A locking device for a flap or door of a motor vehicle contains, in addition to the conventional flap or door lock which is unlockable and lockable by a lock cylinder, an additional bolt acting in parallel with the lock on a closing member of the same flap or door. The bolt is prestressed by a spring in the direction of its securing position and is movable mechanically in the direction of its release position by the lock cylinder via a linkage with a free-play connection.

Motor vehicle closure locking device

A motor veicle compartment closure lock with a locking wedge (2) attached on the closure, and lock elements attached on an opening frame for the closure. The locking wedge (2) can be retracted, in a powered way, from an extended, open position into a pushed-in, locked position and, for this purpose, is coupled by a lever mechanism (3) to a power transmission element (5) with a powered drive. The powered drive can be built especially small and light because the drive is made as a drive that operates only in one direction (locking direction) and returns automatically in the opposite direction. Power transmission element (5) is slaved or can be slaved to the locking wedge (2) in the locking direction and moves freely in the opposite direction. A shifting lever (6) is provided that is carried by the power transmission element (5) in the locking direction and is spring-loaded in the opposite direction. The shifting lever has an engaging part (7) that moves in a shifting link (8), and the engaging part (7) can be brought by a movement in the locking direction, from an open rest stop (9), to lie against a locking stop (10) and can be brought, by renewed movement in the locking direction, from the locking stop (10) back again to the open rest stop (9).

Vehicle hood or door lock

An actuating device is provided for closing and opening a door or lid lock and correspondingly switching a light on and off during the opening and closing of the door or lid. This actuating device also makes it possible to switch off the light permanently when the door or lid is open, because the switch is switchable indirectly per se as a result of movements of a rotary latch and can be switched manually into its switch-off position independently of the actuating device.

Actuating device for an electrical switch

A preassemblable cylinder lock/actuator subassembly of a central locking system is designed so that, at the same time as the actuator is necessarily fastened to a lock carrier in the correct position, the actuating member of the actuator is coupled in a functionally reliable way to a lock operating lever.

Cylinder lock/actuator subassembly

A lock assembly is disclosed for locking pivotable hoods, flaps or the like of motor vehicles, which lock assembly has a displaceable closing cylinder, a handle key, a detent pawl and a rotary latch. To ensure that a closure of this type is adjusted quickly and accurately during assembly, the closing cylinder and handle key on the one hand and the detent pawl and rotary latch on the other hand are arranged in separate housings, and the two housings have guides in which they are displaceable relative to one another on overcoming a frictional force.
