Abstract: A latch for a motor-vehicle door comprises a housing, a door bolt engageable in and separable from the housing, a pivotal lock fork in the housing engageable around the bolt, and a release lever operatively coupled to the lock fork. Inside and outside latching elements respectively accessible and actuatable from inside and outside the door can each displace a common latching lever pivotal in the housing between a latched position and an unlatched position. Inside and outside locking elements respectively accessible and actuatable from inside and outside the door can similarly displace a common locking lever pivotal in the housing between a locked and an unlocked position. A coupling element connected to the locking lever is displaceable thereby between coupling and uncoupling positions respectively corresponding to the unlocked and locked positions of the locking lever.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle door latch for use on a vehicle door having a handle and a locking element has a housing, a latch fork pivotal on the housing and engageable in a locking position with a door bolt to retain same and lock the door, an operating lever pivoted on the housing and connected to the handle, a locking lever pivoted on the housing and connected to the respective locking element, and an actuating lever operatively engageable with the fork to release same from the locking position. A link coupled to the locking lever is displaceable thereby between a position coupling the operating lever to the actuating lever for displacement of the fork out of the locking position by actuation of the operating lever and a position decoupling the operating lever from the actuating lever. Thus in the decoupling position actuation of the operating lever will not unlock the door.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle door latch for use on a vehicle door having inside and outside handles and inside and outside locking elements has a first housing part that contains a latch fork engageable in a locking position with a door bolt to retain same and lock the door, a lock pawl engageable in a retaining position with the fork to retain same in the locking position, an outside operating lever connected to the outside handle, an outside locking lever connected to the outside locking element, and an unlocking lever connected to the outside locking lever and operable to unlock the door. A second housing part contains an inside operating lever connected to the inside handle, an inside locking lever connected to the inside locking element, a coupling device pivoted coaxially with the inside locking lever and having one arm connected to the unlocking lever of the first housing part and another arm, and a central actuating unit.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle door latch for use on a vehicle door having inside and outside handles and inside and outside locking elements has a housing, a latch fork pivotal on the housing and engageable in a locking position with a door bolt to retain same and lock the door, inside and outside operating levers pivoted on the housing and connected to the respective handles, and inside and outside locking levers pivoted on the housing and connected to the respective locking elements. An actuating lever operatively engageable with the fork can release same from the locking position and a link coupled to the locking levers is displaceable thereby between a position coupling the outside operating lever to the actuating lever for displacement of the fork out of the locking position by actuation of the outside operating lever and a position decoupling the outside operating lever from the actuating lever. Thus in the decoupling position actuation of the outside operating lever will not unlock the door.

Abstract: A standard motor-vehicle door latch includes a latch housing adapted to be secured to a motor-vehicle door adjacent an edge thereof that is substantially only exposed when the door is open, an opening lever adapted to be coupled to an inside door handle and pivoted on the housing, and door opening mechanism on the housing actuatable by the lever to unlatch the door. A child-safety cutout comprises a shaft pivotal in the housing between a freeing position and a locking position and having an outer end exposed through the housing at the door edge and an inner end and an element on the inner end operatively engageable with the opening lever for preventing actuation of the door-opening mechanism by the opening lever in the locking position and for permitting such actuation in the freeing position.
