Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine excellent in prevention of illegal unlocking using a wire or the like. <P>SOLUTION: A Pachinko machine 10 has: an outer frame 11; an inner frame 12 openably supported on the outer frame 11; and a locking device for locking the inner frame 12 to the outer frame 11. The locking device has: a cylinder lock 700 operated with a key; a sliding lever which slides in conjunction with operation of the cylinder lock 700; inner hook members which are moved and displaced in conjunction with operation of the sliding lever between an engaged position for preventing the inner frame 12 from opening and a non-engaged position for allowing opening of the inner frame 12; and inner lock members for preventing the inner hook members from sliding. The inner lock members prevent the inner hook members from sliding in an unlocking direction when external force toward the unlocking direction rather than a force from the sliding lever is applied to the inner hook members in the engaged position. Moreover, when normal unlocking operation is performed by using the key, the inner hook members can move in the non-engaged position by condition change of the inner lock members caused by the force received from the sliding lever. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine.

  Generally, in gaming machines such as pachinko machines, a gaming machine main body (inner frame) is provided to be openable and closable with respect to a fixed frame (outer frame) from the viewpoint of maintenance and the like. Therefore, the gaming machine is provided with a locking device so that a person other than the store clerk cannot open the gaming machine body without permission. Such a locking device includes a cylinder lock that is operated using a dedicated key, a plurality of hook members that are detachably attached to a plurality of locked portions that are provided on a fixed frame, and a cylinder that uses a key. 2. Description of the Related Art There is a known one having a sliding hook that interlocks a plurality of hook members in accordance with an unlocking operation of the lock. And in a locked state, each gutter member engages with the corresponding to-be-latched part, respectively, and a game machine main body cannot open | release with respect to a fixed frame. On the other hand, when the cylinder lock is unlocked with a dedicated key, the hook members are simultaneously detached from the locked portions via the sliding hooks, and the gaming machine main body can be opened.

  In recent years, gaming halls have been used for illegal activities to acquire a large number of gaming media by illegally unlocking the gaming machine body during operation and illegally operating or exchanging control devices provided on the back side of the gaming machine. Sometimes it is. Such unauthorized unlocking is usually performed by inserting a wire such as a wire from the gap between the gaming machine main body and the fixed frame, and hooking the wire to a hook member of the locking device and moving it in the unlocking direction. When an unauthorized unlocking operation is performed on any one of the flange members, the operation is transmitted to the other flange member via the sliding rod, and the entire flange member is interlocked and detached from the locked portion. The gaming machine body can be opened.

  In order to prevent such unauthorized unlocking operation, in recent years, for example, by providing a lock mechanism that restricts the movement of the sliding rod when the gaming machine body is closed, unauthorized unlocking is performed on any one of the cage members. There is also a gaming machine that prevents the movement of the saddle member in response to the unauthorized unlocking operation from being transmitted to another saddle member that has not been illegally unlocked (for example, Patent Document 1).

For example, when the gaming machine main body to which the locking device is attached is closed, such a locking mechanism is displaced by a predetermined locking member being pushed by a part of an outer frame or the like as a counterpart member, and a part of the sliding rod The movement of the sliding rod is regulated by being engaged with the sliding rod, for example, by being inserted into the frame.

  However, generally, a certain amount of play portion must be provided between the hook member engaged in the front-rear direction and the locked portion, and thus between the gaming machine main body and the fixed frame. If there is no play, the hook member and the locked portion will rub against each other when the gaming machine body is locked or unlocked, and the hook member will not slide easily, and there is a risk that locking or unlocking cannot be performed smoothly. is there. In some cases, it may be assumed that the main body of the gaming machine cannot be locked, such as an assembly error of the locked portion.

  Thus, when play is set between the heel member and the locked portion, even when the heel member and the locked portion are engaged and the gaming machine main body is properly locked, Depending on the assembly error between the gaming machine main body and the fixed frame, the lock member is not displaced by a necessary amount, and the lock member and the sliding rod may not be properly engaged. That is, the lock mechanism may not function normally. In the case where the fixed frame is made of a wooden product or the like, there is a possibility that the above-described problem may be promoted due to processing accuracy, secular change, or the like. Furthermore, by forcibly pulling the gaming machine main body forward, the engagement between the lock member and the sliding rod may be easily released. As a result, the gaming machine main body may be easily opened by an unauthorized unlocking operation of the heel member.

  The above-mentioned problem is not limited to the locking mechanism that locks the gaming machine main body and the outer frame. For example, the locking mechanism that locks the gaming machine main body and an opening / closing member that can be opened and closed with respect to the gaming machine main body. This is a problem that also applies to mechanisms and the like, and by extension, is a problem that applies not only to pachinko machines but also to other gaming machines such as slot machines.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine excellent in defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using a wire or the like.

  Hereinafter, each means suitable for solving the above-described problems will be described in terms of items. In addition, the effect etc. peculiar to the means to respond | correspond as needed are added.

Means 1. A door body supported to be openable and closable on one side on the left and right sides of the fixed frame;
A gaming machine that is attached along the left and right other sides of either the fixed frame or the door body, and includes a locking device that locks the door body with respect to the fixed frame,
The locking device is
A vertically long base frame comprising a mounting portion attached along the left and right other side portions of either the fixed frame or the door body, and a support portion projecting from the mounting portion;
A locking member operated by a key;
A sliding member provided along the support portion so as to be slidable in the vertical direction in conjunction with the operation of the locking member according to the operation of the key;
A locking position that is locked to a locked member provided on the other side of the fixed frame or the door body and restricts the opening of the door body; A saddle member that is slidable in the vertical direction at an unlocked position that allows opening,
Urging means for urging the hook member to one side in the up-down direction which is the locking direction;
The hook member is configured to slide from the locking position to the non-locking position in the unlocking direction to the other side in the up-down direction in conjunction with the operation of the sliding member,
A lock member that is slidable in the vertical direction in conjunction with the operation of the flange member and that can change between a first state (first position) and a second state (second position);
Maintaining means for maintaining the locking member in the first state,
In conjunction with the movement of the sliding member that slides the flange member in the unlocking direction, the lock member changes its state from the first state to the second state, and
When an external force in the unlocking direction is applied to the hook member in the locking position from other than the sliding member, the lock member and the lock member maintain the first state together with the hook member. By having a structure that can slide in the locking direction,
In the closed state of the door body, when an external force in the unlocking direction is applied to the flange member in the locking position from other than the sliding member, the lock member maintained in the first state is By being locked to the locked member, sliding in the unlocking direction of the flange member is restricted,
When the sliding member slides the hook member in the unlocking direction in conjunction with the operation of the locking member according to the operation of the key, the locking member is moved from the first state to the second state. By changing to the state, the lock member is not locked to the locked member, and the sliding of the flange member in the unlocking direction is allowed,
A gaming machine, wherein the lock member is disposed at least between the support portion and the heel member.

