A motor vehicle lock having a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, comprising an electric drive unit. The drive unit interacts at least indirectly with the locking mechanism, and the drive unit has an electric motor with an output shaft and an output means secured to the output shaft, wherein means for guiding and/or binding a lubricant are arranged between the electric motor and the output means.

Motor vehicle lock

With the present invention, actuators known from the prior art are supposed to be developed further. For this purpose, an actuator comprises, in particular, an electric motor and a locking bar that can be moved by means of the electric motor. Moreover, the actuator comprises a lever with which the locking bar can be moved back mechanically out of its locking position. The invention moreover relates to a charging socket for an electrically driven motor vehicle. As is already known from a motor vehicle driven by an electric motor and an outlet provided in a private household, the electrical contacts of the charging socket are located protected in one or more recess(es). Into these recess(es), contacts of a charging plug which correspond therewith and are, for example, pin or rod-shaped, can be pushed for contacting. An adjacent, in particular peripherally extending, housing is provided around the one or more recess(es). A gap-shaped space, which in particular extends peripherally around the recess(es) and into which a housing of a charging plug corresponding therewith can be pushed, thus remains between the recess(es) and the adjacent housing. An actuating element with a locking bar is attached on the outside of the adjacent housing. For locking a charging plug, the locking bar can be moved by the actuating element into the adjacent housing through a corresponding opening.

Actuator for a motor vehicle and locking device and method

A motor vehicle door lock having a locking device (), at least one actuating element () and a catch (), and having a coupling unit () between the actuating element () and the catch (), in which the locking device () when in the 'locked' position can be unlocked by a first traveling movement (unlocking traveling movement) of the actuating element () and the catch () can be opened by a second traveling movement (opening traveling movement) of the actuating element (), wherein the locking device () has a drive element () which acts directly upon the coupling unit ().

Motor vehicle door lock

Taught is motor vehicle door latch with at least one locking mechanism () comprising a catch (); a pawl (); a friction brake device (); an end stop (); and at least one cam (). The friction brake device () cooperates with the cam () during the closing movement of the locking mechanisms () and shortly before said friction brake device () reaches the end stop (). The cam () and the catch () each comprise means for reducing noise associated with the closing movement of the locking mechanisms ().

Motor vehicle door latch

A motor vehicle door latch having a locking mechanism () and a base housing (). The locking mechanism () is optionally lodged in connection with other lock components () in the base housing () and forms a base module () with the base housing. The base module () is designed to receive a complementary module () with a drive mechanism () for opening the locking mechanism ().
