Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock includes a rotary latch which in a locking position encompasses a locking element that is pre-tensioned in a direction of an open position releasing the locking element. A pawl is in engagement with the rotary latch such that the latch is inhibited from moving towards the open position. A coupling section of the pawl is coupled to a drive element which moves the pawl between an engagement position and a release position, the release position allowing the rotary latch to move toward the open position. A force is applied to the pawl only in the engagement position thereof and the force application holds the pawl in engagement with the rotary latch.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door latch includes a rotary latch which encompasses a closing element when in the closed position, and is preloaded toward an open position of the closing element. A safety catch is engaged with the rotary latch so that the rotary latch is prevented from moving toward the open position. A coupling section of the safety catch is dynamically coupled with a drive element and moves the safety catch between the engagement position and a releasing position so that the rotary latch can move toward the open position. The opening sound is reduced to a minimum. The drive element moves the safety catch from the engagement position toward the releasing position so that the rotary latch, which is still engaged with the safety catch during such movement, moves toward the open position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mounting at least one lever (20). The device comprising a housing (10), in which the lever (20) can be received at least regionally. Furthermore, a bearing support (30) having a bearing axis (31) is provided, about which the lever (20) is pivotally mounted. The bearing support (30) comprises two bearing elements (21, 11), that is a first bearing element (21) which is rotationally fixed to the lever (20) and a second bearing element (11) which is arranged on the housing (10) in a rotationally fixed manner. According to the invention, the second bearing element (11) is integral with the housing (10). Furthermore, a securing member (40) is provided, which secures both bearing elements (21, 11) in the assembled position thereof. Both bearing elements (21, 11) are only held together by a pure positive engagement taking into consideration the securing member (40).

Abstract: The invention relates to a closure in which a lock interacts with a closing element (10). The lock comprises a stationary, rotationally mounted (14) catch (15) that can be pivoted between an open position (15.1), a preliminary locking position (15.2) and a main locking position (15.3). The lock also comprises a pawl (30) and several sensors (51-53) that monitor various working positions of the lock element. In order to improve the control of the lock, the rotary catch (15) is associated with two separate pawls (20, 30), one of said pawls acting as preliminary catch pawl (20) and only engages with the preliminary catch element (17), whilst the other pawl acts as the main catch pawl (30) and only engages with the main catch element (18). Two sensors (51, 52) are provided, one of which (52) engages directly or indirectly with the main catch pawl (30) and the other (51) engages directly or indirectly with the preliminary catch pawl (20) and monitors the catch engagement position (20.2, 30.

Abstract: According to the invention, when the door is locked, a locking part (10) is displaced into a rotary latch (20), which is first pivoted from its open position into a preliminary detent position. The rotary latch (20) is spring-loaded (25) in the direction of its open position and is usually supported on a catch (30) by means of an initial detent section (21). The rotary latch (20) is then rotated further by means of a motor-driven closing aid with the aid of a drive mechanism (53) and an eccentric element (50), until it reaches a primary detent position, in which the catch (30) rests on a primary detent section of the rotary latch (20). To obtain a reliable lock that can be universally used, a toggle-joint lever pair (40) and a spring-loaded follower (33) are provided between the eccentric element (50) and the rotary latch (20).
