Patent ID: 7891138

Claim:
A combination of a functional unit ( 1 ) and a door ( 2 ) for a motor vehicle, wherein the door includes a window, wherein the functional unit includes a lock, an actuating mechanism and a window regulator device, the lock ( 3 ) comprising a closing mechanism ( 20 ) that, in use, releasably couples with a lock striker ( 4 ) bringing about closing of said door ( 2 ); wherein the actuating mechanism ( 21 ) controls release of said closing mechanism ( 20 ) by said lock striker ( 4 ) to bring about opening of said door ( 2 ), wherein the actuating mechanism ( 21 ) includes a control member ( 54 ) that, in use, is connected to a handle ( 55 ) of said door ( 2 ) and is selectively displaced from a resting position to a first operative position which brings about said transmission assembly ( 56 ) from said disabling configuration to said enabling configuration, wherein the actuating mechanism ( 21 ) further includes an opening lever ( 53 ), which is connected to said closing mechanism ( 20 ) and can be displaced, by means of said transmission assembly ( 56 ), from a resting position to an opening position, in which the opening lever brings about release of said closing mechanism ( 20 ) from said lock striker ( 4 ); a connection element ( 75 ) for connecting selectively together said opening lever ( 53 ) and said control member ( 54 ); and constraint means ( 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 ), which are set between said connection element ( 75 ), said opening lever ( 53 ) and said control member ( 54 ), and are active during an overtravel of the control member ( 54 ) for enabling emergency opening of said door ( 2 ), the window-regulator device ( 5 ) comprising an electrically operated actuator ( 22 ) that, in use, raises and lowers a window ( 7 ) of said door ( 2 ), said functional unit further comprising coupling means ( 56 ), which selectively couples together said actuator ( 22 ) and said actuating mechanism ( 21 enabling, in use, opening of said door ( 2 ) by means of the actuator ( 22 ), wherein the coupling means comprises a transmission assembly ( 56 ) set between said actuator ( 22 ) and said actuating mechanism ( 21 ) and selectively available in two operating configurations corresponding to enabling and disabling control of said actuating mechanism ( 21 ) by said actuator ( 22 ).
