ABSTRACT:
A motor-vehicle door latch has a pivotal lock fork housing engageable with a door bolt and a release pawl engageable with the fork to retain it in a locked position. A lever mechanism connected to the release pawl can displace the release pawl into a bolt-freeing position. A child-safety lever having a pair of arms is pivotal between a child-safety position and a normal position. An actuating pawl on the housing engages one of the arms of the child-safety lever and is displaceable between an on position holding the child-safety lever in the child-safety position and an off position with the child-safety lever in the normal position. An inside handle operable from inside the vehicle is permanently connected to an inside latching lever pivoted on the other arm of the child-safety lever and has an end engageable with the mechanism to actuate same only in the normal position of the child-safety lever and operatively unengageable with the mechanism in the child-safety position of the child-safety lever so that in the on position the inside latching lever is operatively unengageable with the mechanism and decouples the mechanism from the inside handle.
