<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 the figure 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 level (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).</p> |
