A handle case 23 constituting each handle 12 includes a base portion 20 fixed to the side surface of the gate 2, a pair of upper and lower L-shaped support portions 21 extending in the front-rear direction from the upper and lower ends of the base portion 20, and a support The release portion 13 is provided on the grip portion 22 in the up-down direction. A transmission block 15 provided between the release trigger 13 and the lock mechanism 11 is configured to be slidable within the extending portion 21b running in the left-right direction of the support portion 21, and a slide block 35 that inherits the operation of the release trigger 13 And an interlocking arm 37 that is provided so as to be able to swing around the swing shaft 36 in the base end portion 21 a that runs in the front-rear direction of the support portion 21 and inherits the operation of the slide block 35. The lock mechanism 11 includes a support plate 46 fixed in the gate 2, a pair of upper and lower hooks 48 and 48 that are swingably mounted around a longitudinal axis 47 provided on the support plate 46, and both hooks 48 and 48. And a hook spring 49 for urging and moving to the lock posture. Each hook 48 includes a latching arm 70 that extends in the left-right direction and engages with the striker 10, and a passive arm 71 that extends in the front-rear direction and inherits the operation of the interlocking arm 37. Then, in conjunction with the pushing operation of the release trigger 13 from the normal posture to the release posture, the passive arm 71 is pushed in the left-right direction via the slide block 35 and the linkage arm 37, and the latch arm 70 is released from the locked posture. It is configured to be displaced to the locked posture.

  Both hooks 48 and 48 are connected by a connecting pin 50 in a state where they overlap each other. The support plate 46 is provided with a long hole 62 which is long in the left-right direction, and the connecting pin 50 is mounted in the long hole 62 so as to be movable in the left-right direction. When the connecting pin 50 is located on one end side of the long hole 62, the hooking arm 70 of the hook 48 is in the locked position, and when the connecting pin 50 is located on the other end side of the long hole 62, the hooking arm 70 is unlocked. Configure to be locked. The connecting pin 50 is urged by a hook spring 49 toward the one end side of the long hole 62.

  A locking mechanism 90 is provided for fixing the hook 48 of the locking mechanism 11 to the locked posture. The locking mechanism 90 includes a lock unit 91 that is fixed to the handle case 23, an interlocking body 92 that is rotatably supported by the lock unit 91, and a stopper 95 that is swingably supported in the gate. To do. The stopper 95 receives the rotational movement of the interlocking body 92 and reaches the rotation locus of the hook 48, and is displaced between a locking posture that prevents the hook 48 from swinging and an unlocking posture that retreats from the rotation locus of the hook 48. Configure as you can.

  A lock unit 91 is fixed to each of the front and rear handle cases 23 and 23, and the lock mechanism 90 includes an operation arm 94. The operation arm 94 extends in the front-rear direction and is operated by the interlocking body 92 to be rotated. 105, a cam 93 for displacing the stopper 95, and engagement pieces 106 and 106 that are provided at both ends of the operation shaft 105 and engage with the interlocking body 92, so that the operation shaft 105 can be rotated. In response, when the cam 93 is displaced from the recumbent posture to the vertical posture, the stopper 95 is displaced from the unlocked posture to the locked posture, and the interlocking body 92 is provided at the end of the operation shaft 105. It has a bearing hole 110 that allows insertion, and the cylindrical wall that defines the bearing hole 110 is a partial arc wall having an operation groove 111 for operating the engagement piece 106. Unit 9 It may take the form as it is a relief notch from the locking operation position can absorb the attitude displacement in the unlocking operation posture.

  In the support plate 46, an exit / exit 55 for allowing the stopper 95 to be inserted is opened. In the locking posture, the upper portion of the stopper 95 is supported on the periphery of the exit / exit 55.

  Moreover, this invention is a gate provided with the said locking device.

