<p>Lock actuator mechanism for vehicle doors, especially rear passenger doors has a child safety facility and provision for locking the door even if powered actuation is inoperative. As seen in Figure 1 it comprises a main power driven locking lever 10 rocking between locked and unlocked condition and a T shaped output lever 16 one arm 24 of which has a longitudinal slot. Co-axial with lever 16 is a drive input lever 28 operated by the interior door handle and having an L shaped slot 30. A dog pin 32 is received in both slots and linked to a security lever 36 co-axial with lever 10. Lever 36 can be shifted by a button 38 accessible only when the door is open and can be set to shift pin 32 into the lateral part 30b of slot 30 disabling the interior door handle for child safety. Lever 36 can also be used to set the lock manually if power should fail by drive engagement of a pin 42 thereon with a slot in main lever 10. <IMAGE></p> |
