  • Patent number: 6007117
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock or the like for a door or hatch of a motor vehicle which can be closed from the outside, preferably via a closing cylinder, with a lock mechanism which, among other elements, has an actuating lever (1), a force application element (4) which moves actuating lever (1), and an intermediate element (5) which is moved away from the closing cylinder or the like, the force application element (4) and intermediate element (5) being made as gear wheels with gear rims (6, 7) which are transmission-coupled to one another. A trip-free mechanism is easily integrated by the gear rim of one of the gear wheels having a gap (8) and thus the intermediate element (5) is able to continue to be turned in idle when this gap (8) is reached without the force application element (4) itself continuing to turn along with it.
