Motor vehicle lock
First Claim
1. Motor vehicle lock, comprising:
- a ratchet, a latch, an actuation lever, an internal actuation force transmission chain, an external actuation force transmission chain, and a control means for controlling operation of the lock, wherein the ratchet has an engagement position in which it holds the latch in a closed position, and has a raised position in which the latch is released, the ratchet being movable from the engagement position into the raised position by means of the actuating lever, wherein the control means has a plurality of different operating states and depending on the operating state of the control means, the ratchet is actuatable via at least one of the actuation lever by means of the internal actuation force transmission chain from an inside door handle and by means of the external actuation force transmission chain from an outside door handle and can be precluded from being actuated at all, the control means having a base state in which the internal actuation force transmission chain and the external actuation force transmission chain are coupled to the actuation lever and wherein the internal actuation force transmission chain and the external actuation force transmission chain are adapted to be decoupled from the actuation lever by the control means depending on the operating state.

Abstract
Motor vehicle lock with a ratchet, latch, actuation lever, internal actuation chain, external actuation chain and a control, the ratchet having an engagement position in which it holds the latch in the closed position, and a raised position in which the latch is released, the ratchet being movable from the engagement position into the raised position by the actuating lever, the control having different operating states and depending on the state, the ratchet is actuatable via the actuation lever by the internal actuation chain from an inside door handle and/or by the external actuation chain from an outside door handle or not at all. In the base state, the internal actuation chain and the external actuation chain are coupled to the actuation lever and the internal actuation chain and/or the external actuation chain can be decoupled from the actuation lever by the control depending on the operating state.

21. Motor vehicle lock, comprising:
-
a ratchet, a latch, and a control means for controlling operation of the lock, wherein the ratchet has an engagement position in which it holds the latch in a closed position, and has a raised position in which the latch is released, wherein the control means has a central locking drive, and is adapted for being switched by means of the central locking drive in a first direction of motion from a center lock (CL) operating state into an unlock (UL) operating state and in a second direction of motion from the unlock operating state into the center lock operating state, the central locking drive also being adapted to function as an opening drive, wherein the ratchet is movable from the engagement position into the raised position by means of the central locking drive in an opening function, the opening function being produced by motion of the central locking drive in a first direction, and wherein the central locking drive has a range of motion in the central locking function which coincides at least in part with a range of motion of the central locking drive in the opening function. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