  According to the above means 1, when the lock member is provided, when the door is locked, a direct unlocking operation, i.e., an unauthorized unlocking operation, is performed on the eaves member with a wire or the like without using a key. In this case, sliding of the eaves member in the unlocking direction is restricted. That is, since the eaves member is maintained in the locking position, the door body is not allowed to open.

  On the other hand, when the unlocking operation is normally performed using the key, the lock member changes its state from the first state to the second state by receiving a force from the sliding member, and the hook member is in the unlocked position. Can be slid. That is, the flange member is detached from the locked member, and the door body is allowed to open.

  Unlike the prior art, the locking member is a counterpart member (a member on the opposite side of the fixed frame or door body on which the locking device is provided, for example, the locking device is fixed when the locking device is provided on the door body. It is not the structure which changes a state by contact | abutting to a (frame). Accordingly, there is no need to consider the direct relationship between the lock member and the counterpart member main body (for example, the contact position relationship between the lock member and the counterpart member main body). The front and rear lengths of the parts engaged with the door can be designed with a long margin in advance, and even if a certain amount of play is provided between the door body and the fixed frame, the lock member is more reliable against the locked member. It is easy to be locked to. As a result, even when an assembly error between the door body and the fixed frame is increased, problems such as deterioration of the function of the lock member due to the assembly error are reduced. In other words, larger manufacturing errors and assembly errors can be allowed, and the yield is improved.

  Further, even when the door body is forcibly pulled, the engagement between the locking member and the locked member is easily released, and the possibility that the door body is opened is low. Furthermore, since the lock member directly regulates the sliding of the collar member in the unlocking direction, not the sliding member, unauthorized unlocking can be more reliably suppressed.

  In addition, if the lock member is changed in its state by using a wire or the like, and if the lock member is illegally unlocked, the wire or the like hooked on the lock member and the lock member is operated in at least two directions. This makes it difficult to perform unauthorized unlocking operations. As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using a wire or the like is significantly improved.

  Furthermore, by disposing the lock member between the support portion of the base frame and the flange member, the exposed portion of the lock member is reduced. Accordingly, the degree of exposure of a portion where a wire rod or the like can be hooked on the lock member or a metal piece or the like can be pressed is reduced, and the above-described unauthorized unlocking operation becomes difficult. As a result, the defense performance can be further improved.

  The same applies to the following means, but the number of hook members and corresponding members to be locked is not limited to one, and a plurality of these members may be provided (with respect to the lock member and the like). The same). In this case, it is preferable that a lock member is provided corresponding to each of the plurality of flange members. In this way, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking can be further improved. However, as long as at least one is provided, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking can be sufficiently exhibited.

  The “left and right side portion” refers to one side in the left and right direction. If the “left and right side portion” is, for example, the “right side portion”, the “left and right other side portion” is the “left side portion”. Conversely, if the “left and right one side” is the “left side”, the “left and right other side” is the “right side”.

  Examples of the lock member include a cylinder lock that is rotated by inserting a key.

  In addition, in the configuration in which the flange member moves “in conjunction with the movement of the sliding member”, the sliding member and the flange member are integrally formed, or fixed to the sliding member so as not to be relatively displaced by fixing means such as screws. The configuration in which both of them move together is also included. Therefore, the flange member may be configured to be integrally formed with the sliding member, fixed to the sliding member so as not to be relatively displaced, or configured to be engaged relative to the sliding member. But you can. Of course, in the configuration in which the flange member and the sliding member are integrally formed, the lock member is disposed at least between the supporting portion and the sliding member (the supporting portion side relative to the sliding member).

  Further, as a configuration in which the urging means “urges the heel member to one side in the vertical direction that is the locking direction”, for example, a configuration in which the heel member is directly urged, a sliding member, a lock member, or the like is used. A configuration in which the power is indirectly energized is included.

  In the above means, “the lock member is disposed at least between the support part and the flange member”, but this means that the lock member is in the assembling direction (left-right direction) with respect to the support part. The structure attached in the support part side rather than the collar member is meant. Therefore, for example, a configuration in which a part of the hook portion or the like of the lock member that engages with the maintaining means protrudes on the side opposite to the support portion with respect to the assembling direction is not excluded (see below). The same applies to the means).

Mean 2. The flange member is assembled so as to be capable of relative displacement with respect to the sliding member,
The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the lock member is assembled so as to be relatively displaceable with respect to the saddle member.

  According to the above means 2, the collar member is assembled so as to be relatively displaceable with respect to the sliding member, so that even when a plurality of collar members are provided, the individual collar members are independently slid with respect to the sliding member. It can be displaced dynamically. Therefore, even if an external force is directly applied to any one of the eaves by an unauthorized unlocking operation, the other eaves do not slide, and the door body The locked state is maintained. That is, opening of the door body is not allowed. Furthermore, since the lock member is assembled so as to be relatively displaceable with respect to the collar member, the lock member can be moved in conjunction with the collar member more reliably, and the sliding of the collar member can be more reliably regulated. . As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking is further improved.

  As described above, if the lock member is changed in its state using a wire or the like, and the lock member is illegally unlocked, the lock member can When assembled to the member and in close contact with each other, it is difficult to form a gap through which a wire or the like enters. As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using a wire or the like can be further enhanced.

  Means 3. The gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the lock member is configured to change between the first state and the second state by being rotationally displaced.

  According to the means 3, it is possible to realize a change in the state of the lock member with a simpler configuration than when the lock member is slid and displaced in a substantially horizontal direction by a rack and pinion mechanism. In addition, since the lock member and the heel member can be disposed more closely, it becomes difficult to form a gap through which the wire or the like enters, and the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using the wire or the like is further enhanced. Can do.

  Means 4. When the door body is changed from the open state to the closed state, the hook member slides in the unlocking direction by contacting the locked member, and the lock member contacts the locked member. The game machine according to any one of means 1 to 3, characterized in that the state changes to the second state.

