ABSTRACT:
A device for actuating locks on a vehicle door has a rotary latch spring-loaded into an open position. When the door is closed, the rotary latch receives a lock member of the lock and is rotated into a defined locked position. The rotary latch has a detent into which a pivotable catch drops in a blocking position for securing the locked position of the rotary latch. A catch spring forces the catch into the blocking position. An actuation is provided for lifting the catch from the blocking position into a release position for releasing the rotary latch. The catch spring is an over-center helper spring that reverses a direction of action of the spring force. The catch spring acts as a snow load device that holds the catch in the release position until the rotary latch has reached the open position.
