  • Patent number: 10519700
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a locking mechanism consisting substantially of a rotary latch and a pawl. A triggering element is additionally provided in order to lift the pawl and thereby open the locking mechanism. The motor vehicle door lock finally comprises an accumulator element which is impinged upon by a spring and which holds the pawl in the lifted position until the rotary latch is opened. According to the invention, the spring and the accumulator element form one component. Furthermore, the spring and the accumulator element are designed as a spring lip which impinges upon the trigger element.

  • Patent number: 10358848
    Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention is a motor vehicle door lock, the basic construction of which is equipped with a locking mechanism (1, 2) consisting essentially of a rotary latch (1) and a detent pawl (2), furthermore with a release element (3) for the locking mechanism (1, 2) and with a storage element (4). The storage element (4) ensures an unobstructed opening movement of the rotary latch (1) from a closed position into an open position. According to the invention, for this purpose, the storage element (4) holds the release element (3) during the opening movement of the rotary latch (1) in an ineffective position with respect to the locking mechanism (1, 2).