  According to the means 4, it is not necessary to perform a locking operation using a dedicated key when the door is closed, and convenience is improved. For example, the front end of the eaves member is tapered in a substantially triangular shape, and when the door body is closed, first, the inclined portion of the eaves member comes into contact with the locked member. Further, by closing the door body, the flange member is displaced in the unlocking direction against the urging force of the urging means such as a coil spring. When the eaves member gets over the locked member, the eaves member returns to the original position by the urging force of the urging means and is locked to the locked member. This completes the locking of the door. At this time, the lock member also changes its state to the second state against the maintaining force of the maintaining means such as the coil spring by coming into contact with the locked member, so that the lock member does not get in the way and smoothly The door body can be closed. When the locking of the door body is completed, the lock member automatically returns to the first state by the maintenance force of the maintenance means, and enters the locked state.

  Means 5. The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 4, wherein the urging means and the maintaining means are constituted by a single urging member.

  According to the means 5, the urging means and the maintaining means are embodied by a single urging member (for example, an elastic member such as a coil spring), thereby suppressing an increase in the number of parts and simplifying the configuration. Can be planned.

  Means 6. The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 5, further comprising a cover member that surrounds at least one of the hook member and the lock member that are locked to the locked member.

  According to the means 6, since it becomes difficult to hook the wire or the like against the hook member or the lock member that is locked to the locked member, it is possible to further improve the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking. Further, if the locked member and the cover member are integrally formed, the number of parts can be reduced.

  Mean 7 A flange portion is provided so as to face the mounting portion at a protruding side edge portion of the support portion, and the flange member and the lock member are disposed between the attachment portion and the flange portion, and the flange member Part of the locking member and part of the locking member correspondingly projecting to the outside of the base frame through a hole or a recess formed in the mounting part or the flange part. The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 6, wherein the gaming machine can be locked to the machine.

  According to the means 7, the provision of the flange portion makes it more difficult to perform an illegal act of entering a wire or the like through the gap between the flange member and the support portion and hooking it on the lock member. As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using a wire or the like can be further enhanced.

  Means 8. Corresponding to at least one of the part of the lock member formed to be engageable with the sliding member and the part of the lock member formed to be engageable with the maintaining means, 8. A gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 7, wherein a guard portion is provided.

  There is a possibility that a wire rod or the like may be easily hooked on a part of the lock member that can be engaged with another member. However, as in the above means 8, a guard portion is provided corresponding to these parts. Therefore, since it becomes an obstacle to hooking the wire or the like, it is more difficult to perform an illegal act of hooking the wire or the like on the lock member. As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using a wire or the like can be further enhanced.

Means 9. A first door supported to be openable and closable at one side on the left and right sides of the fixed frame;

  According to the means 9, the same effect as that of the means 1 can be obtained in a configuration including two door bodies. Moreover, in the said means 9, unlocking of a 1st door body and unlocking of a 2nd door body can be performed separately, sharing a sliding member. As a result, the two door bodies can be opened separately, improving convenience such as improvement in workability during maintenance and the like, and suppressing an increase in the number of parts. In addition, as 1st and 2nd operation, the rotation operation to one side and the rotation operation to the other in a cylinder lock etc. are mentioned, for example.

  In order to have a configuration in which the two door bodies are unlocked separately while sharing one sliding member as in the above-described means, each flange member is engaged with the sliding member so as to be capable of relative displacement. The configuration must be adopted. For this reason, it is possible to prevent unauthorized use by adopting a configuration in which each flange member can be moved up and down with respect to the sliding member, and a configuration in which each flange member does not move up and down by a direct unlocking operation with respect to each flange member. Required from a viewpoint. In this regard, according to the means 9 described above, each locking member can be relatively displaced with respect to the sliding member, but by providing each locking member, an unauthorized unlocking operation (such as a locking member using a wire without a key) can be performed. It is possible to prevent the hook members from moving to the unlocked position by the direct unlocking operation). That is, in the configuration in which each flange member can be relatively displaced with respect to the sliding member, each of the lock members is more effective.

  In addition, since the same structure can be respectively employ | adopted regarding the structure of a 1st and 2nd collar member, a 1st and 2nd lock member, etc., the structure described in the said means 2 thru | or 8 of the means 9 is used.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter simply referred to as “pachinko machine”) will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10, FIG. 2 is a perspective view, and FIG. 3 is a right side view. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14 are opened. However, in FIG. 4, for the sake of convenience, a nail and an accessory arranged on the surface of the game board 30, a glass unit 137 attached to the front frame set 14, and the like are omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the pachinko machine 10 includes an outer frame 11 as a fixed frame constituting the outline of the pachinko machine 10, and a gaming machine main body (first An inner frame 12 as one door body is supported to be openable and closable. The outer frame 11 is formed in a rectangular shape as a whole by, for example, a wooden plate material, and each plate material is assembled by a detachable fastener such as a small screw.

  Here, the outer frame 11 will be described with reference to FIG. An upper hinge 81 and a lower hinge 82 are provided on the left side of the outer frame 11. The upper and lower hinges 81 and 82 support the upper and lower portions of the inner frame 12 so as to be rotatable, thereby supporting the inner frame 12 so that it can be opened and closed. In addition, a pair of upper and lower receiving brackets 83 and 84 as first locked members are attached to the inner side of the right side portion of the outer frame 11 corresponding to inner flange members 613 and 614 of the locking device 600 described later. . When the inner frame 12 is closed, the inner flange members 613 and 614 are locked to the metal fittings 83 and 84, thereby restricting the opening of the inner frame 12 (see FIG. 22 and the like).

  Furthermore, a resin curtain decoration 85 is attached to the lower part of the outer frame 11. A rib 88 projecting upward is integrally formed at the back of the upper surface of the curtain decoration 85. This makes it difficult to form a gap with the inner frame 12. Further, a notch 89 is formed on the inner side surface of the right side of the outer frame 11. The notch 89 is for preventing the locking device 600 provided on the back side of the inner frame 12 from coming into contact with the outer frame 12 when the inner frame 12 is closed.

  The opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12 is set up and down on the left side when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10 as described above, and the inner frame 12 can be opened forward with the opening / closing axis serving as an axis. Yes. The inner frame 12 is mainly composed of a blue resin base 38 whose outer shape is rectangular, and a substantially elliptical window hole 39 is formed at the center of the resin base 38.

  A front frame set 14 as a front door (second door body) is attached to the front side of the inner frame 12 so as to be openable and closable.

And. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in AC 24 volt power supplied from the outside, generates + 12V power for driving various switches and motors, + 5V power for logic, backup power for RAM backup, etc. These + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. Note that operation power (+12 V power, +5 V power, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit that outputs a power failure signal SK1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SK1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal SK1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of a power failure and execute a power failure process (NMI interrupt processing).

  The power supply unit 541 normally outputs an output of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the process at the time of a power failure even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Configured to maintain the value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit that takes in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clears backup data in the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 in accordance with the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SK2 to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the respective RAMs 503 and 513 are cleared in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311.

