1. An actuating device, particularly for a vehicle door lock, having:

  • a cam wheel (11), selectively rotatable about a rotation axis (11a) in two directions;

    at least one cam (13) extending out from the cam wheel, the at least one cam being at least one of rectangular and triangular;

    an adjustment lever (12) having a dog (14) having a first actuation curve (12a) and at least one second actuation curve (14b), the adjustment lever being pivotable about a rotation axis (12a) between two positions defined by two stops through interaction between the at least one cam (13) and the dog (14);

    wherein interaction between the at least one cam (13) and the first actuation curve (14a) on the dog causes no pivoting of the adjustment lever (12), and interaction of the at least one cam (13) with the at least one second actuation curve (14b) initiates pivoting of the adjustment lever (12) between the two stops, the dog (14) moving in the direction of a plane extending through the rotation axis (12a) of the adjustment lever (12) and the rotation axis (11a) of the cam wheel (11).
