Regardless of the possible loading direction (6, 7, 15), a blocking lever (5) is pivoted in such a way that the blocking lever (5) reliably blocks the release lever (3) of a motor vehicle door lock. For this purpose, the blocking lever (5) has a specially shaped blocking projection (8), an initiating arm (9) that protrudes beyond the lock housing (2), and additionally a safety mechanism that ensures that the blocking lever (5) cannot affect the release lever (3) during normal operation. Thus, loads directed vertically upward and downward and horizontal loads, for example of the outer door panel (14), are absorbed in order to pivot the blocking lever (5) into and hold the blocking lever in the necessary blocking position. |