Accordingly, the inner lock members 615 and 623 are pivotally supported with respect to the inner flange members 613 and 614 so as to be able to rotate and displace around the shaft holes 615d and 623d (guide pins 633 and 634), and the inner flange member 613 , 614 slides in the vertical direction, it slides in the vertical direction in conjunction with this.

  Corresponding to the inner lock members 615 and 623, a lock insertion hole 603d is formed in the flange portion 603a on the support plate 603 side at a position below the groove portion 603c for the inner flange members 613 and 614. The lower pieces 615c and 623c of the inner lock members 615 and 623 protrude rearward from the support plate 603 through the lock insertion hole 603d.

  Hook portions 615f and 623f are formed at the upper ends of the vertical piece portions 615a and 623a of the inner lock members 615 and 623 so as to be bent outward from the inner frame 12 on the mounting plate 602 side, that is, the front side. One end of coil springs C1 and C2 as urging members (first maintaining means and first urging means) is hooked on the hook portions 615f and 623f, and the other end is a hook provided on the mounting plate 602. It is hung on the parts 635 and 636. The upper front end side of the inner lock members 615 and 623 is normally pulled downward and forward by the tensile force of the coil springs C1 and C2, and the guide pins 631 to 634 together with the inner lock members 615 and 623 themselves. The inner flange members 613 and 614 are biased downward via the hook portions 615f and 623f. That is, the flange members 613 and 614 are normally held in a state where the guide pins 631 and 632 are in contact with the lower edge portions of the outer guide holes 627 and 628 of the support plate 603. Further, in this state, the inner lock members 615 and 623 are in a state in which the upper edge portions of the guide holes 615e and 623e are in contact with the guide pins 631 and 632, and take a reference posture as shown in FIG.

  Further, projections 615g and 623g projecting forward are formed on the front edge portions of the vertical piece portions 615a and 623a of the inner lock members 615 and 623 at positions lower than the hook portions 615f and 623f. Correspondingly, front action pieces 610b and 610c that are bent outward from the inner frame 12 are formed at the front edge of the sliding rod 610. The front action pieces 610b and 610c of the sliding rod 610 can come into contact with the protrusions 615g and 623g of the inner lock members 615 and 623. Further, corresponding to the formation positions of the protrusions 615g and 623g and the front action pieces 610b and 610c, notch recesses 613d and 614d are formed at the front edge portions of the base portions 613a and 614a of the inner flange members 613 and 614. Has been. Thus, the operations of the protrusions 615g and 623g are not hindered.

  In addition, guard portions 613f and 614f that are bent outward from the inner frame 12 are formed at the upper ends of the base portions 613a and 614a of the inner flange members 613 and 614, respectively. The guard portions 613f and 614f prevent the entry of the wire material from the outside to the hook portions 615f and 623f side and the projection portions 615g and 623g side of the inner lock members 615 and 623, and make it difficult to hook the wire material and the like against them.

  Of the sliding range of the inner flange members 613 and 614, the positions at which the guide pins 631 and 632 contact the lower edge portions of the outer guide holes 627 and 628 of the support plate 603 are received by the inner flange members 613 and 614. This is a position to be locked to the metal fittings 83 and 84. That is, this position corresponds to the locking position (reference position) of the inner flange members 613 and 614. On the other hand, the positions where the guide pins 631 and 632 abut on the upper edge portions of the outer guide holes 627 and 628 of the support plate 603 are positions where the inner flange members 613 and 614 are detached from the receiving fittings 83 and 84. That is, this position corresponds to the non-locking position of the inner flange members 613 and 614.

  Here, the structure of the metal fittings 83 and 84 will be described in detail. The receiving metal fittings 83 and 84 have a substantially box shape with the rear opening, and are provided with hole portions 83b and 84b into which the inner flange members 613 and 614 enter the front wall portions 83a and 84a. As a result, the inner flange members 613 and 614 enter the receiving brackets 83 and 84 through the hole portions 83b and 84b, respectively, inside the receiving brackets 83 and 84 (the back side of the front wall portions 83a and 84a). It is locked to. In addition, lock hole portions 83c and 84c are formed in the front wall portions 83a and 84a of the metal fittings 83 and 84 at positions below the hole portions 83b and 84b.

At the same time, when the forehead members 616, 617, and 618 slide in the vertical direction, they slide in the vertical direction in conjunction with this.

  As described above, the mounting plate 602 has lock insertion holes 667, 668, 669 corresponding to the front lock members 619, 620, 621, and via the lock insertion holes 667, 668, 669, Only the upper pieces 619b, 620b, and 621b protrude forward from the mounting plate 602.

  Hook portions 619f, 620f, and 621f are formed in the vertical piece portions 619a, 620a, and 621a of the front lock members 619, 620, and 621 at a substantially central portion on the front edge side (mounting plate 602 side). The hook portions 619f, 620f, and 621f are provided as urging members (second maintaining means and second urging means) via notch recesses 616j, 617j, and 618j of the front heel members 616, 617, and 618. One ends of the coil springs C3, C4, and C5 are hooked, and the other ends are hooked on hook portions 637, 638, and 639 provided on the mounting plate 602. Due to the tensile force of the coil springs C3, C4, and C5, the front end side of the front lock members 619, 620, and 621 is normally pulled upward and forward, and the front lock members 619, 620, and 621 themselves as well as the above. The forehead members 616, 617, and 618 are biased upward via the guide pins 651 to 653, the guide pins 657 to 659, the hook portions 619f, 620f, and 621f. That is, the forward flange members 616, 617, and 618 are normally held in a state where the guide pins 651, 652, and 653 are in contact with the upper edge portions of the outer guide holes 648, 649, and 650 of the support plate 603. Further, in this state, the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are in a state where the lower edge portions of the guide holes 619e, 620e, 621e are in contact with the guide pins 651, 652, 653, and the reference posture as shown in FIG. Take.

  In addition, protrusions 619g, 620g, and 621g protruding rearward are formed on the rear side of the lower end portions of the vertical piece portions 619a, 620a, and 621a of the front lock members 619, 620, and 621. Correspondingly, rear action pieces 610d, 610e, and 610f that are bent outward from the inner frame 12 are formed at the rear edge of the sliding rod 610. The rear action pieces 610d, 610e, and 610f of the sliding rod 610 can come into contact with the protrusions 619g, 620g, and 621g of the front lock members 619, 620, and 621. Further, corresponding to the positions where these protrusions 619g, 620g, 621g and the rear action pieces 610d, 610e, 610f are formed, the rear edge portions of the base portions 616a, 617a, 618a of the front rod members 616, 617, 618 are The bulging recessed parts 616g, 617g, and 618g which bulged to the outer side of the inner frame 12 are formed. Thereby, the operation | movement of the back action pieces 610d, 610e, and 610f of the sliding rod 610 is not prevented. The bulging recesses 616g, 617g, and 618g have a function as a guard part, and prevent the entry of the wire material or the like from the outside to the protrusions 619g, 620g, 621g side of the front lock members 619, 620, 621. In contrast, it makes it difficult to hook the wire.

