Motor vehicle door lock
First Claim
1. Motor vehicle door lock comprising a means of locking/unlocking the lock from the outside, an electric actuator (50) for controlling the said means of locking/unlocking from the outside, a wheel (20) which can be rotated by the electric actuator (50), a lock pawl (5) blocking a lock latch (3) at rest in a position which can retain a door striker (8) in a door-closed position, and a link rod (38) for opening from the outside capable of moving, under the action of an external door handle, along a door-opening travel (β
- '"'"') to come into contact with an active portion (13) of the said pawl (5) to move said pawl into a retracted position releasing the latch (3), which allows the door to be opened, characterized in that the said wheel is a central locking/unlocking wheel (20) with which all the control means (38,40) for locking/unlocking the lock from the outside cooperate, the said wheel (20) cooperating with the link rod (38) for opening from the outside to move the link rod, as the said wheel rotates, between an engaged stable position in which the link rod for opening from the outside is able to come into contact with the said active portion (13) of the pawl, during the door-opening travel (γ
'"'"') of said link rod, and a disengaged stable position in which the link rod for opening from the outside is no longer able to come into contact with the pawl (5) during the door-opening travel of said link rod.
