In der Ruhestellung B, das heißt bei keiner auf das Fahrzeug einwirkenden Querbeschleunigung sind beide Teile 27 und 28 der Fangvorrichtung 26 berührungslos zueinander angeordnet.The holding part 28 is formed as shown in FIG. 2 by a molded-on tab 35 of the inner door reinforcement 9. In another embodiment, not shown, the holding part 28 could also be formed by a parked tab of the lock 6. However, the approximately upright running, extending in the vehicle transverse direction locally angled holding member 28 could also be formed by a separate component which is fixed locally on the inner panel 4 of the vehicle door 2 or the lock 6. According to FIGS. 2 and 3, the catch bolt 27 protrudes through the receptacle 29 of the holding member 28 and projects beyond this on both sides. In the rest position B, that is, at no acting on the vehicle lateral acceleration both parts 27 and 28 of the safety gear 26 are arranged contactlessly to each other.

In Fig 3. ist die Fahrzeugtür 2 und die Schließeinrichtung 3 bei einer auf das Fahrzeug einwirkenden Querbeschleunigung von etwa 30 g dargestellt. Die sich in Wirkstellung C befindliche Fangvorrichtung 26 ermöglicht ein geringes seitliches Ausbeulen von ca. 2 bis 3 mm des Türaußenblechs 5 nach außen hin. In dieser Stellung liegt der Fangbolzen 27 dann am äußeren Rand der Aufnahme 29 an und begrenzt somit ein weiteres Ausbeulen des Türaußenblechs nach außen hin. Durch das Ausbeulen des Türaußenblechs 5 von etwa 2 bis 3 mm nach außen hin verschwenkt der Auslösehebel 7 um den in Fig. 3 angegebenen Winkel α. Dieser Winkel α ist jedoch so gering, daß dadurch kein ungewolltes Entriegeln des Schlosses 6 erfolgt.In FIG. 3, the vehicle door 2 and the closing device 3 are shown at a transverse acceleration of approximately 30 g acting on the vehicle. The catching device 26 located in operative position C allows a slight lateral bulging of approximately 2 to 3 mm of the door outer panel 5 towards the outside. In this position, the catch bolt 27 then abuts the outer edge of the receptacle 29 and thus limits further buckling of the door outer panel toward the outside. By the bulging of the door outer panel 5 of about 2 to 3 mm outwardly pivoted the trigger lever 7 by the angle α indicated in Fig. 3. However, this angle α is so small that no unwanted unlocking of the lock 6 takes place.
