Description

  The present invention relates to a movement restriction holding mechanism suitably used for locking a plate-like locking object, and a file using such a movement restriction holding mechanism.

Conventionally, various mechanisms have been conceived for holding a plate-like locking object in a state of being received in a locking object receiving part. As an example of such a mechanism, for example, in a locking device that can be locked in a state in which a locking object (card key) is inserted into a locking object receiving portion (slot), the locking object is locked. A mechanism for locking to the receiving part is mentioned. (For example, see Patent Document 1.)
JP 2002-235467 A

  By the way, in the structure of patent document 1, in order to hold | maintain a latching target object in a latching target object receiving part, the cam means which consists of a leaf | plate spring material is rotatably attached to a core on the main body (door knob) side, A rear plate having a projection that can be engaged with the free end of the cam means is provided, and the core is moved by being biased by an object to be locked. And in a state where the locking object is received in the locking object receiving part, the free end of the cam means engages with the protrusion of the rear plate and the intermediate part of the cam means abuts on the upper surface of the core. The core and card are held. That is, in such a configuration, it is necessary not only to provide a locking object receiving portion in the main body, but also to secure a rear plate installation space and a cam means operating space on the main body side.

  On the other hand, when various types of information printed on papers are disclosed to a large number of unspecified outsiders in companies, government offices, etc., they can be viewed in a state of being bound to a file equipped with a binding tool having a manual operation unit instead of a booklet. It may be. At that time, the manual operation part and the parts that move in conjunction with the manual operation part only when the card-like key as the locking object is received and held in the locking object receiving part provided in the file main body as the main body. To enable the insertion and removal of papers, and when browsing, make sure that the object to be locked is not received by the locking object receiving part and moves in conjunction with the manual operation part and the manual operation part There is a need to make parts inoperable and make it difficult for external viewers to remove paper. However, the holding mechanism for a locking object such as that described in Patent Document 1 requires a large number of parts and a large installation space, so that it is difficult to install in a limited space such as a file.

  In order to solve such problems, the present invention makes it possible to attach and detach an object to be locked with a simple operation, and to lock the object to be received in the object to be locked with a small number of parts and a small installation space. It is configured to realize a configuration for locking an object.

  That is, the movement restriction holding mechanism according to the present invention engages with the locking portion of the locking object and locks the locking object when the locking object is received in the locking object receiving portion provided in the main body. A locking body that is held in a state of being received in the object receiving portion, and an operating portion that is provided on the locking body itself and that causes the locking body to be detached from the locking portion when receiving a manual operation force; And an urging unit that urges the locking object in a direction of discharging the locking object from the locking object receiving part when the locking body is detached from the locking part.

  If it is such, since the said operation part is provided in the said latching body itself, manual operation force is given to the said operation part, and it is made to detach | leave this latching body from the said latching part. Such a movement restricting and holding mechanism can be provided in a small installation space with a small number of parts, while enabling the object to be locked and detached to be attached and detached with a simple operation.

  As an aspect in which such a movement restriction holding mechanism can be realized with a small number of parts, the plate-shaped locking body is provided on the main body so that a seesaw operation is possible, and one end of the locking body is locked to a locking object. And the other end portion of the locking body as the operation portion. If it is such composition, by setting both ends of the above-mentioned locking object to the part which engages with the locking part of a locking object, and the above-mentioned operation part, and giving an operating force to the above-mentioned operation part This is because a seesaw operation is performed on the locking body so that one end of the locking body can be detached from the locking portion of the locking object.

  Furthermore, as a configuration for causing such a movement restriction holding mechanism to function as a lock mechanism using a key, it is possible to engage one end edge of the locking body only with a locking portion of a specific locking object. For example, there may be mentioned one in which selective engagement means is provided between the locking body and the locking portion. If it is such, since the one end edge of the said locking body does not latch to the latching | locking parts other than a specific latching target object, it is latched except those who hold the specific latching target object. This is because the operation of holding the object in the locking object receiving part cannot be performed.

  A configuration in which such a movement restriction holding mechanism can be realized with a smaller number of parts includes one in which the main body and the locking body are integrally formed via a connecting shaft.

  And, as a preferred mode of use of the movement restriction holding mechanism as described above, the file body as the main body, the binding tool provided in the file main body, and the locking object reception provided in the file main body or the binding tool The above-described movement restriction holding mechanism that holds the opening operation permission element that is the locking object in the portion, and the binding tool is bound when the opening operation permission element is not received in the locking object receiving portion. A file including an operation restriction mechanism that restricts an opening operation that is an operation at the time of shifting from the state to an opening state in which paper can be inserted and removed.

  If this is the case, when inserting or removing the paper, it is easy to perform an operation of holding the opening operation permission element in a state of being received in the locking object receiving portion using the movement restriction holding mechanism. In other states, an operation force is applied to the operation portion to release the opening operation permission element out of the locking object receiving portion, and the operation limiting mechanism is operated to restrict the opening operation. Therefore, by adopting such a configuration for a file that binds documents to be browsed by an unspecified number of people, particularly in companies and government offices, it is possible to suppress the extraction of documents by the viewer.

  If the movement restriction holding mechanism according to the present invention is employed, the operating portion is provided on the locking body itself, and a manual operating force is applied to the operating portion to release the locking body from the locking portion. Therefore, such a holding mechanism can be provided in a small number of parts and in a small installation space while enabling the object to be locked to be attached and detached with a simple operation.
