Abstract
The lock for a motor vehicle opening leaf including a wheel (RD) to be driven in rotation about an axis (A ) under the action of an electric motor, the wheel driving in rotation a wrist pin (MT), the wrist pin (MT) collaborating with a member to opening said lock upon rotation of said motor. The wrist pin (MT) is secured to a plate (PT) which is mounted so that it can rotate about the axis (A ), and includes a first and a second associated member for coupling the plate (PT) and the wheel (RD). The first and second members contain a drive peg and an associated groove (RO) in the form of an arc of a circle, so that the wrist pin (MT) is free to turn about the axis (A ) through a certain angle. Thus, the lock can be opened manually when its motor fails.
