A lock includes a housing and a lock mechanism with a dead-bolt disposed in the housing, wherein the dead-bolt is retractable and protrudable between its two terminal positions. The lock further includes at least one bending element disposed in the housing connected to a mechanical component of the lock mechanism at a connecting location, wherein the longest extension of the bending element is defined along a first axis. When the dead-bolt retracts and protrudes, the connecting location of the mechanical component moves along a second axis. The first axis is angled with regard to the second axis, such that when the dead-bolt is displaced into at least one terminal position, the bending element elastically bends and the bending element maintains the lock mechanism in the terminal position. |

1. A lock, comprising:
a housing, a lock mechanism with a dead-bolt disposed in the housing, wherein the dead-bolt is retractable and protrudable between first and second terminal positions by means of the lock mechanism, at least one bending element is disposed in the housing, wherein the bending element is connected to a mechanical component of the lock mechanism at a connecting location, wherein the longest extension of the bending element is defined along a first axis, wherein, when retracting and protruding the dead-bolt, the connecting location of the mechanical component moves along a second axis, and wherein the first axis is angled with regard to the second axis such that when displacing the dead-bolt into at least one terminal position, the bending element elastically bends and thereby maintains the lock mechanism in the terminal position. |
