Can do. As a result, when an operation force in the vertical direction Z is applied to the operation knob 25, this operation force is transmitted to the first slider 35 via the pair of engaging members 53 and the operation shaft 54.

  12A and 12B, even when the first slider 35 is in the lower unlocking position P12 and the second slider 36 is in the lower position P22, a pair with the operation shaft 54 in the vertical direction Z is also provided. Since the engagement member 53 is in the same position, when the operation knob 25 is located at the first rotation position P31, the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engagement members 53 are Engage with each other up and down.

  Referring to FIGS. 10A and 10B, on the other hand, when the first slider 35 is at the upper locking position P11 and the second slider 36 is at the upper position P21, the operation dial 25 is moved in the second rotation. When located at the position P32, the operation dial 25 is in a vertically long posture, and the pair of engaging members 53 are arranged side by side with the operation shaft 54 interposed therebetween. Thereby, the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engaging members 53 do not contact each other in the vertical direction Z, and the engagement in the vertical direction Z is released. In a state where the engagement is released, the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engagement members 53 can move relative to each other in the vertical direction Z. As a result, for example, even if the operation knob 25 moves up and down, the first slider 35 can be prevented from moving. Even if the operation force in the vertical direction Z is applied to the operation knob 25, this operation force is not transmitted to the first slider 35.

  As shown in FIGS. 10A, 10B, 11A, 11B, 13A, 13B, 14A, and 14B, the operation is performed regardless of the positions of the first slider 35 and the second slider 36 in the vertical direction Z. When the knob 25 is located at the second rotation position P32, the vertical engagement of the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engagement members 53 is released. Further, when the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engaging members 53 are at different positions in the vertical direction Z (see FIGS. 11B and 14B), the engagement is released.

  With reference to FIG. 10A, FIG. 10B, FIG. 11A, and FIG. 11B, in this embodiment, the operation knob 25 is displaced to the second rotation position P32 in a state where the first slider 35 is in the upper locking position P11. Thus, when the operation knob 25 and the first slider 35 are switched to a state in which the operation knob 25 and the first slider 35 can move relative to each other, the second slider 36 is displaced to the lower position P22 together with the operation knob 25 by its own weight.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engaging members 53 are separated in the vertical direction Z, so that the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engaging members 53 are the same in the vertical direction Z. Compared with the case where it exists in a position, crime prevention can be improved further. Moreover, it is preferable because the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engaging members 53 can be reliably and autonomously separated. In addition, since the dead weight is used, the structure can be prevented from becoming complicated.

In order to unlock the sliding door lock 1 in this case, first, the operation knob 25 is moved to the upper position P21 (see FIG. 10B), and the operation knob 25 is turned to the first rotation position P31 at the upper position P21. Next, the operation knob 25 is moved to the lower position P22 while maintaining the first rotation position P31 (see FIG. 12B).
Such an operation for unlocking has no problem for the operator on the indoor side. However, for an operator who tries to operate from the outside through a hole opened in the sliding door with malicious intention, the sliding door lock 1 cannot be unlocked unless the operation for unlocking is known. Even if the operation is known, it becomes extremely difficult to unlock the sliding door lock 1. As a result, crime prevention can be improved.

  13A, 13B, 14A, and 14B, and when the first slider 35 is in the lower unlocking position P12 and the second slider 36 is in the lower position P22, the operation knob is selected. The engagement of the operation shaft 54 and the pair of engagement members 53 is also released when 25 is positioned at the second rotation position P32. At this time, the operation knob 25 can be freely moved up and down while the first slider 35 is maintained at the unlocked position P12. In this case, careless locking of the sliding door lock 1 can be prevented.

Referring to FIGS. 11A, 11B, 14A, and 14B, the internal unit 5 of this embodiment includes first and second restricting members 56 and 57 that restrict the rotation of the operation knob 25 when predetermined. Have.
Referring to FIGS. 14A and 14B, the first restricting member 56 is configured such that the operation knob 25 and the second slider 36 are at the upper position P21 and the first slider 35 is at the unlocked position P12. The rotation of the operation knob 25 is restricted at the second rotation position P32. The first restricting member 56 is located at a position spaced a predetermined distance above the operation shaft 54 in the vertical direction Z, that is, the first slider 35 is at the unlocking position P12 below, and the second slider 36 Is located at the same position as the pair of engaging members 53 with respect to the vertical direction Z.

  Referring to FIGS. 11A and 11B, the second restricting member 57 is in the second rotation position P32 when the operation knob 25 is at the lower position P22 and the first slider 35 is at the lock position P11. The rotation of the operation knob 25 is restricted. In the vertical direction Z, the second restricting member 57 is positioned at a predetermined distance below the operation shaft 54, that is, the first slider 35 is at the upper locking position P11, and the second slider 36 is When in the lower position P22, it is disposed in the same position as the pair of engaging members 53 in the vertical direction Z.