  In the gate locking device according to the present invention, the pushing operation direction of the release trigger 13 from the normal posture to the release posture is matched with the opening operation direction of the gate 2. According to this, in a state where the gate 2 is engaged and fixed to the support column 9 by the lock mechanism, the release trigger 13 is in a normal posture, and when the gate 12 is opened by grasping the handle 12 from the engaged and fixed state, At the same time, the lock mechanism 11 can be released by pushing the release trigger 13 toward the release posture. Therefore, according to the present invention, the opening operation of the gate 2 and the releasing operation of the lock mechanism 11 can be simultaneously performed with one touch, so that the opening operation of the gate 2 from the engaged and fixed state can be performed quickly and with little effort. Can do. Further, since the operation direction of the release trigger 13 and the opening operation direction of the gate coincide with each other, there is no possibility of erroneous operation of the release trigger 13 and the gate 2 can be reliably opened from the engaged and fixed state.

As in Patent Documents 1 and 2, etc., in a configuration in which a hook that can be swung and displaced about the horizontal axis is used as a constituent element of the lock mechanism, exact alignment of the hook with respect to the striker is required, and the engagement operation with respect to the support column of the gate Is difficult, and it is difficult to quickly establish the engaged and fixed state. That is, in the forms of Patent Documents 1 and 2 and the like, it is necessary to accurately align the hook with respect to the striker not only in the front-rear direction, which is the thickness direction of the gate, but also in the vertical direction. Is difficult to engage. On the other hand, as in the present invention, if the protruding end that can swing and displace the locking mechanism 11 about the vertical axis 47 includes a tapered hook 48, the vertical position of the hook 48 relative to the striker 10 is Irrespective of this, since the engagement and fixing state can be established, it is possible to omit the exact alignment of the hook 48 in the vertical direction. In addition, since the hook 48 can be inserted and loaded into the striker 10 using the protruding end as a guide, it is not necessary to strictly align the hook 48 with respect to the striker 10 in the front-rear direction. As described above, according to the present invention, since the hook 48 can be engaged with the striker 10 only by roughly aligning, the operation of engaging the gate 2 with the support column 9 can be simplified.
In addition, according to the present invention, precise alignment in the vertical direction with respect to the support column 9 of the striker 10 at the time of construction is also unnecessary. That is, for example, in a form in which another striker 10 is attached and fixed to the support column 9, in the conventional form, it is necessary to accurately and strictly align the hook 48 and the striker 10 in the vertical direction. Therefore, it was necessary to perform accurate alignment and adjustment work in the vertical direction with respect to. On the other hand, according to the present invention, as described above, the hook 48 can be engaged with the striker 10 simply by aligning, so that the vertical direction of the striker 10 with respect to the support column 9 during construction is accurate. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform the troublesome alignment work and adjustment work. Therefore, the labor and time required for the construction of the gate can be greatly reduced, and the increase in construction cost can be surely suppressed.

  The handle case 23 includes a base portion 20 fixed to the side surface of the gate 2, a pair of upper and lower L-shaped support portions 21 and 21 extending in the front-rear direction from the upper and lower ends of the base portion 20, and an extension of the support portion 21. It can be comprised with the grip part 22 constructed between the support parts 21 * 21 in the output end part side. According to this, there is no need to open and close while firmly grasping the lever handle with the fingertip as in the case of a conventional lever-type handle, and even a child with weak grip strength or a handicapped handicapped person can reliably Opening and closing operations can be performed. In addition, it is possible to provide a gate locking device that is easy to operate, easy to use, and has a clean appearance. In addition, when the release trigger 13 is provided in the grip portion 22, the release trigger 13 can be pushed in at the same time as the gripping operation with respect to the grip portion 22. Can be done.

  If the transmission mechanism 15 provided between the release trigger 13 and the lock mechanism 11 is constituted by the slide block 35 and the interlocking arm 37, the transmission mechanism 15 is compared with the case where the transmission mechanism is constituted by a gear train or the like. Can be simplified. Therefore, it can be solved that the number of parts of the transmission mechanism 15 increases unnecessarily and the assembly cost of the gate locking device increases. Above all, since the transmission mechanism 15 can be simplified, the transmission mechanism is provided in a limited space of the handle case 23 including the base portion 20, the L-shaped support portion 21, and the grip portion 22. 15 can be assembled without difficulty.

