The support surface 28 has a width smaller than the diameter of the lock body 3, and two shaft portions 29, 29 which can be inserted into and removed from the respective insertion holes 15 of the lock body 3 are provided at upper and lower positions of the support surface 28. Have been. An engagement groove 30 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of each shaft portion 29 so as to be able to engage and disengage with the opening edge 20 of the notch portion 19 in the lock mechanism 16.

At one end of the holding portion 25, a closing plate 31 for closing each groove 27 is integrally formed, and the closing plate 3 for each groove 27 is formed.
In the vicinity of 1, an engaging portion 32 is formed to be engaged with the engaging groove 30 at each open end of the restraining member 4 when the vehicle lock 1 is stored.

1 to 3 show a state where the vehicle lock 1 is stored and held in the holder 2 described above. Restraint member 4
The shaft members 5 and 6 are bent halfway with respect to the connecting member 7, and the shaft members 5 and 6 are tightly fitted into the concave grooves 27 and 27 of the holding portion 25. It is in the state that was done. At this time, the open ends of the shafts 5 and 6 are in contact with the end plate 31, and the engagement grooves 30 are engaged with the engagement portions 32. The connecting member 7 and the shafts 5 and 6 near the connecting member 7 protrude from the storage portion 25.

The lock body 3 is held by the holding portion 25 in a state of being superposed on the restraining member 4, and the peripheral surface of the lock body 3 is supported on the support surface 28 of the holding portion 25. At this time, the two shaft portions 29, 29 protruding from the support surface 28 are
As shown in the figure, the lock plates 18 of the lock mechanism 16 are engaged with the respective shaft portions 29 by entering the insertion holes 15 of the lock body 3.

In the locking device for a vehicle having the above-described structure, the holder 2 is provided at an appropriate position on the vehicle body, for example, a pipe portion 26 below the saddle.
Is mounted via the mounting portion 21. When locking the vehicle, the vehicle lock 1 is separated into a lock body 3 and a restraining member 4,
After the restraining member 4 is set so as to be hooked between the wheel and the vehicle body, each open end of the restraining member 4 is inserted into each of the insertion holes 15 of the lock body 3 and connected. Thereafter, the operating mechanism 17 is rotated using the key 18 and the lock plate 18 of the locking mechanism 16 is rotated.
Then, the lock is performed by engaging with the respective engagement grooves 12 of the restraining member 4.

To remove the vehicle lock 1, the operating mechanism 17 is rotated in the opposite direction using the key 18, and the lock mechanism 1 is turned off.
The lock is released by disengaging the lock plate 18 from the engagement grooves 12 of the restraining member 4. Thereafter, the restraining member 4 and the lock body 3 are separated, and the vehicle lock 1 is removed from the vehicle body.

After the vehicle lock 1 is removed, the restraining member 4 is folded, and the shafts 5 and 6 are first accommodated in the respective grooves 28 of the holding portion 25 of the holder 2 in this folded state. Next, the respective insertion holes 15 of the lock body 3 are aligned with the respective shaft portions 29 of the holding portion 25, and while the lock body 3 is
The locks 3 are held by the holding portions 25 by inserting the shaft portions 29 into the respective insertion holes 15. Next, the lock plate 18 of the lock mechanism 16 is rotated integrally with the operation mechanism 17 using the key 18, and is engaged with each shaft body 29 to lock. In this state, the restraining member 4 and the lock body 3 are integrally held by the holding portion 25, and the engaging grooves 12 at the respective open ends of the restraining member 4 are engaged with the engaging portions 32. Is also prevented.
