A door lock system for a motor vehicle including a latching and locking means is disclosed. A cam means is driven about a pivot point by the engagement of gear projections with a slot in the cam means to effect locking and unlocking of the door lock. The cam means and the gear projections are separated once the door lock is in the locked or unlocked position to allow the door lock to be manually displaced without necessitating the rotational translation of the gear or the electric motor driving the gear.

A door lock system for a motor vehicle which comprises: a latching and locking means having a lever which may be displaced between locked and unlocked positions to either a latch the door lock or place the door lock in a condition where the door may be opened; a cam means connected to displace said lever, said cam means being mounted for rotational displacement and defining only one fixed receiving slot formed within said cam means; a gear means mounted for rotational displacement and offset from the cam means to overlap therewith, said gear means including at least one projecting pin means extending axially outward from a radially extending surface of the gear means and sized to engage the cam means within the receiving slot such that rotational displacement of the gear means effects rotational displacement of the cam means and continued rotational displacement of the gear means disengages the projecting pin means from the slot; and means for driving the gear means to effect rotational displacement thereof whereby when the projecting pin means is not in the slot, the cam means may be displaced as a result of displacement of the latching and locking means lever without causing rotational displacement of the gear means or the means for driving the gear means.
