Lock, in particular for a motor vehicle

摘要

A lock for a motor vehicle is described. The lock includes a lock latch which is displaced upon closing of the lock by a closing element from an open position in the direction of a closed position. A spring element loads the lock latch in its closed position, which is fixed in its open position in a frictional and/or formfitting way by a removable open-position retention part. Upon closing of the lock, the closing element or another component detaches the open-position retention part from the lock latch.
