Abstract
A motor vehicle door lock for use with a motor vehicle door hinge having two hinge halves connectable, respectively, with two parts of a door assembly, a door and a door pillar, and pivotally connected with each other by a hinge pin, the door lock including a cylinder housing fixedly connectable with one of the two hinge halves connectable with one part of the door assembly, a cylinder stem received in the cylinder housing and fixedly connectable with another of the two hinge halves connectable with another part of the door assembly, and at least one locking member arranged in the cylinder housing or the cylinder stem with a possibility of a radial adjustment.
Claims19
A motor vehicle door lock for use with a motor vehicle door hinge having two hinge halves connectable, respectively, with two parts of a door assembly, a door and a door pillar, and pivotally connected with each other by a hinge pin, said door lock comprising:
- a cylinder housing fixedly connectable with one of the two hinge halves connectable with one part of the door assembly;
- a cylinder stem received in said cylinder housing and fixedly connectable with another of the two hinge halves connectable with another part of the door assembly;
- and
- at least one locking member arranged in one of the cylinder housing and the cylinder stem with a possibility of a radial adjustment therein,
- wherein cylinder housing has a circumferential wall having a circumferential region with a thickness sufficient for forming a radial bore therein for receiving said locking member and a loading spring for biasing said locking member, and
- wherein said cylinder housing has a further radial bore for receiving a stop bolt, and said cylinder stem has a partially annular radial groove which cooperates with said stop bolt for limiting opening movement of the door, said stop bolt being formed as a spring bolt, said door lock further including a set screw for securing said stop bolt in said further radial bore.
A motor vehicle door lock for use with a motor vehicle door hinge having two hinge halves connectable, respectively, with two parts of a door assembly, a door and a door pillar, and pivotally connected with each other by a hinge pin, said door lock comprising:
- a cylinder housing fixedly connectable with one of the two hinge halves connectable with one part of the door assembly;
- a cylinder stem received in said cylinder housing and fixedly connectable with another of the two hinge halves connectable with another part of the door assembly;
- and
- at least one locking member arranged in one of the cylinder housing and the cylinder stem with a possibility of a radial adjustment therein,
- wherein said cylinder housing is formed by a roller-shaped head portion of the one of the two hinge halves;
- and the cylinder stem is formed by an extension of the hinge pin extending through the roller-shaped head portion,
- wherein the at least one locking member is arranged in the cylinder housing, and at least one brake and locking element, which cooperates with said locking member, is provided on a circumference of said cylinder stem, and
- wherein said locking member is formed as a plate-shaped piece and is radially adjustable with respect to the cylinder stem, wherein said cylinder housing has a radially extending axial groove receiving said plate-shaped piece, and wherein said door lock further comprises a plurality of loading springs for biasing said locking member.
A motor vehicle door lock for use with a motor vehicle door hinge having two hinge halves connectable, respectively, with two parts of a door assembly, a door and a door pillar, and pivotally connected with each other by a hinge pin, said door lock comprising:
- a cylinder housing fixedly connectable with one of the two hinge halves connectable with one part of the door assembly;
- a cylinder stem received in said cylinder housing and fixedly connectable with another of the two hinge halves connectable with another part of the door assembly;
- and
- at least one locking member arranged in one of the cylinder housing and the cylinder stem with a possibility of a radial adjustment therein,
- wherein the cylinder stem has a radially extending axial oil groove, and
- wherein said axial oil groove is formed in a circumference of the cylinder stem opposite an indentation forming a braking and locking element, said door lock further comprising a lubricant source connected with said oil groove.