  The lock mechanism 11 includes a pair of upper and lower hooks 48 and 48 that are swingably mounted around a vertical axis 47 provided on the support plate 46, and a hook spring 49 that moves and urges both the hooks 48 and 48 to a locked posture. If the hook 48 is formed by a hooking arm 70 that extends in the left-right direction and engages with the striker 10 and a passive arm 71 that extends in the front-rear direction and inherits the operation of the interlocking arm 37, the interlocking arm The suspension arm 70 can be displaced from the locked position to the unlocked position by displacing the passive arm 71 around the vertical axis 47 via 37. According to this, since a small swing stroke around the swing shaft 36 of the interlocking arm 37 for displacing the hook 48 from the locked position to the unlocked position is sufficient, the limited space of the handle case 23 and the gate 2 is limited. The interlocking arm 37 can be assembled without difficulty. In addition, in order to secure the swing stroke of the interlocking arm 37, it is not necessary to increase the lateral width of the base end portion 21a of the support portion 21 of the handle case 23, which contributes to the downsizing and thinning of the handle case 23. it can.

  If both hooks 48 and 48 are arranged so as to overlap each other, both hooks 48 and 48 can be arranged without difficulty even in the limited space of the gate door 2. In addition, since the swing stroke around the longitudinal axis 47 of both the hooks 48 and 48 can be sufficiently secured, the engagement with the striker 10 can be reliably released.

  The hooks 48 and 48 are connected to each other by a connecting pin 50 movably mounted in the long hole 62, and the connecting pin 50 is locked by a hook spring 49. Compared with the case where the stop arm 70 is returned to the locked posture, the return structure can be simplified, and the cost of the locking device can be reduced.

  The locking mechanism 90 includes a lock unit 91 fixed to the handle case 23, an interlocking body 92 that is rotatably supported by the lock unit 91, and a stopper 95 that is supported in the gate 2 so as to be swingable up and down. The stopper 95 is configured to receive the rotational movement of the interlocking body 92 to reach the rotation trajectory of the hook 48 and prevent the swinging rotation of the hook 48, and the unlocking posture to retreat from the rotation trajectory of the hook 48. It can be configured to be displaceable. According to this, although it is the locking mechanism 90 which can perform locking reliably, the number of components and processing cost can be reduced, and the gate locking device can be provided inexpensively as a whole.

  The operation groove 111 provided in the interlocking body 92 can be a relief notch that can absorb the displacement of the lock unit 91 from the locking operation posture to the unlocking operation posture. According to this, even when the lock 101 inserted into one of the front and rear lock units 91 and 91 is returned from the lock operation position to the release operation position and the interlocking body 92 is rotated, the operation shaft 105 rotates. It is not operated and therefore the stopper 95 can be maintained in the locked position. This means that regardless of the posture state of the stopper 95, it is possible to perform locking / unlocking operations from either of the front and rear lock units 91/91, and thus the operability of the gate is greatly improved. To do.

  The support plate 46 is provided with an exit / exit 55 that allows the stopper 95 to be inserted. When the stopper 95 is supported by the periphery of the exit / exit 55 in the locked posture, the periphery of the exit / exit Since the stopper 95 can be received by this, it is possible to reliably restrict the stopper 95 from tilting inwardly by receiving the swinging rotational force of the hook 48. This means that it is possible to prevent the engagement state between the striker 10 and the hook 48 from being inadvertently released at the time of locking, and as a result, it is possible to contribute to improving the reliability of the gate locking device.

It consists of a formed L-shaped stainless steel press-molded product. A latching rod 73 that engages with the striker 10 is formed on the protruding end of the latching arm 70. The hooking rod 73 is formed in a hook shape, ie, a tapered shape, in which the width dimension in the front-rear direction decreases toward the striker 10 side. As shown in FIG. 6, the corner portion of the distal end portion of the interlocking arm 37 that contacts and engages the passive arm 71 is rounded, and the engagement recess 74 is provided in the passive arm 71 corresponding to the distal end portion of the interlocking arm 37. Is formed. A through hole 75 allowing insertion of the connecting pin 50 is formed in the L-shaped bent portion of the hook 48, and a through hole 76 allowing insertion of the vertical axis 47 is formed in the passive arm 71.