The first restricting member 56 and the second restricting member 57 have the same configuration except that the mounting position in the vertical direction Z of the first slider 35 is different. Hereinafter, the first restricting member 56 will be mainly described.
FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view of the first and second restricting members 56 and 57 and the attachment member 58. Referring to FIGS. 1B and 15, the first regulating member 56 is a prismatic member formed of a synthetic resin member. The first regulating member 56 is a regulating surface and has a pair of left and right side surfaces 90 as opposed surfaces. With respect to the left-right direction X, the distance between the left and right side surfaces 90 of the first restricting member 56 (dimension with respect to the left-right direction X) is set to a value slightly smaller than the distance between the pair of engaging members 53.

  With reference to FIGS. 2 and 15, the first restricting member 56 is fixed to an attachment member 58 fixed to the second receiving portion 48 of the first slider 35. The attachment member 58 is formed of a long metal plate. A pair of locking portions 59 for holding the first and second restricting members 56 and 57 are cut and raised at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the metal plate. These locking portions 59 are fitted in slits 60 formed in the first and second restricting members 56 and 57.

  Referring to FIG. 11A, with respect to the vertical direction Z, when the first restricting member 56 and the pair of engaging members 53 are at the same position, the left and right when the operation dial 25 is at the second rotation position P32. The engagement surfaces 53a of the pair of engagement members 53 and the left and right side surfaces 90 of the first restriction member 56 face each other and come into contact with each other, whereby the pair of engagement members 53 and the operation knob 25 are rotated. Being regulated.

By providing the first and second restricting members 56 and 57, the sliding door lock 1 is easily operated.
Here, the case where there is no 1st control member 56 as a comparative example is assumed. In this case, when the operation knob 25 is at the lower position P22 and the first slider 35 is at the upper locking position P11, the operation knob 25 is positioned at the first rotation position P31 (horizontal position). There is. Even if the operation knob 25 at the first rotation position P31 is moved up and down, the operation shaft 54 cannot be fitted between the pair of engagement members 53, so that it cannot be unlocked.

  Moreover, the case where there is no 2nd control member 57 as a comparative example is assumed. In this case, when the operation knob 25 is at the upper position P21 and the first slider 35 is at the lower unlocking position P12, the operation knob 25 is positioned at the first rotation position P31 (horizontal position). Sometimes. Even if the operation knob 25 at the first rotation position P31 is moved up and down, the operation shaft 54 cannot be fitted between the pair of engagement members 53, and thus cannot be locked.

  The first and second restriction members 56 and 57 may be formed separately from the attachment member 58 and attached to the locking portion 59. Moreover, you may insert-mold the 1st and 2nd control members 56 and 57 to the attachment member 58 as an insert. As a result, the first and second restricting members 56 and 57 can be attached to the engaging portion 59 of the attachment member 58 when the synthetic resin of the first and second restricting members 56 and 57 is formed by the mold. Fixed.

Further, instead of the first restriction member 56, the second restriction member 57, and the attachment member 58, the first restriction member 56A, the second restriction member 57A, and the attachment member 58A shown in FIG. 16 may be used. Good. The first restricting member 56A, the second restricting member 57A, and the mounting member 58A are all integrally formed of a synthetic resin member.
Further, instead of the first restriction member 56, the second restriction member 57, and the attachment member 58, the first restriction member 56B, the second restriction member 57B, and the attachment member 58B shown in FIG. 17 may be used. Good. The first restriction member 56B, the second restriction member 57B, and the attachment member 58B are all made of metal, and are integrally formed by press-molding a metal plate.

Further, either one of the first and second regulating members 56 and 57 may be provided. The same applies to the first and second regulating members 56A and 57A. The same applies to the first and second regulating members 56B and 57B.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 6, the operation knob 25 is detachably held on the makeup seat 20. More specifically, the second slider 36 is held by the dressing seat 20, the connection member 43 is held by the second slider 36, and the operation knob 25 is detachably held by the connection member 43. . Hereinafter, when not specifically described, a state in which the operation knob 25 is attached to the connection member 43 will be described.

  The connection member 43 connects the operation knob 25, the first slider 35, and the second slider 36 to each other. The connection member 43 is formed separately from the operation knob 25 and the second slider 36. The connecting member 43 includes a pair of engaging members 53, a fitting portion 61 fitted in the fitting hole 42 of the second slider 36, and an engaging convex portion 62 as an engaging portion that engages with the operation knob 25. And have. The pair of engaging members 53, the fitting portion 61, and the engaging convex portion 62 are integrally formed by a single member.