  It should be noted that the position where the guide pins 651, 652, 653 abut on the upper edge portions of the outer guide holes 648, 649, 650 of the support plate 603 is within the sliding range of the front flange members 616, 617, 618. The members 616, 617, and 618 are in positions to be locked to the metal fittings 91, 92, and 93. That is, this position corresponds to the locking position (reference position) of the front heel member 616, 617, 618.

  On the other hand, the positions where the guide pins 651, 652, 653 abut against the lower edge portions of the outer guide holes 648, 649, 650 of the support plate 603 are the positions where the front flange members 616, 617, 618 are received by the metal fittings 91, 92, It becomes a position to leave from 93. That is, this position corresponds to the non-locking position of the front heel member 616, 617, 618.

  Here, the structure of the metal fittings 91, 92, 93 will be described in detail. The brackets 91, 92, 93 include attachment portions 91 a, 92 a, 93 a that are fixed to the back side of the front frame set 14, and extension portions 91 b, 92 b that extend backward from the attachment portions 91 a, 92 a, 93 a, 93b, engaging portions 91c, 92c, 93c extending from the rear end portions of the extending portions 91b, 92b, 93b to the inner side of the front frame set 14 and engaged with the front saddle members 616, 617, 618; It has.

  In addition, insertion holes 91d, 92d, and 93d are formed in the attachment portions 91a, 92a, and 93a in correspondence with the forward flange members 616, 617, and 618, and the forward flange members 616, 617, and 618 are received by the receiving metal 91. , 92, 93, the tips of the heads 616c, 617c, 618c of the front heel members 616, 617, 618 are inserted into the insertion holes 91d, 92d, 93d (see FIG. 23). ).

  Further, through holes 91e, 92e, and 93e are formed in the engaging portions 91c, 92c, and 93c of the metal fittings 91, 92, and 93 in correspondence with the front lock members 619, 620, and 621, respectively. , 617, 618 are engaged with the metal fittings 91, 92, 93, the upper pieces 619b, 620b, 621b of the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are inserted into the insertion holes 91e, 92e, 93e. A state is reached (see FIG. 23).

  In addition, the sliding rod 610 is normally at a position where the lower edge portions of the inner guide holes 625 and 626 are substantially at the same height as the lower edge portions of the outer guide holes 627 and 628 of the support plate 603, and The upper edge portions of the guide holes 645, 646, and 647 are held at positions that are substantially the same height as the upper edge portions of the outer guide holes 648, 649, and 650 of the support plate 603. This position corresponds to the reference position of the sliding rod 610. When the sliding rod 610 is in the reference position, the lower edge portion of the inner guide holes 625 and 626 engages with the guide pins 631 and 632 of the inner rod members 613 and 614, that is, the coil springs C1 and C2 are pulled. The upward movement is suppressed by the force, and the upper edge portions of the inner guide holes 645, 646, 647 are engaged with the guide pins 651, 652, 653 of the front member 616, 617, 618. That is, the downward movement is suppressed by the tensile force of the coil springs C3, C4, and C5. And when the cylinder lock 700 mentioned later is operated, it slides and displaces upward or downward against the tensile force of coil spring C1 grade | etc.,.

  A cylinder lock 700 as a lock member is attached to the wide portion 602b of the attachment plate 602, and the front side thereof is exposed to the front side of the front frame set 14.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the cylinder lock 700 includes a cylinder body 701 having a substantially cylindrical shape, a lock shaft 703 provided inside the cylinder body 701 and having a key hole 702 inside, and an outer periphery of the cylinder body 701. And an outer cylinder 704 provided.

  The cylinder lock 700 is fixed by screwing the flange portion 705 to the back side of the mounting plate 602 with the cylinder body 701 inserted through the mounting hole 602c of the mounting plate 602.

  The cylinder body 701 is formed with a total of 16 through-holes 706, each of which is vertically connected to the inside and outside of the cylinder body 701. Correspondingly, 16 through holes 708 communicating with the respective through holes 706 are also formed in the lock shaft 703. The key hole 702 side of the through hole 708 is formed with a smaller diameter than other parts so that a receiving member such as a pin 714 described later does not fall into the key hole 702.

  A spring 709 is accommodated in each through hole 706. One end of the spring 709 is in contact with the outer cylinder 704, and a pedestal 711 is connected to the other end. Each through hole 708 accommodates a plurality of spacers 712, 713 and pins 714 so as to be supported by the pedestal 711. The pins 714, the spacers 712 and 713, and the pedestal 711 can move up and down in the through holes 706 and 708 by the expansion and contraction of the spring 709. Among these, the pin 714 can be projected and retracted in the key hole 702 through a small diameter portion of the through hole 708 on the key hole 702 side.

  With the above configuration, when the key K is inserted into the keyhole 702, the pins 714 and the like move up and down along the concave and convex shapes on both the upper and lower sides of the key K. When the key K is completely inserted, each pin 714 enters the key K groove as shown in FIG. 19, and the base end surface of the pin 714 or one end surface of the spacer 712 or 713 And the outer peripheral surface of the lock shaft 703 are flush with each other. As a result, when the key K is completely inserted, the lock shaft 703 can be rotated as the key K is rotated. That is, the cylinder lock 700 has an internal structure in which the lock shaft 703 cannot be rotated unless at least the key K is inserted into the key hole 702.

  In addition, a cam plate 720 as an engaging member that transmits the rotation operation of the key K inserted into the key hole 702 to the sliding rod 610 is fixed to the rear end portion of the lock shaft 703.

  The cam plate 720 includes a pair of upper and lower upper engaging claws 720a and lower engaging claws 720b. These engaging claws 720a and 720b are formed at predetermined intervals in the rotational direction of the cam plate 720.

  Accordingly, an upper engagement hole 725 through which the upper engagement claw 720a can enter and exit and a lower engagement hole 726 through which the lower engagement claw 720b can enter and exit are formed in the bulging portion 610a of the sliding rod 610. Has been. Further, a through hole 730 is formed in the support plate 603 so as not to hinder the operation of both the engaging claws 720a and 720b.