  In a state where both hooks 48 and 48 are stacked one above the other, the connecting pin 50 is inserted into the elongated hole 62 of the upper and lower support plates 46 and 46 and the through hole 76 of the hooks 48 and 48 and protrudes from the lower support plate 46. By hooking and fixing the lower end of the pin 50, the hooks 48 can be assembled between the support plates 46 in a superimposed state. In such an assembled state, the hooks 48, 48 are shown in a locked position in which the hooks 73, 73 project in the front-rear direction and engage with the striker 10, as indicated by phantom lines in FIG. As shown in the figure, both the latching rods 73 and 73 are overlapped, and can swing and be displaced around the vertical axis 47 between the unlocking posture in which the engagement with the striker 10 is released.

  The connecting pin 50 slides along the long hole 62 according to the swinging displacement of the hooks 48. That is, when the hooks 48 and 48 are in the locked posture, the connecting pin 50 is located on the striker 10 side (left end side) in the long hole 62 (see FIG. 5), and when the hooks 48 and 48 are in the unlocked posture, The connecting pin 50 is located on the other end side (right end side) away from the striker 10 in the long hole 62 (see FIG. 7). Therefore, by urging the connecting pin 50 toward the striker 10 with the hook spring 49, each hook 48 can be urged to swing to the locked posture. The hook spring 49 includes a coil portion 49a that is externally fitted to the connecting pin 50, and two spring arms 49b and 49b that extend from the coil portion 49a. The ends of both spring arms 49b are received by recesses 77 (see FIG. 9) provided on the front and rear walls of the housing 45, and by the elastic force that moves the connecting pins 50 of the spring arms 49b and 49b to the striker 10 side. The hooks 48 are always oscillated and biased toward the locked posture.

  A striker 10 is provided on the right side wall of the support column 9 facing the movable column 7. The striker 10 includes a vertically long opening 80 provided in the right side wall, and a pair of contact plates 81 mounted so as to sandwich the right side wall from the left and right directions. The plate 81 has an opening having the same dimensions as the opening 80.

  A pair of front and rear projections 83 project from the left side wall 7c of the movable column 7 toward the support column 9 so as to sandwich the lock mechanism 11, and the right side wall of the support column 9 receives the projection 83 before and after receiving the projection 83. A pair of guide recesses 84 are formed to be recessed. The movable column 7 is applied to the support column 9 so that the projection 83 enters the guide recess 84, the front and rear positions of the movable column 7 are generally positioned, and the movable column 7 is brought into contact with the support column 9 in the closing direction. To operate. As shown in FIG. 6, the hook 48 enters the opening 80 of the striker 10, and the latching claw 73 of each latching arm 70 engages with the opening periphery of the striker 10, thereby supporting the gate 2. The pillar 9 can be engaged and fixed.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, the locking mechanism 90 for fixing the hook 48 of the locking mechanism 11 to the locking posture includes a pair of upper and lower cylinder locks (locking units) 91 fixed to the handle cases 23 and 23. A pair of front and rear interlocking cylinders (interlocking bodies) 92 that are rotatably supported by each cylinder lock 91, an operation arm 94 having a cam 93 rotated by the interlocking cylinder 92, and a vertically long stopper that is moved up and down by the cam 93 95 and a spring 96 that urges the stopper 95.

  The cylinder lock 91 is a commercially available lock, and an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a ward, a tumbler, and the like are incorporated in the lock body. A key hole 100 is opened on the outer end surfaces exposed on the front and rear surfaces of the handle case of the lock body, and an interlocking cylinder fixed to the lock shaft 102 by rotating the key 101 (FIG. 12) inserted into the key hole 100. The operating arm 94 can be rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions via 92.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the operation arm 94 is provided on the operation shaft 105 extending in the front-rear direction, the cam 93 provided in the center portion in the front-rear direction of the operation shaft 105, and the outer peripheral surfaces of both ends of the operation shaft 105. In addition, it is a resin molded product having a pair of front and rear engagement pieces 106, 106, and both ends of the operation shaft 105 are rotatably supported by the front and rear walls of the housing 45 in a cantilever manner. The interlocking cylinder 92 is a hollow cylindrical resin molded product having a bearing hole 110 that allows the end of the operation shaft 105 to be inserted, and the cylinder wall that defines the bearing hole 110 has an operation groove cut out in a quadrant shape. A pair of cutout surfaces running in the front-rear direction of the operation groove 111 are operation surfaces 112 and 112 for rotating the engagement piece 106. As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation wall 111 is formed by cutting the cylindrical wall of the interlocking cylinder 92 into a quadrant, and the operation groove 111 is changed from the locking operation force of the cylinder lock 91 to the unlocking operation posture. It is a relief notch to absorb the posture displacement. In other words, even when the key 101 inserted into the key hole 100 of the cylinder lock 91 is set in the lying position and then returned to the vertical position, the operation surface 112 does not contact the engagement piece 106, and thus the return is performed. Depending on the operation, the operation arm 94 is not rotated, and the posture state of the stopper 95 is maintained.

