Abstract (en)
Lock (1) for a door of a motor vehicle, provided with a supporting casing (2), a closing mechanism (4) which is carried on the supporting casing (2), is capable of interacting with a stop (6) and is provided, in turn, with a fork (10) covered externally with a shell (14) made from plastic material and rotatable about its axis (A) between an open position and at least one fully closed position in which the stop (6) is locked in a socket (16) of the fork (10), and a check (11) having an engagement portion (23) which can be snap-coupled to the fork (10) to lock it releasably in the fully closed position; the supporting casing (2) is provided with an arresting element (30) capable of intercepting the fork (10) in a stop position located after the fully closed position along a forward portion of a path for the coupling of the fork (10) to the check (11), and capable of causing a restraining reaction on the fork (10) which moves it into the fully closed position along a return portion of the coupling path opposed to the forward portion; the locking mechanism (4) comprises an elastic leaf spring element (32) made from plastic material, carried integrally by a peripheral edge (22) of the fork (10) and capable of bending when bearing against the arresting element (30) at the end of the forward portion of the coupling path, to produce a braking action on the return portion of the said coupling path. <IMAGE>
