Abstract: A lock for a closure element and comprises a locking-mechanism arrangement having a latch, a catch and a catch-switching lever, wherein the latch can be pivoted, about a latch axis, into at least one locking position, in each of which it is retained in engagement with a locking part, and into an open position wherein the catch can be pivoted into an engagement position, in which the latch located in the respective locking position is locked by the catch so that it cannot pivot, about a catch axis, in its opening direction, and a disengagement position, in which the catch frees the latch in its opening direction, and wherein the catch-switching lever can be pivoted, about a catch-pivoting-lever axis, into an actuating position, in which a sensor is activated by the catch-switching lever, and into a neutral position, in which the sensor is not actuated by the catch-switching lever.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle lock with an adjusting element, which is adjustable about an adjusting element axis, and a drive for the adjustment of the adjusting element, the drive having a rotor, formed by the adjusting element, with a permanent magnet arrangement and a stator with a coil arrangement-comprising at least two coils, and the drive being designed in the manner of a direct drive. It is proposed that the stator has at least two poles, by way of which a magnetic field generated by the coil arrangement is made to pass, in that at least one pole of the stator reaches up to the rotor to within a gap which in cross section is essentially in the form of a segment of a ring, and in that the poles of the stator are magnetically coupled by way of a conducting arrangement running around the rotor with respect to the adjusting element axis.
