Abstract (en)
A vehicle door securing mechanism including;- a latch (12) for releasably retaining the door in a closed condition, a latch releaser (16,24,32,36) for selectively unlatching the door, a door lock (14) for selectively preventing unlatching of the closed door by disabling or blocking action of the latch releaser, and a child safety lock actuable to prevent operation of the latch releaser from the inside of the respective door when closed. The latch releaser includes a release lever (16) having an operative connection to an interior door handle; an unlatching lever (24) pivoted co-axially in overlying relationship to the release lever and interacting with the latch (12), angular displacement of the unlatching lever from a home position causing unlatching of the closed door in use; a drive dog (32) guided by a longitudinal slot (30) of one of the levers for movement between an engaged position at which it engages a drive slot (34) of the other of the levers so that they move in unison and a disengaged child safety position at which the levers are uncoupled for independent movement; and a power actuator (36) linked to the drive dog for selectively effecting the movement under control remote from the inside of the door and/or inaccessible from the inside of the door when closed. <IMAGE>
