  • Publication number: 20120161456
    Abstract: A locking device for an automobile includes a rotary latch supported in the housing for rotation, a locking bracket lockingly engaging with the locking device when the rotary latch is in a locked position, a catch hook having a hook section constructed to securely engage behind the locking bracket when the catch hook is in a catch position, and a locking pawl controlling rotation of the rotary latch. In response to a first unlocking actuation, the locking pawl is unlocked, rotating the rotary latch into the opening direction of rotation up to an unlocking position of the rotary latch which unlocks the locking bracket. In response to a second unlocking actuation, the catch hook rotates into the opening direction of rotation up to a release position of the locking bracket of the locking pawl, thereby releasing the catch hook.