  As shown in FIG. 9, both engaging pieces 106 and 106 are formed so as to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the operation shaft 105 in different directions. In the present embodiment, one engagement piece 106 is formed in a state of being directed in a direction 90 degrees different from the other engagement piece 106. In response to the rotation of the operation shaft 105, the cam 93 is displaced between the recumbent posture shown in FIG. 10 and the vertical posture shown in FIG.

  The stopper 95 is a resin molded product. The stopper main body 114 extends in the vertical direction, the passive piece 115 is formed at the lower end of the stopper main body 114 and contacts the cam 93 of the operation arm 94, and the left side of the stopper main body 114. It has a spring support 116 that protrudes. As the cam 93 is displaced from the recumbent posture to the vertical posture, the stopper 95 is retracted from the rotation locus of the hook 48 (FIG. 10), and the upper end of the stopper body 114 is supported by the lock mechanism 11. It can be displaced in the vertical direction between the locking position (FIG. 11) that enters the doorway 55 provided in the plate 46, reaches the rotation locus of the hook 48, and prevents its swinging rotation. A thin guide piece 117 is provided at the upper end of the stopper main body 114, and the guide piece 117 is always located in the exit / retreat port 55, thereby preventing the stopper 95 from being inadvertently displaced in the front-rear direction. Thus, the upper end of the stopper main body 114 is prevented from coming into contact with the peripheral edge of the exit / exit 55.

  A torsion coil-shaped spring 96 is interposed between a boss 118 projecting from the upper surface of the spring receiver 116 and a boss 119 projecting from the spring receiver on the housing 45 side. The entire stopper 95 is urged to move toward the downward unlocking posture.

  In FIG. 9, reference numeral 120 denotes a kick spring that urges the cam 93 to rotate, and the kick spring 120 is attached to each of the protruding ends of the spring arms extending from both ends of the coil portion 121. It is made of a torsion coil spring forming 122, and one latching portion 122 is latched and attached to a latching pin 123 formed on the side surface of the cam 93, and the other latching portion 122 is attached to the housing 45 so as to surround the cam 93. It latches on the latch pin 125 formed in the side surface of the engagement piece 124 to be mounted.

  As described above, when the kick spring 120 is applied to the cam 93 provided on the operation arm 94, the center of the latch pin 123 connects the center of the latch pin 125 and the center of the operation shaft 105 when the posture of the cam 93 is switched. 10 and FIG. 11, the posture of the kick spring 120 changes greatly. As a result, the rotational moment by the kick spring 120 acts in the opposite direction with respect to the cam 93, so that the operation arm 94 switched to the recumbent posture or the vertical posture can be held in each posture.

  This locking device can be assembled by simply mounting and fixing each of the lock mechanism 11 and the handle 12 to the movable column 7 independently. More specifically, the release mechanism 13, the slide block 35, the interlocking arm 37, and the like are assembled in advance in the housing 45 and the handle case 23 in which the lock mechanism 11 and the unlocking mechanism 90 are assembled in advance. Each of the handles 12 made into parts can be assembled by being separately mounted and fixed to the movable column 7. By attaching and fixing the handle 12, the distal end of the interlocking arm 37 engages with the engagement recess 74 of the hook 48 of the lock mechanism 11, thereby establishing a positive mechanism from the release trigger 13 to the lock mechanism 11.