The pair of engaging members 53 are extended from the connecting member 43 along the front-rear direction Y. The distance between the pair of engagement members 53 is larger than the diameter of the operation shaft 54 so that the operation shaft 54 can be fitted between the pair of engagement members 53.
The fitting part 61 has a partial cylindrical surface. The cylindrical surface of the fitting part 61 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole 42. Thereby, the connection member 43 and the operation knob 25 are guided and rotated around the central axis (corresponding to the predetermined axis C1) of the fitting hole 42.

The engaging convex portion 62 has a prismatic shape and is disposed so as to protrude forward from the second slider 36. The engagement convex portion 62 is fitted in an engagement concave portion 64 as an engagement portion of the operation knob 25, thereby holding the operation knob 25, and the engagement protrusion 62 and the operation knob 25 are Relative rotation around a predetermined axis C1 is restricted.
Further, the relative movement in the front-rear direction Y between the engaging convex portion 62 and the operation knob 25 is restricted. That is, the engaging convex part 62 has a pair of protrusions 63 protruding in a direction intersecting with the front-rear direction Y. Further, a pair of concave grooves 65 are formed in the engaging concave portion 64 of the operation knob 25. The protrusion 63 and the groove 65 are engaged in a state in which the engagement protrusion 62 of the connection member 43 is fitted in the engagement recess 64 of the operation knob 25. In addition, an inlet opening 66 (see FIG. 19) is formed in the engaging recess 64 of the operation knob 25 in the direction in which the pair of recessed grooves 65 extend.

  In addition, in the state where the operation knob 25 is attached to the connection member 43 and the fitting portion 61 of the connection member 43 is fitted in the fitting hole 42 of the second slider 36, the operation knob 25 and the connection member 43 are paired. A second slider 36 is sandwiched between the shoulder 53 b of the engaging member 53. Thereby, the operation knob 25 and the connection member 43 are restricted from being detached from the second slider 36.

  Referring to FIG. 6, the sliding door lock 1 of the present embodiment generates a holding force for holding the operation knob 25 at each of the first rotation position P31 and the second rotation position P32 with a predetermined holding force. It has a biasing member 67 as a member. As a result, the occurrence of the displacement of the operation knob 25 from the first and second rotation positions P31 and P32 is suppressed, and as a result, it becomes easier to lock and unlock.

  FIG. 18A is a rear view of the connection member 43 and the urging member 67 (viewed from the outdoor side) and shows a state in which the operation knob 25 is at the second rotation position P32. FIG. 18B is a rear view of the connection member 43 and the urging member 67 and shows a state where the operation dial 25 is at an intermediate position between the second rotation position P32 and the first rotation position P31. FIG. 18C is a rear view of the connection member 43 and the urging member 67 and shows a state in which the operation dial 25 is at the first rotation position P31.

  Referring to FIGS. 6 and 18A, the urging member 67 has a rectangular frame shape. The urging member 67 has a pair of support portions 68 that are opposed to each other and formed with relatively high rigidity, and a pair of spring portions 69 that are opposed to each other and formed with relatively low rigidity. The support portion 68 has an L-shaped cross section. The pair of spring portions 69 has a flat plate shape, functions as a leaf spring, and can be elastically deformed when pressed.

18A, 18B, and 18C, the urging member 67 is accommodated in the holding recess 70 of the second slider 36, and is held between the bottom of the holding recess 70 and the holding member 40. ing. In this state, the relative rotation between the urging member 67 and the second slider 36 is restricted.
The biasing member 67 can be engaged with the pair of engaging members 53. Since the pair of engaging members 53 rotate integrally with the operation knob 25, the operation knob 25 is biased when the pair of engagement members 53 is biased in the rotation direction. The urging member 67 may be engaged with the operation knob 25, may be engaged with the connection member 43, and is engaged with at least one of the operation knob 25 and the member that rotates integrally with the operation knob 25. It should be possible. The urging member 67 prevents the operation knob 25 from rotating in the direction away from the first and second rotation positions P31 and P32 in the vicinity of the first and second rotation positions P31 and P32. Then, the pair of engaging members 53 are biased.

The pair of engaging members 53 have four corners 71 as portions that can come into contact with the urging member 67. When the operation knob 25 rotates, the corner portion 71 presses the support portion 68 and the spring portion 69 of the biasing member 67.
When the operation knob 25 is located at the first rotation position P31, the urging member 67 is elastic even if the engagement member 53 and the urging member 67 are not in contact with each other or are in contact with each other. It is not deformed. When the operation knob 25 is rotated at a small angle from the first rotation position P31, the corner portion 71 of the engagement member 53 and the spring portion 69 of the biasing member 67 are reliably in contact with each other. When the operation knob 25 is further rotated away from the first rotation position P31, the corner portion 71 of the engagement member 53 presses the spring portion 69 of the biasing member 67 to be elastically deformed. Further, the corner portion 71 of the engagement member 53 slides on the support portion 68 of the biasing member 67. At this time, the operation knob 25 rotates while resisting the elastic restoring force of the urging member 67. In other words, the elastic restoring force acts as a predetermined holding force held at the first rotation position P31 so as to prevent the operation knob 25 from moving away from the first rotation position P31.

