Device for locking and unlocking a door, in particular a motor vehicle door
First Claim
1. A locking device, comprising:
- a door;
a handle depression in the door;
a control unit associated with the door;
an electric lock coupled to the control unit;
a portable electronic authorization ID arrangement;
a door handle, wherein the door handle is adapted to be swivelled up out of a starting center position into an up position, and swivelled down out of the starting center position into a down position, about a horizontal swivelling axis in the handle depression in the door;
wherein, upon an operation of the door handle out of the starting center position into one of the up and down positions, the control unit initiates a transmission of query information to the authorization ID arrangement, the authorization ID arrangement causes a transmission of identification information to the control unit upon receiving the query information from the control unit, the control unit compares the identification information with predetermined authorized identification information, and, if the identification information received from the authorization ID arrangement agrees with the predetermined authorized identification information, the control unit controls the electric lock to execute or cancel one of a locking or an unlocking of the door;
a first spring element for automatically resetting the door handle into the starting center position after the door handle is released from the up position;
a second spring element for automatically resetting the door handle into the starting center position after the door handle is released from the down position; and
electric switches for initiating, on the one hand, an identification procedure and a locking procedure and, on the other hand, an identification procedure and an unlocking procedure, the electric switches being actuated in switch positions of the door handle.

Abstract
A device for locking and unlocking a door, in particular a motor vehicle door, has an electric lock and a door handle, with the transmission of query information to a portable electronic authorization ID means being initiatable via a control unit provided for the door when the door handle is operated out of the resting position in opposite directions, with the authorization ID means causing the transmission of identification information on receipt of the query information, and with the control unit comparing the identification information received with predetermined authorized identification information and, if it agrees with some of the predefined identification information, the locking of the door or its unlocking with the release of the catch is executed or canceled by controlling the electric lock. The operating reliability of the system is greatly increased with simple handling due to the fact that the door handle can be swivelled up and down about a horizontal swiveling axis in a handle recess in the door, and it can be reset automatically into the starting center position again by spring elements after the door handle is released, and electric switches can be actuated in the switch positions of the door handle, initiating the identification and the locking procedure as well as the identification and the unlocking procedure.
