Abstract
A locking mechanism ( ) is produced for holding a sliding door in the open position and has a Bowden cable ( ) which acts on its locking element ( ), a moving-carriage support ( ) and a moving carriage ( ), which move relative to one another during the closing of the door. In order to disengage the door handles from the locking mechanism when the sliding door is closed and therefore in order to reduce the actuating forces for unlocking the door lock, the moving-carriage support ( ), during the closing movement, shifts a driver ( ) which is guided on the moving carriage ( ) and carries along the locking element ( ) in the direction of its unlocking position. By this, the Bowden cable ( ) is moved in its actuating direction, thereby enabling the door handles to be disengaged.
