Motor vehicle lock—in particular, motor vehicle side door lock
A motor vehicle lock, and in particular a motor vehicle side door lock, having a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, wherein a rotary movement of the rotary latch can be blocked in at least one latching position by means of the pawl; a lock case; and a bearing point, accommodated in the lock case, for at least one locking mechanism part, wherein the motor vehicle lock can be mounted on the motor vehicle by means of the lock case, and wherein the motor vehicle lock can be mounted on the motor vehicle by means of at least one bearing point.
1 . A motor vehicle lock comprising:
a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, wherein a rotary movement of the rotary latch is blocked in at least one latching position by the pawl;
a lock case;
a bearing point accommodated on the lock case for at least one component of the locking mechanism, wherein the motor vehicle lock is mounted on the motor vehicle by the lock case, and wherein the motor vehicle lock also is mounted on the motor vehicle by the bearing point of the at least one component of the locking mechanism; and
a reinforcement plate, wherein the bearing point is further accommodated in the reinforcement plate such that the at least one component of the locking mechanism is arranged on the bearing point between the lock case and the reinforcement plate,
wherein the reinforcement plate is further connected to the lock case via at least one further bearing point separate from the bearing point,
wherein the bearing point has a differing external diameter with a central portion with a first external diameter and an end portion with a second external diameter smaller than the first diameter forming a shoulder that engages the lock case, and
wherein an edge of the bearing point is flanged radially outwardly to form a collar such that the lock case is held between the shoulder and the collar of the bearing point.
2 . The motor vehicle lock according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing point has a thread.
3 . The motor vehicle lock according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing point is a separate component from the lock case.
4 . The motor vehicle lock according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing point is non-detachably connected to the lock case.
5 . The motor vehicle lock according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing point is a threaded bushing that provides a sliding surface for the component of the locking mechanism, and wherein the component of the locking mechanism is mounted directly on the threaded bushing.
6 . The motor vehicle lock according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing point is non-detachably connected to the reinforcement plate.
7 . The motor vehicle lock according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one further bearing point is a threaded bushing.
