Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19949119A1] The invention relates to a device for locking a part (3; 21; 31) that is moveably mounted on a motor vehicle, whereby a fastening element (11; 26; 36) engages with a cavity in the form of a groove (7; 28; 38) of the part that is to be secured (3; 21; 31) under the effect of acceleration forces occurring during a collision of the corresponding vehicle with an obstacle. In order to enable the device to be assembled in an easy and non-cumbersome manner and to reliably prevent the vehicle door from opening in an undesirable manner when the acceleration forces from various directions are applied to the part that is to be secured, the fastening element (11; 26; 36) is controlled by a spherical control element (10; 22; 32), whereby said control element (10; 22; 32) rests upon a guide element (8; 23; 33) by means of control surfaces (9) that are rounded or conical in shape.

[origin: DE19949119A1] The lock comprises a spherical control part (10) mounted via a spring in a shaped guide cavity (8) arranged on an immovable part of the vehicle. The guide has a rounded or conical control surface (9) which ensures translation of the control part against the pressure of the spring. The control part is fixed to a locking pin (13) arranged in a groove shaped cavity (7) such that the pin engages in the groove during a corresponding translation of the control part.
