Patent number: 12006740Abstract: The disclosure relates to a vehicle lock having a locking mechanism, a lock mechanism and an electrical setting arrangement, wherein the setting arrangement has a rotor arrangement, and a stator, wherein the stator forms at least two magnetic, unlike stator poles of the stator magnet arrangement, wherein at least one of the magnet arrangements is associated with a coil arrangement, wherein by supplying current to the coil arrangement and a resulting magnetic interaction between rotor and stator, a drive torque to the rotor and thus an adjustment of the rotor can be generated in a predetermined number of actuator positions. Proposed is that the rotor magnet arrangement and the stator magnet arrangement are stationarily fixed to a support section of the motor vehicle lock, and the rotor is pivotable about a rotor axis relative to the support section and relative to the rotor magnet arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Brose Schliesssysteme GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7905523Abstract: A motor vehicle lock with a latch and an associated ratchet and a motor for opening the ratchet. The motor vehicle lock has a flexible traction device which directly or indirectly connects the motor to the ratchet and which is wound up by the motor for opening the ratchet and which can be unwound by spring force when the motor is turned off.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2004Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Brose Schliesssysteme GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7416229Abstract: A motor vehicle lock with a latch and a ratchet, the latch being movable out of a fully latched position into a release position and vice versa, and the ratchet being movable out of an engagement position which keeps the latch in the fully latched position into a raised position which releases the latch, and optionally, into an overtravel position and vice versa. To achieve reliable opening, a forced opening mechanism is provide which is actuated by the movement of the ratchet or of the drive which moves the ratchet, and the ratchet or the drive causes the forced opening mechanism to positively engages the latch or an element which is dynamically connected to the latch so as to forcibly move the latch toward the release position.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2005Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Brose Schliesssysteme GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20060075841Abstract: An actuator for a motor vehicle has a drive motor, an actuating element and a blocking element. The blocking element can be deflected by the actuating element, against pretensioning, into a blocking position in which the blocking element blocks further movement of the actuating element. For this deflection, the blocking element is equipped with a tappet and the actuating element is equipped with a power transmission element. The actuating element is equipped with a stop and the blocking element is equipped with an counter-stop for blocking. Before the blocking is produced, the power transmission element releases the tappet, and after release, the blocking element, driven by its pretensioning, causes its counter-stop to fall onto the stop of the actuating element in a catch position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2005Publication date: April 13, 2006Applicant: Brose Schliesssysteme GmbH & Co.
