Abstract
A lock arrangement may have a claw for a locking element, a safety catch for the locking element, and a pawl which interacts with the safety catch. The safety catch may be mounted on a first bearing bolt so as to be rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The pawl may be mounted on a second bearing bolt so as to be rotatable about a second axis of rotation. The safety catch may have a base body having a recess which receives the second bearing bolt such that the second bearing bolt is arranged in the recess. When the safety catch is pivoted, the recess is movable or is moved relative to the second bearing bolt.
