Patent ID: 8757682

Claim:
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 ).
