  • Patent number: 12655662
    Abstract: A bonnet lock comprising: a locking mechanism having a catch and at least one pawl; a lock holder; and a release lever; wherein the locked locking mechanism can be unlocked by means of the release lever, and wherein the lock holder can be transferred from a latching position into a support position after the release lever is actuated for a first time and the lock holder can be held in the support position by means of a safety catch, and the lock holder can be transferred into a release position after the release lever is actuated for a second time, wherein the safety catch can be pivoted in the latching position such that the safety catch can be pivoted into a lowered position with respect to a support position.

  • Publication number: 20250369261
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle locking device, in particular a motor vehicle lock and preferably a motor vehicle bonnet lock. The motor vehicle locking device is equipped with a locking mechanism (2, 3) which consists substantially of a rotary latch (2) and a pawl (3). Furthermore, a lock case (7) is provided for mounting the locking mechanism (2, 3). The lock case (7) is designed to be deformable in response to forces (F) that are acting thereon and those caused by acceleration, for example in the event of a crash. According to the invention, above a certain force (F) the deformable lock case (7) rests against the locking mechanism (2, 3) in order to increase a common section modulus.
