Abstract: The anti-pinch protection device comprises a proximity sensor for detecting an obstacle, which penetrates the door gap between a hinge-side edge of the side door and a further vehicle component adjacent thereto. The anti-pinch protection device further comprises a control unit interacting with the proximity sensor, which is designed to output a signal indicating an imminent pinching situation whenever the proximity sensor detects an obstacle in the door gap during the closing of the side door. At least one component of the proximity sensor is thereby arranged on the inside of the further vehicle component.

Abstract: A lock module for fitting in a motor vehicle door. The lock module compensates for structural tolerances and makes it possible to span large assembly gaps. This is achieved through a lock module for a motor vehicle door having a lock and a bearing bracket connected to the lock for supporting a door outside handle of the vehicle door. The lock and the bearing bracket are connected together through an adapter, the adapter and the bearing bracket are connected by a first sliding connection relatively displaceable along a first sliding direction and the lock and the adapter are connected by a second sliding connection displaceable along a second sliding direction, and the two sliding directions are arranged at an angle to each other.
