It is provided a locking device, comprising: a rotary latch pivotally mounted on a housing between a locking position and an unlocking position, a blocking element movable between a blocking position and a release position, by which the rotary latch is blocked in the locking position when the blocking element is arranged in the blocking position, and a driving device that can be activated for moving the blocking element from the blocking position into the release position. There is provided an unlocking element that is pivotally mounted on the housing independently of the driving device and is adapted to urge the blocking element from the blocking position into the release position.

Locking device with emergency release

A lock unit for a vehicle, having a carrier, a locking element, an arresting element, pivotable on the carrier between an arresting position and an unlocking position and, in its arresting position, arrests the locking element, in the locking position, not adjustable to the release position and, in its unlocking position, allows adjustment of the locking element from the locking position to the release position, and an actuating element, adjustable on the carrier within an adjustment region and configured to pivot the arresting element from the arresting position towards unlocking position. The actuating element is coupled to the arresting element via a coupling mechanism, so that an adjustment movement of the actuating element is converted into a pivoting movement of the arresting element towards the locking position of the latter, only in part of the adjustment region of the actuating element.
