ABSTRACT:
A lock suited for a removable roof of a motor vehicle, especially a passenger car, is held against a fixed structural part such as a rollover bar of a body of the motor vehicle by way of a locking member of the lock. The lock has a first actuating element and a second actuating element, and the first actuating element is surrounded by the second actuating element surface-flush. The actuating elements act in conjunction with each other such that only upon operating the first actuating element can the second actuating element be moved from a closed position into an open position. To ensure that the lock has a simple design and good functionality while requiring little space, the first actuating element effects the open position of the lock with a lifting motion and the second actuating element with a rotary motion. The locking member of the lock is connected torsion-resistant by way of a bearing shaft to the second actuating element.
