Abstract:
A method of forming a motor vehicle door lock includes arranging a lever, providing an electric drive that pivots the lever to place the motor vehicle door lock in an open state and includes a motor and a wheel gear that is driven by the motor and has a circumferential face, forming at least one damping stop on the wheel gear that protrudes axially from the circumferential face of the wheel gear and extends from the circumferential face toward a stop plane that is spaced from and parallel to an actuating plane in which the wheel gear and the lever are rotatable, providing a housing stop surface that is engageable by the damping stop along the stop plane in a rotational direction of the wheel gear, and forming the damping stop and the wheel gear as a single piece using a two-component injection molding process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a ratchet mechanism, at least one actuation lever for triggering the ratchet mechanism and a ratchet lever that is pivotable about an axis. The ratchet lever renders the ratchet mechanism ineffective, at least with regard to the magnitude and direction of occurring retarding forces, for example in the event of an accident (“in the event of a crash”). According to the invention the ratchet lever is mounted eccentrically on the axis thereof and thereby produces in dependence of the occurring retarding forces a counter-torque that blocks the actuation lever.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle, comprising a locking mechanism that includes a rotary catch and a pawl and position detection means. The aim of the invention is to further develop a lock of said type. Said aim can be achieved in that the locking mechanism of the claimed lock comprises position detection means which can be actuated by a lever which can influence the position of a pawl. As said lever is generally arranged particularly close to a housing wall for the lock, electrical conductor tracks of the position detection means are reduced. Alternatively or supplementary, position detection means are arranged outside of a rotary plane of the rotary latch and/or the pawl which can be actuated by the position detection. Normally, a space is provided outside of the respective rotary plane. Said space is therefore used in addition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a lock, in particular for a door or opening element of a motor vehicle. In order to avoid the unplanned opening of the lock in the event of a crash, the invention proposes a lock with a locking mechanism comprising a rotary latch, a pawl for locking the rotary latch in a detent position, preferably a blocking lever for blocking the pawl in the detent position and a release lever for opening the locking mechanism, in particular by lifting the blocking lever out of the blocking position. The lock is provided with a rotation-lock device, by means of which an opening process of the locking mechanism caused by momentum or an impact can be prevented or blocked.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle component support, in particular a motor vehicle door lock (1), and to a method for the production thereof. Said motor vehicle component support is equipped with a strip conductor structure (3) composed of several strip conductors (7). According to the invention, the strip conductor structure (3) comprises at least two conductor strip sub-structures (3a, 3b) which are electrically interconnected by means of at least one connecting element (8) which is applied later.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a ratchet mechanism, a tripping lever for opening the ratchet mechanism and a ratchet lever that is pivotable about an axis. The ratchet lever renders the ratchet mechanism ineffective, at least with regard to the magnitude and direction of occurring retarding forces, for example in an accident (“in the event of a crash”) ineffective. According to the invention the ratchet lever is connected to an actuating lever applying force to a tripping lever in such an articulated manner that both levers together in the normal operation describe a predetermined normal actuation track (R1) without mechanical blocking and in the crash operation describe a crash actuation track (R2) deviating from the normal actuation track (R1) while simultaneously a mechanical blocking occurs.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a locking mechanism, and further comprising an electric drive (5, 6, 7) for the locking mechanism, and at least one stop (12) for the electric drive (5, 6, 7), wherein the stop (12) is designed as a damping stop (12) arranged on the electric drive (5, 6, 7).
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to provide a lock for a motor vehicle, whereby the accidental opening of said lock is prevented. To achieve this aim, a lock comprises a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and a locking pawl for arresting the rotary latch in a latch position. In order to open the lock with minimum effort, an electric drive (1) is provided by means of which drive the locking pawl can be moved directly or indirectly out of its locking position. The lock is further provided with a movable blocking pawl (2), which can impede the electric drive (1) from opening the lock. For the locking mechanism to be electrically opened, the blocking pawl (2) needs to be moved out of its blocking position and the electric drive (1) needs be to actuated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuating device for joint action upon at least two different elements of a motor vehicle door lock, with at least one sheathed cable having a core and sheath, wherein the sheathed cable is provided in the longitudinal extent thereof with at least two force transmission units which are designed for interaction with a first element at one end and with a second element at the other end upon action on the sheathed cable, and one of the two elements is designed as an actuating lever, wherein the other element is a closing/opening element operating on a locking mechanism.
