Abstract:
A motor vehicle door lock comprising an outside opening lever able to open the lock under the action of an outside opening member, a locking lever able to move a disengageable interconnecting link between an engaged position in which the outside opening lever can cooperate, during its opening travel, with said interconnecting link to open the lock, and a disengaged position in which the opening travel of the outside opening lever does not interfere with said interconnecting link, which prevents opening of the lock, the lock further comprising at least one blocking part receiving an end of said interconnecting link and able to block the movement of said interconnecting link when said link is in its disengaged position, and anti-panic means positioned between said locking lever and said interconnecting link to enable, movement of said interconnecting link by said locking lever, when said blocking part is at rest, and movement of said locking lever to its unlocked position when said blocking part is in its position blocking said interconnecting link, wherein unlocking energy resulting from the movement of the unlocking lever is stored by said anti-panic means to automatically trigger the movement of said interconnecting link to its engaged position when said blocking part returns to its rest position, and a superlocking lever cooperating with said anti-panic means, so as to block, in a superlocked position, the movement of said interconnecting link in its disengaged position, and to allow the movement of said locking lever to its unlocked position, said anti-panic means storing the unlocking energy resulting from the movement of said locking lever to automatically trigger the movement of said interconnecting link to its engaged position, when said superlocking lever returns to its rest position, said superlocking lever constituting a part that blocks the interconnecting link.
