Patents by Inventor Rolf Siemensmeyer

Rolf Siemensmeyer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11624216
    Abstract: A motor vehicle lock includes a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, an actuating lever which can directly or indirectly unlock the locking mechanism, and at least one Bowden cable. The Bowden cable, in particular the Bowden pull cable, has a spherical-shaped end piece and the end piece can be connected to the actuating lever. The Bowden cable is housed in the motor vehicle lock so it can rotate.

  • Patent number: 11536055
    Abstract: A closing device for a motor vehicle includes a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl, a trigger lever, with the locking mechanism being unlocked by the trigger lever, and a blocking component which is arranged on the closing device for blocking a movement of the trigger lever when a load acts on the motor vehicle from the outside. The blocking component can be guided in the closing device in a movable manner.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9109380
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock is provided with a catch with an actuating-lever mechanism which acts on the catch. There is also a locking lever which, together with the actuating lever, renders the actuating-lever mechanism inactive when accelerating forces of predetermined magnitude occur, for example in the event of a crash. The actuating lever and locking lever disable the actuating-lever mechanism mechanically, as a result of the accelerating forces occurring, by associated deflection. Following dissipation of the accelerating forces, the actuating lever and locking lever reconnect the actuating-lever mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20130056997
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor-vehicle door lock which is provided with a catch (2,3), with an actuating-lever mechanism (5, 6) which acts on the catch (2, 3). There is also a locking lever (7) which, together with the actuating lever (5), renders the actuating-lever mechanism (5, 6) inactive when accelerating forces of predetermined magnitude occur, for example in the event of a crash. According to the invention, the actuating lever (5) and locking lever (7) disable the actuating-lever mechanism (5, 6) mechanically, as a result of the accelerating forces occurring, by associated deflection. Following dissipation of the accelerating forces, the actuating lever (5) and locking lever (7) reconnect the actuating-lever mechanism (5, 6).