  With the above configuration, when the lock shaft 703 and the cam plate 720 are in the reference position when the key K is not inserted into the key hole 702 of the cylinder lock 700, as shown in FIG. The tip of the claw 720a is inserted into the upper engagement hole 725 of the sliding rod 610, and the tip of the lower engagement claw 720b is inserted into the lower engagement hole 726 of the sliding rod 610.

  Further, as described above, the cylinder lock 700 according to the present embodiment is in a state where the lock shaft 703 and the cam plate 720 cannot be rotated when the key K is not inserted into the key hole 702 (a locked state in which the lock cannot be displaced). Therefore, when the cam plate 720 is at the reference position, the sliding of the sliding rod 610 is restricted by the engaging claws 720a and 720b. For example, if an external force in the unlocking direction is applied to the sliding rod 610 by improperly hooking a wire rod or the like on the sliding rod 610 at the reference position without using the key K, The joint claws 720a and 720b are hooked on the edges of the engaging holes 725 and 726 of the sliding rod 610, and the sliding displacement of the sliding rod 610 in the unlocking direction is substantially excluding the play length of the engaging hole 725 and the like. Regulated by

  A locking cover 740 is attached and fixed to the locking device 600 by a fixing means such as a screw so as to cover the back side of the cylinder lock 700. The locking cover 740 covers the engaging portion between the cam plate 720 and the sliding rod 610, and also covers substantially the entire bulging portion 610a (including the upper and lower stepped portions) of the sliding rod 610.

  Next, the operation of the locking device 600 will be described in detail. First, locking and unlocking of the inner frame 12 will be described in detail. In the locked state of the inner frame 12, the sliding rod 610 takes the reference position, so that the heads of the inner rod members 613 and 614 with respect to the metal fittings 83 and 84 fixed to the inner side of the outer frame 11 as described above. The parts 613c and 614c are locked, and the opening of the inner frame 12 is restricted (see FIGS. 22 and 24). When the inner flange members 613 and 614 are engaged with the receiving fittings 83 and 84, the lower pieces 615c and 623c of the inner lock members 615 and 623 are inserted into the lock holes 83c and 84c ( (See FIG. 22).

  Temporarily, when the inner frame 12 is in the open state, a wire rod or the like is hooked on the protrusion 613b (614b) or the head 613c (614c) of the inner collar member 613 (614) in the locking position, and the sliding collar 610 is interposed therebetween. First, when an external force in the unlocking direction (upward) is applied to the inner flange member 613 (614), the inner flange member 613 (614) slides upward as shown in FIG. The inner lock member 615 (623) slides upward. At this time, since the inner lock member 615 (623) is attracted to the mounting plate 602 side (forward and downward) by the tensile force of the coil spring C1 (C2), it slides upward while maintaining the normal reference posture. . The state in which this reference posture is maintained corresponds to the first state of the inner lock member 615 (623) in the present embodiment.

  Therefore, in the locked state of the inner frame 12, the same unlocking operation as described above is performed illegally by hooking a wire or the like to the inner collar member 613 (614) in the locking position without using the key K. In this case, the lower piece 615c (623c) of the inner lock member 615 (623) is caught by the front wall 83a (84a) of the receiving metal fitting 83 (84). That is, even if the inner collar member 613 (614) is slid in the unlocking direction, its movement is substantially restricted except for play such as the lock hole 83c (84c). Of course, the play amount of the lock hole portion 83c (84c) can be maintained even when the lower piece portion 615c (623c) of the inner lock member 615 (623) is in contact with the front wall portion 83a (84a) of the metal fitting 83 (84). The head 613c (614c) of the inner collar member 613 (614) is set to such an extent that it does not detach from the receiving metal fitting 83 (84). As a result, the inner flange member 613 (614) is not displaced to the non-locking position, and the opening of the inner frame 12 is not allowed.

  When the inner frame 12 is normally unlocked, the key K inserted into the key hole 702 of the cylinder lock 700 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. This operation corresponds to the first operation in the present embodiment. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, the cam plate 720 rotates in the same direction, and the lower engagement claw 720 b moves to the upper edge of the lower engagement hole 726 of the sliding rod 610. The sliding rod 610 slides upward so that it comes into contact and is pushed up by the lower engaging claw 720b.

  When the sliding rod 610 slides upward, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), first, the front action piece 610b (610c) of the sliding rod 610 is moved into the protrusion 615g (623g) of the inner lock member 615 (623). And push it upward. Then, the inner lock member 615 (623) is rotationally displaced against the tensile force of the coil spring C1 (C2), and the lower piece 615c (623c) is slightly retracted forward (on the mounting plate 602 side). It becomes. This state corresponds to the second state of the inner lock member 615 (623) in the present embodiment. If it will be in this state, it will be in the state which the lower piece part 615c (623c) pulled out from the lock hole part 83c (84c) of the metal fitting 83 (84), and a locked state will be cancelled | released.

  Further, when the sliding rod 610 slides upward, the guide pin 631 (632) is pulled up by the lower edge portion of the inner guide hole 625 (626) of the sliding rod 610, and as shown in FIG. The inner flange member 613 (614) slides upward against the tensile force of the coil spring C1 (C2). At this time, the inner lock member 615 (623) slides upward together with the inner collar member 613 (614). As a result, the engagement between the inner flange member 613 (614) and the receiving fitting 83 (84) is released, and the opening of the inner frame 12 is allowed.

  When the front collar members 616, 617, and 618 are in the locking position (reference position), the lower part of the inner guide holes 645, 646, and 647 of the sliding collar 610 engaged with the guide pins 651, 652, and 653 , Guide pins 651, 652, 653, and rear action pieces are disposed on the upper portions of the bulging recesses 616 g, 617 g, 618 g of the front collar members 616, 617, 618 into which the rear action pieces 610 d, 610 e, 610 f are inserted. Spaces for relative displacement of 610d, 610e, and 610f are secured. Thus, even when the sliding rod 610 is slid upward, the front rod members 616, 617, and 618 are not slid and can be maintained as they are.

  On the other hand, when the inner frame 12 is locked, the inner frame 12 can be locked without using the key K. More specifically, when the inner frame 12 in the open state is closed, the inclined portions of the head portions 613c and 614c of the inner flange members 613 and 614 come into contact with the lower sides of the hole portions 83b and 84b of the receiving metal fittings 83 and 84. . When the inner frame 12 is further closed, the inner flange members 613 and 614 are pushed upward, and once slide against the tensile force of the coil springs C1 and C2. At this time, the inner lock members 615 and 623 are rotationally displaced in contact with the front wall portions 83a and 84a. Thereafter, when the heads 613c and 614c of the inner flange members 613 and 614 exceed the front wall portions 83a and 84a, the inner flange members 613 and 614 return to their original positions by the tensile force of the coil springs C1 and C2, and the front wall portion Locked to the back side of 83a and 84a. When the inner flange members 613 and 614 return to their original positions, the inner lock members 615 and 623 also move downward and return to their original positions, and the lower piece portions 615c and 623c are inserted into the lock holes 83c and 84c. Become. As a result, the locking is completed, the opening of the inner frame 12 is restricted, and the inner locking members 615 and 623 are locked (locked state).

