Abstract
A lock for pivotal flaps, covers, or the like, especially for glove compartments in motor vehicles, with a curved locking member preferably rotatably supported at a pivotal part against the force of a spring, which in the locking position cooperates with its free end with a fixed locking member. The cooperating ends of the two locking members, as a result of an approximately rectangularly bent-off configuration in the form of an 'L' or 'U' effect a horizontal and vertical inter-engagement so that a mutual support in these two directions does not permit a disengagement of the ends of the locking members either in the upward or an opening direction of the pivotal flap.
