Abstract: A motor vehicle lock with a blocking element (2), with a electrical opening drive (3) for the blocking element (2), with control electronics (8) in the motor vehicle lock or separately from it in the motor vehicle, by which individual functions of the motor vehicle lock can be electrically triggered, and a lock mechanism by which individual functions can also be mechanically triggered. The opening drive (3) has a drive element (6) which can be driven in two opposing directions of motion, movement of the drive element in the first direction of motion releases or open the blocking element (2) and movement in the second direction of motion turns on (or off) the second function of the motor vehicle lock. The lock has an especially simple structure since turning off the second function takes place without moving the opening drive (3) in the second direction of motion exclusively by electrical control.

Abstract: Motor vehicle door locking system with at least one motor vehicle lock, the motor vehicle lock being made to be locked and unlocked by motor and optionally also opened by a motor, with a motor vehicle-side control and with an operator-side mobile part, the control and the mobile part each being equipped with communications electronics and thus a bidirectional wireless link can be set up between the control and the mobile part, over the wireless link, at least one system function of the motor vehicle door locking system being triggerable by the mobile part, and the wireless link between the control and the mobile part being a wireless link according to the Bluetooth industrial standard.

Abstract: A motor vehicle hatch lock or the like, with a latch which is pivotable around an axis, with a ratchet which is pivotable around another axis, and with an actuator, the actuator having an actuating element with the engagement element located thereon. By actuating the actuator out of the initial position in a first direction the ratchet is raised by the actuating element for an opening assistance function, and by actuating the actuator out of the initial position in a second direction opposite the first direction, the actuating element is coupled to the latch and the latch is moved from the pre-catch position into the main catch position for a closing assistance function with the actuating element being coupled to the latch by a step-down gear.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock mechanism with a drive and an operating lever, the drive including a motor and a symmetrical actuating element. The actuating element engages the operating lever so that the operating lever can be moved by the drive into different operating states. The actuating element has a number of guide tracks which correspond to a number of initial positions that are equivalent with respect to the operating state of the operating lever. The operating lever comprises a journal that fits into the guide tracks is movable by the actuating element from a first operating state into a second operating state out of an initial position. If the adjustment motion of the actuating element is not completed and the actuating element is in an intermediate position, the operating lever is manually resettable into the first operating state, into one or another of the initial positions depending on the position of the actuating element relative to first and second sides of a turning point.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock with latching elements, such as a latch and a ratchet and with a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism has a drive, the drive having a drive motor, or the like, and an actuating element. The ratchet can be raised by the drive, so that the ratchet moves into an action area of the drive, such that continued motion of the drive is blocked by the ratchet. Thus, the drive can be turned off in a blocking operation. The ratchet, viewed in the kinematic chain from the drive motor to the actuating element, is engaged to the drive for blocking in front of the actuating element but not on the actuating element.
