The invention relates to a lock that can be used with a flap, comprising a rotary unit that is made up of a rotary spagnolet that interacts with a closing element (10) and a rotating latch (22). In order to improve operational performance, the rotary unit is provided with a rigid catch (23) that preferably has two counter shoulders running in opposite directions. The output member (35) of a motor (40)--driven gear mechanism is also provided with two corresponding counter shoulders. This enables the motor to provide assistance with closing and, optionally, opening, whereby the rotary unit can be guided in a closing, tilting direction or an opening, tilting direction until the flap is fully closed or opened. The motor (40) comprises a gear mechanism with a group of gears that can be displaced between an engaged position and a separated position. The detent pawl (16) which interacts with the rotating latch (22) is disabled in the separated position, should an emergency arise. When the flap is in a closed or open position, a free area exists between the shoulders and counter shoulders, enabling the flap to be moved manually.

1. A lock for flaps (11) or doors of vehicles, in particular, glove compartment lock, comprising a rotary spagnolet (21) in which, during closing (15) of the flap (11), a locking member (10) is inserted and rotates the rotary spagnolet (21) out of an open pivot position, which corresponds to the open position of the flap, via a split position of the flap into a closed position determining the locked position of the flap, comprising a locking pawl (16) and a rotating latch (22), connected rotationally fixedly to the rotary spagnolet (21), wherein the rotating latch (22) is secured by the locking pawl (16) when the locking pawl (16) is active and when a rotary unit (20), comprised of the rotary spagnolet (21) and the rotating latch (22), has been transferred out of its open pivot position, with the flap in the open position, either into a pre-locking position determining the split position of the flap or into a closed pivot position defining the locked position of the flap, wherein the rotary unit (20) has a rotationally fixed catch (23) with the two counter shoulders (28, 29) oriented in opposite directions relative to one another, wherein the drive member (35) of a gear mechanism (30) driven by a motor (40) has two shoulders (38,39) correlated with the two counter shoulders (28, 29), wherein the motor (40) serves at least as a closing aid or an opening aid, wherein the two shoulders (38; 39) of the drive member (35) impact respectively on the corresponding counter shoulder (28; 29) of the catch (23) and move the rotary unit (20) in the closing pivot direction (58) or in the opening pivot direction (59) to the fully open or closed position which defines the open or closed position of the flap, wherein the drive member (35), in the open or closed position of the flap, is rotated back into a defined ready position for opening or closing the flap, wherein between its shoulders (38) and the counter shoulders (28; 29) of the catch (23) a free space (48, 49; 61, 62) is present which allows a manual movement of the flap, wherein the gear mechanism (30) has a position-changeable (18) gear group (36) which relative to the rest of the gear mechanism is adjustable between an engagement position and a separating position (36'), and wherein the position-changeable gear group (36) is in its separating position (36') at least in an emergency situation and the locking pawl (16) is inactive (16') when the flap is in its closed position and the drive wheel (35) is in a ready position for opening the flap. 2. The lock according to claim 1, wherein, in the closed and open position of the flap, the rotary unit (20) has positions different relative to one another, but the drive wheel (35) is always in the same ready position, and wherein, when the separating position (36') of the gear group (36) is present, a return spring (44) acting on the drive wheel (35) automatically transfers the drive wheel (35) into its ready position. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the locking pawl (16) is spring-loaded (17) in the engagement direction, and the drive wheel (35) has a control surface (47) which pushes the locking pawl (16) away from the rotating latch (22) during opening of the flap. 4. The lock according to claim 1, wherein the position-changeable gear group (36) is normally in an engaged position and only in the emergency situation is transferred into its separating position (36'), and the return rotation of the drive member (35) into the ready position for opening or closing is realized by a corresponding return movement of the motor (40). 5. The lock according to claim 1, wherein the position-changeable gear group (36) is normally in its separating position (36') and is transferred into its engagement position only during motor-driven closing or opening of the flap and the return rotation of the drive member (35) into the ready position for opening or closing is realized by the return springs (44).
