Abstract

A lock holder is provided for a motor vehicle locking device, in particular a motor vehicle lock and preferably a motor vehicle door lock. In its basic form, the lock holder is provided with a base plate and a shackle standing on same. The shackle has at least two bolts and a connecting piece connecting the two bolts on the upper side. In addition, an additional reinforcing plate is provided through which the two bolts extend and which is arranged at least on parts of the surface of the base plate. According to the invention, the reinforcing plate extends over a bead of the base plate connecting the two bolts to one another.

Claims (16)

1 . A lock holder for a motor vehicle locking device comprising:

a base plate and a shackle standing on the base plate, wherein the shackle has at least two bolts and a connecting piece connecting the two bolts on an upper side of the shackle, and

a reinforcing plate through which the two bolts extend and which is arranged at least on parts of a surface of the base plate,

wherein the reinforcing plate extends over a bead of the base plate and connects the two bolts to one another, and

wherein the two bolts are each directly attached to the reinforcing plate.

2 . The lock holder according to claim 1 , wherein the bead connects the two bolts to one another.

3 . The lock holder according to claim 1 , wherein, when viewed from above, the reinforcing plate is T-shaped with a T-connecting piece connecting the two bolts to one another and a front-side T-leg.

4 . The lock holder according to claim 3 , wherein the T-connecting piece and the T-leg have a total length which corresponds at most to a length of the bead.

5 . The lock holder according to claim 3 wherein the front-side T-leg has two arms which extend over the bead on the base plate.

The lock holder according to claim 5 , wherein each of the two arms includes a plate connecting piece connected to the reinforcing plate and a bead connecting piece, and wherein, when viewed from a front side, the two arms are each formed at an angle with the plate connecting piece connected to the reinforcing plate, and the bead connecting pieces of each of the two arms are adapted to a material thickness of the bead and connected at an angle to the plate connecting piece.

7 . The lock holder according to claim 6 , wherein the bead connecting pieces are connected at right angles to the plate connecting piece.

8 . The lock holder according to claim 6 , wherein the bead connecting pieces of each of the two arms have a distance from one another adapted to a width of the bead.

9 . The lock holder according to claim 6 , wherein the bead connecting pieces of each of the two arms and the bead are each axially symmetrical in comparison to a plane of symmetry passing through the two bolts of the shackle.

10 . The lock holder according to claim 1 , wherein the two bolts of the shackle with attached reinforcing plate are anchored in associated shackle openings of the base plate.

11 . The lock holder according to claim 10 , wherein the two bolts of the shackle are anchored by at least one of riveting or welding.
