Abstract (en)
A connecting mechanism for connecting a rotary shaft of a door locking system to a door latch is disclosed. It can be a problem that if this rotary shaft is removed, for example by a thief, by abuse or attack, it is a simple matter to actuate the latch to open the door of the motor vehicle without actuating an alarm system of the motor vehicle. The connecting mechanism of the present invention comprises a number of drive gears 20,34,40 disposed such that removal of a rotary shaft 28 from the mechanism causes the drive gears to become disengaged such that rotation of a first drive gear 20 will no longer cause a final drive gear 40 to be drive to actuate the door latch. <IMAGE>
