20110084505 | MOTOR VEHICLE LOCK - The present invention relates to a motor vehicle lock having the locking elements of a lock catch and a pawl and having a lock mechanism, with it being possible for the lock mechanism to be moved into different functional states such as “unlocked”, “locked”, “anti-theft locked” or “child-safety locked” and with the lock mechanism having for this purpose at least one functional element which can be adjusted into corresponding functional positions. It is proposed that at least one functional element is designed as a resiliently elastically bendable wire or strip, and can thereby be bent in a resiliently elastic manner, as a bendable functional element, into different functional positions. | 04-14-2011 |
20110181052 | MOTOR VECHICLE LOCK ARRANGEMENT - Described herein is a motor vehicle lock arrangement that includes a motor vehicle lock, with an operable functional element and a securing device which is associated with the functional element, wherein the securing device is coupled or it being possible to couple the securing device to the functional element in order to counteract an automatic operating movement of the functional element due to a crash acceleration phenomena which can occur in the event of a crash. In one embodiment, the securing device has a deflectable blocking element which can be deflected into a blocking position in which an operating movement of the functional element can be blocked by the blocking element, and the blocking element has an associated latching arrangement which latches in when the blocking element is deflected into the blocking position, and the latched-in latching arrangement holds the blocking element in the blocking position | 07-28-2011 |
20140175812 | LOCKING SYSTEM COMPONENT - The invention relates to a locking system component for a locking system which is assigned to a closure element of a motor vehicle, wherein an impact arrangement for absorbing momentum of a movement element is provided. It is proposed that the impact arrangement has a plastics foam element which consists at least partially, and in some embodiments completely, of a microcellular, open-cell plastics foam, in particular of a polyurethane foam. | 06-26-2014 |
