  • Patent number: 11377879
    Abstract: A motor vehicle latch, in particular a motor vehicle side-door latch, comprising a latch plate and comprising a locking mechanism which is mounted on the latch plate and consists substantially of a catch and pawl. The latch plate has an inlet jaw for a latch holder that enters therein and interacts with the locking mechanism. The inlet jaw is reinforced by a circumferential flange. According to the invention, the flange has at least one interruption which completely or partially reduces its installation height in order to compensate for deformations of the latch plate caused by tensile forces.

  • Patent number: 8235428
    Abstract: A lock unit for a vehicle includes a rotatable catch biased in an opening direction about a catch rotation axis toward an open position of the lock unit in which a first recess of the catch is configured to receive a striker of the vehicle. Additionally, the catch includes a second recess disposed before the first recess in the opening direction. A pawl including a slot rotatable about a fixed pawl pivot axis is biased toward both the catch and the pawl pivot axis. The pawl includes a blocking arm which extends into the second recess of the catch when the lock unit is in a secondary latched position. A blocking lever of a ratchet abuts the blocking arm of the pawl against the catch in a primary latched position of the lock unit preventing rotation of the pawl away from the catch. When the lock unit is forced from the secondary latched position to the primary latched position, the pawl moves in a longitudinal direction of the slot avoiding the rotational blocking action of the ratchet.
