Claim 15:
16. A lock configured to releasably secure a hatch leaf to a vehicle body and change between a primary closed state and an open state, the lock comprising:
a lock plate defining a recess and an inlet channel, wherein the recess is configured to receive a striker fixed to either the hatch leaf or the vehicle body;
a catch forming a control contour, coupled to the lock plate and pivotable about a catch axis, wherein when the lock is in the primary closed state, the catch is in a catch-primary closed position and is configured to engage the striker; and
a pawl coupled to the lock plate, including a pawl arm having a primary blocking contour, and pivotable about a pawl axis, wherein when the lock is in the primary closed state, the pawl arm is in a pawl-arm primary closed position in which the primary blocking contour engages with the catch to hold the catch in a blocking-catch primary closed position, wherein as the lock changes to the open state, the catch moves from the catch-primary closed position to a catch open position to disengage and release the striker and the primary blocking contour of the pawl arm moves along the control contour towards or into the inlet channel, wherein in the primary closed state, a second primary blocking contour of the pawl arm is further away from the inlet than in the open state.
