Detent mechanism for a motor vehicle component

A detent mechanism for a motor vehicle component, the detent mechanism comprising:

• a pivotable holding part;
• and
• a pivotable blocking part;
• wherein the holding part is pivotable into a closing position and into an open position about a holding part axis;
• wherein a blocking state is produced by the blocking part being pivotable into a blocking position in which a blocking surface of the blocking part and a blocking surface of the holding part are in blocking engagement with each other and block a pivoting movement of the holding part out of the closing position in the direction of the open position;
• wherein the blocking part is pivotable into a release position in which the blocking surfaces are disengaged from each other and release the holding part;
• and
• wherein, in the blocking state, with respect to the holding part axis, between the blocking surfaces, a supporting surface of the blocking part and a supporting surface of the holding part are in axially supporting engagement with each other or can be brought into axially supporting engagement with each other.
