Abstract: A striker unit for a motor vehicle includes a base plate that can be connected to a body part of the motor vehicle, a retaining bracket, a bracket plate for mounting the retaining bracket, and an elastic element that is arranged between the base plate and the bracket plate. The base plate and the bracket plate can additionally be connected to one another through a second and/or third positive locking and/or frictional connection.

Abstract: The invention relates to a latch that comprises a lock and a closing part (10). Said lock comprises a catch (15), a click (20) equipped with an adjusting arm (21) and a motorised opening aid (30). Said catch (15) comprises a receiving element for the closing part (10) and at least one stop notch (17) for engaging the click (20). The opening aid (30) is equipped with an eccentric (40) that is driven by a motor, whereby the eccentric curve interacts with a lateral adjusting surface of the adjusting arm (21) and ensures that the clink (20) is displaced in a motorised manner from its locked position in the stop notch (17) into an elevated position. In order to prevent problems in the latch, an end segment (42) of the eccentric (40) and/or the adjusting arm (21) of the clink (20) is elastic.

Abstract: A closing mechanism with a lock which contains both a rotatably supported latch and a pivotably supported pawl, which is spring-loaded toward the latch. The latch is in an open position when the door is open, and, when the door is being closed, it moves first into a prelatching position, in which the pawl engages with a prelatching notch on the latch. A closing aid moves the latch from its prelatching position into a main latching position, in which the pawl is supported on the main latching notch of the latch. When the door is opened, before the release or during the release, the closing aid be activated again not in the same direction as the preceding closing movement but rather in the opposite direction. As a result, the same component, namely, the closing aid, is used to move the latch gradually and gently back into its open position.

Abstract: In a lock fitted with a rotary latch (30), a detent (40) is provided that can engage inside a preliminary catch and inside a main catch (32) of the rotary latch (30). The rotary latch (30) receives a locking part and can be transferred either manually or by means of a motor between an open position, a preliminary catch position and a main catch position (30.2). The motor-driven displacement ensues via a closing aid or an opening aid. In order to obtain a space-saving design, the invention provides that a locking lever (10) is eccentrically mounted on the rotary latch (30) and is held in a central position by an impulse spring whereby functioning as a closing aid. A stationary, rotationally mounted driving element (50) serves an opening aid, and an opening lever (20) is rotationally mounted on this driving element. This opening lever (20) is also held in a central position by an impulse spring.

Abstract: A locking device for a movable carbody part has a lock and an interacting locking member. The lock has a rotary latch with pre-catch, main catch, and recess. When closing the carbody part, the locking member moves into the recess and rotates the rotary latch into a pre-catch position in which a pawl drops into the pre-catch. A motor-driven closing aid has a working lever and a control lever that are pivotably supported within the lock and have crossing slider block guides. The same slider block is guided in both slider block guides. When the working lever is pivoted by the motor of the closing aid, a shoulder of the slider block hits a counter shoulder of the rotary latch and rotates the rotary latch from the pre-catch position into a main catch position in which the pawl is supported on the main catch of the rotary latch.
