Abstract
The invention relates to a closure in which a lock interacts with a closing element (10). The lock comprises a stationary, rotationally mounted (14) catch (15) that can be pivoted between an open position (15.1), a preliminary locking position (15.2) and a main locking position (15.3). The lock also comprises a pawl (30) and several sensors (51-53) that monitor various working positions of the lock element. In order to improve the control of the lock, the rotary catch (15) is associated with two separate pawls (20, 30), one of said pawls acting as preliminary catch pawl (20) and only engages with the preliminary catch element (17), whilst the other pawl acts as the main catch pawl (30) and only engages with the main catch element (18). Two sensors (51, 52) are provided, one of which (52) engages directly or indirectly with the main catch pawl (30) and the other (51) engages directly or indirectly with the preliminary catch pawl (20) and monitors the catch engagement position (20.2, 30.2) and/or release position (20.1, 30.1).
