A motor vehicle door lock includes a rotary latch which in a locking position encompasses a locking element that is pre-tensioned in a direction of an open position releasing the locking element. A pawl is in engagement with the rotary latch such that the latch is inhibited from moving towards the open position. A coupling section of the pawl is coupled to a drive element which moves the pawl between an engagement position and a release position, the release position allowing the rotary latch to move toward the open position. A force is applied to the pawl only in the engagement position thereof and the force application holds the pawl in engagement with the rotary latch.

Motor vehicle door lock

An opening and/or closing mechanism for a motor vehicle, with a lock having a housing, in which there is arranged at least one retention element, which has a pawl and a rotary latch, and with a closing element, which is in operative connection with the lock in the closed position, it being possible for the rotary latch to be moved between a release position and a retention position, in which it catches the closing element. In the event of deformation of the housing, the housing is contacted at least partially by the retention element in order to prevent the door from opening, wherein at least one stop surface of a rotary latch section of the rotary latch enters into a positive-locking connection with the housing.

Opening and/or closing mechanism on doors, gates/flaps or the like, in particular on motor vehicles

A motor vehicle door latch includes a rotary latch which encompasses a closing element when in the closed position, and is preloaded toward an open position of the closing element. A safety catch is engaged with the rotary latch so that the rotary latch is prevented from moving toward the open position. A coupling section of the safety catch is dynamically coupled with a drive element and moves the safety catch between the engagement position and a releasing position so that the rotary latch can move toward the open position. The opening sound is reduced to a minimum. The drive element moves the safety catch from the engagement position toward the releasing position so that the rotary latch, which is still engaged with the safety catch during such movement, moves toward the open position.
