Abstract

See full text

A closing device includes a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl for locking the rotary latch and an electric drive. The closing device is advantageous for front hoods or front flaps, which are located in the front as viewed in the typical direction of travel of a motor vehicle. A method for closing a hood includes using the closing device. The closing device enables a purely electrically operated hood lock having locking, opening, and closing functions. The closing device includes a locking mechanism having a control disk, in which at least two components of the closing device can be moved by rotation of the control disk. Thus, for suitable movement of a plurality of components, it is only necessary to rotate the control disk by rotation by an electric drive to be able to close and/or open a door or flap.
