Abstract

An electrically operable device for actuating vehicle doors and the like from a central panel location is disclosed, especially for doors having an individual lock, and having electromechanical actuation including an actuating rod adapted to be reciprocatingly displaced, as well as being adapted to assume an unlocked position, a locked position, and an antitheft position. The actuating rod is further adapted to operate the respective control rod operatively connected to the respective door lock. The device includes a reversible electric motor, a transmission, and an actuating mechanism for the drive rod. The device also includes exterior ridges on a spindle-nut and projecting formations which can be overridden, upon completion of the locking stroke, as well as on completion of the unlocking stroke, as well as for carrying out of an antitheft stroke. The device also includes a spindle which is positioned parallel to the up-and-down movement of the actuating rod, and which is provided with a self-retarding thread and on which is guided the spindle-nut which on respective sides is provided with the exterior ridges. The actuating rod is formed of two fork-like arms which extend on both sides of the spindle and each arm has a resiliently deflectable projecting formation. The lower ends of the arms are joined by a traverse or stop, onto which can be placed, at the end of the antitheft stroke, the spindle-nut.