  Next, locking and unlocking of the front frame set 14 will be described in detail. In the locked state of the front frame set 14, the sliding hook 610 takes the reference position, so that the receiving metal fittings 91, 92, 93 (engaging portions 91c, 92c, 93c) attached to the front frame set 14 as described above. ), The heads 616c, 617c, 618c of the front saddle members 616, 617, 618 are locked, and the opening of the front frame set 14 is restricted (see FIGS. 23, 24). In the state in which the front flange members 616, 617, and 618 are engaged with the metal fittings 91, 92, and 93, the tips of the head portions 616c, 617c, and 618c are inserted into the insertion holes 91d, 92d, and 92d of the attachment portions 91a, 92a, and 93a, respectively. The upper piece portions 619b, 620b, 621b of the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are inserted into the insertion holes 91e, 92e, 93e of the engaging portions 91c, 92c, 93c. A state is reached (see FIG. 23).

  Temporarily, in the open state of the front frame set 14, a wire or the like is hooked on the protrusion 616b (617b, 618b) or the head 616c (617c, 618c) of the front heel member 616 (617, 618) in the locking position. When the external force in the unlocking direction (downward) is applied to the front collar member 616 (617, 618) without the sliding collar 610, the front collar member 616 (617, 618) is moved as shown in FIG. While sliding downward, the front lock member 619 (620, 621) slides downward in conjunction with this. At this time, the front lock member 619 (620, 621) is attracted to the mounting plate 602 side (forward and upward) by the tensile force of the coil spring C3 (C4, C5). To slide. The state in which the reference posture is maintained corresponds to the first state of the front lock member 619 (620, 621) in the present embodiment.

  Therefore, in the locked state of the front frame set 14, without using the key K, the unlocking similar to the above is performed illegally, for example, by hooking a wire rod or the like to the forward member 616 (617, 618) in the locking position. When the operation is performed, the upper piece 619b (620b, 621b) of the front lock member 619 (620, 621) is inserted into the insertion hole 91e of the engaging portion 91c (92c, 93c) of the receiving metal fitting 91 (92, 93). (92e, 93e) will be caught on the lower edge. That is, even if the front heel member 616 (617, 618) is slid in the unlocking direction, its movement is substantially restricted except for play such as the insertion hole 91e (92e, 93e). Of course, the play amount of the insertion hole 91e (92e, 93e) is such that the upper piece 619b (620b, 621b) of the front lock member 619 (620, 621) is inserted into the insertion hole 91e (92e) of the engagement portion 91c (92c, 93c). , 93e) is set such that the head 616c (617c, 618c) of the forward saddle member 616 (617, 618) does not detach from the catch 91 (92, 93) even in the state where it abuts against the lower edge portion. . As a result, the front saddle member 616 (617, 618) is not displaced to the non-locking position, and the opening of the front frame set 14 is not allowed.

  When the front frame set 14 is normally unlocked, the key K inserted into the key hole 702 of the cylinder lock 700 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. This operation corresponds to the second operation in the present embodiment. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, the cam plate 720 is rotated in the same direction, and the upper engagement claw 720a is moved to the lower edge of the upper engagement hole 725 of the sliding rod 610. The sliding rod 610 slides downward so as to come into contact with the upper engaging claw 720a.

  When the sliding rod 610 slides downward, as shown in FIG. 28 (a), first, the rear action piece 610d (610e, 610f) of the sliding rod 610 is the projection of the front lock member 619 (620, 621). Contact 619g (620g, 621g) and push it down. Then, the front lock member 619 (620, 621) is rotationally displaced against the tensile force of the coil spring C3 (C4, C5), and the upper piece portion 619b (620b, 621b) is rearward (on the flange portion 603a side). ) Slightly retracted. This state corresponds to the second state of the front lock member 619 (620, 621) in the present embodiment. In this state, the upper piece 619b (620b, 621b) is pulled out from the insertion hole 91e (92e, 93e) of the receiving metal fitting 91 (92, 93), and the locked state is released.

  Further, when the sliding rod 610 slides downward, as shown in FIG. 28 (b), the guide pin 651 (652, 653) is formed by the upper edge portion of the inner guide hole 645 (646, 647) of the sliding rod 610. Is pulled down, and the forehead member 616 (617, 618) slides downward against the tensile force of the coil spring C3 (C4, C5). At this time, the front lock member 619 (620, 621) slides downward together with the front collar member 616 (617, 618). As a result, the engagement between the front saddle member 616 (617, 618) and the catch 91 (92, 93) is released, and the opening of the front frame set 14 is allowed.

  When the inner flange members 613 and 614 are in the locking position (reference position), the upper portions of the inner guide holes 625 and 626 of the sliding rod 610 with which the guide pins 631 and 632 are engaged, or the sliding rod 610 Spaces for relative displacement of the guide pins 631 and 632 and the front action pieces 610b and 610c are secured below the notch recesses 613d and 614d of the inner flange members 613 and 614 into which the front action pieces 610b and 610c are inserted. Thus, even when the sliding rod 610 is slid downward, the inner flange members 613 and 614 are not slid and can be maintained as they are.

  On the other hand, the front frame set 14 can be locked without using the key K when the front frame set 14 is locked. More specifically, when the front frame set 14 in the open state is closed, the inclined portions of the head portions 616c, 617c, and 618c of the front saddle members 616, 617, and 618 are engaged portions 91c of the receiving brackets 91, 92, and 93. , 92c, 93c are in contact with the lower side. Further, when the front frame set 14 is closed, the front flange members 616, 617, and 618 are pushed downward, and once slide against the tensile force of the coil springs C3, C4, and C5. At this time, the front lock members 619, 620, and 621 come into contact with the back surfaces of the engaging portions 91c, 92c, and 93c and are rotationally displaced. After that, when the head portions 616c, 617c, 618c of the front saddle members 616, 617, 618 exceed the engaging portions 91c, 92c, 93c, the front saddle members 616, 617, 618 are caused by the tensile force of the coil springs C3, C4, C5. Returns to its original position and is locked to the engaging portions 91c, 92c, 93c. At this time, the tips of the heads 616c, 617c, 618c are inserted into the insertion holes 91d, 92d, 93d of the attachment portions 91a, 92a, 93a. When the front saddle members 616, 617, and 618 return to their original positions, the front lock members 619, 620, and 621 also move upward to return to their original positions, and the upper pieces 619b, 620b, and 621b engage with the engaging portions 91c and 92c. , 93c are inserted into the insertion holes 91e, 92e, 93e. As a result, the locking is completed, the opening of the front frame set 14 is restricted, and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are locked (locked state).

