  • Patent number: 9074393
    Abstract: A motor vehicle lock having the locking elements lock catch and pawl (1) and having a lock mechanism (2), it being possible for the lock mechanism (2) to be moved into different functional states such as “unlocked”, “locked”, “anti-theft locked” or “child-safety locked” and with the lock mechanism (2), for this purpose, having at least one functional element (3) which can be adjusted into corresponding functional positions. The invention proposes mounting the functional element (3) in a subregion, in particular an end region, of the functional element (3) with a bearing arrangement (3a) such that the rest of the functional element (3) can be adjusted both in the lateral direction and in the vertical direction, in each case substantially perpendicular to its longitudinal extent, in relation to a reference plane (R) in any case.

  • Publication number: 20070138802
    Abstract: A motor vehicle lock with a latch and an assigned ratchet, an opening drive for motorized lifting of the ratchet, a flexible traction mechanism and a guide pulley which is located on the ratchet or on a rocker arm which is assigned to the ratchet, the traction mechanism being coupled by drive engineering on its first end to the opening drive and the traction mechanism being guided via the guide pulley. The traction mechanism together with the guide pulley provides a pulley arrangement to lift the ratchet. An emergency actuation arrangement is provided for manually lifting the ratchet and a second end of the traction mechanism is coupled by drive engineering to the emergency actuation arrangement.
