There is one shown in Publication No. 8. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a conventional locking device, and FIGS. 6 and 7 are views for explaining the attachment of a lock bar, etc. in FIG. 5.

In these figures, 1 is a cover having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and 2 and 3 are knobs that are guided by the inner surface 4 of the cover 1 and perform relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the cover 1. here,
Relative movement refers to movement of the knobs 2.3 toward and away from each other. Furthermore, in order for the knobs 2 and 3 to slide smoothly, linear protrusions extending in the sliding direction are formed on the sliding surfaces of the knobs 2 and 3 to reduce slipping friction. . 5
is a rotor having a pin 6.7 as a first abutment at one end. The pin 6.7 of this rotor 5 is
The knobs are arranged so as to sandwich the center of rotation of the knobs 2 and 3, and come into contact with the protruding surfaces 8 and 9 of the knobs 2 and 3 after being introduced. That is, the pin 6 is brought into contact with the protruding surface 8 serving as the second contact portion, and the pin 7 is brought into contact with the protruding surface 9 serving as the third contact portion.

A base 10 rotatably supports the rotor 5 with its cylindrical portion 11. This base 10 is fitted into the groove 12 of the cover 1. The protrusion 14 is located within the recesses 15 and 16 of the knobs 2 and 3, and serves to limit the stroke of the knob 23 to a certain range. Reference numeral 17 denotes a rotating plate that is attached to the rotor 5, and this attachment is achieved by fitting the claw 19 of the rotor 5 into the square hole 18 in the center of the rotating plate 17. Further, a pair of pins 20 and 21 are implanted in the rotating plate 17 at substantially symmetrical positions with respect to its center of rotation. 2
Reference numerals 2 and 23 denote lockers disposed on both sides of the rotary plate 17, and strikers 26 and 27 are disposed outside of the claws 24 and 25. 28.29 is a wire, lock par 2
The pin 30.31 implanted in 2.23 and the pin 20.21 of the rotating plate 17 are linked. Also, 32.33 is a spring, and the lock par 22.23 is the striker 26.

As can be seen from the figure, the lock par 22 is guided by a guide 35 that is integrally molded or fixed to the lid 34 and faces a striker 26 that is integrally molded or fixed to the dash board 36. The guiding direction of this guide 35 is approximately the same as the direction of the straight line connecting the locking pars 22 and 23. Also, spring 3
2 is supported by a spring retainer 37 integrally molded or integrally fixed to the lid 34. The attachment of the lock par 23 and the spring 33 is exactly the same as that of the lock par 22 and spring 32 described above. Note that the base 10 is attached to the lid 34 using the female threaded portion 38.

Next, the operation of the locking device configured as described above will be explained. The springs 32.33 cause the locking part 22.
