Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle locking device, and more particularly to a vehicle locking device equipped in a vehicle such as an automobile.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a vehicle locking device mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile, a cover body integrally provided on a housing by an integral hinge is covered from above the rotation shaft of the locking portion as a fixing member. A configuration in which the number of parts is reduced by covering the bolt is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). And a base fixed to the mounting member using a bolt, and a substantially annular locking hook that is rotatably supported with respect to the base and can be switched between a use state and a non-use state. A cover portion that spans and connects the opposing long side portions is integrally provided with the locking hook, and the bolt is covered with the cover portion at a rotational position where the inclination angle of the locking hook with respect to the base is a predetermined value or less. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  However, in patent document 1, it has the structure where a cover body covers the upper part of the rotating shaft of a latching | locking part. As a result, the rotating shaft side of the locking part is greatly lowered from the surface of the housing. For this reason, the surface by the side of the rotating shaft of a latching part and the surface of a housing cannot be made into the same surface, but external appearance quality falls.

  In consideration of the above facts, an object of the present invention is to obtain a vehicle locking device that can make the surface of the locking shaft on the rotary shaft side and the surface of the housing flush with each other and improve the appearance quality.

The vehicle locking device according to claim 1 is a housing fixed to the mounting member by a fixing member;
A mounting bracket disposed inside the housing and fixed to the mounting member by the fixing member;
A locking portion in which one end is rotatably supported by the shaft-supporting side end of the housing, and a locking opening is formed in the vicinity of the other end;
A lid that extends from the end of the housing opposite to the end of the pivot support and covers the fixing member;
Have a, the lid body by rotating around the end opposite to the shaft support side end portion of the housing, characterized in that it is movable to a position to cover the fixing member.

Accordingly, the lid extending from the end of the housing can cover the fixing member that fixes the housing and the mounting bracket to the mounting member. As a result, the lid does not cover the end of the locking portion on the rotating shaft side. For this reason, the fixing member can be covered with the lid extending from the end portion of the housing without greatly lowering the surface of the end portion on the rotating shaft side in the locking portion from the surface of the housing. The surface on the rotating shaft side of the part and the surface of the housing can be flush with each other, and the appearance quality can be improved. Also, the lid extending from the end of the housing rotates about the end opposite to the shaft support side end of the housing, which is the center of rotation of the locking portion, thereby connecting the housing and the mounting bracket. The fixing member fixed to the attachment member can be covered. As a result, the lid does not cover the end of the locking portion on the rotating shaft side. For this reason, the fixing member can be covered with the lid extending from the end portion of the housing without greatly lowering the surface of the end portion on the rotating shaft side in the locking portion from the surface of the housing. The surface on the rotating shaft side of the part and the surface of the housing can be flush with each other, and the appearance quality can be improved.

The vehicle locking device according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a housing fixed to the mounting member by a fixing member, a mounting bracket disposed inside the housing and fixed to the mounting member by the fixing member, and the housing One end of the shaft is rotatably supported by the end of the shaft, and a locking portion in which a locking opening is formed in the vicinity of the other end, opposite to the end of the shaft in the housing extending from an end of the side, have a, a lid for covering the fixing member, the cover body by rotating around the end opposite to the shaft support side end portion of the housing, the fixed Since the member can be moved to the position covering the member, the surface of the locking portion on the rotating shaft side and the surface of the housing can be flush with each other, and the appearance quality can be improved.
