Abstract:
A closure between a movable part and a stationary part of a door or a flap of vehicles,the closure comprising a lock (10) on the stationary part (40) or the moveable part and further comprising a closing head (20) configured to cooperate with the lock (10) and provided on the moveable part or the stationary part, respectively, and movable axially (32) relative to the lock (10), wherein the closing head (20) comprises an undercut axial shoulder (26) and the lock (10) comprises a radially movable (57, 57â€²) locking member (11) which is spring-mounted in a direction of a movement axis (33) of the locking member (11), wherein the locking member (11) in a coupling situation of the closing head (20) with the locking member (11) engages behind the axial shoulder (26) and is in a locked position, wherein the lock (10) further comprises an axially spring-mounted (63) sensing member (12) and a return member (13) acting on the locking member (11), wherein the sensing member (12) projects into an axial movement path (32) of the closing head (20) and is actuated by the closing head (20), wherein the return member (13) is configured to move the locking member (11) into a release position relative to the closing head (20), in which release position the closing head (20) is configured to be decoupled, wherein the sensing member (12) is a locking means for the locking member (11) and the locking member (11) is secured by the sensing member (12) in the release position until the closing head (20) is decoupled, wherein an axial movement (60) of the sensing member (12) resulting during coupling (32) of the closing head (20) releases a locking action (61, 62) so that a radial spring load (54) acting on the locking member (11) transfers the locking member (11) into the locked position, and wherein the radial return movement (57â€²) of the locking member (11) resulting from actuation of the return member (13) activates the locking action of the sensing member (12) and locks the locking member (11) in the release position; wherein the sensing member (12) and the locking member (11) are pivotably supported levers having a pivot movement direction (60, 60â€²; 57, 57â€²), respectively, wherein the pivot movement directions extend perpendicular to one another.
