Abstract
A closing device for a motor vehicle lock, in particular to a closing aid for a motor vehicle door lock. According to its basic design, said closing aid has a locking mechanism substantially consisting of a rotary latch and a pawl. Furthermore, an electric motor and a transmission downstream of the electric motor are implemented. The transmission operates preferably on the rotary latch at least during a closing operation. According to the invention, a handle is provided, which is mounted at a lock housing for mechanically interrupting the closing operation, said handle impinging a force flux element, which can be selectively engaged and disengaged, as a component of the transmission.
