ABSTRACT:
A device for securing the locked position of a motor-vehicle door activated by a rotating post and that is locked or unlocked by raising and lowering the post has a disk attached to the post and a rotating support in the form of a double-armed lever mounted below the disk on a stationary section of the frame so that the support can be displaced into a position in which the disk rests on the top of one of the lever arms. The axis of rotation of the support is positioned on the frame section and lies in a plane that is perpendicular to the direction in which the rotating post is raised and lowered. The bottom of the second lever arm of the support rests on and is forced by a compression spring against a stop on the frame section and the bottom of the first arm of the support has a recess. A rotating locking element, which is also a double-armed lever with two support surfaces on one arm, engages the recess. The axis of rotation of the support, which is positioned on the frame section, parallels the axis of rotation of the support and the support surfaces are adjacent and essentially perpendicular to each other, with one extending essentially radially to the axis of rotation of the locking element and the other essentially tangential to the direction in which the locking element rotates. The recess in the support has two adjacent and perpendicular contact surfaces against which the support surfaces of the locking element rest in the locking state, and the second lever arm of the locking element is connected to at least one activating mechanism.