Similarly, when the operation knob 25 is rotated from the second rotation position P32, the elastic restoring force of the urging member 67 acts as a predetermined holding force held at the second rotation position P32.
Thus, the urging member 67 can hold the operation knob 25 at the first and second rotation positions P31 and P32 with a predetermined holding force.
By the way, as shown to FIG. 11B, when the sliding door lock 1 exists in the locked state, the operation dial 25 exists in the downward position P22. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 12B and FIG. 13B, the operation dial 25 is at the lower position P22 even in the unlocked state. Thus, since the operation knob 25 is at the lower position P22 in either the locked state or the unlocked state, it is difficult to visually determine whether the sliding door lock 1 is locked or unlocked. There is concern.

Therefore, first and second locking display portions 73 and 74 for displaying that the sliding door lock 1 is locked are provided. In the locked state shown in FIG. 11B, the first locking display unit 73 is visible. Therefore, it can be easily confirmed that the sliding door lock 1 is locked by visual observation.
FIG. 19 is a partial cross-sectional view of the sliding door lock 1 of FIG. 1B and shows the locked state of FIG. 11B. FIG. 20 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, in the first locking display portion 73, the first slider 35 is in the upper locking position P11, and the second slider 36 and the operation knob 25 are in the lower position P22. , The fact that the sliding door lock 1 is locked is displayed.
The first locking display unit 73 is provided on the top 75 of the first regulating member 56 of the first slider 35. The first locking display unit 73 is formed of a material that is easily visible. As the easily visible material, a light-emitting material such as a phosphorescent material or a fluorescent material is preferable. Specifically, a red paint containing a material that is easily visible is applied to the top 75 of the first regulating member 56. Examples of the fluorescent material include fluorescent pigments such as ZnS, and examples of the phosphorescent material include phosphorescent pigments such as Al2 O3, BaCO3, and SrCl2.

The dressing seat 20 has an opening 38 where the second slider 36 faces. A window 76 is formed in the second slider 36. A convex lens 77 is provided in the window 76.
When the first slider 35 is at the upper locking position P11 and the second slider 36 is at the lower position P22, the first locking display portion 73 and the window 76 are located at the same position in the vertical direction Z. The first lock display unit 73 faces the window 76. At this time, the window 76 is located in the opening 38 of the cosmetic seat 20. Through this window 76, the first locking display part 73 is visually recognized. Thereby, it is easily understood that the lock is applied.

  Further, since the convex lens 77 is provided on the window 76, the first locking display portion 73 between the makeup seat 20 and the case 19 can be more easily recognized. For example, as described later, when the thickness of the sliding door 4 is thick, there is a concern that the distance between the first lock display portion 73 and the window 76 becomes relatively long, and the visibility is lowered. However, in the present embodiment, since the first lock display portion 73 appears to be enlarged by the convex lens 77, there is no possibility of the above-described decrease in visibility.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 6, in the second locking display unit 74, the first slider 35 is in the upper locking position P <b> 11 and the second slider 36 and the operation knob 25 are in the upper position P <b> 21. , The fact that the sliding door lock 1 is locked is displayed.
The second locking display unit 74 is provided on the surface on the indoor side of the second slider 36. For example, a red paint containing the above-described easily visible material is applied to a recess formed on this surface. ing. In addition, the 2nd lock | rock display part 74 is shown as a convex part for convenience of illustration in each figure of FIG. 7b, FIG. 7d, FIG. 7f, FIG. 8b, FIG. 8d, and FIG.

When the first slider 35 is in the upper locking position P11 and the second slider 36 is in the upper position P21, the second locking display portion 74 is arranged facing the opening 38 of the decorative seat 20. . When the second locking display portion 74 is visually recognized, it is easily understood that the second locking display portion 74 is locked.
12A, FIG. 12B, FIG. 13A, and FIG. 13B, when the first slider 35 is in the lower unlocking position P12 and the second slider 36 is in the lower position P22, the cosmetic seat A window 76 is located in the 20 openings 38. At this time, a part 78 of the lock member 22 of the internal unit 5 can be seen through the window 76. A part 78 of the lock member 22 is colored black, but is housed in the case 19 so that it looks black even if it is formed by a metal surface. Thereby, when the black color of the part 78 is visually recognized through the window 76, it is easily understood that the lock is unlocked.

  Thus, the part 78 of the lock member 22 functions as an unlocking display unit for displaying that the lock is unlocked. The part 78 may be colored in a color other than black and a color other than red. For example, when the first slider 35 is at the lower unlocking position P12 and the second slider 36 is at the lower position P22. In addition, it may be provided on a member that can be seen through the window 76.

