Lock, especially for a vehicle door

摘要

The subject of the invention is a lock, of the type comprising a cylindrical keeper 28 and a case 10, in which a guide groove 18 for the keeper is formed, the groove being intercepted by a pivoting bolt 38 articulated in the case and stressed elastically in rotation, in such a way that its hook-shaped free end 44 delimits with the groove 18 a housing in which the keeper 28 is retained when the lock is in the closed position. According to the invention, the bolt 38 is provided in its middle part with a rocker 46 which is articulated on the bolt 38 and the free end 50 of which intercepts the groove 18, so as to divide the housing into a first and a second receptacle, in which receptacles the keeper 28 is capable of being retained in order to define a first and a second closed position of the lock. The invention is used on motor-vehicle doors. <IMAGE>
