A motor vehicle having a motor vehicle lock which is paired with a movable door element and which comprises a locking mechanism consisting of a rotary latch and at least one pawl. In an open position of the locking mechanism, at least one part of an inlet region for a lock holder can be released. The motor vehicle also has an actuation means which is arranged in the free inlet region, wherein the actuation means forms at least one part of an energy power supply of the motor vehicle lock.

Motor vehicle with a motor vehicle lock

A motor vehicle lock housing arrangement which is equipped with at least one lock housing and one carrier housing. The lock housing is designed to receive at least one locking-mechanism-side component, such as an actuator. The carrier housing has at least one electronics carrier. The lock housing and the carrier housing are connected together in a media-tight manner. According to the invention, the carrier housing and the electronics carrier define a pre-assembled structural unit, which is coupled modularly to the lock housing with at least one seal interposed.

Motor vehicle lock housing arrangement

A motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism essentially consisting of a rotary latch and a pawl. Furthermore, an actuating lever chain for the locking mechanism is provided. The actuating lever chain has at least one actuating lever, a coupling element, and a trigger lever on the locking mechanism side. Furthermore, an inertia element is also provided for acting on the coupling element at least in the event of a crash. According to the invention, the coupling element is disengaged during normal operation and is only engaged in the event of a crash by means of the inertia element.

A motor vehicle lock comprising a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl, wherein the rotary latch can be engaged in at least one engaging position by means of the pawl, a release lever, wherein the locking mechanism can be transferred from the engaging positions into a release position by means of the release lever, and an electrical drive unit for actuating the release lever. According to the invention, the pawl and the actuation lever and the release lever are accommodated in the motor vehicle lock such that they can swivel about a central axis.

A motor vehicle lock comprising a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl, wherein the rotary latch can be latched in at least one latching position by means of the pawl; a release lever, wherein the locking mechanism can be transferred from the latching position into a release position by means of the release lever; and an electric drive unit for actuating the release lever, wherein the locking mechanism is arranged in a wet region of the motor vehicle lock, and at least part of the actuating mechanism for unlocking the locking mechanism is arranged in a dry region of the motor vehicle lock.

A drive unit for motor vehicle applications, in particular motor vehicle closing devices. The drive unit comprises an electric motor and at least one drive element driven by the electric motor. In addition, an actuation lever that cooperates with the drive element is provided. The drive element and/or the actuation lever are advantageously designed to be able to rotate about an axis. A rotatably mounted intermediate element is provided between the drive element and the actuation lever. According to the invention, the intermediate element is in the form of a friction-reducing rolling element.

Drive unit for motor vehicle applications

A door lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock. This lock is provided with a locking mechanism substantially formed by a rotary latch and at least one pawl. A lever chain is also provided for directly or indirectly acting on the locking mechanism. The lever chain has at least one actuation lever and an actuated lever optionally acted upon by the actuation lever. In addition, at least one damping element is created for the lever chain. According to the invention, the damping element is arranged on the actuation lever and/or the actuated lever.

Door lock, in particular motor vehicle door lock
