Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock comprising a locking mechanism that essentially consists of a rotary latch and a pawl. In addition, a lock retainer interacting with the locking mechanism is produced, which is introduced into the locking mechanism in order to achieve the closed position and rests on a load arm of the rotary latch in the closed position of the locking mechanism. According to the invention, the load arm is provided with a force deflection contour for the lock retainer. The force deflection contour changes a force direction acting on the load arm from the lock retainer, at least in the event of an excessive impact of the lock retainer.

Abstract: A method for producing a composite component and to a composite component for a motor vehicle locking system, consisting of a plastic material and a metal material, the composite component being producible from granules of a plastic material with at least one metal additive admixed thereto.

Abstract: A drive unit for motor vehicle applications, in particular to a locking system drive unit. The latter has an enclosure consisting substantially of a housing and cover. In addition, an electric motor is realized inside the enclosure. The electric motor is receiving with its two motor bearings in associated cutouts in the housing and is fixed by joining together the housing and the cover. According to the invention, the housing and/or the cover have/has fixing anchors in a central region that are arranged on both sides of the cutouts.

Abstract: A method for the production of printed surfaces which are fluorescent under ultraviolet (UV) light uses either a single color or four-color print process in which the base colors of yellow, blue and red and special color tones contain fluorescent pigments, which are not visible under normal light but visible under UV light, in a fixed ratio to the pigments which are colorfast under high intensity light. The method of this invention can be carried out easily to apply and the numerous printing steps previously required are avoided. One advantage is that pictures printed with fluorescent colors appear to give a complete three-dimensional effect at night under UV light with an authentic stepless color reproduction of all tones when daylight effect.
