Abstract
In a locking system particularly suitable for a motor vehicle for use with unidirectional electrical motors, there is interposed between motors of the system and locking elements individually driven by said motors, a driving mechanism including a driven member coupled with each of the locking elements, an eccentric drive element engaging said driven member to move the locking elements between locking and unlocking positions, and elastic means interposed between the driven member and the eccentric drive element to permit the motors to continue to rotate the eccentric drive element when movement of any one of the locking elements is obstructed.
