A motor vehicle lock includes a lock latch, at least one pawl, an electric drive arrangement, and a drive controller. The drive controller controls the drive arrangement to carry out an opening movement that adjusts an adjusting arrangement of the lock from a starting position to a raising position of the adjusting arrangement, in which the adjusting arrangement raises the pawl. A clutch arrangement is arranged between an actuating lever and the pawl, wherein, in an intermediate position, the adjusting arrangement shifts, in the opening movement, the clutch arrangement out of the disengaging state into the engaging state, before the adjusting arrangement raises the pawl when the raising position is reached. In an unlocking routine, the controller controls the drive arrangement to start the opening movement, and, responsive to an intermediate position criterion representative being met, modifies the control such that the adjusting arrangement does not reach the raising position.

Motor vehicle lock

The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle with a locking mechanism comprising a catch (), a first-position pawl (), a primary-position pawl (), a blocking lever for blocking the primary-position pawl, and a driver for the first-position pawl, wherein the driver is a lateral contour area of the first-position pawl () and functions to rotate the primary-position pawl out of its notched position.

Lock having restricted guidance for a pawl

The invention relates to a lock for a flap or a door, with a lock housing, a locking mechanism consisting of a rotary latch () and at least one pawl (), and at least one spring () which is capable of pivoting a pivotable component of the lock from a starting position in the direction of an end position by means of spring force, characterized in that the spring () is held by a bearing stud () which is connected integrally to the lock housing () of the lock, and wherein the bearing stud has a stop () for the spring, and/or wherein the bearing stud () is connected integrally to the stop (), wherein the stop () has the effect that the pivotable component is not spring-loaded in the end position thereof.

Lock for a flap or door

Locking device () comprising at least one locking mechanism () having a catch () and a pivotal first pawl (), the operating lever () being movable so that during its movement the operating lever () interacts with a drive pin () of the first pawl () and a lateral pawl spring () acts between the drive pin () and the operating lever ().

Closing device comprising a detent spring

A motor vehicle lock containing mechanical locking elements and/or latching elements as well as electrical, electromotive, and/or electronic components that interact with the mechanical locking elements and/or latching elements, wherein the electrical, electromotive, and/or electronic components are attached to a part of a housing (), wherein an electric line attached to the part of the housing () is connected to at least one of the electrical, electromotive, and/or electronic components, wherein the electric line comprises a single-strand or multi-strand, flexible cable, wherein a cable path () of the cable () passes through a cable conduit () disposed in the part of the housing (), wherein the cable conduit () comprises a permanently, plastically-deformed material, at least at one side of the cable path (), whereby a deformation (V) in the material immobilizes the cable () in the cable conduit ().

Motor vehicle lock composed of mechanical and electrical, electromotive and/or electronic components

The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle with a locking mechanism including a catch and a pawl. The object of the invention is to simplify the locking of a lock of the type mentioned above. To achieve the object of the invention, a catch of the claimed lock comprises a stop projecting upwards, e.g., in the form of a pin extending from the catch. Furthermore, a bracket is provided, which can be moved against the stop by means of a motor such that the catch is moved in this way from the first position and into the primary position. It is thus possible to move from the first position to the primary position in a motorized manner, which makes it easier to close the vehicle door.

Motor vehicle lock with a self-locking mechanism

A lock unit having at least one catch with a primary position and a first position, as well as a first pawl and a second pawl, wherein the first pawl cooperates with the catch in the primary position and the second pawl cooperates with the catch in the first position, and wherein position detectors are provided for both pawls.

Lock unit comprising two pawls and position detection means

A locking device () comprising at least one locking mechanism () having a catch (), a pivotal first pawl (), and a second pawl (), with which the first pawl () can be blocked from being swiveled. The locking device () further comprises a motor-driven actuating mechanism (), which displaces at least one operating lever () in such a manner that the operating lever (), during its movement cooperates with both pawls () one after the other. The locking device is used to lock or unlock seat backs of motor vehicles.

Closing device comprising two pawls and a motor-driven actuating mechanism

A lock unit () for a motor vehicle, comprising at least a catch (), a first pawl () having a pawl rotation axis (), and a blocking lever (), in which the catch () in a locked state of the lock unit () transfers a pivoting moment onto the first pawl () and in which the first pawl () is fixed by a blocking lever () and in which a second pawl () is provided that is mounted on the pawl rotation axis () and is engageable with the blocking lever () and the catch ().

Lock device having a multi-part pawl

A motor-vehicle door latch has two spaced rigid housing parts, at least one main pivot pin extending between the parts and having an inner end fixed in one of the parts against movement relative thereto and an outer end fixed in the other part against movement relative thereto, and an element pivotal on the main pivot pin. At least one secondary pivot pin extending between the parts has an inner end fixed in the one housing part against movement relative thereto and an opposite outer end, and an element is also pivotal on the secondary pivot pin. A lost-motion joint is provided between the secondary-pin outer end and the other housing part for free limited relative movement in at least one direction of the secondary-pin outer end and the other housing part and no relative movement of the secondary-pin outer end and the other housing part in a perpendicular direction.
