Abstract: Improved vibration damping in a closing bar of a motor vehicle body lock makes use of a bar which is arranged on a bar plate and which is designed to be movable from a rest position in a working direction and is operatively connected to a counter bearing. A base plate is attached to a motor vehicle body. In the event of a movement of the bar from the rest position, in which the bar has a first rigidity, to a first functional position, which represents the operating state of the closing bar, the counter bearing has a second rigidity, which is lower than the first rigidity, and a third rigidity, which is greater than the second rigidity, in a second functional position, which represents a highly dynamic acceleration of the motor vehicle body lock.

Abstract: A lock striker of a motor vehicle body lock includes a striker plate, crash securing means, and a striker. The striker is arranged on the striker plate. The striker has a striker section which is configured to admit a load. The striker plate has a first striker plate section which is configured to be connected to a body component. The striker plate has a second striker plate section on which the striker is arranged. The first striker plate section and the second striker plate section are elastically connected to one another. At least one aperture is situated in the second striker plate section between the first striker limb and the second striker limb. The crash securing means is formed with a first end fastened to the first striker plate section and with a second end which is situated in the aperture in a contact-free manner outside a crash situation and, in a crash situation, so as to bear against the second striker plate section.

The striker plate has a first striker plate section which is configured to be connected to a body component. The striker plate has a second striker plate section on which the striker is arranged. The first striker plate section and the second striker plate section are connected to one another. A stiffness of the striker plate in the direction of the load is less than in a direction orthogonal to the load.

Abstract: A lock striker of a motor vehicle body lock includes a striker and at least one additional mass. The striker is arranged on a striker plate. The striker has a striker section which is configured to admit a load. The striker plate has a first striker plate section which is configured to be connected to a body component. The striker plate has a second striker plate section on which the striker is arranged. The first striker plate section and the second striker plate section are connected to one another. The first striker plate section and the second striker plate section are spaced apart from one another so as to form a receiving space in which a damping means is situated. The at least one additional mass is arranged on the second striker plate section and/or on that region of the striker which is adjacent to said second striker plate section.
