A motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a motor vehicle lock having a locking mechanism that is mounted in a lock case and consists substantially of a rotary latch and a locking pawl. Furthermore, a lock striker that interacts with the locking mechanism is provided, as well as an opener that engages the lock striker during an opening process of an associated motor vehicle door. The opener is acted upon by means of an opening device, at least part of which is integrated in the motor vehicle lock. According to the invention, the opening device is also designed to lift the locking pawl off the rotary latch.

A motor vehicle closing device having a locking mechanism with a catch; at least one pawl, said catch being latchable in at least one latching position by means of the pawl; a lock holder, wherein the lock holder can be brought into engagement with the catch by means of a relative movement between the closing device and the lock holder, and the locking mechanism can be converted into a latching position; and means for locking the lock holder in a main latching position of the locking mechanism. According to the invention, a holding device is provided. The holding device is used to convert a vehicle part which interacts with the motor vehicle closing device from a closed position into an open position, and the holding device forms at least one part of the means for locking the lock holder.

Door holder for a motor vehicle

An opening apparatus for a motor vehicle door element, comprising an electric drive, an actuator, more particularly a pusher element, acting on the door element, wherein the actuator can be adjusted by means of the electric drive and a transmission arranged between the electric drive and the actuator, such that the door element can be at least opened by means of the actuator, wherein a discontinuous transmission ratio is made possible by means of the transmission.

A partial-opening device for a motor-vehicle door element, having an electric drive, an actuating element, more particularly a pushing element which acts the door element, wherein the actuating element can be moved by means of the electric drive and by means of a gearing arranged between the electric drive and the actuating element, such that the door element can be at least partially opened by means of the actuating element, and wherein the gearing has a drive lever, which is disposed on an outer end of the actuating element, which outer end is associated with the door element.

The invention relates to a lock () for a motor vehicle, in particular a side door lock, comprising a locking mechanism (), a triggering lever (), an actuating lever () and a coupling lever (), wherein the triggering lever () can be coupled to the actuating lever () by means of the coupling lever (), and a means for controlling the coupling lever (), wherein the coupling lever () can be guided by means of a control cam ().

Motor vehicle lock

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a locking mechanism, an electric drive, a locking unit and a coupling lever, said coupling lever acting on the locking unit. The coupling lever can be actuated by the electric drive counter to the force of the spring. The locking unit has a control contour, the coupling lever cooperating with said control contour.

The invention relates to miniature drives for use in automobile locks. A return of the mechanism once the lock is opened and the motor is shut down is prevented completely mechanically. For this purpose, the worm wheel is associated with a mechanically active locking element which allows first to slightly turn back the wheel to unlock and reduce the load on the mechanism, but then prevents any further rotation against the direction of drive.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door, in particular a handleless motor vehicle side door. The basic structure of said side door comprises a door leaf (), a locking element (), hinged to a motor vehicle body (), for locking the door leaf () in predetermined angular positions in relation to the motor vehicle body (), and at least one actuator () acting upon the door leaf (). Said actuator () causes the door leaf () to open to an at least ajar position in relation to the motor vehicle body (). According to the invention, the actuator () is connected to the locking element () and directly drives the latter to adjust the door leaf ().

For miniature drives which are used in particular in car locks, the axial play of the motor spindle is prevented, or is at least greatly restricted, by the necessary axial stop and also the further motor stop being assigned to the housing cover of the housing. When the housing cover is placed onto the housing casing, said axial stops are inserted into corresponding guides in such a manner that said axial stops subsequently not only restrict the play of the motor spindle and ensure an always uniformly secure arrangement of the motor housing in the housing, but at the same time also make possible the substantially simpler production of the required bearing bore. Said bearing bore and the associated aperture are produced from the outer side of the housing casing during the injection molding.

A positioning element permits the panel or engine bonnet of a motor vehicle to be brought from the closed position into a position in which a gap forms between the upper edge of the opening and the lower edge of the panel. The panel can thus easily be unlocked and fully opened. The positioning element with inner lever and outer lever is connected to a drive component, which via the drive element and the drive pawl with a detent ensures that the panel is brought in a simple manner via the levers into the first raised position, for which purpose the detent is pushed into the recess of the outer lever and thus brings the outer lever and the inner lever into the first raised position. Once the panel has been brought by spring loading into the second raised position with the aid of the spring-loaded inner lever, the upward travel is completed, so that by means of the spring force associated with the outer lever, said outer lever then quickly pivots both levers back into the initial position.