In addition, the unlocking display unit and the first locking display unit 73 display whether they are locked or unlocked in different modes, for example, in different colors. It is easy to see if it is unlocked or unlocked.
Referring to FIG. 1B, the sliding door lock 1 of the present embodiment can be attached to the sliding doors 2 and 4 even when the thickness of the sliding doors 2 and 4 is not a predetermined standard value. Has been. For example, in the internal unit 5, the connection member 43 is detachably held by the second slider 36. Moreover, the 1st and 2nd control members 56 and 57 are hold | maintained at the attachment member 58 so that removal is possible. Further, the operation shaft 54 is detachably held by the first slider 35. Thereby, the internal unit 5 can be used corresponding to the change of the thickness of the sliding door 4 flexibly.

  Specific examples are shown in FIGS. 21A, 21B, 22, 23A, 23B, 24A, and 24B. With reference to these drawings, each component of the connecting member 43, the first restricting member 56, the second restricting member 57, and the operation shaft 54 has a plurality of sizes prepared in advance, for example, the front-rear direction. An appropriate size can be selected and used from the three types of small, medium, and large dimensions of Y. Further, the fitting length between the pair of engaging members 53 and the operation shaft 54 is appropriately adjusted.

  Referring to FIG. 21A and FIG. 21B, for example, when the thickness of the thin sliding door 4, that is, the thickness of the sliding door 4 is thinner than the standard thickness, the above-described components 43, 54, 56, and 57 The short size is used. Further, as shown in FIG. 21A, the sliding door lock 1 can be applied to the relatively thin sliding door 4 among the thin sliding doors 4 by adjusting the fitting length to be large. 21B, the sliding door lock 1 can be applied to the relatively thick sliding door 4 among the thin sliding doors 4 by adjusting the fitting length to be small.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22, at least one spacer 90 may be interposed between the surface of the sliding door 4 and the case 19. In this case, the internal unit 5 can be applied to the thinner sliding door 4 than the sliding door 4 shown in FIG. 21A. FIG. 22 shows a case where a plurality of spacers 90 having different thicknesses are used. By using at least one spacer 90 appropriately selected from a plurality of spacers 90 having different thicknesses, it is possible to flexibly cope with changes in the thickness of the sliding door 4.

  23A and 23B, when the thickness of the sliding door 4 is a standard value, the parts 43, 54, 56, and 57 described above have a medium size in the front-rear direction Y. . Further, as shown in FIG. 23A, the sliding door lock 1 can be applied to a relatively thin sliding door 4 among the sliding doors 4 having a standard thickness by adjusting the fitting length to be large. . Moreover, as shown in FIG. 23B, the sliding door lock 1 can be applied to the relatively thick sliding door 4 among the sliding doors 4 having a standard thickness by adjusting the fitting length to be small. .

  24A and 24B, when the thickness of the thick sliding door 4, that is, the thickness of the sliding door 4 is thicker than the standard thickness, the above-described parts 43, 54, 56, and 57 are long in the front-rear direction Y. Is used. Further, as shown in FIG. 24A, the sliding door lock 1 can be applied to the relatively thin sliding door 4 among the thick sliding doors 4 by adjusting the fitting length to be large. 24B, the sliding door lock 1 can be applied to the relatively thick sliding door 4 among the thick sliding doors 4 by adjusting the fitting length to be small.

In addition, the thickness of the sliding door 4 shown to FIG. 23A and the thickness of the sliding door 4 shown to FIG. 21B are made substantially equal. Moreover, the thickness of the sliding door 4 shown to FIG. 24A and the thickness of the sliding door 4 shown to FIG. 23B are made substantially equal. Thereby, it can respond flexibly to the thickness of the sliding door 4.
Thus, the internal unit 5 of the sliding door lock 1 can be used for the sliding door 4 having various thicknesses by using the parts 43, 54, 56, and 57 having the appropriate sizes according to the thickness of the sliding door 4 as described above. Can be applied. Further, the remaining parts other than the parts 43, 54, 56 and 57 can be used in common regardless of the thickness of the sliding door 4.

35e, 35f, 36e, and 36f, when the knob unit 117 is detached from the second slider 36C, the operation shaft 101 and the engagement hole forming member 102 are disengaged. Yes. As a result, the first slider 35 and the second slider 36C can move relative to each other in the vertical direction.
35a and 36a, in this embodiment, when the operation knob 25C is at the first rotation position P31, the knob unit 117 is restricted from being removed from the second slider 36C.

  41A to 41C, in order to restrict the removal of the knob unit 117, a pair of engaging portions that can be engaged with each other and the wall 115 of the engaging recess 113 are provided. When the operation knob 25C is in the first rotation position P31, the pair of engaging portions, that is, the rear portion of the projection 109 and the front portion of the wall 115 are in positions facing each other, and therefore engage with each other. be able to. Thereby, removal of the knob unit 117 from the second slider 36C, that is, relative movement in the front-rear direction Y is restricted.

