Abstract
A motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism consisting substantially of a rotary latch and a pawl. An electromotive drive is also implemented, which performs actuating movements using a drive element. There is also a blocking element for the drive element. According to the invention, the blocking element is designed as a blocking lever which is rotatable about a pin and which pivots into its blocking position by means of an actuating movement of the drive element. In this way, the actuating movement of the drive element and a subsequent reversing movement take place in a purely motorized manner and without spring force, specifically until the blocking position is reached.
