Abstract
A locking arrangement for securing a pivoting and sliding cover to a counter-structure of a vehicle body, in particular for folding hoods of convertibles, has a fastening pin which is disposed on the cover and protrudes from the rear side of the cover, a catch fastening which is disposed on the counter-structure and interacts with the fastening pin in the locking operation and an intrusion guide for the intrusion of the fastening pin into the catch fastening via a notch, mounted in front of the locking catch, on the counter-structure. To enable an auxiliary mechanism to be less expensive and more space-saving, elements which interact during the closing of the cover are deflection apparatus which butt against each other. A sliding advancement of the cover, which is maintained after the deflection apparatus are run up against, can be partially converted into transverse advancement of the cover which accompanies the axial advancement of the fastening pin.
