Abstract: An electric motor drive unit for motor vehicle applications, which is equipped with an electric motor having an output shaft substantially circular in cross-section and with a drive element mounted on the output shaft, preferably made of plastic. The output shaft engages a receiving hole of the drive element defining at least one vent hole. According to the invention, the output shaft has, in one variant, at least in the engagement area of the receiving bore, two ridges that are spaced apart from one another and extend axially. A protrusion of the drive element engages between the ridges for rotational coupling. Furthermore, the two ridges each describe a vent hole on the outer edge.

Abstract: A motor vehicle lock having a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, comprising an electric drive unit. The drive unit interacts at least indirectly with the locking mechanism, and the drive unit has an electric motor with an output shaft and an output means secured to the output shaft, wherein means for guiding and/or binding a lubricant are arranged between the electric motor and the output means.

Abstract: With the present invention, actuators known from the prior art are supposed to be developed further. For this purpose, an actuator comprises, in particular, an electric motor and a locking bar that can be moved by means of the electric motor. Moreover, the actuator comprises a lever with which the locking bar can be moved back mechanically out of its locking position. The invention moreover relates to a charging socket for an electrically driven motor vehicle. As is already known from a motor vehicle driven by an electric motor and an outlet provided in a private household, the electrical contacts of the charging socket are located protected in one or more recess(es). Into these recess(es), contacts of a charging plug which correspond therewith and are, for example, pin or rod-shaped, can be pushed for contacting. An adjacent, in particular peripherally extending, housing is provided around the one or more recess(es).

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuating drive for a motor vehicle. It is an object of the invention to provide a further developed actuating drive. It is sought in particular for the actuating drive, in one embodiment, to have a small installation space and/or to be protected against the infiltration of dust and moisture. To achieve the object, the actuating drive comprises a drive, for example an electric motor for a drive wheel with an internal thread. The external thread of a spindle extends into the internal thread. By correspondingly rotating the wheel, an end of the spindle can be moved out of a housing of the actuating drive proceeding from a retracted state. Proceeding from the deployed state, the end of the spindle can be moved in the direction of the housing by correspondingly rotating the wheel in the opposite direction. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the actuating drive comprises an emergency unlocking device.

Abstract: Taught is motor vehicle door latch with at least one locking mechanism (1, 2) comprising a catch (1); a pawl (2); a friction brake device (10); an end stop (13); and at least one cam (14). The friction brake device (10) cooperates with the cam (14) during the closing movement of the locking mechanisms (1, 2) and shortly before said friction brake device (10) reaches the end stop (13). The cam (14) and the catch (1) each comprise means for reducing noise associated with the closing movement of the locking mechanisms (1, 2).

Abstract: A motor vehicle door latch having a locking mechanism (1, 2) and a base housing (6). The locking mechanism (1, 2) is optionally lodged in connection with other lock components (3, 4, 5) in the base housing (6) and forms a base module (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) with the base housing. The base module (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) is designed to receive a complementary module (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) with a drive mechanism (8, 9, 10, 11) for opening the locking mechanism (1, 2).

Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock with a lock mechanism including actuation mechanism which is manually-actuated to actuate a trigger mechanism to a coupled position via a coupling mechanism. A coupling element is engaged by a displacement mechanism which is manually or electronically actuated from the coupled position into an uncoupled position and vice versa when the actuation mechanism is not actuated. When the coupling element is in the uncoupled state and the actuation mechanism is actuated, the coupling element is moved into an intermediate storage position by actuating an adjustment mechanism. A spring element tensions the coupling element into the storage position when the coupling element is shifted. A structural simplification is achieved with the same functionality in that the spring element is an integrated component with the coupling element.

Abstract: A motor vehicle lock with lock elements, such as a rotary latch (2) and a detent pawl (3), and with a lock mechanism for controlled actuation of the detent pawl (3). The lock mechanism has a detent pawl lever (5), an inside actuation lever (7), a coupling lever (9) which couples the inside actuation lever (7) to the detent pawl lever (5) or decouples from it, and a central interlock lever (11). The central interlock lever (11), on the one hand, can be moved by a central interlock drive into the released position and the locked position, and on the other hand, can be mechanically moved out of the locked position into the release position by actuating the inside actuation lever. The coupling lever (9) can be moved via the anti-theft lever (12) into the coupling position and the decoupling anti-theft position. The pivot axis (8) of the coupling lever (9) is arranged on the inside actuation lever (7), at a distance from the pivot axis (8) of the inside actuation lever (7), and is not mounted on the lock housing.
