ABSTRACT:
A locking device for vehicles, particularly for vehicle doors has a mechanical revolving connection between a cylinder core of a lock cylinder and a safety lever of an assigned lock which comprises a driving coupling in the form of a lock nut. In order to achieve a simplification of the construction and mounting of the locking device while ensuring the operability of the locking device when it is operated mechanically as well as when the central locking system is operated, the lock nut is constructed in one piece. An end side of the lock nut facing an operating lever arm of the safety lever has two stops spaced angularly from one another and projecting from the end side. The operating lever arm engages between the stops, so that when the lock nut is rotated, a locking or unlocking position of the safety lever is achieved after an idling path. For the scanning of switches of a central locking system, two cams are arranged on the circumference of the one-piece lock nut which, with respect to one another, have a different angular position with respect to the lock nut circumference and are arranged relative to the stops in the circumferential direction in such a manner that, when the lock nut is rotated, the corresponding cam operates the respective assigned switch of the central locking system before one of the stops engages in the operating lever arm of the safety lever.
