Abstract
The invention relates to a closure comprising a closing head ( ) and a lock ( ) which rest on the immobile or mobile part of a door, flap or such like. The closing head ( ) has an undercut axial shoulder ( ) which during coupling is engaged by a radially mobile blocking member ( ) in the lock ( ). The lock ( ) further comprises a sensing member ( ) and a restoring member ( ) for the blocking member ( ). To make the lock less prone to malfunctions the invention provides for the axially spring-loaded sensing member ( ) to be used as a locking means for the radially spring-loaded blocking member ( ). When the locking effect is actuated the blocking member ( ) is held in a release position in relation to the closing head ( ). When the closing head ( ) is engaged the sensing member ( ) carries out an axial movement which releases the lock so that the radial spring-loading can move the blocking member ( ) into its blocked position. Actuation of the restoring member ( ) results in a radial reverse movement of the blocking member ( ), which activates the locking of the sensing member ( ) and locks the blocking member ( ) in its release position.