  42A to 42C, when the operation dial 25C is at the second rotation position P32, the projection 109 and the wall 115 do not face each other along the front-rear direction Y. Therefore, the projection 109 and the wall 115 Is disengaged. The protrusion 109 can pass through the opening 114. Thereby, relative movement between the second slider 36C and the knob unit 117 in the front-rear direction Y is allowed. Accordingly, the removal of the knob unit 117 from the second slider 36C and the attachment of the knob unit 117 to the second slider 36C are allowed.

With reference to FIGS. 37, 38, and 39, in this embodiment, when the operation knob 25C is detached from the second slider 36C, the second slider 36C can be displaced downward by its own weight. ing.
Referring to FIGS. 37 and 39, first and second sliders 35 and 36C are provided with first and second engaging portions 118 and 119 that can be engaged with each other. When the operation knob 25C is removed, the first and second engaging portions 118 and 119 can engage with each other in the vertical direction Z. As a result, the second slider 36 </ b> C is restricted from being displaced downward from the first slider 35. Note that the first and second engaging portions 118 and 119 may be engaged with each other in the vertical direction Z in a state where the operation knob 25C is attached.

  The first engagement portion 118 is provided on the first slider 35, and specifically, is formed integrally with the engagement hole forming member 102 and a single member. The second engaging portion 119 is provided on the second slider 36C, and specifically includes a convex portion protruding forward from the front surface of the second slider 36C. The convex portion and the second slider 36C are integrally formed of a single member.

When the first and second engaging portions 118 and 119 are engaged with each other and the second slider 36C is displaced downward by its own weight, the second slider 36C has the first slider in the vertical direction Z. Autonomously located at a position facing 35.
Specifically, when the first slider 35 is in the upper locking position P11, the second slider 36C is in the upper position P21. Further, when the first slider 35 is at the lower unlocking position P12, the second slider 36C is at the lower position P22. When the first slider 35 is at a predetermined position halfway between the upper locking position P11 and the lower unlocking position P12, the second slider 36C is between the upper position P21 and the lower position P22. At this time, the first slider 35 and the second slider 36C are at the same position in the vertical direction Z. Further, for example, as the first slider 35 moves up and down by an operation from the outdoor 8, the second slider 36 </ b> C moves up and down in conjunction with it.

  Further, when the operation knob 25C is removed and the second slider 36C can be moved upward (when the second slider 36C is not at the upper position P21), the first and first The engagement state of the two engagement portions 118 and 119 can be released. In this state, the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can be moved relative to each other in the vertical direction Z (see FIG. 38).

  Referring to each drawing of FIG. 41 and each drawing of FIG. 42, in this embodiment, the rotation range of the operation knob 25C is restricted. Both ends of the rotation range are defined as first and second rotation positions P31 and P32. In order to regulate one end of the rotation range of the operation knob 25C, a pair of engaging portions 109 that can be engaged with each other and a first end wall 120 of the engaging recess 113 are provided. The end wall 120 is provided at one end of the engagement recess 113 in the circumferential direction of the fitting hole 42C. Further, in order to regulate the other end of the rotation range of the operation knob 25C, a pair of engaging portions 109 that can be engaged with each other, and the other end wall 121 of the engaging recess 113 are provided. Yes. The end wall 121 is provided at the other end of the engagement recess 113 in the circumferential direction of the fitting hole 42C.

When the projection 109 is in contact with the end wall 120 of the engagement recess 113, the operation knob 25C is in the first rotation position P31. When the projection 109 is in contact with the end wall 121 of the engagement recess 113, the operation knob 25C is in the second rotation position P32.
41, FIG. 42, and FIG. 43, the sliding door lock 1 of the present embodiment is configured so that the operation knob 25C is moved to the first rotation position P31 and the second rotation position P32. Each of them has the above-described urging member 110 as a holding force generating member for holding with a predetermined holding force. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the position shift from 25 C of operation knobs from the 1st and 2nd rotation position P31, P32 is suppressed. As a result, locking and unlocking become easy.

  The biasing member 110 elastically biases the protrusion 109 outward in the radial direction of the connection member 104. When the operation knob 25C is rotated, the protrusion 109 slides in the engagement recess 113 in a pressed state. The sliding resistance at this time is relatively small at the first and second rotational positions P31, P32 and relatively large between the first and second rotational positions P31, P32.

