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 locking device 3 are in contact with the vehicle acting lateral acceleration of about 30 g. The in effect position C located catcher 26 allows a small lateral bulging of about 2 to 3 mm of the outer door panel 5 to the outside. In this position, the catch pin 27 is located then at the outer edge of the receptacle 29 and thus limits further bulging of the outside door panel. Due to the bulging of the door outer panel 5 of about 2 to 3 mm outwardly pivoted the release lever 7 to that in Fig. 3rd given angle α. However, this angle α is so low that thereby no Unintentional unlocking of the lock 6 takes place.
