Abstract
The invention relates to a latch for a motor vehicle, in particular an electrically operable motor vehicle latch, comprising a locking mechanism having a catch and at least one pawl, it being possible to ratchet the catch in at least one ratchet position by means of the pawl, and a ratchet element located between the catch and the pawl in the engagement region and pivotably arranged on the catch, it being possible to allow a locked locking mechanism to be unlocked by indirectly operating the paw.
Claims17
A latch for a motor vehicle, the latch comprising:
- a locking mechanism having a catch and at least one pawl with an engagement region between the catch and the at least one pawl,
- wherein the locking mechanism is configured to ratchet the catch in at least one ratchet position by the pawl,
- a ratchet element located between the catch and the at least one pawl in the engagement region and arranged on the catch,
- a coupling lever, and
- at least one of a motor vehicle latch housing, a latch case, and a reinforcing plate,
- wherein the ratchet element is pivotably accommodated in the catch,
- wherein the pawl is configured to be indirectly operable to unlock a locked locking mechanism,
- wherein the coupling lever directly acts on the ratchet element, and
- wherein the coupling lever is pivotably mounted on the motor vehicle latch housing, the latch case, or the reinforcing plate.
A latch for a motor vehicle, the latch comprising:
- a locking mechanism having a catch and at least one pawl with an engagement region between the catch and the at least one pawl,
- wherein the locking mechanism is configured to ratchet the catch in at least one ratchet position by the pawl, and
- a ratchet element located between the catch and the at least one pawl in the engagement region and arranged on the catch,
- wherein the ratchet element is pivotably accommodated in the catch,
- wherein the pawl is configured to be indirectly operable to unlock a locked locking mechanism,
- further comprising a coupling lever, wherein the ratchet element is operable by the coupling lever,
- further comprising a pivotably mounted operating lever, wherein the coupling lever is operable by the pivotably mounted operating lever, and
- further comprising a locking mechanism part shaft, wherein the pivotably mounted operating lever is mounted on the locking mechanism part shaft.
