at least one pawl. In an open position of the locking mechanism, at least one part of an inlet region for a lock holder can be released. The motor vehicle also has an actuation means which is arranged in the free inlet region, wherein the actuation means forms at least one part of an energy power supply of the motor vehicle lock.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle locking device comprising a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl, an actuating lever mechanism acting on the pawl, and a child safety device having a control element (1), wherein the control element (1) is latchable in at least two latching positions (R1, R2), and a spring element (3) on the control element (1), wherein the spring element (3) interacts with a control cam (2) in such a way that the control element (1) is adjustable in a spring-loaded manner into the latching positions (R1, R2), and wherein the spring element (3) is designed as a spring lip (3).

An actuation device for a lock of a motor vehicle, said actuation device allowing a plurality of functions without requiring a large number of parts and/or a complex and/or voluminous structure. This is achieved in that the actuation device according to the claims for opening a locking mechanism of a motor vehicle lock comprises an anti-theft device, a central locking device, and a childproof lock device. A multifunction coupling lever is provided which is capable of opening a locking mechanism of a motor vehicle lock by means of an opening movement. The opening movement of the multifunction coupling lever can be prevented by the anti-theft device, the central locking device, and the childproof lock device. Thus, an actuation device is provided which is capable of performing a plurality of functions while comprising few components. Because only a few components are required, the structural complexity can be low.
