The invention relates to a door lock or flap lock comprising a locking mechanism that has a rotary latch and a pawl for locking the rotary latch. Said type of lock is also described in DE 103 20 457 A 1. The aim of the invention is to provide a lock with a position securing system with low technical complexity. Said aim is achieved by a lock with a locking mechanism comprising a rotary latch and a pawl for locking the rotary latch. The lock comprises a position securing system for a locking or anti-theft device. A spring is used for securing the position. Said spring is embodied as a dual-acting clamping spring. A tilting mechanism tilts a slot thus securing the position of the slot if excessively accelerated. As a result, an undesired movement of the slot is inhibited and the position thereof is thus improved.

Motor vehicle lock with a position securing system

Disclosed are door locks that include a spring based position securing system for a locking or anti-theft device. The spring may be a dual-acting clamping spring. Also disclosed are methods for producing door locks that include the spring based position securing system.

With the present invention, actuators known from the prior art are supposed to be developed further. For this purpose, an actuator comprises, in particular, an electric motor and a locking bar that can be moved by means of the electric motor. Moreover, the actuator comprises a lever with which the locking bar can be moved back mechanically out of its locking position. The invention moreover relates to a charging socket for an electrically driven motor vehicle. As is already known from a motor vehicle driven by an electric motor and an outlet provided in a private household, the electrical contacts of the charging socket are located protected in one or more recess(es). Into these recess(es), contacts of a charging plug which correspond therewith and are, for example, pin or rod-shaped, can be pushed for contacting. An adjacent, in particular peripherally extending, housing is provided around the one or more recess(es). A gap-shaped space, which in particular extends peripherally around the recess(es) and into which a housing of a charging plug corresponding therewith can be pushed, thus remains between the recess(es) and the adjacent housing. An actuating element with a locking bar is attached on the outside of the adjacent housing. For locking a charging plug, the locking bar can be moved by the actuating element into the adjacent housing through a corresponding opening.