  As described above in detail, in this embodiment, the inner lock members 615, 623 and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are provided, so that the key K is not used when the inner frame 12 or the front frame set 14 is locked. When the inner hook members 613, 614 and the front hook members 616, 617, 618 are directly unlocked by a wire or the like, that is, when an unauthorized unlocking operation is performed, the inner hook members 613, 614 or the front hook The sliding of the members 616, 617, 618 in the unlocking direction is restricted. That is, since the inner flange members 613, 614 and the front flange members 616, 617, 618 are maintained at the locking positions, the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14 are not allowed to be opened.

  On the other hand, when the unlocking operation is normally performed using the key K, the inner lock members 615, 623 and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 change their states by receiving a force from the sliding rod 610, The inner collar members 613, 614 and the front collar members 616, 617, 618 can slide to the non-locking positions. That is, the inner flange members 613, 614 and the front flange members 616, 617, 618 are detached from the receiving brackets 83, 84 and the receiving brackets 91, 92, 93, and the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14 are allowed to be opened.

  The inner lock members 615, 623 and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 of the present embodiment are not configured to change state by abutting the outer frame 11 main body or the front frame set 14 main body. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider the contact position relationship between the inner lock members 615, 623 and the outer frame 11 body, the contact position relationship between the front lock members 619, 620, 621 and the front frame set 14 body, etc. For example, the front and rear lengths of the lower piece portion 615c and the like that engage with the metal fitting 83 and the like of the inner lock member 615 and the like can be designed to be longer with a margin in advance, between the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11, Even if a certain amount of play is provided between the frame 12 and the front frame set 14, the inner lock members 615, 623 and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 with respect to the brackets 83, 84 and the brackets 91, 92, 93 are provided. Is more easily locked. As a result, even if an assembling error between the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11 or an assembling error between the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14 becomes large, the inner lock members 615, 623 due to the assembling error, Inconveniences such as functional deterioration of the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are reduced. In other words, larger manufacturing errors and assembly errors can be allowed, and the yield is improved.

  Further, even when the inner frame 12 or the front frame set 14 is forcibly pulled, the engagement between the inner lock members 615 and 623 and the receiving brackets 83 and 84, or the front locking members 619, 620 and 621 and the receiving brackets 91 and 92 are performed. , 93 is easily released and the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14 are less likely to be released. Further, the inner lock members 615, 623 and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are not the sliding rods 610, but the inner rod members 613, 614 and the front rod members 616, 617, 618 slide in the unlocking direction. Since the regulation is directly performed, unauthorized unlocking can be more reliably suppressed.

  In addition, the inner lock members 615, 623 and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are changed in state by using wires or the like, and the inner collar members 613, 614 and the front collar members 616, 617, 618 are illegally unlocked. In an attempt to do so, the wire rods and the like hooked on the inner flange member 613 and the inner lock member 615 must be operated in at least two directions, so that it is difficult to perform an unauthorized unlocking operation.

  As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using a wire or the like is significantly improved.

  Further, the inner lock members 615, 623 and the front lock members 619, 620, 621 are disposed between the corresponding inner flange members 613, 614 and front flange members 616, 617, 618 and the sliding rod 610. As a result, the exposed portions of the inner lock member 615 and the like are reduced. Accordingly, the degree of exposure of a portion where a wire rod or the like can be hooked on the inner lock member 615 or the like, or a metal piece or the like can be pressed is reduced, and the above-described unauthorized unlocking operation becomes difficult.

  Further, since the flange portion 603a is provided at the rear edge portion of the support plate 603, the wire rod or the like enters from the gap between the inner flange member 613 and the sliding rod 610 and is caught by the inner lock member 615 or the like. Action becomes more difficult.

  In addition, the inner flange members 613 and 614 are provided with guard portions 613f and 614f, and the front flange members 616, 617 and 618 are provided with bulging recesses 616g, 617g and 618g which function as guard portions. This makes it difficult to hook a wire or the like to the hook portions 615f and 623f of the inner lock members 615 and 623, the protrusion portions 615g and 623g, the protrusion portions 619g, 620g, and 621g of the front lock members 619, 620, and 621.

  As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking using a wire or the like can be further enhanced.

  In the present embodiment, while the sliding rod 610 is shared, the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14 can be opened separately, thereby improving workability during maintenance and suppressing an increase in the number of parts. can do. In such a configuration, a configuration in which the inner flange members 613 and 614 and the front flange members 616, 617, and 618 are engaged with the sliding rod 610 so as to be movable up and down is unavoidable. , 614, etc., the defense function for preventing the inner collar members 613, 614, etc. from moving up and down is more effective.

  Furthermore, since the inner flange members 613, 614 and the front flange members 616, 617, 618 are configured to be slid and displaced independently of each other, any one of the inner flange members 613, 614 is temporarily assumed by an illegal act, Or, even if one of the front heel members 616, 617, 618 has been slid in the unlocking direction, the other does not slide, so the locked state of the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14 is maintained, Opening is not allowed. As a result, the defense performance against unauthorized unlocking is further improved by a synergistic effect with the inner lock member 615 or the like that regulates the sliding displacement of the inner collar member 613 or the like in the unlocking direction.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when locking the inner frame 12 and the front frame set 14, it is comprised so that locking can be performed without using the key K. FIG. More specifically, when locking the inner frame 12 or the like, the inner collar member 613 or the like comes into contact with the receiving metal 83 or the like against the tensile force of the coil spring C1 or the like and is temporarily displaced in the unlocking direction. The lock member 615 or the like comes into contact with the metal fitting 83 or the like and is rotationally displaced. Thereafter, the inner flange member 613 and the like return to their original positions by the tensile force of the coil spring C1 and the like, and when locking is completed, the inner lock member 615 and the like return to their original postures. As a result, the opening of the inner frame 12 and the like is restricted, and the locked state where the lock is applied by the inner lock member 615 and the like. With such a configuration, the inner frame 12 and the like can be closed smoothly without the inner lock member 615 and the like being in the way, and workability is improved.
