Abstract: A plastic housing for a motor vehicle component and to a method for mounting a motor vehicle component having a plastic housing, a housing opening closed by at least one plastic film and a mechanism arranged in an interior of the housing, in which the mechanism is mounted, the housing is then closed and the mechanism is subsequently actuated through the housing opening, and in which the housing opening is sealed again after the actuation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, with a locking mechanism consisting of a rotary latch and a pawl, wherein, in the closed state of the locking mechanism, the pawl bears with the locking contour thereof against a latching contour of the rotary latch, wherein the locking contour is formed in two parts with a retaining contour and a rolling contour.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a lock housing (1) and at least one lever (2) that is arranged in the lock (1) and projects through an opening (4) at least partially out of the lock (1), wherein the lever (2) is formed as a pivot lever (2) which is movable along the opening (4) and mounted in the interior and/or on the lock housing (1) and the opening (4) is equipped with at least one seal (6) that, for the most part, closes an opening gap (5).

Abstract: A motor vehicle door latch mechanism, comprising a circuit arrangement with at least one sensor (9, 10, 11, 12) and with at least one connected control unit (6, 7), wherein the sensor (9, 10, 11, 12) has two or more switch states, and wherein two different control units (6, 7) are connected to the sensor (9, 10, 11, 12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a ratchet mechanism, a tripping lever for opening the ratchet mechanism and a ratchet lever that is pivotable about an axis. The ratchet lever renders the ratchet mechanism ineffective, at least with regard to the magnitude and direction of occurring retarding forces, for example in an accident (“in the event of a crash”) ineffective. According to the invention the ratchet lever is connected to an actuating lever applying force to a tripping lever in such an articulated manner that both levers together in the normal operation describe a predetermined normal actuation track (R1) without mechanical blocking and in the crash operation describe a crash actuation track (R2) deviating from the normal actuation track (R1) while simultaneously a mechanical blocking occurs.

Abstract: A procedure for the application of a seal (3) onto a surface of a device housing (1,2) for a motor vehicle, especially a motor vehicle door lock housing surface, comprising the following procedural steps: the surface is at least partially cleaned and/or micro structured by a heat source (4) restricted in area; and a sealant is applied to areas of the surface treated in such a way.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a circuit arrangement having at least one sensor (5) and a connected control unit (7), wherein the sensor (5) has at least two switching states (“open” and “closed”), which correspond to varying current intensity (I1; I2) at the output of said sensor and are detected by the control unit (7), and the two switching states (“open” and “closed”) of the sensor (5) belong to different current paths (6a; 6a, 6b) of a line network (6) and/or to different voltage states of an output line.
