Patent ID: 8596424

Claim:
A locking device for locking a displaceable motor vehicle part which is lockable by the locking device within a displacement range between a completely closed position and a completely opened position in a multitude of respective intermediate rest positions reached by displacement of the motor vehicle part, comprising: a braking device with at least two braking elements which interacts in a braking manner in a respective intermediate rest position of the motor vehicle part in order to lock the motor vehicle part in the respective intermediate rest position; and an actuator which is adapted to be combined with the braking device and with which a displacement movement of the motor vehicle part is brakable to lock the motor vehicle part, wherein the actuator has its own breaking means associated with it and, independently from the braking device, is operatively connected with a component which is configured to be moved by displacement of the motor vehicle part so that a displacement movement of the displaceable motor vehicle part is brakable by the action of the actuator on the component via the breaking means.
