ABSTRACT:
A lock means for doors of an automobile comprises a lock base, a ratchet which is mounted rotatably on the lock base, is provided with a full-latch claw and a half-latch claw and is biased toward the unlock establishing direction of the lock means, a hindering piece which is overlapped on the ratchet and is movable against the ratchet between an envelope position and a non-envelope position, a holding piece mounted rotatably against the lock base, biased toward the ratchet and adapted to engage with the contours of the overlapped ratchet and the hindering piece and an interconnecting means interposed between the hindering piece and the holding piece and adapted to actuate the holding piece between the envelope and the non-envelope positions. The envelope position is established at the time of a lock-operation when the ratchet is actuated by a striker in the lock establishing direction, the engagement between the half-latch claw and the holding piece becoming impossible and the non-envelope position is established at the time of an unlock-operation when the ratchet is actuated reversely, this engagement becoming possible.
