Patent ID: 7377559

Claim:
A locking system on a fuel door, comprising: a locking projection having a lateral locking recess, the resilient legs in the locking position being adapted to engage the lateral locking recess, an ejector body located in the cup shaped body and configured to be moved along an axis between an outer and an inner position, the axis having the same direction as the axis of the locking projection in a closed position of the fuel door, wherein the ejector body is biased by a first biasing spring towards the outer position and configured to engage the locking projection when the fuel door is in the closed position, a deflection surface provided in the locking recess, the deflection surface configured to laterally deflect the spring legs when the locking projection and the ejector body are moved against the first biasing spring, and a locking body located in the cup shaped body and movable between an outer and an inner position parallel to the axis of the ejector body and biased by a second biasing spring towards the inner position, the second biasing spring engaging an outer stop of the cup shaped body, the locking body having a lateral extension configured to engage the spring legs when deflected by the deflection surface into the releasing position, wherein when in the inner position, a driver portion of the ejector body moves the locking body into the outer position against the second biasing spring when the ejector body is moved into the outer position by the first biasing spring, the spring legs being positioned below the lateral extension in the locking position.