  As described above, according to the locking device according to the present embodiment, troublesome alignment work between the interlocking arm 37 and the hook 48, which is unavoidable when the interlocking arm 37 and the hook 48 are coupled and fixed by screws or press-fitting. Alternatively, there is no need for screwing work or press-fitting work to connect both 37 and 48, and the handle 12 is fixed by inserting the interlocking arm 37 into the through holes 41 of the front and rear walls 7a and 7b of the movable column 7. The interlock arm 37 and the hook 48 can be engaged simply by doing. Therefore, the assembly work can be carried out with high work efficiency without being aware of the posture state of the interlocking arm 37, the hook 48, etc., so that the workability is remarkably improved.

A locking device is constituted by a housing 45 in which the lock mechanism 11 and the like are assembled in advance as a unit part, and a handle 12 in which a release trigger 13, a slide block 35 and the like are incorporated in the handle case 23 in advance as a unit part. Therefore, even when one of the unit parts (housing 45 or handle 12) is damaged, it is possible to eliminate the malfunction by replacing only the unit part related to the damage, etc., and replace the entire locking device. Compared to the configuration, the parts replacement work can be performed quickly and easily.
In addition, since the front and rear handles 12 and 12 are provided with independent mechanisms, even if one of the front and rear handles 12 is damaged, the lock mechanism 11 can be operated by the other handle 12, and the locking device is completely It is possible to effectively prevent a malfunction. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a locking device and a gate with excellent reliability.

  Next, the operation of the gate engaging device will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, when the gate is in an open state in which the fixed state of engagement between the support column and the movable column is released, the hook 48 of the lock mechanism 11 is in the locked position, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the stopper 95 of the locking mechanism is in the unlocked posture. The release trigger 13 is in a normal posture.

  If the handle 12 is grasped from this state and the movable column 7 is operated in the closing direction (left direction) approaching the support column 9, the inclined posture of the inclined beam 4 is changed and the entire door body 5 is extended in a pantograph manner. Can do. When the movable column 7 reaches the position opposed to the support column 9, the front and rear positions of the movable column 7 are generally positioned so that the projection 83 can enter the guide recess 84, and the movable column 7 abuts the support column 9. Thus, the gate 2 is operated in the closing direction. 7, the hook 48 is inserted and loaded into the opening 80 of the striker 10, and the hooking claws 73 of the hooking arms 70 are engaged with the peripheral edge of the opening of the striker 10. The engagement fixed state with respect to the two support pillars 9 can be established. When inserting and loading the hooking pawl 73 into the striker 10, as shown in FIG. 6, the hook 48 can be inserted into the striker 10 using the protruding end of the hooking pawl 73 as a guide. That is, since the protruding end of the latching claw 73 is formed in a tapered shape, the protruding end is pushed against the opening edge of the striker 10 as the gate 2 is closed, and the latching arm 70 is unlocked from the locked position. The posture can be easily displaced to the locked posture.

  From this engaged and fixed state, the locking mechanism 90 is operated to lock the hook 48 in the locked posture. Specifically, by inserting the key 101 into the key hole 100 of the cylinder lock 91 and rotating it by 90 degrees, the operation arm 94 is rotated through the interlocking cylinder 92 and the cam 93 is moved from the lying position to the vertical position. Displace. Accordingly, the hooks 48 can be fixed in the locked posture with the stopper 95 in the locking posture as shown in FIG. More specifically, when the key 101 inserted into the keyhole 100 is rotated 90 degrees so that the key 101 changes from the vertical posture to the recumbent posture, the engagement piece 106 is formed on one operation surface 112 of the operation groove 111 of the interlocking cylinder 92. When pushed, the operating arm 94 rotates, and the cam 93 can be displaced from the lying posture to the vertical posture. At this time, when the center of the latch pin 123 exceeds the dead point on the straight line connecting the centers of the latch pin 125 and the operation shaft 105, the cam 93 is rotationally displaced to the vertical posture side by the elastic force of the kick spring 120. .