  Specifically, the engagement recess 113 has relatively deep portions 122 and 123 and a relatively shallow portion 124 in the radial direction of the fitting hole 42C. The deep portions 122 and 123 are disposed at both ends of the fitting hole 42C in the circumferential direction. The shallow portion 124 is disposed at an intermediate portion in the circumferential direction of the fitting hole 42C. The shallow portion 124 is shallow in the radial direction of the fitting hole 42 </ b> C so as to contact the tip of the protrusion 109. In the deep portions 122 and 123, the protrusion 109 faces the deep portions 122 and 123 when the operation knob 25C is at the first rotation position P31 and the second rotation position P32. At this time, the deep portions 122 and 123 and the protrusion 109 may contact each other or may not contact each other.

  For example, when the operation knob 25C is located at the first rotation position P31, the protrusion 109 faces the deep portion 122 of the engagement recess 113. When the operation knob 25C is rotated, the protrusion 109 abuts on the shallow portion 124 of the engagement recess 113. At this time, the protrusion 109 moves in the radial direction of the fitting hole 42 </ b> C while resisting the biasing of the biasing member 110. Along with this, the urging force of the urging member 110 increases, so that the sliding resistance of the protrusion 109 increases. In other words, the urging force of the urging member 110 acts as a predetermined holding force held at the first rotation position P31. Accordingly, the displacement of the operation knob 25C from the first rotation position P31 is suppressed. Similarly, the displacement of the operation knob 25C from the second rotation position P32 is also suppressed.

  Referring to each drawing of FIG. 35 and each drawing of FIG. 36, as described above, in the first state by the switching mechanism 52C, the first slider 35 and the second slider 36C can always move integrally up and down. (See FIGS. 35b, 35d, 36b, and 36d). The first state is achieved by inserting the operation shaft 101 into the engagement hole 103 when the operation knob 25C is attached to the second slider 36C. At this time, the operation shaft 101 and the engagement hole forming member 102 are engaged with each other.

  Referring to FIGS. 36f and 37, the second state by the switching mechanism 52C is a state in which the first and second sliders 35 and 36C are relatively movable when the second slider 36C is moved upward. (See FIG. 37). The second state includes a state in which the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can move integrally when the second slider 36C is moved downward (see FIG. 36f). The second state includes a state in which the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can move integrally when the first slider 35 is moved up and down (see FIGS. 36f and 37). Yes. The second state is achieved by the first engagement portion 118 engaging the second engagement portion 119 from above and the second slider 36C moving up and down by its own weight.

The unlocking display portion 78C is provided on the surface on the indoor side of the second slider 36C. For example, a blue paint containing the above-described easily visible material is applied to a recess formed on this surface. . The locking display part 74C and the unlocking display part 78C are arranged with a distance longer than the dimension of the opening 38 of the decorative seat 20 in the vertical direction Z. Accordingly, only one of the lock display part 74C and the unlock display part 78C can face the opening 38.

Referring to FIG. 35a, when the first slider 35 is in the lower locking position P11, the second slider 36C is in the lower position P22. At this time, the lock display portion 74 </ b> C is arranged facing the opening 38 of the decorative seat 20. At this time, the unlock display portion 78C is not visible. Since the lock display portion 74C is visually recognized, it can be easily understood that the lock is displayed.
Referring to FIG. 36a, when the first slider 35 is in the upper unlocking position P12, the second slider 36C is in the upper position P21. At this time, the unlocking display part 78C is arranged facing the opening 38 of the decorative seat 20. At this time, the lock display portion 74C is not visible. Since the unlock display portion 78C is visually recognized, it can be easily understood that the unlock display portion 78C is unlocked.

  In addition, the above-mentioned locking display part 74C and the unlocking display part 78C may be colored in colors other than the above-mentioned red and blue, and it is preferable that they are colored in mutually different colors. Further, the unlocking display portion 78C and the locking display portion 74C are visually recognized in different forms, for example, with different colors, different patterns, different characters, different shapes, etc. It is easy to see if it is locked.

The auxiliary operation knob 126 has a box shape surrounding the operation knob 25C. In the state where the auxiliary operation knob 126 is attached, the operation knob 25C and the auxiliary operation knob 126 are integrally operated. Thereby, the operation knob 25C can be substantially enlarged. It becomes easy to operate by operating the operation knob 25C via the auxiliary operation knob 126. The auxiliary operation knob 126 is provided with an engagement protrusion 127. An engagement recess 128 is provided in the operation knob 25C. The engaging projections 127 can be engaged with each other by being fitted into the engaging recesses 128 while being elastically deformed. Thereby, the auxiliary operation knob 126 is prevented from falling off from the operation knob 25C. In addition, the auxiliary operation knob 126 can be detached from the operation knob 25C by elastically deforming the pair of opposing engagement protrusions 127 so as to move away from each other.