  In order to remove the key 101, it is necessary to displace the key 101 from the recumbent posture to the vertical posture, and the interlocking cylinder 92 is also rotated with the displacement of the posture. However, as described above, since the operation groove 111 is a relief notch that can absorb the displacement of the cylinder lock 91 from the locking operation posture to the release operation posture, the operation surface 112 is not related to the rotation operation of the interlocking cylinder 92 at this time. The entire operating arm 94 including the cam 93 is not rotationally displaced without contacting the joint piece 106. Therefore, the stopper 95 is maintained in the locking posture.

  When the gate 2 is opened, the unlocking operation is performed in the reverse procedure. That is, the key 101 is inserted into the keyhole 100 and rotated from the vertical position to the horizontal position. Thereby, the cam 93 of the operation arm 94 is rotated and displaced from the vertical posture to the horizontal posture while receiving the elastic force of the kick spring 120 via the interlocking cylinder 92, and the stopper 95 is displaced from the locked posture to the unlocked posture. Incidentally, the rotational operation directions of the front and rear cylinder locks 91 in the locking operation and the unlocking operation are different. In the present embodiment, the front cylinder lock 91 can be locked by rotating the key 101 counterclockwise, and can be unlocked by rotating the key 101 clockwise. On the other hand, the rear cylinder lock 91 can be locked by rotating the key 101 clockwise and can be unlocked by rotating the key 101 counterclockwise.

  After the unlocking operation, the gate 2 is opened. In the opening operation, the grip portion 22 of the handle 12 is grasped with fingers, and the release trigger 13 is pushed in at the same time to displace the release trigger 13 from the normal posture to the release posture. By the pushing operation of the release trigger 13, the slide block 35 is slid from the normal position to the operation position by the engaging claw 29, and the interlocking arm 37 is oscillated and displaced around the oscillating shaft 36. As a result, both hooks 48 are displaced from the locked posture to the unlocked posture, the engagement and fixing state of the gate 2 with respect to the support pillar 9 is released, and the subsequent opening operation of the gate 2 becomes possible. However, the pushing operation direction (D1) of the release trigger 13 matches the opening operation direction (D2) of the gate 2 (see FIG. 4). Therefore, for the purpose of performing the opening operation of the gate 2, when the grip portion 22 is grasped with a finger, the release mechanism 13 can be simultaneously pushed to release the lock mechanism 11. Furthermore, it is possible to release the lock mechanism 11 by simultaneously pushing the release trigger 13 by simply moving the gate 2 in the opening direction with a finger attached to the release trigger 13. Therefore, according to the gate locking device according to the present embodiment, the gate 2 can be opened easily and quickly without being aware of the pushing operation of the release trigger 13. The operability is greatly improved.

  As described above, according to the gate locking device according to this embodiment, the pushing operation direction (D1) of the release trigger 13 provided on the handle 12 from the normal posture to the release posture is changed to the opening operation direction of the gate 2 ( D2), the opening operation of the gate 2 and the unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 11 can be simultaneously performed with one touch, and the opening operation of the gate 2 from the engaged and fixed state can be performed quickly and with little effort. Can do. Further, since the operation direction of the release trigger 13 and the opening operation direction of the gate 2 coincide with each other, there is no possibility of erroneous operation of the release trigger 13 and the gate 2 can be reliably opened from the engaged and fixed state. .

  In the above embodiment, the lock units 91 are provided on the front and rear handles 12, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the lock unit 91 may be provided only on one handle 12. Furthermore, the locking mechanism 90 including the lock unit 91 may not be provided at all, and only the temporary lock may be performed on the striker 10 by the lock mechanism 11. The form of the gate 2 is not limited to the pantograph type. The release trigger 13 is not limited to a configuration that can swing on the horizontal shaft 26, and may be configured to be slidable with respect to the handle 12. In short, the push trigger operation direction (D1) from the normal posture to the release posture of the release trigger 13 ) And the opening operation direction (D2) of the gate 2 need only coincide.

  The locking device according to the present invention can be applied to the gate door 2 having a pair of left and right door bodies 5 and 5 as shown in FIG. In this case, the lock mechanism 11 may be provided on the movable column 7 of one door body 5 and the striker 10 may be provided on the movable column 7 of the other door body 5. The locking device according to the present invention can be applied to a sliding door or the like.