  Referring to FIG. 30, by changing the size of the engagement hole forming member 102 in the front-rear direction Y, it is possible to cope with the case where the thickness of the sliding door 4 is different. For example, when the sliding door 4 is thick, the engagement hole forming member 102 having a large size in the front-rear direction Y is used. Thereby, the operation shaft 101 and the engagement hole forming member 102 can be engaged with each other. When the sliding door 4 is thin, the engagement hole forming member 102 having a small size in the front-rear direction Y is used. Thereby, the operation shaft 101 and the engagement hole forming member 102 can be engaged with each other, and interference between the second slider 36C and the engagement hole forming member 102 is prevented.

  Further, the internal unit 5C of the sliding door lock 1 of the present embodiment includes the following parts (1) to (6). That is, (1) the internal unit main body 18 fixed to the indoor sliding door 4 is included. (2) It includes a lock member 22 that is supported by the internal unit main body 18 and can be locked to the locking member 23 of the external unit 3. (3) It is supported by the internal unit main body 18 so as to be movable up and down, and the lower locking position P11 for locking the locking member 22 to the locking member 23 and the locking of the locking member 22 to the locking member 23 are released. For this purpose, a first slider 35 that is displaced to an upper unlocking position P12 is included. (4) includes a second slider 36C that opposes the second receiving portion 48 as the indoor portion of the first slider 35 and is movably supported by the internal unit main body 18 to the upper position P21 and the lower position P22. It is out. (5) The second slider 36C is supported by the second slider 36C so as to be able to move integrally up and down, and to be able to be turned to the first and second turning positions P31 and P32 around the predetermined axis C1 so as to be rotatable. The operation knob 25C is detachable from the second slider 36C when it is at the rotational position P32. (6) A first state including a state in which the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can be moved integrally in accordance with the attachment and detachment of the operation knob 25c with respect to the second slider 36C, and a state in which relative movement is possible. A switching mechanism 25C for switching to the second state including

  The first state is a state where the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can always move together. The second state is that when the second slider 36C is moved upward, the first and second sliders 35 and 36C are relatively movable, and when the second slider 36C is moved downward and When the first slider 35 is moved up and down, the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can move together.

  According to the present embodiment, when the operation knob 25C is attached to the second slider 36C, the operation knob 25C, the first slider 35, and the second slider 36C are in a state in which they can move integrally up and down. . In this state, the sliding door lock 1 can be easily locked or unlocked in conjunction with the operation in the vertical direction Z of the operation knob 25C. And in the locked state, it will be in a 2nd state according to removal of the operation knob 25C. The second state includes a state in which the first and second sliders 35 and 36C are relatively movable when the second slider 36C is moved upward. In this state, even if the second slider 36C is moved upward for unlocking the sliding door lock 1, the first and second sliders 35 and 36C are not interlocked with each other. As a result, the locking of the locking member 22 with respect to the locking member 23 is not released. Therefore, the crime prevention property of the sliding door lock is further enhanced as compared with the case where the operation knob 25C and the lock member 22 are always interlocked.

  In the present embodiment, the switching mechanism 52C is provided in the first slider 35 by forming the operation shaft 101 provided in the operation knob 25C and the engagement hole 103 engageable with the operation shaft 101. The engaging hole forming member 102 includes first and second engaging portions 118 and 119 which are provided on the first and second sliders 35 and 36C and engage with each other. The first state is achieved by the operation shaft 101 being inserted into the engagement hole 103 along with the operation knob 25C being attached to the second slider 36C. In the second state, the second engagement portion 119 is engaged with the first engagement portion 118 from above by the weight of the second slider 36C.

  In this case, the switching mechanism 52C is realized by a simple structure including the operation shaft 101, the engagement hole forming member 102, the first engagement portion 118, and the second engagement portion 119. Further, the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can be autonomously aligned with each other. Therefore, the operation shaft 101 can be easily inserted into the engagement hole 103 when the removed operation knob 25C is attached to the second slider 36C. As a result, it is easy to unlock or lock the sliding door lock 1.

  Further, the wall 115 as a retaining member restricts the removal of the operation knob 25C from the second slider 36C when the operation knob 25C is at the first rotation position P31, and the operation knob 25C is the second knob. When in the rotation position P31, the operation knob 25C is allowed to be attached and detached from the second slider 36C. In this case, inadvertent removal of the operation knob 25C can be prevented.

  It is also conceivable that the second slider 36 </ b> C is not restricted from moving downward relative to the first slider 35. In this case, the first and second sliders 35 and 36C can be moved relative to each other up and down. As such a case, the case where the 1st and 2nd engaging parts 118 and 119 are abolished in the sliding door lock 1 of the above-mentioned 4th Embodiment can be considered. Moreover, the case where the sliding door lock 1 of the above-mentioned 4th Embodiment is attached to the sliding doors 2 and 4 in the reverse direction regarding the up-down direction Z can be considered. Even in this case, it can be used without any problem. In addition, various changes can be made within the scope of the matters described in the claims.
